You guys know how much I hate missing meetings. My MO appointment isn’t until 12:15 today, and even if I get out on time, the Internet is very spotty for the ride home. I will come Wednesday if I don’t make today. Ugh. I will miss you all.

@kbl-hope you do get to see the mo today and not the PA. Will be thinking of you while eating lunch onboard the ship. 😎
I am always not able to make today's (and Wednesday's) meeting this week. Missing everyone. See you next week with lots of updates.
Hope everyone has a good week.

@kbl , hi Kris, missed you this week. You're such an significant member of the Monday group that for me, when you're not there it doesn't feel complete. I hope you're having fun with grandson and everyone else. Sending love and hugs 🫂 🤗 ❤

@Rosebessie Aw, thank you so much, Rose. I had a doctor’s appointment at the time of the meeting. My appointment was at 12:30, and she finally walked into the room at 3:15. I missed you too. I hate missing. I will see you Monday.
I just thought of you because of what happened last year. Our time is changing this Sunday, November 3rd, which means our meeting will be an hour later for you like last year. Ugh.

@kbl Hi Kris, so happy to hear from you. Appointment at 12.30 and doctor walks in past 3pm. Yikes!!! You cannot make up some of the stuff we go through as "patients for life". I hope the Appointment went well.
Yeah, your Northern hemisphere clock changes mean I'll be half-asleep through some meetings, especially now it's terribly hot out here. Nairobi doesn't get extremely hot but today it hit 82⁰F. The global warming is real.
Nice to catch up and I look forward to see you Monday. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead with your loved ones.

@Rosebessie Ooh, I hope it doesn’t get much warmer for you.
My appointment wasn’t anything special, more so that I wanted to take a look at my tumor markers. I haven’t gotten them back yet.You have a great rest of your week as well. I hate that you have to join so late in the evening, but I’m so glad you do.

@going2beatthis enjoy your cruise 🚢❤️
@illimae so glad the new radiation is quick and easy . ❤️
I had my 2nd one today of 15. My breast is already hot and swollen lol.. hope the cancer cells are dying and drying up. Met with my RO and she took pictures, told me to sleep with my sports bra on and warned me that we are trying to peel the entire breast so new skin can grow without the cancer . So it will get worse before it gets better, but I’m all in and ready for it, got my creams lined up…and to help my mind and spirit adjust I found a lovely creative visualization for radiotherapy on Allevi8 app. Also back on Carboplatin to help get this under control and have infusion tomorrow, so won’t be able to join Wed, but will check in here on folks and see you all Nov 18 once this is done and dusted. Thank you @moderators for the shout out.@Rosebessie and @kbl yes, flowing with both the heat and appointments that take most of the day. I can so relate to being patients for life, students of life too in so many ways. ❤️

@rlschaller Radiation does not sound fun. I’ve never had it. Hoping it does exactly as it’s supposed to for you and doesn’t get much more painful.
I’m assuming now that I’m off treatment, my doctor visits will slow down.
I was able to go to the waterfall yesterday and walked up and down rough terrain for almost 2.5 miles. That’s what I see as quality over quantity for me. I’m hoping I get quite a bit more quality and will take it one day at a time.

@kbl I've always found nature to be the wisdom place, if you know what I mean. This beautiful planet..
Good wishes to all who are getting through various treatments this week.

@rlschaller - glad you were able to find a visual creative visualization for radiotherapy on an App and that it is helping you get through your sessions.
@illimae - 60% done 👏 Glad the sessions are going quickly. Plan on wearing the mask for Halloween?
2 -
Enjoying our cruise despite the weather being cloudy. Reclining on balcony with my virgin lemon drop martini....
5 -
@going2beatthis. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to get the mask until I’m done on Nov 1st but I will find a use for it.
2 -
@illimae Oh, boy. I didn’t know it had been put up. I don’t think I realized I had the redness around my cheeks and nose. I don’t know what does that. Lol. Something with my sinuses. Thank you 💕
That mask does not look pleasant, and I’m glad you’re not claustrophobic. I hope the next few go quickly and easily for you.
@going2beatthis You look great, and I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself.

I'm trying to post here but my Internet keeps dropping. Hope this goes thru
I just want to wish Rhonda and @illimaellimae all the best during this week's treatment sessions. 🙏👍
@kbl that walk on the beach sounds like just the thing to do. Love it!!! Enjoy your "me time" ❤🫂
@goingtobeatthis Fay.…oooh. A cruise..... Hope you're having a great time.
Love and hugs to all 🫂❤

@Rosebessie I used to live right by the beach and hardly ever went. I actually was walking in the mountains. So much better than the beach for me. Some of us like water and some of us like mountains. I’ve definitely found my happy place in the mountains. 💕
1 -
@kbl Awww, so glad you've found your Happy place. Sending you best wishes for more fulfilling walks around the mountainside. I also prefer mountains to water altho for walking I'm happier in the concrete jungle... aka city. I'm an incorrigible urbanite. Hoping you've all had a great week all-round and looking forward to tonights meeting 🤗🫂🙏
2 -
@Rosebessie @kbl You are my kindred spirits. I'll take the crisp air of the mountains any time to lying on the hot beach. Plus, I am thrilled watching climbers and movies about climbers, even though I could never be one. @illimae You are one tough, brave lady.
