    Welcome Lizzie.  I did not have to drive very far for rads, but I did want to stay home after they had finished.  After a few months of hermitting, I started going back to my preradiation activities.  While I was staying home, I wondered if I would ever want to be active again.  I was pleased when my feelings changed back, and I started reaching out again.

    Welcome Lizzie, this is an awesome thread with alot of caring people.

    Mags I do that often. well maybe not often but if you mess with my kids or grandchildren then I tend to off you...did that about a year ago with a friend who had been one since the 70's....she promised something, then went back on the promise and then threw how she was there for me and took care of me in my face, so done. she has been trying to get back and misses me for the last year or so...don't need it just friended her daughter who is pleading her case but am done....it is easy for me to be done and be done and I am not from a military family, and I am compassionate to a fault....good luck with chemo ...we r here if you need to talk...I have no issues with Zofran love it...not sure why I am still nauseous unless it is from the antibiotic I am on....still done with chemo cause of the side effects, everybody is understand and not giving me a hard time about it.....dr. wants me to go on hormonal therapy, not sure how i feel about it, am done with all side effects..no matter what they are...have a good sunday. bbl

    Lizzie- welcome to this thread. Lots of nice folks here to talk about anything with, including the good days, not so good days, SEs, and more. I too felt after awhile the support system needed a break from my process, worries, etc. I am almost two years out from diagnosis and found this thread after I was diagnosed and heading into surgery. These folks went through that, my radiation treatments, start of anastrazole (AIs), job challenges, fatigue stories, relationship issues, and more. I have stayed with this thread the longest, because of course, we have the longer term things we deal with like follow ups, hormone treatment, etc. And I just like the gals on this thread, I feel we are all friends here. I hope you will find this a comforting and non judgmental place. 

    About the twitching, I had internal radiation treatments and lots of fatigue and some fat necrosis (breast tissue that dies from the process), but no twitching. You may want to check some of the meds you are taking and/or talking to your oncologist to see if they think it could be related to anything with your BC? It is hard to know sometimes because many of us are taking other things and/or have other conditions as well. Let us know what you find out?

    I may join the Decluttering thread soon. I am cleaning and decluttering today, the beginning of a lot more to follow in the coming month.

    Hope everyone is having a good Sunday. End of June on the horizon.....

    Blondie, isn't it funny how they keep coming back, even when it's clear that they don't really like you? The one I was talking about has even tried to get back with me by texting my DH. He asked me the other day to please call her but by then I had already told her to just leave me alone. She doesn't need me and I certainly don't need her. 

    Fortunately for the rest of my family, DH and cousin are far more forgiving. Even though my Alaska sister, whose two kids we were always there for when they were growing up (their dad died of cancer when they were preteen), and her kids completely turned their backs on us after we invested years of time and lots and lots of money in their upbringing. Her son lived with us his senior year of high school because the school he'd been at was so bad he'd been in trouble. If it weren't for our diligence and investment in his life he wouldn't have that piece of paper. We haven't heard from him in many years. Not a word of thanks. Yet DH still keeps him as a friend on Facebook, even though I don't believe the boy has even spoken to him.

    Anyway,I know DH and cousin have kept the family updated on my situation, but I've not heard a word, nor do I expect to.

    Onco, you have a wonderful collection of birds.  Do you have feeders?  Do most of them or all of them stay year round?

    U gals re doing a ot of yakking in the last 2 days.

    Lizzie Welcome, I hope u come back and tell us a little something abut u'r self and it's true this is a great thread for all of us.

    I've been so busy Iately with phones and actual personal calls I'm way behind in my computer world. This is happening more and more and I don't like it. Now see I can't think of anything I really read except birds, feeding birds, knowing birds--well that figures cuz that's another thing I know nothing about.

    Didn't get much sleep last nite but my SIL should be home today with some pain meds, antibiotics and something else.

    Oh I had more to say, but my eyes are burning right now so BBL

    xxxoooxxx
