    Shell......I feel people who want to be here will, and those who choose to leave, can do that too......

    I always enjoyed this thread, and will say again..... there is nothing wrong with being on more then one thread here......I play a lot of games, but that doesn't mean everyone has too......each of us have our own opinions about our BC..........we don't all have to agree, how boring would that be..........however.....

    We can agree to disagree without getting our knickers in a knot, and go on enjoying the company of each other.........are we not all adults.............

    I am happy to see a few of the ladies back............and glad for the ones who stayed..........as for me.............. I'm lonely

    My grandson called me last night to tell me Snickers threw up 4 times, and peed on the floor once......he said....."Nan, I think she misses you....your company , your fluffy Afghan, and your loving ways..........made me feel good, although I'm sure she is just picked up a little bug..........however, can't explain the peeing in the house........my daughter things its revenge...............lol

    Told him........well if  your ready to give her her walking papers, give her my address....lol..

    Hugs ladies.....and big prayers for Mary.............

    Thought this was an interesting read so sharing it.

    I agree Ducky. People can post on other threads and here too...it is not like you are "cheating" on STFU>>lol

    Has Mary checked in? I am praying very hard for her.

    Tomorrow is my Mother-in-law's memorial service in FL at the funeral home. In the spring, my FIL will bring her ashes home and bury her here in CT where she lived the longest (35 years) although she was born and grew up in ME.

    Hope you all have a great day. Back to work! My 10:00am appointment just arrived and they are buzzing me!

    Mary - Praying that onco has new strategies. How did the Duke thing come out? Love you bunches. Hope you're getting to snuggle with Jordan.

    Hope all are staying warm. Sounds like our deep freeze is ending. On to warmer/rainier.

    April - hugs in this time of sadness.

    Ducky - maybe you were more consistent with letting furbaby go potty. When my dog comes back from boarding (only 4 nights at most) I take her out often and praise her extravagantly. But then again maybe furbaby IS trying to tell them something.

    Mary....we are ALL thinking of you, worried for you, and hoping those Drs. are doing all they can to slow those nasty buggers in there tracks..

    Shells, loved your pictures..is that you on the bottom, stretching ? Happy that DH is able to get healthy..

    Alyson, Having DH pick something up is a fantastic plan for those days..my DH has been good about that in the last 6 months..

    Ducky, wished we could all go with you to find that perfect companion...You know we would not let you came home without the perfect little furball. Or maybe a mid sized character...

    Mary, I am praying for you!!!! In your pocket all the time.. 

    VENT: I just want to come on here, just one time, and say I feel Great!  Unfortunately not today,  My PCP helped me get through the worst of the withdrawal... But the nerve pain is back full force and My "uniqueness" has finally Baffled her and she told me to go back to my pain management doc.  You know the one that Hasn't Called me back since Dec. 5th... I told her thanks for helping this far and I would call this doc back, but have no confidence that he is going to answer.  Well, I made that call and told them what I just told you..  Plus, I have LE and when I am in pain, that part swells.  I need to figure out what to change to.  She asked is there anything you would want back on?  I have no clue!  Just don't want the gabapentin back.  Told her what I am still taking that isn't working.

    Guess what the response was?????

    STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!^%*%&%&%&)^&(*$*^%%*(&

    "He is doing injections this morning, I will call you this afternoon after I talk to him." I said that is what you said a month ago. She said it wasn't her but she would look into it. Any bets on whether I get a call back??? 

    You did say I could vent any time right???

    GMA.....venting welcome.......I surely do enough myself....lol

    Damn, I wish you could find someone who could take care of you the right way......WTH......you are ready to start over, and your hitting a brick wall again.

    Please let us know how you make it.....I feel so bad.....just wish I could make a suggestion, but then again....not an MD, and I frown on unqualified people giving advice........hugs, and hope things turn out better  then before......

    Is there another Dr. at the PMC that you could see, or are they all in cahoots......worth a shot.......

    The pain doc I liked in that office left town.. And now this other doc is the only one in town.  If they don't call me back this afternoon, I'm going to ask my primary to refer me to someone else.

    Agree Gma that sounds like a very good plan and you have "ammo" to present to PCP. Did you get name of person you talked to today? Even if it is a drive to see a new doc could be worth it. Balance how often such a drive would be needed and if he/she does email consults. Do you go on HealthGrades and other ratings and check docs out? I do but more to get general feel. I looked up BS of a couple of friends and they got terrible grades but friends loved them.

    Mary, so good to hear from you..Everyone here is worried. Hope the new meds is just what you need to be comfortable & tackle the chemo ahead...

    Gma a couple of ladies suggested gabapentin to me as I am having minor neuropathy issues. My MO is not one to prescribe anything, I do not plan on asking for anything as I believe I can handle these symptoms. After you mentioning that drug, it really confirms that I need to not take anything. I will start Arimidex in mid Feb.. I do hope you find a new pain guy...good luck. I got the scratching throat right before Xmas, turned into a throat infection...arrrgg...better now..

    Yay Gma. Keep the name of the gal you talked to. I've said b4 there is one MA at PCP's I won't talk to. Snot. Hope the scratchy throat turns out to be nothing. DH stirred my coffee with his nasty spoon during his cold. Knock on wood I've not gotten it yet.

    Mary - I'll be praying for the new chemo and for your rads appt. Holding you close.

    Mary, we are all praying for u, this could be the one and since it's 2014--it's all new and good for u.

    GMA vent and  look it helped--for sure get this woman's name and deal with her. This might be the ticket for helping u--let us know what they give u.

    I think I can say this for everyone we all hate this effin disease--it never ends in some way or another, well some can just do all the treatment and recover well and it's wonderful to see that but so many it just hangs on in different forms-My cancer is at bay, but so much else goes on, it's such a family disease everyone is affected in one way or another and this disease is centuries old where the hell is the cure, It's not like a newer disease, geeze they had chemo in 1880 so it's nothing new, oh new chemos but same old disease. Praying together for all who have gone down this road.

    Nortriptyline and added more tylenol #3 - Will try it but the amitriptyline gave me issues.  He says that this one sometimes doesn't even though the other does.

    YAY...glad to see so many familiar faces again.....I feel better now!

    Chemo still sucks...had an ultra sound on my legs today as my legs and feet have been swelling a lot in the past 2 weeks, but nothing found....at least I dont think so as they let me go home....lol

    A little nervous about the PET scan on Thursday.

    Love you all...hugs and kisses!

    ps...John's eye still hurts a lot...he goes back next week to speak with next surgeon for plan.

    Chickie - in your pocket for your PET scan. Sounds like Thursday is a busy day on here. Hope your DH's eye gets on the fast track to better 'n better.

    Gma - hoping the nortriptyline is the ticket.
