    Liesha, we all go through where you are at perhaps chatting here will help to get you to where you want to be.  It's better to let it out than keep it inside and what you share is always halved.  Welcome.

    Love n hugs.  Chrissy

    Have had a monster migraine, started just as church brgan. So pleased I had said I couldn't have GD as was really bad by the time I got home. Much better tonight but eye is sore and feeling very fuzzy.

    Hope you have a good day.

    {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Alyson }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Bad enough the rest of the crap we have to go through!!! Have you picked out your bathroom fixtures yet? Did you consider a higher toilet? Makes all the difference as you get older...you won't regret the extra $40 or so, I promise!

    Had CAT scan this AM and stopped by and got the bone scan report.....I still have it all over the place, but the dr who read it said No Significant Change.  That is good.  Maybe I am an alarmist, but I honestly was worried because that right shoulder has been hurting and then when the ortopedic doctor was showing me the mets in his xay, I thought Oh great!  The fact they aren't telling me the bone mets are going crazy means( didn't say stable, but at least they have not grown) I can call the orthopedic doctor and say Yes, I can do a cortisone shot in my shoulder.  So that is all I know for today.  Will be spending the rest of the afternoon with eye drs....the one who plucks my eyelashes out and is going to give me a RX for reading glasses and the one who did the cataracts.  I think I will take a neck pillow with me and sleep.

    Talk about having "more sense".....   The other night I got up to go potty and rammed my toe into a wooden step stool.   Of course I did not realize I broke the toe until I woke the next morning.   No sense in going to the er or doctors since all they do is tape it to the next toe, which I did.   Ice and elevate - excellent excuse for not going to a couple of places I really did not want to go to in the first place...   

    Hugs and Blessings for all, Nancy

    Yay Marybe!!!!! Those scan results are great!!!!!   Yahoo!!!!!  and you thought it wasn't working...........

    Marybe, enjoy that cortisone shot!!!

    3jays, what can I say...I hope you have a positive experience today because I know you are near the bottom of the barrel emotionally over this issue.... please God, protect that doctor if he pisses off Cherie!!!!

    Please, please let us know how it all goes!! I hope surgery is quick and there are pills that can assist.

    CT results were not good.....all liver mets have increased in size so I would say it is a pretty sure thing the halaven did not work.

    {{{MARYBE}}} I hope you can get on a new chemo that will work. Did xeloda work for you before? Maybe you can try it again.

    So far as I know, he has no idea about what the scans showed....he is on vacation til next week.  I have never done Xeloda, Barb.  This is the one I wanted to try because of a friend on here and also because the onco at MDA recommended it several times, but my onco was so sure the Halaven was the answer.  

    I am going outside to sweat a little....it is a real scorcher, but I picked up some new plants I want to get into baskets.....therapy.
