Bottle o Tamoxifen

Hi, Guys,

Been away for a while. Tried to catch up. Forgive me if i cant say hi to all.



Chabba, hope your MRI goes/went well. I understand the anxiety. I think we will just all be test anxious for a while. Thats what happens when youve been dx out of the blue.



Sherryc, i wish i could donate some of my excess poundage to you. Or at least share a milkshake. Good luck. Gaining weight is a challenge i dont have but i can appreciate that its hard.



Jo sorry if i missed this but what happened w your friend, Becky?



Ive been completely felled by bad bronchitis and asthma. Second time in two mos. Going to a pulmonologist today to try to figure out why this keeps happening. Could be an allergy. Ended up in the ER on saturday night with my first really bad asthma attack. Am now on steroids and a ton of other meds. Make me hyper like i didnt have enough trouble sleeping before. Oh and i an VERY cranky. Coughing all night. This asthma is relatively new and im wondering if its not exacerbated by the hormonal changes. Hard to know, just know that i have had it with this! Good news is that the chest xray is clear which does help me keep this all in perspective. Just a big drag. Im feeling sick all the time. And i sound like crap which seems to scare clients!

Oh well. Trying to stay positive.

Hang in, shari

shari sure hope your asthma gets better. Tell your PS husband he needs to invent a way to use donor belly fat and patent it.  He would be worth millions.

Tink my dad is doing fairly well.  He feels pretty good.  The only thing here lately is that he has pneumonia caused by the radiation.  We were a little scared last week because he had a CT scan and the radiologist did not look at his history very well and said that there was increased activity in is right lung. So we read the report and thought this does not look good.  But when the MO read the report he questioned it and called the radiologist and discussed it and then the radiologist decided it was pneumonia instead of increased cancer.  So he skipped a week of chemo to get the pneumonia under control and will do chemo again next week.  It amazes me how Dr's can overlook all your history.  I am just thankful our MO picked up on it and questioned it.

bsisnofun-I get cramps in my feet from time to time and they do hurt.  Seems they always get me during yoga, hate that.

Awe June Im sorry you have to go thru another issue.  I hope you will be able to enjoy the park in site of it.  Oh and by the way WHACKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bsisnofun - I had toe pains but I hate to say mine is related to rads and is part of the  permanent nerve damage I have.  I also have a burning/stabbing pain in my breast.  

June - Bummer you have something else on your plate.  This is Friday - so WHACKKKKKKK!!

Good Friday to all my Tammi friends

Hey Tink - This is Friday and you know what that means -  WHACKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

I couldn't help myself.  Have to go get test results this afternoon - just routine stuff.

Hee Hee Hee June!!!!!!!!!!!!!

June sounds like we need to start early today. I have never had kindey stones but I understand they are very painful. So sorry you are having to deal with this and hopefully all the drinking we are going to do around here tonight will help.

June I have been having more pain in my breast. I am just to the point that I don't even like complaining about it anymore. I see my pain Dr. on Oct 7th and I think I can just wait until I see him. I am using everything that he has given me and it works but I would really like to not have the intermittent pain. Would be nice if I could take a regular pill that would take care of it completely. But the upside is my PS said since the pain is only in my breast and not my arm that he feels the MX that I am going to have will take care of the nerve pain. Now I just need to gain weight. 1 pound in three months is not going to cut it. I drank a protein milk shake with ice cream last night. I could not get it all down but did drink most of it. Was going to have a banana and yogurt for a morning snack but I got busy installing new phones and next thing I new it was lunch time. So had a fast food hamburger and fries with a gillion calories. Am going to try a different shake tonight. DH hubby laughs and says I should just drink beer every day and get a beer belly. But he is freaking out that my PS is not going to let me keep my nipples. At this point I really don't care I figure I can get fakes of those as well, but DH is not dealing with it very well. He has 6 months to get use to the idea.

So here is to starting the weekend early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sherry brought the beer and she needs to put on some weight so here is the pizza to go with that beer.

Sherry - I am bringing my extra 8 lbs I have to lose.  But since that is two weeks away - here is some dessert for later.

OMG Jo where ever did you find those treats?  Sherry I think I have come up with a plan for those 8lbs.  All the drinks we gals consume tonight along with food will count as calories for you.  That should bring you one step closer to get those much deserved boobies......

Believe it or not girls I have passed so many, its the passing of the actual stone that can hurt, but once it hits the bladder its pretty easy.  This is such a different pain as i have not had one so comfortable and not wanting to leave my ureta.........again, why can't life be so simple and not one problem after the other....

LIfe does get complicated.  I registered for something called Casting for Recovery.  It is for BC patients and it is free and you spend the weekend learning to flyfish and they have speakers about bc stuff.  You register and then they pick.  I got picked as an alternate so still hoping that I get to go.  But there is paperwork you have to send it and one is a medical release.  I felt like a kid asking my mom for permission when I asked my PCP to fill it out.  He then realized it had been two years since he had seen me even though her gets reports on me all the time so when I went to pick up the release the secretary said I need to come in next week for a check up.  That will be easy he needs no blood work cause I get it done every three months and he gets copies and I have not been sick other than BC treatment so I'll pay him $30 and see ya next year. But he is really nice and I really like him so I'll go see him.

June, just thinking about kidney stones brings the memory of that pain flooding back.  You have my fervent prayers for relief.

June- I have only had one kidney stone in my life and it literally knocked the breath out of me....my ex gets them all the time ....I hope it passes soon orbreaks up and leaves you painfree. Geez...one more thing to think about!!
