No treatments for me.

Cin, so glad you checked in, wonderful lady! I hope the surgery helps and they can take care of that abscess problem, ouch. I know that is uncomfortable for you.

Sending you lots of hugs and good thoughts!!!!

Hey Cindy, It is good to hear from you. I am glad to hear that you are going to have less discomfort after this proceedure.  Take good care of yourself.  Love GInger

Hi Cindy,

Great to hear from you.  Good luck tomorrow with surgery-will be praying for you.

Know all about the hell that is the moving business Carp-we just moved home last year after12 years abroad-and just in time for my diagnosis, go figure! Best of luck.

Blessings to all you girls.

Cin, thanks for checking in, so sorry to hear you are having abscesses. I am sure you will feel MUCH better once they are opened and drained! Will this be outpatient, I hope? I will keep you in my prayers tomorrow and always.



Ali, glad to hear there are some bright spots in your life along with all the other stuff. I am learning to focus on those "bright spots" and ignoring the others as best I can, since I can't change them anyway.



I had an all-day session with zometa infusion, PCP/palliative care, and MRI yesterday, and today I can't believe how bad I feel, but after near-toxic doses of tylenol and an Aleve, I think I may not die today, LOL! I talked with my PCP about hospice choices even though I am not quite ready for that yet. She actually signed some forms for me to keep in case someone would be with me if I had some accident or medical problem (such as stroke or heart attack) and called 911. DH knows better, but you can never trust someone who might just be visiting.



I told her I do NOT want to EVER go to an ER or be admitted to the hospital under any circumstances; hospice can provide inpatient services for pain crisis, but hospitals do not. We had a very good discussion of my requests - no feeding tube, no medical hardware or devices, etc. She wrote it all on an official form, and signed it. She said this is a legal document, paramedics must follow the doctor's orders. I am keeping it with my DNR/advance directives and my durable power of attorney in my purse that I carry everywhere, and am going to put a card in my wallet to direct anyone to look in the purse for those forms. So although it was a long day and I feel like I was run over by a truck, I got a few little details taken care of.



Hugs to all of you here. Special hugs and thanks to Cin for taking a few minutes to check in.

Cindy-Rose, we're all sending good thoughts for your surgery Thursday, and wishing you the result and fewer problems you're hoping for.

• Your Mods

Cin, keeping you in my heart, hoping you get great relief from the surgery.



I woke up feeling a thousand percent better today. Am so glad it only lasted a day and feel like I can really be back to normal activity today.



Sending all of you much lovingkindness, hoping you each find some moments of beauty and joy today, hoping you all feel as well as you can with as much energy as you can.

Hi Cindy

This should be post-op day #5 for Cindy - Cin, I hope you are feeling better. Special gentle hugs.



And hugs all around today. Hope you all find a few moments of peace and beauty today. It is finally sunny here, so I am enjoying my birds before the afternoon of appointments with BS and LE therapist. Ugh. But then looking forward to my mother coming for another visit. She always lifts my spirits - it's kind of "either get with the program OR ELSE!" with her - I really have no choice but to have good spirits when I am around her, LOL! She has a wonderfully wicked sense of humor and probably laughs more than most women I know, especially at her age. And it is infectious, wish I could share her with everyone here!

Celine, I suspect you will never quit missing her. I have occasionally let my thoughts wander into the "what if's" about my mom, she has a boatload of health issues that she just deals with and doesn't worry about tomorrow, so I am trying to do that as well. And I am enjoying her here and now, treasuring the moments that I DO have with her.

Hi All,

Passing by to say hello.  Hope, after your op,  pain level is improving every day Cin.  Praying for you.

Ali, hope gynecologist apt goes well for you.  Good luck off the Tamoxifen, you sure sound sick of it!.  I hope things will improve pretty quickly for you with regard to SE's.

Linda, yes, having happy thoughts today, sun coming and going but I'm enjoying the day.....

Ok just when i had my head around not taking Tamoxifen my eldest daughter called me. Her house mate who's mum had breast cancer ( lives in Germany and no chemo only surgery) just found out she has throat cancer.



My daughter is upset and wants me to go back on Tamoxifen.
