Pat, I am so excited about your scan results! You bring us all hope. I will gladly join your new band if you adjust the name a little

Pat - I so happy to log in and find you in wonderful spirits and virtually cancer free. That is the funniest post about cancer I've read in a long while. You are well on your way to getting hit by a bus at 103 years of age. In your case it will be because you were fashioning the names of law firms from your scan reports in your mind ...

Yeah Pat. What great news! Hope all your scans are this awesome.

Pat~I logged in last night and had a few sentences down for you, then I don't know what happened to it. I just wanted to say how happy I am for your scan results. You are such a joy here on this thread and forum. Always such cheerful sweet words. You are obviously a wonderful woman and fellow MBC friend. May you have endless good results on your scans. You are a wonderful daily light here for us all, thank you. And so happy, high fives to Pat! Hugs ~M~

Cure-ious

Go, Pat!!! There's nothing like a great scan to cheer us all!! Now, just back away from the cooktop and the vaccuum cleaner, we're having none of that; Margarita Time!!

Hi all, please continue reporting those great scan results! They lift my spirits.

Lillymillie

fantastic news pat, you post made me laugh and smile and most of all filled me with hope!! Really pleased for you! I laughed about your eyebrow pain sorry🙈 Damn I was hoping the 3 second eyebrows would be a success but hey the scan results blow the sparse eyebrows out of the water!!

Hope everyone gets positive results moving forward x

Thanks, sweet friends, for your good wishes. I celebrated by walking 2 miles last night (to better my chances of getting hit by that bus, Z!). I have a new commitment to not letting the fatigue win.

I forgot to tell you that Dr. Smith and I agreed I could take an extra week off Ibrance in August so I'll feel well for that speech at the Komen luncheon. (You never want to have to lie down during a speech at a Survivor Luncheon...it so dampens the pink ribbon mood. ; > )) We also discussed me backing up to 75 mg in the future. I even wondered to myself about some day just breaking the 100 mg in half...just a thought. (I better not get cocky, huh?)

I continue to pray for all of you Ibrance sisters. We are bigger than this disease!

Pat, I'm so happy to hear your great news, just what I needed after a lousy day from lots of exhaustion. I've done too much in the past couple of weeks and I hit the wall today and it just makes me so mad. I HATE CANCER!!

I know I'll be better tomorrow after a good nights sleep but today was hard. Everyone keep the good news coming, we want lots more good scan news. Hooray for Pat!! She's starting a new trend of great scans!

Hugs and prayers for all,

Faith.

Congratulations Pat !  Best wishes for continued success !

Pat I love your sense of humor! I wish every post here could be like yours. If we make fun of MBC with such light-hearted comic relief it can make us smile for a while. But, I know you didn't get to this place without a battle royal. Hooray for your good scan results.

I'm feeling a sense of relief today. I had to go see the colorectal surgeon yesterday. Never been to one before, never want to go to one again. Do you know what they had me do? Put you knees on this stool and bend over on this exam table......WHAT?!? Yep, I had to assume the position and then they raised the table up so that my butt was up in the air! Not kidding! Then the exam......OMG. All that for my little complication from y90. The good news is that it is healing itself and I need no procedures or tests.

The relief comes from being finished with "procedures" and going back to only Ibrance and femara. My next scan isn't until July, so I don't have scanxiety yet. And the definitive results of y90's won't show until October. I feel like I can just breathe for a month or so. Of course the July scan will show how effective TX has been for lung and chest mets.

So, I plan to enjoy. Starting with watching the play Jungle Book starring my granddaughter.......no, she does not have the starring role. But, to me she's the star. 👧💖👏🐍🎶🌠

Grannax - OMG. That is one of those things you put out of your mind ... should be easy with a lovely granddaughter to keep your attention.

Grannax2....HORRIBLE!!!! So glad that's over and behind you (and yikes...shouldn't even us that word!!)!

Dianarose

Today is the last pill for cycle 3 and I am 110% exhausted. If I move any slower I will be in reverse. Hate feeling like this 😖

Called Prime care/Walgreens again to schedule my Ibrance. She said they got the new prescription on Monday and were still processing. Really, takes that long. Good thing I don't need them until next week. I need to find a different company to get my Ibrance from. It's always a hassle with these guys

bigbhome

Hi all, yesterday Ifelt so bad all day. Tired, headachey, chills(no fever) just awful stomach cramps. Today i found out why, my neutrophils and red blood count are the lowest they have ever been in 19 cycles. Who knows why. Not much better today except no stomach cramps, YAY! We are leaving Monday for a short vacay and I sure do hope I feel better by then.

Pat - so happy to see your great results and your great sense of humor! Gave me a good laugh! I agree with everyone else who said back away from the vacuum and the cooking and just revel in the awessome news!

Hope everyone else's scan go well this week

Hugs an d prayers

I was asked to do another research study. This one has to do with ads for or about breast cancer. I haven't seen the ads yet. Should be interesting plus I get paid

Lynnwood1960

Bigbhome, you just made my heart skip a beat with that news!

JoynerL

Bigbhome, what great news! I hope that we'll see that officially posted somewhere sometime soon!!

bigbhome

He said there is a big medical conference going on... I think in Michigan...and that was the topic yesterday.
