Don't give up hope movie....still trying to find a way to rendezvous..!
Edi....gosh darn it...get better ASAP!!!!
Benny....sorry about the insomnia thing....wish I could help.
Did the drive the neighbour to chemo thing today...I swear I could feel my knees start to buckle walking down the same hallway of years ago...things were different, but recognizable. Got through it. Another "put it behind me" moment.
Morwenna.....hang in there with the rads, sorry about the heparin/warfarin thing.
Traii...hope son is feeling better????
Liefie....sheesh....it's like you never left the fitness thing!!!! Sounds like you're doing awesome!!!!
-
Edi, can you take Imodium? Not too much, just a little, and that should get rid of Johnny Cash. My innerds are STILL not normal either, so your tummy problems may be a flu or maybe we're still healing?
Sure enough, I unloaded 12 55-kg bags of horse feed today by myself. Then I groomed and rode two horses, one of them mine. Saddles weigh about 25 pounds and I was able to hoist them up onto both horses. I also mounted from the ground. So when I complain that I'm not getting any better I must remember this. Then I fed 32 horses and watered the stallions. If I don't sleep tonight something is wacko.
I just rescued Benny from a crisis. I went to check on him and opnened the front door. He was sitting there growling at something? I look over and it's Suzy, the resident skunk. She's eating my tiger lylies! I was wondering what was happening to them all? I flicked the light on but she just kept on munching. Benny was ready to pounce on her. Holy smoke, what to do! I retreated into the kitchen and ran the can opener. Success! Benny came in and I shut the door. Last I saw was Suzy still munching on the lilies, 3 feet away from me. She is surprisingly tame but I don't think she'd tolerate Benny pouncing on her.
Too much excitement, going to bed.... +_+
-
Edi...if intestinal track is jumpy....and not chemo related....try applesauce/ripe bananas, white rice , and plain white toast, no butter. Known in the US as the BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) diet....it can help slow down the "trots". (Sorry if toographic). Last resort......something with kaolin clay...like Kaopectate, here in US....
Nihahi, Iceberg Lake runs into Iceberg Creek, which empties into WILBUR Creek..........hmmmmmmmmm............
Morwenna you will have to hitch ride withNihahi....I am coming from Oregon...
Liefie, went to gym for first time since returning....am COMPLETELY done in.....
On an unrelated (sort of) topic....found out today that my 8 year old Lab, a sweet girl named Kona Coffee, has mast cell cancer......vet is talking about getting clean margins......OMG......so SICK SICK SIck of this.....going to have a meltdown......of course we are getting surgery.....
(((((((((
Tired, had a rough day....going to bed.....love to all...
Namaste and God Bless - Jackie -
Benny....O.....M....G!!!!!! Do you have ANY concept of what a NORMAL person would feel like after a day like that!!!! I shall never again accept your claims of not getting better/stronger/back to what you want to be able to do. I also believe your insomnia issues might just be a teensiest bit related to the fact that you live on Noah's ark, and the animals are just "toying" with your sanity!!!!
fyi....I didn't know cats growled???
-
movie.....so sorry to hear about doggie.....sending white light, positive thoughts to you.
-
-
Nihahi- that's awesome !!!! Took a picture of it!!!
Benny - u are a saint. I love love love your stories!!!
Movie - sorry to hear about the pooch
Edi - feel better kick Johnny out the door !!!
Traii - how are the girls ???
I still have stitches but the are looking good !!! -
Haha Nihahi, I am still laughing at your comment
Yes, you're right, I need to shut up about not having energy. And I'm surprisingly okay today, after toting all that horse feed and 50-lb bales of hay in the evening. Going back out for more torture today. The thing is, the barn owner is 74 and he seems to be getting weaker. He loves his farm and would just wither away to nothing if he had to sit in a nursing home and watch TV or sing "If You're Happy And You Know It" with a low-paid non-profit rec therapist. It is in his best interest as well as our best interest to support him as long as he wants to stay on his farm. He's an amazing man. And that poster of light is perfect, altho' I seem to need more light than others. 
Movie, so sad to hear about your dog. I don't know what mast cell cancer is but will tell you that we had a black lab when I was growing up, Midge, and she developed tumours. The vet did surgery and she died of old age. And that was in the 1970's. I am holding hope that you have the same experience.
Well, there is no sign of any tiger lillies this morning. At least Suzy didn't go after the geraniums. Like I said, she's quite tame. Not sure if that is a good thing or not but we've been co-existing for years now. I was locking up the front door a few weeks ago and turned to walk down the steps of the porch. Well, all of a sudden Suzy appears, in broad daylight, up the stairs, waddling happily along. She looked at me and paid no attention at all, then turned to wiggle into her hole under the shed, no big deal. She was within 2 feet of me. I froze haha! I've been putting greens out for the bunnies every evening and checking them in the morning to see if they're gone (they are) and now I'm wondering if it's Suzy who's getting them???? I'll have to notice if the bunnies are starting to look thinner.
Alright, off to see the giant plush toy! Have a great day everyone!
-
Benny - you can always make me laugh
. Quick thinking on your part with the can opener 
. Last year we had a resident porcupine who decided he like living under our deck and we had to watch when our son's dog came to stay with us.
I have had some trouble with insomnia and it seemed that the tamoxifen made mine worse - Dr. Taylor at BCSCF prescribed Clonazepam 0.5 mg at bed time as needed. I don't use it every night but if I'm feeling really tired and know the next day I have important things to do I will take it and it works great for me. It doesn't make me feel groggy at all and I wake up in the morning feeling good. Until you updated on your activities I was also going to suggest you get your hemoglobin checked as it may take more work to get it back up post chemo/rads with your vegetarian/gluten free diet.
Edi - hope Johnny Cash is a thing of the past and you are able to go to wedding and enjoy it
Traii - good to hear from you again, hope that DS gets better quickly
Movie - hope you are regaining your energy and that DD will come to know a new 'normal' without the pain she has lived with prior to surgery
Liefie - sounds like you had a wonderful time in Vancouver and will be in better shape than ever in no time
Dakota - getting ready for back to school with the kids? Hard to believe. Glad healing it going well
Nihahi - I was in the chemo area late afternoon yesterday for my Herceptin. Should be getting easier but yesterday was hard for some reason, want to be so 'done' with all of this but still have to keep visiting them every three weeks. One person did ring the bell as they left, it did make me smile to know they were done that part. Can't wait for my last one on October 3rd. Hope you will have a restful weekend after your busy week of helping others
Morwenna - almost there with rads. I remember well the constant changes to the times. Take good care of that skin. Wellspring has their new fall brochure out, there looks to be some good programs starting out. I attended the Healthy Steps workshop a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the instructor and the movements - there is a weekly Healthy Steps workout that can be registered to for fall.
Everyone else, take good care and have a good weekend -
Nihahi, thanks for the uplifting picture - so very true! Yes, cats growl, and loudly too! Mine growl when they unexpectedly encounter another animal in their territory. Has the rain stopped yet? High River must be thoroughly fed-up with it by now. How are you going to pass the time when this volunteering comes to an end, you busy bee?
Dakota, any viable prospects among your patients yet?
Edi, are you going to the wedding?
Movie, sorry about your dog. It is so hard when our furfriends get older, and their health begins to deteriorate. Not what you need now! You will quickly get back to our old self in the gym - it's always a bit harder when you've been away for some time. I'm always telling myself there's no rush; I've got the rest of my life to do this. If I do less one day than the next, that's okay. As long as I do some exercise, I will be fine.
Benny, we have quite the bunny plague here this year - the cougars are so lazy! They eat everything, and DH now has a borrowed bunny trap out in the garden. So far the bait carrots get eaten, but no bunnies have been caught yet. I'm secretly relieved, because we have a friend who loves to make bunny pie (grrrrrrr!), and that will be the fate of any that get caught. If I see a bunny in the garden, I just chase it away, hoping it won't come back . . . lol. The deer have now eaten our rose garden to the point where we are considering just taking out all the rose bushes. They have stripped off all the leaves too, and it looks terrible. It is a fight you just cannot win.
Websister, good to hear from you, and that you are doing well. I thought your Herceptin ended in August, but you will actually end on October 3rd - two more months, sister, and it's over!
Quiet long weekend here, and we're looking forward to just relax and recharge, potter around the garden, barbecue, read (me, not DH who cannot sit still long enough for that), swim etc. Weather warm, so ideal for being outside - yay! Just spent an hour on the phone with oldest DH, the heavy one. He has bought himself a set of golf clubs this morning, and will be playing with people from his office starting this afternoon, and then a few times a week. He says he will not rent a cart, will walk the course, and will drink only water at the 19th hole - lol. I am cautiously optimistic.
-
Movie......I sent you an email....ALL SYSTEMS GO....RESERVATIONS MADE.....MY FRIEND AND I ARE COMING TO MEET UP WITH YOU IN GLACIER PARK!!!!!! How many boxes of Timtams do you want us to bring????? WOOHOO!!!!!
Websister...we left Tom Baker yesterday around 3pm....did we cross paths???? Walking down that "chemo hallway" was a toughie for me, but turned out to be an important "step". An "ah ha" moment if you will. As I sat there with her, I was aware of not just the "patients", but for the first time, really "saw" the people accompanying them. Made me realize what it must have been like for hubby, as he was there for me at every single session, and of course, for the dreaded se's that followed. I came home and told him I owed him a huge thankyou from 22 years before, for being there, helping me through it, never complaining, never asking more of me than I could do......! He turns 65 tomorrow....the day will be all about him!!!!!
Started the day in rain...ended the day in rain.....don't know how you Brits and West Coasters stay sane!
Edi...hope you're feeling better and able to enjoy the wedding festivities!
Liefie....hoping things stay moving forward for your son....take some credit....sounds like you might have planted a positive outlook in him! You sound so happy to be back at it, fitness wise.
Dakota...another crazy weekend, no doubt!
Liefie, Benny....have a fun night with the "wild critters"!!!! Can't wait to hear of tonights adventures!
-
Nihahi - I arrived at TBCC about 3 p.m., so yes, we may just have crossed paths. I went to the pharmacy first to pick up 5 more months worth of Tamoxifen and then stopped in at the library for a few minutes before going to the chemo area. Wishing your DH a very Happy 65th Birthday tomorrow, sounds like he deserves to be spoiled - so glad he was there for you. Sounds a lot like my DH - we are very fortunate.
I was trying to put a positive slant on the rain by thinking I didn't have to worry about watering for the past few days but then they mentioned a tornado warning on the news tonight and that is not what this area needs right now.
Liefie - I agree re: your DS - sounds like he is feeling better and making some positive changes since his visit with you. Your weekend with DH sounds lovely.
I am having a quiet weekend at home by myself. My DH and youngest DS have joined my oldest DS and family in northern Washington and I am trying not to feel sorry for myself. I am missing them, may have to try to get in some time with my newest GD tomorrow to help with that. Work has been good, not too demanding but feeling like I am contributing and haven't forgotten too much.
Goodnight everyone
-
Nihahi, happy, happy birthday to your DH tomorrow! He sounds like a wonderful guy, so spoil him properly. I just cannot imagine what it must be like not to have the love and support of your partner when you have to face an ordeal like bc, and we should count our lucky stars. You and Movie must have a great time together - wish I could be there too. Maybe one day. Just make sure Movie don't eat the Timtams all at once, okay? LOL. Wanna see photos please!
Websister, hope that tornado does not materialize anywhere in Alberta. Time with the little one will surely make up for missing the others - so precious. I've been looking at easy patterns for baby blankets on the Internet, and I am going to try my hand at that. Will buy some pretty fabric, and go for it. It seems easy enough. Got two young friends here who are pregnant, and a handmade gift is always appreciated. Of course I will make some for DD too. Will practise on my friends first - lol. If the blanket is a success, I might try a diaper bag . . . getting ahead of myself here.
-
I hear you mention Wilbur's Creek, Nihahi and movie, I will be there with you in spirt. You have to post pics after.BOO! From the DIEP thread. Hi everyone!
-
Morning gals.....AND Tammy!!!!! Hi There!!!!!
No worries....there will be many, many photos taken and posted!!!!!!
Tammy, the ladies here go beyond the bc topic and are a real hoot! Hope you stick around!
Websister...Didn't hear of any funnels touching down last night, but lordy.....we sat in our livingroom watching one form last night!!!! Long, ropey and scarey, thankfully we also saw it dissapate. Probably over towards the Millarville area....what the h**l has southern Alberta done to tick off Mother Nature like this!!!!! Porcupine under the deck, what fun!!!!
At least it is a sunny day for hubby's birthday! He and I are doing breakfast together, then later on a family mini-golf tournament, then family dinner at the Keg in Calgary. A whole day of eating (god, I'll never be able to keep up with Movie on the trail)!
Edi....you're quiet, so hopefully you are strolling the grounds of the castle at the wedding! Enjoy!!!!
Liefie....I wish you were coming too! I defo can predict some rendezvous in the future for us...one of us has GOT to win a lottery....problem solved!!
Love ya ladies. Have great days!
-
Sorry for crashing the party here, ladies. I know and followed a few of you, movie, nihahi, and liefie, from the DIEP thread to here. I have a lot to catch before I get to know you all, so far I've found all your postings very interesting read. I usually read more than I do posting. Tammy
-
Hi ladies,
I've been laying low still having some intestinal issues, but much much better. Had a great report 6 weeks ago with my oncologist blood work perfect.. Then yesterday went in for my visit and my tumor marker rose WTH??? It was great 6 weeks ago. It went from 25 to 52. Yes I'm panicked. He other things can cause it to rise other than cancer. I'm only 3 months post chemo! He wanted to re-do the blood work in two weeks and if it didn't go down he would schedule a pet scan.. Mike spoke up and said no! We want the pet scan done. I'm trying not to worry but I'm a basket case... This seems crazy to me.. So reconstruction has been put on hold. It was scheduled for Aug 9th.
Thank you for letting me vent. Love you all.
Carla
-
Awwww, Carla, so sorry to hear this, and that recon as been put on hold. It was just eight days away - one wants this drama to be over and done with, and does not need another curveball! Good for you on getting the pet scan. The sooner you know what's going on IF something is going on indeed, the sooner they can get on it. I pray that it is nothing serious. You can vent here all you like - that's what we're here for! Big hugs to you!
Tammy T, welcome here! We were brought together on this thread started by Benny last year, and it has morphed into this group of amazing women who discuss/analyze lots of different things, sometimes even bc - LOL.
Edi, hope you could attend the wedding, and that you had an absolute ball there. Can just see you standing there in front of that old castle, dressed to the nines in a soft, flowy dress, balancing on those high heels, crystal flute filled with champagne in one hand, delicately nibbling on a gourmet canape, making polite conversation with the other well-heeled guests . . . lol.
Nihahi, all those meals you're having today I prefer to see as fuel for your hike - what different perceptions we have - LOL! Enjoy all the b-day celebrations, and one of these days I will fly to Calgary when Westjet has a seat sale, and visit my kids as well as all of you there.
Now have to be off to the church for organ practise - have not played in some time, and have to do the honours tomorrow. Have a good weekend, everybody!
-
Nihahi - I like Liefie's philosophy re: your meals - you are fueling up.
Today was a nice day, no rain, no funnel clouds
Liefie - you described Edi beautifully - saw a picture of her at wedding on Facebook and you got it to a T
Dakota - your children are beautiful!
Tammy T - welcome here! I have 'lurked' on the DIEP thread a little in anticipation of eventually have my own reconstruction
Carlads - glad the intestinal issues seem to be resolving, sorry to hear that your reconstruction is being postponed, hope you can get the PET scan quickly and hopefully relieve your mind. Let us know the date so we can be in your pockets
Benny - Diamond looked pretty enough to be in a wedding after your grooming session today! -
Wow girls, can you talk!!
I think Ive caught up on most!
Tammy welcome to this crazy thread!
Carla, sorry to hear what you are going through. Fingers and everything crossed those TMs are just playing with you and nothing going on.
I didnt know you were scheduled for reconstruction....good on you. I know you will be rescheduling once these scans come back all clear.
Liefie, yeh, you back on the organ for church. Good luck. Wish we could hear you play!
Nihahi hope you had a great day for DHs birthday. At least sun was shining.
Websister hope u enjoying your time alone this weekend, bet your house is just too quiet!
Well as for me, I have some fluid like stuff coming out under incision line of one side. My bs nurse said its just fluid coming out from 'somewhere' now the drainwas out. I dont like the look of it im still on antibiotics but hope nothing bad!! My next apt is finally with my ps but thats not until Friday so might call for this to be cleaned before then!
Enjoy your weekend all.
Hugs to you on this sunny Sunday morning here xx -
Oh Carla, that sucks. So sorry to read you've had a wrench thrown into your plans like this. It can't possibly be cancer? You just finished chemo! He must suspect it's something else but is doing the right thing by getting the PET scan done. Good, you need peace of mind. I admit I don't know what tumor markers are?
Liefie, I saw a pic of Edi from the wedding..... she looked marvellous! I didn't see Johnny Cash in the picture so I'm assuming she's ditched him. Re the bunnies...... bunnie pie? Sorry, but that sounds like something from The Beverly Hillbillies! Can you sneak out and release them if any get caught?
I am averaging 2.5 to 3 hours of sleep a night and am getting a bit delerious. Will inquire about the klonopin, Websister. Thanks for the tip.
(below) Diamond and I having a discussion about our plans for the next hour. I wanted to ride, she wanted to eat grass and go back to her pasture.
The face I love........
-
Gorgeous pics Benny
looks like u have ditched the wig too -
The wig is just too hot right now, Traii. If I have to go back to work in September (I'm buying lots of lottery tickets) I'll probably wear it then. My hair is about 3 inches long but you can't tell because it's a mass of curls. Ugly curls, not cute curls.
How is DS? Did his ear infection go away?
-
Lol Benny. My hairs curly, i manage to get some type of style...just! Adding colour for me was a must! Im sure you have cute curls...just not what we are use to!
DS has finallyy started to come good thanks for asking and back to his cheeky self which is much better that way!! -
Hi, I have not long ago been diagnosed with a 2cm breast cancer. The only reason it even came to light was that a cyst started to fill up with a lot of fluid and became very tight and sore, so had a mammogram and ultrasound and the cancer was also found. Had a biopsy. Was in a complete daze as I went on to the breast oncologist and had a further biopsy with surgery and radiotherapy and possibly chemo being discussed. Of course surgery first. I am thinking about this all the time and becoming extremely anxious as surgery draws closer. I would like to find out what sort of cancer it is as I dont know as yet. As we run a dairy am constantly thinking how this is going to impact on us.
-
Bianca, sorry you are having to deal with this. Your story of fluid and swelling is exactly how I started out. Even tho' it's all very scary right now once you start working with your oncologist and surgeon and have a plan of attack, you will start to feel a bit more in control. It's hard right now because you have more questions than answers. The surgery will answer a lot of your questions and then you can start to move forward on treating it. I'd suggest staying close with us on the forum and ask all the questions you want.... we will try to answer them and support you through this. When is your surgery date?
-
Bianca sorry you have to be here but glad you found us.
When is surgery scheduled for?
I just had mine one month ago tomorrow. -
Bianca, welcome here! The beginning of this ordeal is the scariest part, believe me. There is shock, disbelief, fear, sadness, confusion, uncertainty - a real nasty cocktail of emotions. Surgery must sound scary too at this stage, but you want that cancer gone as soon as possible. As soon as there is a treatment plan in place, you will begin to feel more in charge of the situation. As for the dairy, some people are able to work during treatment, and some are not. Just breathe slowly, be kind to yourself, and try to stay busy. We have all been where you are now, and one does get through it somehow. Big hugs to you, and let us know how you are doing!
Traii, our church has been without a pastor for a year now, and the new one starts tomorrow, so have to put my best foot forward - lol - hands too in this case. He actually moved here from Calgary. I guess they are looking for a pastor now - lol. Glad your DS is back to his old cute self, and hope you will be okay with that 'weeping' incision. Maybe if you do a little less the output will be less too? Easier said than done with that busy little boy, eh?
Benny that horse is so beautiful! Hillbillies you say? LOLOLOL! I tend to agree, and will secretly release the bunnies. So far none have ventured into the trap. They are cleverer than we think. Maybe I should just sprinkle some pepper around the trap to deter them.
We are still wide awake at 12. DH is making sausage (!!!!), but I'm going to leave him now and go to bed. Good night, ladies! Sweet dreams to you all!
-
Hi gorgeous girls,Johny Cash gave up but not before visit from paramedics after my last post.
Didn't eat and blood sugar went too low
didn't take my insulin so thought it would be ok.
Of course that was a mistake. Left for wedding the next day mid afternoon after Immodium, still nervous wreck as was almost 3 hour journey to our Bed and breakfast. Made it ok, phew !!
Next day journey to wedding was a further hour.!
Ceremony was lovely.
Another hour back to Castle, traffic jams all the way. Champagne and canapes when we arrived. Loads of photos in the grounds then lovely meal.
Only just arrived home and never want to go far EVER again.
Couldn't post until now as no signal. ED put up some pics on face book, thanks for kind comments girls.
Will catch up properly tomorrow after much needed sleep.
Love to you all xxxx -
I was diagnosed almost a month ago with triple negative breast cancer, the most aggressive kind. My cancer was found with a mammogram but had already broken out of the duict and started invading the surrounding breast tissue. There is no known medication to take for 5 years to help keep this kind of cancer from metastesizing in the liver, lungs, brain. I, too, cried and was in shock for about a week, then I began to pray and had other to pray in their churches. I received a peace on morning when I woke up. It was as if someone had taken this all away. I had surgery, a lumpectomy, and now I'm waiting until the 14th to begin radiation. I go the 9th of August to talk to a doctor at Indiana University Simon Cancer Center to be enrolled in a triple negative clinical study. Possibly, the experimental drugs just might have some effect. I am like you, a very healthy 68 year old, who has always exercised and eaten what I thought was a balanced diet. I was astonished when I was told that I had breast cancer. God bless you through this and may you find peace somewhere along the way.
