    Sending gentle hugs to you Lita.

    So glad your family came together for the holiday. Hoping you find a treatment plan that provides pain and "spot" relief along with some energy! If good vibes from friends here can help, you will soon be up and giving Mr Cancer quite a piece of your mind! He can have that blind spot for starters.

    Lita - I get soaped up while sitting on toilet. Then I rinse in warm shower. If that helps.

    Thinking of you. Sending another photo..... my first baby skunk. Pooh.

    Lita I want to add my voice to the mix I'm so happy to hear from you😊. I am a worrier and I think of you a lot and each time I do I hope for relief and a turning back to normalcy for you. That those drugs finally kick in and do something. I've read that different drugs take different amounts of time in each of us to start working.

    I'll continue with sending my best mojo to you and a big virtual hug.

    Had my follow-up MRI this afternoon.

    No news yet. Hopefully my MO will get the report by tomorrow and let me know where things stand.

    Thanks to all of you for thinking of me.

    I'm crossing every body part so that scans are great. Lita are you still able to watch movies? I just bought the movie "Heal" from iTunes (yeah they got me) . So I watched it last night and it was so good. Maybe you might want to check it out☺️ . I'm thinking of you Lita everyday

    Massive diarrhea explosion at 1 am. I wasn't even able to make it off the La-Z-Boy b4 it happened. Thank God I was wearing depends. What a mess!

    Taxol induced, no doubt...also possibly because everybody's out of saline drips that are supposed to accompany chemo infusions. The plants in Puerto Rico sustained damage bcuz of the hurricane. Don't know when they will be up and running again.

    Just took a big swig of Imodium and will put one of those blue chux pads on my mattress in case I have another "episode"...what fun. Probably won't sleep much worrying about whether or not I'll have another incident. Wearing a fresh pair of depends, that's for sure.

    Oh, Lita! How awful. I'm so sorry.

    This saline drip issue must be solved soon!

    Crossing my fingers that the Imodium took hold and you got some sleep.

    Oh Lita, what a damn nuisance. Really? I had that happen during first go round with IV chemo when I received IV potassium for dehydration. It took me a bit to get "armed" with depends, pads, etc. I could hardly move, and hubby had to tend to our grandson.

    I am so thinking of you and wanting this to subside immediately. Really, doesn't Mr. C have better things to do than plague us with such indignities?

    He is the devil. Sending hugs, may the force be with you. MJH

    Lita~I am so sorry that you're dealing with everything you're dealing with. I think you're amazing. You are one tough cookie. Much love ~M~

    Lita well that's pretty shitty😉 Thank goodness for depends eh I didn't have that with Taxol I'm sorry you are dealing with that as well. Can you eat something that would help my mother always suggested beets. I'm so happy your tumours have shrunken I can't tell you how happy that makes me. I talked to a new friend on one of my Facebook feeds who is in your shoes as well. She is doing well now took a year though but she came out on the other side Lita and so shall you. Sorry about the pun I couldn't resist.

    Love the pun Wendy!  We have to find the humor in these times. 

    Lita - you always handle the most difficult situations with such strength and fortitude.  I've said it before - you are a force to be reckoned with!  ((Hugs))

    Dear Lita. Hang in there. Why is it always 1 am when you are asleep. MBC. The gift that keeps on giving. That’s one of the things I fear...losing control. My bladder is shot already but you just pick yourself up and grab a chux and Imodium and make it sound like “no big deal”. You are one tough cookie. Sending prayers your way.

    It doesn't help that thanks to mets, I can no longer do Kegels or even FEEL my hoo hah. Everything is numb down there. I also have no control over my sphincter muscles anymore. They makes things worse when these accidents are imminent, but I just have to deal with it.

    The Imodium has helped, but I'm still going to eat the BRAT diet today just to be on the safe side.

    We're going to see the Star Wars movie on Saturday....sadly, no popcorn for me. That would REALLY do a number on my digestive system with things being what they are these days. Too bad again, because popcorn is one of the few things that doesn't taste metallic to me. The Taxol has really thrown my taste buds off. Even my favorite cereals taste (Life, Grape Nuts Flakes, etc.) weird to me. Sweets and chocolates are the worst....so I won't even be able to buy a little bag of M & M's at the theater. I guess I'll bring apple slices or a banana to snack on - what fun!
