Mel, thx for thinking of me. I've been on a board break & popped back in because I got a pm. There was a period of time where I wasn't very well, has almost constant cycling fevers and incresible fatigue & weakness. I was essentially bedbound and only had a few good hours a day and I decided I needed to spend those hours with family and non cancer stuff.
I'm better now & getting my strength back (took a 20.min walk on Sunday, can cook my own lunch etc) and everyone is hoping this is a sign that the liver mets are shrinking. CT next Monday so we will find out soon
Hugs for everyone

Still thinking about Mae today.
Moth, sorry you were so sick but glad you seem to be on the mend. I am happy to hear that. I also envy your type of weather in the summer as well. Not as humid and gross as here overall, even if the interior heats up quite a bit.
I had chemo today. Made a giant breakfast this morning. Combined my beans, shredded cheese melted added 1/2 cup of my regular cereal and a handful of the bran bark type cereal. I also added extra wheat bran too. I am obsessed with fiber these days. Loaded some taco seasoning and salt as well as queso and stirred it in. It was delicious though may be considered strange. I do not like eggs or bacon but need the extra protein and carbs that won't just burn off and leave me shaky.
I did walk both ways to and from and it is hot and humid and sunny here. Though I find it a PIA to carry, my UV black umbrella came in handy. Though I was not actually cooler, I did not feel overheated since the sun did not beat down on my head. I find it surprising that in a hot climate, I don't see more people adopting umbrellas if they must be out in the heat. Of course I understand for runners that would not work, but for walking, it just keeps it feeling like you can keep going. I am going to walk some more this afternoon instead of sleeping. I will shorten the walks into about 15 or 20 mins. Don't need to deliberately push my luck but find the activity helpful to reduce the fatigue I feel post infusion over the days.

Moomala,
How's it going? Back feeling better? How about the weight gain mission?
Best,
Stacey

Rosie, the walk is about 30 mins each way. Little longer when hot and humid.

Hi all.
Mae- In your pocket.
I am staying in the AC today. Hot and humid with showers in the area. TV and surfing the Net. Another quiet day at home. Sigh...
Hi mara, Tanya, Mel.
Moomala- How ya doing?

NO LEPTO METS 🎉
I was not prepared for that but the clean spine MRI ruled it out. I saw the imaging and understood the concern but this is very good news. The two spots still need to be zapped, so radiation to those in a couple weeks.

So happy for you Mae, need a stiff drink to celebrate. Xx

Mae, so fantastic to hear that you do not have lepto mets. That radiation you receive will get rid of those mets. So glad you can breathe a sigh of relief and move on from this uncertain time.
Due to the holiday here, nothing was open. I did a half hour walk on the treadmill this morning, filled out surveys for pocket money and did laundry. Took it easy today. Probably napped some as well. Nice day overall and fairly productive. Am saving up to buy a really nice broom and dustpan that clip together and will hang off my door which is cool.

Mae, I have been following your latest developments and hoping that you would receive good news. This is good news indeed. Lepto mets would be scary, but we know you can handle mets in the spine. The radiation will be over in no time, and that will be one less thing to worry about. I do hope you are able to increase your food intake soon. You have been through so much during the past several months. You deserve some relief. I think of you often even though I don’t post. I do enjoy reading your posts, imagining what it’s like to be in the places you travel, admiring your wardrobe you plan to pack, and hearing about your adventures in the woods, the kitchen, and now even in your new pool. My thoughts will be with you as you start your radiation treatments.
Hi to everyone else although most of you don’t know me since I rarely post here
Hugs and prayers from, lynne

Oh MAE - wonderful news. I've been lurking on this thread to keep track of your test results, and this is GREAT. While we may not be able to 'raise a glass together' just yet, that's coming.

Thank you all for rallying around and celebrating with me, it means everything. Whether it’s good vibes, thinking of me or prayers, I appreciate it. For those that pray, please know that even though I am not a believer, I realize that you are and I know you are doing what you can to help. Those good intentions are never lost on me.
50’s, I miss you and think of you often, I hope you are doing well.
Minus, as soon as it’s safe, we’re having that drink. I did have a small glass of wine, virtual cheers!
We grieve together and we are relieved together. Micmel, you started a great group here 💖
