So...whats for dinner?

debbie6122

Oh michelle your poor husband, what he must of been going through!! Dang it when they make you wait like that!!!

LuvRVing

I know, Debbie, the wait is so hard!  I did have a thought that my MO might have requested my Dana Farber RO to review the scan.  Who knows if he's even in the country at the moment.  I will be patient.

Michelle  It's sooo hard to be patient!  Good for you...keeping busy....but what are the rest of us supposed to do? 

I worked so hard in the yard today, we will do leftovers for dinner.

Debbie that sounds like an amazing breakfast.  We (meaning me) just made scrambled eggs and toast, my Dh was asking "what, no meat?"  This is part of the reason I dont lose weight...ha ha gotta blame someone.

SeasideMemories

Laurie,



Glad that you are doing better!



Debbie,



I want to come to your house for breakfast!!! Everything you make always sounds so good!! I saw that chocolate cream cheese at the store.... That could be dangerous to have around! Sounds like you had a good weekend despite the change in plans! How is Chuck feeling?

Lacey12

Seaside, that is so true....no news is just that....no news....unfortunately one needs to be totally "left brained" to feel that since the right side of our brain is too busy reading every anxious possibility into the no news yet wait time.



Michelle, You've been in my thoughts all day.....I even broke my own no phone rule at work to at least check out your post.... How awful for your poor DH to have that miscommunication at such a critical time. Yikes! This is a crazy time for you guys. Hope you can get some relief via good news tomorrow.

debbie6122

Michelle- Carries right, what are we suppose to do? Well, i will tell you let us do the worrying and you sit back and relax lol! I wish we could take all they worrying for you!!!

Carrie-My DH is the same way he wants his meat! If i make pasta he does not seem to miss it as much though.

Seaside- Warning- Do not buy the flavored cream cheese they are sinful!!! LOL! funny you should mention it while im reading your post im eating some popcorn with a little bowl of white choc and semi sweet choc cream cheese. I was sitting here thinking while eating it, hmmm wonder if the white chocolate cream cheese would be on my macaroni salad, honest i was! As silly as it might sound i might take a table spoon of macraroni salad and a dab of the white one and mix just to satisfy my curiousity. LOL! I wanted the dark chocolate one but they did not have any, i will not buy it if i see it now, too too many calories and hard to resist.- Chuck is doing ok, he still has a lot of the same SE he had but starting to get a little used to it. Thanks for asking ;-))

Debbies, your breakfast is making me hungry. It has all the stuff I admit that I really miss sometimes. Growing up in Denmark, I do love potatoes, for example.

apple

our friends are smokers.  We send them fake dissapproving looks whle we delightedly accept their briskets.  They even brought little dinner rolls and beans.

Great smokers.

LuvRVing

LOL, Apple!!!  Now that is some great smoking!!!

Laurie:  That's good news about the PVC's getting better.  I tell you, that prilosec is bad stuff.  I think mine started while I was self medicating on it for stomach issues.  Just keep taking the probiotic as it will help to straighten out your stomach problems and restore good bacteria to the system.  Also try cutting back a little on sugar and white carbs.  Mine are almost nonexistant since I did that.

Michelle:  How annoying that you didn't get a call back, if only to tell you that they do not have anything to tell you because the results are not in.  I would be on the phone first thing today bugging them until I got an answer.  It isn't fair to keep you waiting this way.

Today I go for my first diagnostic mammo since my surgery, so I'll be playing the waiting game as well.  I'm not so worried because I had a thermography that was clear about a month ago.  It will be a test to see how well the thermography works.  In the future I'll be alternating the two.  

LuvRVing

Kaara - good luck with the thermography today.  It's always nice to have a test that isn't going to cause you any stress! 

When I call my MO's office, I now get an answering service (regardless of the time of day) who takes all your information and states that you'll get a call back within four hours.  I think only doctors now get through immediately.  I called yesterday at 8:30 a.m.  So they blew that one.  With my last PET, I had the results in less than 24 hours, so that is why I was so sure I'd get a call yesterday if not sooner.  I'll be calling again at 8:30.

Last night I had half of a Chipotle bowl (white rice, black beans, tomato salsa, corn salsa, lettuce, and guac) that was leftover in my fridge from Saturday.



Tonight I will have a vegan "bacon" burger and I'll bake some frozen French fries to go with it. Wish I could find some vegan Swiss "cheese" to make a mushroom melt burger, but oh well.

LuvRVing

My dear sisters - I know you are all waiting to hear from me.  I did get the news...it's bad news all the way around.  I have mets to both lungs, some additional nodes (both axilla, supraclavicular and mediastinal), and quite likely in the liver. 

I don't have to tell you what we are going through right now.  I will be back to you all later.  I do have an appointment with Dr. Wendy Chen at Dana Farber in Boston on Friday afternoon.  At least they are not wasting any time, neither is this cancer.  It is extremely aggressive.  I am more than a little scared.  But I plan to throw the book at it. 

Laurie08

  (((((((Michelle)))))))))))  I am so sorry, there are no words.  You are strong and you are going to a great hospital for treatment.  I know a woman who is on the TDM1 trial there and having great success.  Sending you and your family strength and love and prayers. 

Kay_G

Oh Michelle, I am so sorry.  Also sending you and your family strength and prayers.  And Laurie is right, you are strong and you are going to a great hospital.  You have your family nearby thank goodness and of course us.  I will be thinking of you and praying for you all day.

Momine

Michelle, I am so sorry to hear your news. This is one reason why I hate when people tell me that a good attitude will keep the cancer away, because if that was true you would not be getting this news. 

chabba

Michelle, I cry for you and will keep you in my heart and prayers as you face this dx and the the treatments to follow. 

debbie6122

OHHHHH Michelle- Im crying right now, this dam f..king cancer!!!! My heart is heavy for you. No words can help right now but know we are all here for you. Dam it!! Im so very sorry.

Sending warm gentle hugs {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

SeasideMemories

Awwwww Michelle,



So not the news we were hoping to hear... My heart just aches for you and your family that you are having to go through this!! I mean enough, is enough, already! Just so angry at the unfairness of this whole f-ing disease!!



Words fail me at this moment but, please know we are all thinking of you and holding you tight in our hearts!

Kaara

Michelle:  I am so sorry...my heart is broken for you.  Words cannot express how I feel..I can only send you prayers and hope that you will find the strength to meet this challenge head on.  You will be getting tx from one of the best hospitals so you know you will have the latest and best they have to offer.   

Thinking of you and remembering you in my prayers. 

carberry

Michelle {{{{HUGS}}}}  I agree with everyone else...you are one of the toughest people I know, and I know you will kick these new cancers ass!! Saying prayers for you and your lovely family.

carolehalston

Michelle, words can't express how upsetting your news is.  It's just wrong for bad things to happen to wonderful women like you and Apple and all the rest of our sisterhood.  I don't even care what's for dinner tonight.  But I will definitely be having a martini and probably a glass of wine, too. 

Hugs to everyone.

Lacey12

Oh Michelle, I am so saddened to learn that you and your family are facing this very painful news. I hope Dr. Chen knows that she has a very strong, loved and important person (and family) joining her team to defeat another damn cancer. Holding you close in my thoughts and deep in my heart. ((((((HUGS))))))

bedo

Michelle.  This is so unfair.  I can only imagine what you are going through.  When we met in NH I liked you right away.  You are so vibrant and you and DH do so many fun things.  I know that you will find a way to do these things again.  I wish that I had the words to make it better.  Private message me anytime.  Sally

Michelle:  You and your family are in my thoughts & prayers. 

LuvRVing

Thanks so much, everyone.  We just got home from dinner with the family, I am exhausted but I am OK.  We'll get through the next couple of weeks, enjoy the trip to Paris, and then start round 3 of this battle.

I will do this!

Kaara

Michelle:  I know you will get through this...you are a strong person, and you have a wonderful support system in both your family and medical team.  I am so glad that you are taking your trip to Paris before you begin tx.  Go and create some wonderful memories.  When I was told that I had a bad mammogram and needed an MRI, I decided to go ahead and take a cruise that we had planned and wait until I got back to Fl for my dx and tx.  We had a wonderful relaxing time and I never thought about what I would be facing when I returned.  I just adopted the philosophy "it is what it is"...I couldn't control what had already happened, but I could control my reaction to it.

Praying for the best possible outcome for you and sending you positive energy to face this upcoming challenge. 

debbie6122

Michelle- You are in my prayers. Sending positive energy to help get you through this. When you get back from your trip you will be ready to face this head on. Sending love to you my friend.

Michelle,

Haven't posted regularly, but keep up reading. I am sorry that the cancer is on the move.  I am sad that you have to go up against it again. It just isn't right.  You will get through it and I am confident that you are going to receive the best of care, love and support. It just angers me that you have to.

Hugs and Prayers,

Lexi
