    Hi everyone, had my check up yesterday. All looks good. The rash has gone down and the DR says the lumps are scar tissue. Just waiting now for the marker date for rads.

    Hope you are all safe

    MRI was clear - yayyyy!



    So I get to take a break from the Avastin for a bit - an extra week or two - then restart at a lower dose. I have never been so happy to only have SEs!!



    Thank you all so much for the good thoughts, I truly appreciate it - positive energy is such an important thing in my world-view :).



    Bak - I was getting the Avastin every 3 weeks. I get Zometa every 6 months, did your doctor say why you get it so often? I know they will do it monthly for bone mets, but I wasn't aware it was also given that much as a preventative.



    Laurajane - I'm paying it forward to you - all of the wonderful thoughts are now headed your way. Let us know how you are doing when you can. Hugs.



    Ahhhh, I can breath! Until the next scan, lol.

    Playing catchup Mac not working need my son to come home and fix it. LOL I'm using my iPad finally thought of charging it. Ha ha

    Heidi, MBJ and others- girls I've got enough pills to go around so I'm sending you all special cyber pain pills coated in chocolate hugs. Take with a TBL.spoon of homemade butter pecan ice creme . Hope you all feel better soon.

    Suze beyond happy fills my heart that it's just SE's, sorry I don't mean "just" I'm stll so sorry about your headaches and hope they go away soon with the decreased dose. By the way, I'm a shoe addict too! I lOVE nice shoes. Let's go out you can wear your snake skins I'll wear my Manolos Blahnik's they look like red twizzlers wrapped decoratively around my foot. I call them "Dinner" not "Dancing" shoes because they are so high. That means you go to an elegant restaurant, step out of the cab, gracefully walk to your table (hopefully without tripping) and be grateful you're sitting down

    for dinner. LOL

    Everything happens for a reason!!! I went to get my port yesterday the surgeon diagnosed my what I thought was spider bites as staph. Antibiotics for a week and then come back. I told him I was concerned about a new tumor about the size of yolk of a suunyside up egg on my sternum and the increased skin cancer since last tues. He called my onc and she requested I see her right away. When she saw me she was shocked at the progress since I've been on abraxane so she said forget the port and gave me avistan yesterday with the abraxane thru IV. I am so happy because I was not scheduled to see her until the 20th after my port would have healed and start the avistan. I think this is going to wok. By the way on the way up to Indy yesterday I saw a rainbow on either side of the sun in a blue sky with a few puffy clouds. First time I've ever seen one with out any rain before or after. I feel really ggod about this.

    Love you guys and hope you all have a great evenig. I can't begin to thank you all for your love and good wishes.

    Jenny so happy it's all good news.

    Suze35-Glad to hear your results! I am not sure why zometa every 3 weeks, maybe I am mixed up and that is for the avastin. I will find out tomorrow. I do know my calcium levels are low, doc told me to make sure I take my calcium supplements. I really need to start writing things down, I will take a notebook tomorrow! My doc is kinda like me, I jump from one subject to another, sometimes not completing the conversation.

    LauraJane-I can see it shrinking already!! So glad you got treatment right away. I have been very happy with how I feel on abraxane/avastin, although I have a cold right now. I don't want to go in tomorrow, worried I will get someone else sick :( I will wear one of those mask things.

    I must say having a cold on top of chemo sucks! Hope it doesn't weaken my immune system too much.

    LJ....those damn mets are going to GO AWAY...I know it.

    Suze..awesome on the clean scan...I seriously didn't think it would be bad...but glad they are cautious with you.

    Hang in there ladies and have a great Labor Day Weekend.

    I'm checking you on all daily..just haven't had time to post much...getting ready to send my son to college in a couple of weeks, plus trying to work and keep my house 1/2 clean plus cook/laundry etc...plus my daughters wedding.

    I am freaking out..I just can't handle all this stuff like I used too!

    Well, my back is about 90% better, so in a few days I'm sure I'll be doing something I shouldn't be and throw it out again. Too much work around here for me to be horizontal for no good reason.

    Retail Therapy- spent yesterday buying quality furniture and rugs for my kids restored townhouse. Tis always better to give than receive. Still have some more stuff I want to get, too.

    LJ- I'm glad your stepped up chemo regimen has helped to give you some more peace of mind. Waiting, especially under those circumstances, is a tough thing to do. You are in my thoughts daily.

    Today is recover the pool after the hurricane day-- the steam has been rising off of it wthout the solar cover on and I like my water *warm* (we have heated it with propane in the past but the current cost is just ridiculous). Plus, we have the future in-laws coming for the first time for a BBQ this weekend. Son hasn't popped the question yet, but it's been discussed and we all know she's the one.

    Take care everyone! Let's all try to have a nice Labor Day weekend here in the USA--- or where ever you are!
