    My week is not going well.  Yesterday, while in the shower, I felt a sore lump toward the back of my left underarm.  First thing I thought is now I am going to lose my left breast, too -- I am not even finished with the reconstruction of the right breast,yet.   So, I went to my family practicioner the same day.  She said the lump is too far back to be in the lymph node.  She measured it and gave me an ointment that I am to apply.  She said to give it a couple days to see if it goes away.  Well I see my oncologist next week--I sure will let him know.   Pretty down tonight--summer is almost over and I start back teaching in two weeks--I hope.   Just down--tired of being a cancer patient--just tired of everything.  I know there are others on this site that have it much  worse than I do--I apologize if i sound like a wimp- but all I can do is live my life. Sometimes my life sucks!

    dwillinthedumps,

    You don't sound wimpy to me.  No matter how "simple" or "complex" the cancer diagnosis is, at some point and sometimes frequently, it just sucks.  I hope the ointment helps your lump.  

    You know you are welcome here to unload.  We won't judge, just support.

    Was it this weekend you were meeting with your guy or next?

    Shea-Lynn,is Irish..........just a name my grandaughter liked.



    Grayson has use of all limbs very bright......she is doing very well..physical therapy 3 days a week for the past 11/2 years....aqua therapy is also done......everything is good, but she can't and alone........he had a severely weakened "core muscles" in her thorax area...he also has problems sitting up, but has made tremendous progress. Just so sad, cause this did not have to happen....

    Next time you are here, Mary, we need to have a huuliegirl get-together.

    I just love hearing from you Duckie. Grayson sounds like she is very loved by her family, especially her grandmother. It's good to hear that she is so bright and can use all four extremities. Little ones have such a tremendous capacity to grow and develop.  I'm praying that she knocks everyone's socks off with her progress. 

    If you hear me quacking like a Ducky tomorrow its because Flossie is expected to drench our area with a foot of rain. We live in one of the wettest, if not the wettest part of Oahu, actually have a major stream going through the bottom of our property, so we will likely fall asleep tomorrow night to the sound of roaring water (We love it - the roaring stream, not the heavy rain).

    Dwills and Mary - it's only natural to feel worry & distress at the appearance of those  D$%MN lumps after what you  both are going through, but it sounds like both of your docs are on it, and they aren't too worried. Thinking of both of you.  

    Chevette - a platitude is a shallow or insipid statement that someone makes when they should STFU.

    Dwill I am right there with you I am sick of being a cancer pt!!! My whole world has been flipped up side down. I am sorry I wish I could take this awful disease away from us all. Please vent, cry, scream, laugh, or whatever you need to do we are here. I love you holligans you mean the world to me xoxo



    I wanted to thank everyone for your ideas and suggestions. I know it will all work out. I am going to read them a couple of times to help myself out. I guess I am just reacting to them not being willing to help. My mil and pil are so active skiing/biking/yoga you name it they do it in perfect health. They have been so lucky to have never had anything happen to them. My mom is a RN and still works full time and my dad is a pharmacist in the OR. Any time I have a situation my mom always steps in and try's to help or helps me brainstorm ideas. I mean if anyone would be to tired or exhausted would be my mom. But no she said she could help without question. I just feel bad asking anyone. I mean what would happen if I wasn't here would it just be a bother to my mil and fil. I agree I am going to let Tim handle this one. I Definitely do not want to get involved and forever resentful or angry.



    Healing hugs and prayers,

    Sweet Pea

    Good Morning Hollies---

    Chick, chick ChickaD---U posted Hoollies on another post being silly hahaha---I dod't think it was for them hahaha

    I just vegged yesterday.

    Dwill don't EVER apologize for how u feel and expressing it--that why we're here==we all get sick and tired of Drs and the fun stuff they find and what to do. We are u'r cheerleaders, even thos most of our bones would craxk if we could jump up and cheer but verbally we can. So we're here. And on a better note what's going on with a date with this new man?? We want to know.

    Sweet pea like we said just let u'r DH handle it so u'r not involved and believe me someway this will work out, u'll see. I'm a worry about it tomorrow type of person aand I drive everyone nuts but things aren't going to change in one day usually so when u figure everything out and u will, u'll have less stress.

    I'm going out to dinner tonite with my GFs tonite, I kind of don't feel like it, but I'm going.

    I've got lots of Dr. work to do this week--as u all know--to get my misplaced organs back where they are supposed to be, such a silly thing to organize but I have a grip on it so I'm forging ahead with gusto and  gusta, (2 Spanish friends of mine)  Shut up Chevy. Anyway I'll keep u up on details as they come in LOL

    I just love you gals! 

    Dwilliinthedumps.....  (that was funny Juliaanna!!!..)  Little honey, don't ever apologize for saying anything here!  If you found something, that IS important!  Oh just wait until you get older!  I find "things" all over me all the time!  My Doctor calls them Barnacles!  Because she had a Sailor patient.... shut up Cammi.... that told her that's what those things are.

    Mine don't hurt.... so I'm glad you went in.   We'll be here when you find out.... okay?

    She's the same Doc that told me to treat my plugged ears like allergies..... and take Claritin, do the rinses, and wait a month.   I knew it wasn't THAT, but I did it anyway....  Found out it was permanent nerve damage in my ears....  But hearing aids help me out! 

    So there's always an answer.... usually everything can be "fixed"....  Saying a prayer for you!

    I'll be back later..... xoxoxoxo

    30-40 miles away - its south of us.  We do get their smoke up on our mountain though - air is thick.. 

    Mary I'm praying that things are ok and I'm in your pocket.

    Back to the old grind today - working at 4am on computer until 1pm.. No grandchildren around... hubby sleeping.. feeling very alone at the moment.

    Gma - south of you is not good, considering the prevailing winds.  Be ready to get out of there quickly if need be.

    Mary - thinking of you today - it'll be an infection...  infection... infection

    Shell - we're going to be on Oahu in November Smile it'll be our post-retirement hurray trip.  not to mention visiting our son and his family.

    Stopping in to say hi....dwill, everyone has said it just fine.  Something about cancer and the sheer number of things ( tests, txs, meds, ) you must take make it some thing of the pits even when things seem to go in a somewhat rationale fashion.  Better to "feel" what you do, get it out in the real world, and once you can freely admit it is there.....you can work with it.  It is a 'downer' disease....hard to stay up-beat, but life can reach a fair state of normalcy again.  Just can be a bit of a rough climb to get there.  If you sense some one behind you pushing you up, its me.

    Good afternoon hooligans ;)

    Made it through my first radiation treatment it was very easy no pain nothing but of course my thoughts got the best of me. I held it together but had tears streaming down. Well here goes even if risk vs benefit is the same. At lease DH and Austin will know I did everything I could to fight this.



    GMA please let us know what is happening. Those fires are close be careful of your lungs.



    Thank you for all of your help. Just putting it in Gods hands. Just wish they were more verbally supportive. But I can not change people and just bc I would handle things completely different I can't expect them too. It just makes me sad to see DH sad and disappointed. They are pushing Tim away :(



    Mary hope everything is okay...

    Blondie have they done any PET scans recently? Or looked at the lungs closely any pulmonary hypertension? Did the O2 company give you a pulse ox?



    Love u ladies xoxo

    OMG Fire, disease, not breathing, discontent---this sounds like the Bible

    That fire is way to close Gmawatchout. I didn't know Oregon had fires, it's like nalways raining and talk about raining Ducky what going on there? This is all wrong for July

    Well Mary u have some good news, so I'm glad about that.

    Sweet Pee see the rads really are easy to take so relax a little more, but I hope u get things figured out, that's for sure.

    Well I'm supposed to see my surgeon Wed. I called my old one up from Elmhurst hispital and had my surgery records stuff faxed over there--so now we'll see what's next. I got all of that accomplished today- whew

    SweetPea..... Little honey, please don't let this all get you down!  Thinking about all that has happened or could happen will drive you nuts!  It's okay to cry..... and it's okay to go scream and yell, but don't do it around anybody....Wink  THEN you will have to spend time with Phyllibracelet in the pokey!

    We are WITH you, and some of these gals have gone through just the same as you..... So don't let your DH see you cry, or your little Austin!  YOU can be the strong one now.  They will see you giving up, and you just can't do that..... not now! 

    I mean even Veggy has those feelings..... but we keep holding on to her collar, and not letting her fall!    And Cammi..... Well I don't know what she is doing..... she is looking to fix something or other....and we are there for her too!

    Just relax for now.... Radiation is not as bad as you probably thought..... but soon you will be Soooooooo tired, you will fall over while you are walking!  So don't walk.  Don't even stand!  Just lay somewhere, and rest all you can!  Wink  Love you guys..... xoxoxoxo

    Hey cuckhoolies!!

    Get a load of these papayas - we can barely stay ahead of the harvest - this is one day's pickings - it's like zuchinies on the mainland - all of our neighbors have surprise papayas on their porches. The bananas, avocados and pineapples are not going as nuts - thought we should pick everything and pass it out before the storm.

    I put a measuring cup in the picture for sizing. This is not a fishing story - honest!
