STEAM ROOM FOR ANGER

Yeah, so I finally got ahold of the lady who could make the appointments for me and guess what? She said they were already rescheduled! I told her no one had told me they were scheduled. Then she told me there were just notations in my file/record. Well that’s not going to help me…. Sigh…. At least it’s all scheduled now.

be careful out there...virtually no one wearing masks at retail and drivers are MEAN. Horns blaring, angry gestures. Really people, we are alive, well (for today) and it's the holidays. Shameful. Going back to nature to find the peace and quiet joy I know exists.

7of9, Nature is really the only thing that makes some sense in this world. And I think many times that mother nature has had it with us

All the more reason to live in my house and stare out the window as much as possible. Avoid anyone I do not want contact with. Even do doctor ones on the computer now if we can now and stay out the offices. From what I've seen on the news people are driving llike maniacs out there right now and there are accidents all the time. A lot of them are DUI even in the middle of a weekday!!!

This kind of posting on FB just amps up my annoyance factor!! Why are we still talking like this??? Tatas? Lady bumps??
"Can we chat about your Tatas? Breast Cancer can be kicked if it's discovered early!
Book your mammogram with the BC Breast Cancer Screening program and have their mobile unit visit us on the island. I've registered with a date TBA, I'm guessing they wait until they have enough pending appointments before they book the trip over.
Just call the number listed and get it booked for your lady bumps!
I just want to post on her thread, but I know I shouldn't as I won't be able to be kind.... I was diagnosed early & yet here I am stage IV. You guys are the only ones who get it.

GG27...sigh. Don't get me started. Breast cancer has been trivialized and sexualized for so long, the cutesy words that actually mean "breasts" have become commonplace. Breast cancer is fluffy, cute, pink, feminine, trendy, and most of all...guaranteed to be survivable, and all you have to do it "catch it early." '
"Save second base!" You can have second base. Save my life.

Not to mention the surgery is ugly as well and you are never the same after this at any point.

I have often felt that people think breast cancer is no big deal. Sometimes I trick myself in to believing it. Then it just crashes over me.
I have been crying for 2 days. SIL who is really a sister to us is in ICU with covid pneumonia. She was put on a vent yesterday and now today some type of heart issue has changed her statis from stable to critical. She also has cancer (CLL) which doctors felt was close to being in remission. But because of her chemo her immune system sucked. I am sick of people thinking this virus is no big deal. Our county has a mask mandate but u see people all the time not wearing one. Would it fucking kill u to put one on!! My DIL works at a major trauma hospital. Spoke to her yesterday and she said they are out of beds and are intubating people all day long. Thats what she does and she's scared of getting it. Have we always been so selfish that we can't do something for the greater good? Wear a mask and get a vaccine?

KIDI - I’m sorry about your SIL. Hope your DIL can avoid getting sick. I have family members working with COVID patients who haven’t gotten it, but it is risky.

Hugs to all who have lost their loved ones.
I just want to chime in on dr. office phone systems and a little rant. I was dismissed from gyno/onco after 3 years of follow-up for total hysterectomy for endometrial cancer and told to see regular gyno once a year. Went 3x and then covid hit. Tried to make my annual appt., after being on hold for who knows how long, finally caved and opted for the call-back option. 18 months later, still waiting for that call.......... I can assure you, I am assiduous in my annual BC appts, but not so much for this - and you know why???? At my last appt., it was a different gyno, who, in the course of the exam, remarked you have hemorrhoids. As if I didn't know! Thank you very much and now you qualify for Board Certification in Proctology. Stick to your hole. All thing I wish I had said but of course didn't.

KIDI919 I'm so sorry about your SIL.
I am having mild cold symptoms so i scheduled a test for tomorrow to rule out covid19. I was at a funeral last week, and I have one this Saturday so hope to know if I can attend or not. Thinking about heading home to work. I wasn't expecting to, so I had to come in and get some stuff off my desk. I hate this.

I have metastatic breast cancer discovered three months after retirement and moving to a new state to live in the woods. I just finished two years of no pain, no progression, just a daily nap needed, and various estrogen blocker pills.
Finally the word progression and chemo pills enters my world due to the continued rise in my tumor markers. NO! Why can't I freeze the moment before chemo? Will I really only live a total of 10 years? Will it be less? Unable to accomplish much this week. Feeling really worried, waiting to start the chemo pills. Why can't they just leave me alone? Why can't I just live a normal life and enjoy my retirement world? Why did the cancer progress? I am so scared and want to cry. Two years of knowing this cancer could grow and change, and then it finally happened. CT scans will take place to see if the cancer is still not in my organs. Where is it if my tumor markers have risen? Where is it?

My husband stated he wants a divorce today. As I type, he is packing up. Four kids -- 25, 23, 8, 6. I am in my second week of rads. I have no family in the state we live in. I have no close friends here. I also have 12 Kadcyla infusions left to go, one every three weeks. I don't even know if I'm mad. I don't want to work myself up because I don't want this to kill me. I just wanted to vent.

Woodlands, I'm so sorry. It's terrible news in any circumstance, but it's like adding insult to injury for it to happen now as you were starting your new phase of life. But maybe being in the woods you love will be what gives you strength.
AlwaysMeC, How appalling! Maybe if you can, think of it as another cancer that's getting removed?
Hugs to both of you and anyone else who needs one.

AlwaysmeC, what a nightmare you are living through at the moment. You are not mad, just keep letting off steam here whenever you need.

Wow just wow - AlwaysmeC I am so sorry and I think I agree with Alice. Think of him as another cancer to be removed. Stay in contact with your sisters here we will stand with you. Does your oncology group have access to therapy programs and community support? I hope you can access those resources if they are available.
Woodlands so sorry to hear of your news. (((Hugs)))
I was going to vent about my SIL. My brother is recovering from surgery for lung cancer where they removed a lobe from the right side. His pathology came back concerning enough that his oncologist wants to do adjuvent chemotherapy. MO wanted him to begin treatments Nov30. But SIL came down with an upper respiratory infection (not covid). I was worried about her until my brother caught it and he admitted to me that she has not been wearing her mask while out running errands. Grrr. You have an immunocompromised spouse who needs to begin treatment that will further compromise him and you go out and bring this illness home that is delaying treatment. Good grief.

Woodlands: Sorry to hear your news and offer ((Hugs)). I hope you will be able to distract yourself from your current worries by appreciating the beauty of the flora and fauna in your woodlands. We have a wooded propery that gets daily visits from all sorts of birds including the 4 legged sometimes antlered and nonantlered ones that raid the bird feeder as well as squirrels and foxes. It is one of the ways I defuse.
AlwaysmeC: You have enough drama in your life with your dx and tx so good riddance to another source of drama. Hopefully your older children will be supportive and the younger ones will keep you engaged in their lives. We are here for you. I have no local family support system and my BFF lives over an hour away so I can identify with your feelings. Try to see if there is a local BC support group that you can join, it's nice to know someone who is going through the same experience. You need to focus on your well-being first; hard to do but we women so often do not make time for ourselves and it is critical to do so even if it is only for 15 minutes a day. ((Hugs)).
Rah2464: Shame on your SIL and I wish a speedy recovery to your brother once he can start chemo. ((Hugs)) to you as well.

Rah2464, is your SIL always an idiot or just selfish? I'm so sorry your brother has to suffer more because of her crappy decisions.

I know Alice is going to love this-so here you go ladies, this quote from a co-worker:
"I only cough in here. I go home and I didn't cough at all. I have been coughing and sneezing, I am sure driving everyone nuts. I think it may be the dry air and it's so warm in here. I feel fine today. I'm sure I should have stayed home last week, but I don't want to use my PTO for a sick day. I know, it's wrong. So, I get everyone sick. I did take a rapid test and I'm fine. I get my booster today at 3:30 and a flue shot. I am prepared to be rough tomorrow but I think I'll be fine."
Unbelievable!
Thank God my boss has no problem with me working remotely and I don't have to be there sucking in everyone's germs. While at home yesterday my landlord was by, and I had no idea how stupid he and his girlfriend have become. I lived here for years and have always liked them. She apparently breaks out in a rash whenever she's around vaccinated people. He is convinced the shot changes your DNA. The man is surviving a stage iv thyroid cancer with conventional treatment and swears if it comes back he won't do conventional, he's going to Mexico.
Honestly, WTF is wrong with people? They are getting dumber by the day!!!! My vent for today!!! ARGH

KIDI, that's heartbreaking! I'm so sorry...
ctm - ??????? She gets a rash when she's around vaccinated people? Maybe tell her you're NOT vaccinated and see if her rash goes away. When it does, you can say, "Oops, my bad. I guess I AM vaccinated, after all."
