Thinking Out Loud.....

Sam is delicous and cold.

Sandy congratulations.

Diane are youuuuuuuuuuuuu OK? ♥

Hey Linda.....are you having bad weather?

I came to peace with my weight.

If I'm not able to take care of myself then I will be

170pounds. Fat, chubby, DD size is too small etc etc...........

I think i need to get another Sam.

Oh i had some dessert when we went out last week. It was so good. I'm not sure of the name but rum, pineapple, cranberry juice with a coconut taste. Yummy.

Chris...I bought so much fruit today.

I love to eat fruit but I'm also eating other things so I'm eating healthy and unhealthy.

I have my GP in 2 weeks. We'll see how my cholesterol and everything else reacting to this. Probably he's gonna preach me LOL

Good Night.

HOT here and yes, I think the power grids are overwhelmed.  Too humid to do anything.  yucky.

You went for a run????????????  I can barely walk outside with out dying.  Enjoy the added weight and pink desserts, they will come off in due time.

Sam is good!

Sending out a search party for Diane.

My tummy issues are better but lost 3 pounds which I wish was 30.

Diane, I had a ductogram or whatever it is called when I was 23.  I thought I was going to pass out when the Dr. explained to me what they were going to do.  The good news is, it does not hurt!  Really.  The needle goes into your duct. I just did not want to watch.

Good luck, gets some rest and I hope the dang side effects from the A go away.  It took me about a year to really get my body adjusted to the Tamox.

I walked about a mile today. MH day. It's very hot but my body was actually felt good.

Christine picked me up we did some shopping.

Tonight we are having a gathering and goodbye party.

She is leaving Thursday.

(((♥DIANE♥)))  Did you try Femara before?

Shopping counts as walking too!  Hope you have a nice party!

Deb - I understood what you wrote!  Funny how we can figure out so many abbreviations and acronyms.  I almost missed bw, but figured it out.  Hope it's all perfect so you don't have to worry about it any more. (Also - before when I wrote ha ha - I was chuckling about the irony of how that's the only good thing about being sick - I didn't mean it to be a mean ha ha.  Saw my post and realized it could have been read in a mean way.  I really have to watch how I say things - it comes out wrong too often...)

Good night my friends! 

And I knew that too Chris!

((((((((Diane)))))))))

Had first chemo 2 yrs ago today.  Remembering how not-so-D-H asked if my father could take me to my chemo appts.  Fortunately, I was able to drive myself and was fine going alone, but it would have been nice if he had wanted to provide some emotional support - at least for the first one.   Where I went, they give you your own room to be in for the first one before they put you in a common room for the others.  Having a room to myself had its advantages, but you can have allergic reactions to taxotere.  The nurse did stay with me for a little bit after the taxotere started to make sure I was okay, but after she left, my throat was the tiniest bit itchy.  I wondered how I would get anyone's attention if it got worse.  What would I do, yell, "Help?"  I'm not the yelling help kind of person.  I probably would have just hoped a nurse would walk by.   It didn't get worse, but that would have been a time when having someone with me would have been helpful.  Luckily, I didn't start having full blown allergic reactions until the 2nd txt and it happened immediately so the nurse was able to stop it right away.  And I was in the common room, so one of the other people could have called for help for me.  Unless they were all asleep...  Eh, whatever.

Men suck.

It's funny, when I see my onc and she verifies my drug allergies, she lists docetaxel.  I don't think to list docetaxel as a drug I'm allergic to - figuring no one is going to be giving it to me again - at least not without my prior knowledge so I can tell them I'm allergic.  Funny.

Have fun tomorrow and good luck at the appointment!

It's ok that I was alone - I just wish my husband had wanted to provide emotional support. 

Will be thinking of you at your appt tomorrow, Meece.  Have fun shopping! 

Today was one of those - if you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes - kind of days.  Started off overcast, got a little hot and humid, the sun came out, then storms and rain came through, the breeze picked up, had a rainbow....Now it's cooling off, drying out, and there is some cool pinkish orangish coloration of the underside of some puffy cumulous clouds from the last rays of sunshine for the day. 

Well, he agrees that I should take a short break and then switch and he wants to try aromisin because femara is so similar to arimidex.  I don't yet know enough about aromisin but will read later.  The arthritis pain has been overwhelming, up all night, moaning and groaning and that is with plenty of advil and ambien.I am hoping that this week off will be very helpful.  I have decided there is a missing link in cancer care.  For example, when I started having really dry skin and spontaneous skin bleeds, the female dermatologist wasn't familiar with the effects of an aromitase inhibitor.  When the wrist and finger pain increased, the orthopedic specialist stated the same.  So who is in charge of all that?  Me, and my medical degree from google....

This was the first time since diagnosis that a tumor marker was done on me and I was fine.  My Vit D was at 76, also great.  I have to do the ductogram in a week or so.  This week is one year since diagnosis.  Just proves it really is never far from our minds or lives....

 Chris - I would have gone with you if I could.  DH may have been just afraid.

Meece - good luck tomorrow!

Blondie - how are you doing?

Sheila - are you having some dessert?  I am!!!

Deb - hope your tumor marker test is good as well.

Linda - 23??? Tthat was so young!
