Hi Guys

Nettie back fom AWAL.

Been hellish tired, but chemo is over, at least for now! The s/e - sore mouth - I had that a LOT of the time, sore feet and shins, bone pain from the jabs the awful "end problems" - need I say more (?) are diminishing but the FECing fatigue is getting worse, so much that I am struggling to say awake ALL the time. No one can give me an idea of how long I can expect this to last, but I have so much to do, financewise etc that it is putting a real dampner on my life, and my social life - I'm Nettie Van Winkle!!!  Having a snooze in the corner while a band is playing (that was last night, before they work me up, took me home and tucked me up!!)

Well, I am seeing my Breast Consultant in the morning at 10.30 so if you could spare a prayer for me from across the pond ... Will find out if it's to be a mast or lump. They will do total lymph node removal, thats for definite as is my HER 2 pos status, so I will be on Herceptrin for 18 courses (all day - for a year) def rads too, think about 6 weeks daily as the bootface invaded my wee lymph glands. Might also need more chemo once they have looked at the tumour.

That is what I definitly know thus far, will know more tomorrow about timings. The surgery hold no fear, I have had great pain in my skeleton through injurry, ruptures disc , scititica (Mel, sweetie, back pain in uber commanding. You have my deepest sympathies. Mines was the vertebra at the very base of the spine, where al the nerves congregate. Sore, sore, sore, sore, sore!!!)

I went for Chiropracty, which help a lot. expensive, but witin 6 weeks of 2 sessions a week, I was 75% better! Still sore at times because back injuries heal so slowly as there is no blood or oxygen supply. Have you tried chiropracty, it doesn't work for all, but sure did for me. TENS machine to  helped when I was really bad, for  my shoulder too. They are now DIRT cheap. I like to take natural things as much as poss - I have enough poison going through me at the moment!!!

I was wonderful to see all of your pictures, I've said it before, you have such beautiful children  andit is wonderful to see you all, through the trauma and loooking great. It gives me such hope when you feel that everything that you are has been taken from you.

Nancy, so glad you dad is much better, Treasure the time you have with him!

Cathi, laughed like a drain at the pic of Margot giving you a tongue facial, you look like so much fun. How is Margot? Still stealing the show? I was gutted to see that Jacklyn is havign to go through all of this. Al the reassuances that Cervical cancer is usually ralatively minor to no avail. But if she has the spirit of her mum, and the humour, she will come shining through.

Sweet Sue - hello, hello, hello!! I know the weather has been shite in Scotland too, and I'm feeling the cold at the moment. My poor wee garden plants are dying that I grew from seed in the horrible months post DX.

I    am loving American Idol, the final 3 were awesome, but wee Chris is so beautiful I just want to stare at him. Think Adam's got to win though. Alison was great. Janis Joplin is one of my all time heros and "Cry Baby" was a filling homage.

Anyoldhow my dear brethern, my hoover and my fridge have both died today - covered by extended warranties so I  must get on and get them reported before the curtain of weariness decends!!!! Oh God, rains on and my duvet is on the rope.

Must dash

Hugs

Wow a busy weekend here, everyone chatting away.

Sue I agree maybe your meds need adjustment,   I know sometimes I need to get something, but I am too darn stubborn. My mom used to take Zoloft as Barbe mentioned it worked wonders for her as she was going through the renal failure and Liver CA.

Nettie glad to here from you again, yes Margo steals the show every chance she gets, I'll post a picture for you from this weekend.

 My granddaughter Alexcis was over we just had a blast,  we took 2 great bike rides, Saturday we spent most of the day at the beach, it was the first time I went in the water with the new suit, I was so nervous about getting wet and having the suit shift around, but all was perfect it stayed in place -YEAH , it actually clings tighter when wet. The water temp is now 84 degrees  - just perfect for us natives,  we hate cold water.  Alexcis is so proud of herself now because she rides with out the training wheels so it was our first ROAD TRIP.  She road a long way,  we of coarse had to stop for ice cream though.

Linda I don't know how to describe what I felt about the Farrah story (I didn't know about Ryan either or that her sister died from CA).  I wish as she said that her story WOULD MAKE A DIFFRENCE in CA research and treatments, but it won't.  I am not sure if admire is a good word, but for her to open up and share her journey with the world is something, I cried  a lot , and when she showed her bald head, all that hair she used to have WOW!!!!  The thing I felt so sad about for her was the stupid reporters, all well and good if your in the lime light and healthy - but for gosh sake the woman is dieing, LEAVE HER ALONE!!!  Anyway I though it was very moving and like I said never a real big fan, but I applaud her and appreciate & commend  her sharing such a terrible time in her life. And I hope and pray she finds peace.

Wishing everyone a WONDERFUL EVENING!!! XOXOXOXOX -Cathi
