Anyone starting chemo in June 08

Hello Ladies;

The Dr .called me about my U/S results the cyst is still there but they said that its normal , no follow-up needed , they said not to worry, next week i have to go to the Hospital in the Out-Patient area to get my port out , please pray all goes well because it did not go in as smooth as they told me it would last year!!!!  take care have a good week!!!!!!!!

    HD-  I hope you are sleeping better   , and the rest of you girls too!!!!!!!                                                                             

Hey, good news on the U/S liz19.  Load off your mind!  You will be so glad to say goodbye to the port too.  Wyoming....with regard to these jokes permeating our board...I think we could all use a family day.  I think Kelle is on a real vacation if I remember right.  Bet she is having a good time.  Anybodys hair curly?  Mine isn't so far.  Rover...thoughts are with ya girl.  It's LOST TV night for me so I need to think about dinner...or maybe I will not worry about it.  To all my June Bugs...Take care...HunkyD

Great news on good test/scan results.   I will have my port in until at least August, but I am happy for those getting it out and speedy healing after.    Tomorrow is my Herceptin treatment and the snow should not be coming this way -- yet.   Hope everyone has a good rest of the week and week end.  HUGS,  Nancy

Hey Junies........I finally got some good news........I got my drain out this afternoon......and PS was so happy with how I was healing......that she went ahead and booked me for surgery on March 2nd to reinsert the new tissue expander......she will fill it at the time to match the other side.......and she doesn't even think I will require a drain.........this is exactly what I was hoping was going to happen today......but with the luck I have been having lately.......I thought for sure there would be some kinda bad news or complication........turns out I will be caught up and making progress again in no time.

Just had to share my good news........DH and I are staying in the city tonight and going to a Toronto Maple Leaf Game.....almost feels like a little celebration........on the hair front.......mine's not curly.......but definately has some body......I was very curly precancer.....so we'll see........I'm getting the itch to do some more funky colouring.......maybe some blue or purple this time......will post some pics when I do change it up......

Cheers to all.......I think of you all daily.......and hope that everyone gets some good news soon.

Have a great time in Mexico Karen.  Soak up some sun and warm for me please.  You definately deserve a trip.  I wish I was there now.  Instead, I am sitting here in my sweats.  As far as being tough and going to work, I have to for insurance so I have no choice.  Thanks for making me seem tenacious anyway.  Speaking of work...Wyoming..aren't three day weekends nice?  Sounds like you had a great day yesterday.  Speaking of new vehicles...DH bought a brand new Toyota Tundra right before my diagnosis.  Oh well, just another payment.  Lets see some more funky hair colors!!!!   Well, might go for a ride today.  Should be cleaning house...cleaning service is sounding better and better!  Later to all you gals!  HunkyD

Karen we went to the Maya Riviera also. It was a all inclusive adult only. I love kids but sometimes it nice to get away from them. Drink a fun drink for me. If you find the info about cleaning service let us know. As I said earlier I hate to clean house. It is one of those necessary evils.

I'm going to the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" this afternoon. We usually don't get Oscar nominated movies before the awards so I'm taking advantage today.

I tried some capsain for my joints but it burned too much so I wil try something else less hot!!!! Had to wash it off after about 5-10 minutes. I usually don't react like that.

Have a good Sunday.

I'm watching the Oscars but check here during a commercial. I like "Slumdog Millionaire" a lot. Rover I agree it may not do much for India's tourism. It is hard to imagine living in a place like in India's slums.

Karen thanks for the info I will look into it.

Jax, my niece is a hairdresser so I might ask her to do my hair.

Oscars are back on, take to you later.

Rover, I hope you didn't take offense to my poor humor about the drug run.  I actually read a little about the Da-satin?  drug.  I seriously hope it works and doesn't cause you any bad side effects.  Sounds like you will be watching your white counts with it though.  I read it is an oral med too so that is good.  This stage 3 girl is praying for lots of new and successful drugs.  I still have a terrible attitude and icky feeling about this sh!tty disease.  Anyway...my prayers are with you through your trt.  HunkyD 

Hugs for everyone.  I just realized when I looked at the date on my calendar, next Tuesday will be 10 months since I got my diagnosis.   I knew this was going to be a long process, but I am tired of it.   If not a treatment or Dr appointment, I am too pooped to do much of anything else.   

Rover, I was told if you turn undies inside out you get an extra day's wear  ...... lolol !!!!   I too have a weird sense of humor and do not mean to offend.   When at Target the other day, I got a package of 6 "white granny panties" to have on hand if the laundry gets out of hand.    Going commando is not all that bad, depends on where you are going and for how long.  Send some of that zip my way, Rover, I need it.   

I have been in this apartment almost 3 years and the carpet needs to be shampooed.  I will not do it myself, but getting ready for the carpet cleaners will be a major chore, once I make the appointment.   Of course the places that aren't dirty are where I have things piled, so maybe just have them do the "traffic areas".  

Once the days get longer, I know I feel a lot better.  Light deprivation or a combo of it and cold weather - who knows.  My laundry is caught up -- clean and folded, but not put away ... yet !!

Have a good one,   Nancy
