    Hi,

    Your story is sad and my family did a similar thing when my parents passed, leaving my brother with mostly everything because of the fact that he took care of my parents. Now none of them bother much with him with the exception of me he his alone pretty much. I have stood by him and now I have been faced with this placed in my lap and I worry about him now because I am the only one that really coommunicates with him and now this is a worry for him. I have a daughter who is an only child who I worry about now 24/7 because she would be alone if anything ever happened to me. I am in Chemo and hopefully all will go well with it and then on to Radiation when I am done with  that. I noticed that you said you took a trip to Maine, that is where my brother live. where in Maine are you? I am hoping to hook up at some point through all this stuff with someone locally .

    Welcome Nancy and Betty. Any questions or concerns you have, please feel free to speak up. Somebody on the thread has probably already dealt with whatever you're going throough and if not, we're still always hear to listen.

    I'm getting a bit discouraged here. I've been wearing the damn binder at least 22-23 hours a day and today I noticed some fluid build up. My prosthesis fitter noticed it also. I thought I had this licked and the skin had adhered to the chest wall. I had a near melt down this afternoon - ready to kick, scream and just throw a temper tantrum. Thank God for xanax and a nap. Things always look better after both Wink My BS keeps telling me I have to keep my left arm still. Easier said than done. It doesn't hurt, so it takes a real conscious effort not to move it. She tells me to keep my left hand in my pocket, yeah right. I think the only way I'm going to keep this arm from moving is to strap it down.

    On the plus side, this has probably been my best day so far re nerve irritation.

    I sorta see 'teeth'. I think the MP is a blown glass bottom of a vase. OR a dental xray of some type.

    Welcome Betty, how the heck did you get mets with DCIS?? Where do you have the mets? That's a tough one....

    Welcome Nancy and Betty but sorry you have to be here because of BC.  Nancy you are almost my neighbor!  Are you having the traditional rads or mammosite?  Hope your score is low like mine turned out.  Ask any of your questions and I'm sure many can give you their experiences.  As for the food, its all calorie, fat, and carb free!  Late nite snacks anyone?  Congrat Eli!

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.  Kittygirl, yes we are just a stone's throw apart and I will have traditional rads.  Claire, the cake is fabulous!  Please let me know how I can support each and every one of you "seasoned" women.

    Sheila, I cracked up when I read your post - we saw the same thing hon!!!!

    My official guess ... it's looking from the bottom up, through a glass, of what I'm not sure! Let's say it's an orange just so I have a guess out there

    Welcome Nancy and Betty. The MP is perplexing this week! If it was black and white, I would swear it was an ultra sound pic. I never could "see" the things those techs kept saying. Lol

    DD and little Ragan are doing great! I've been busy at work and being a grandma so it took quite a while to catch up this morning. Congratulations on the 500 pages! That's great!

    Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

    Hauntie, my surgery buddy, sorry you're having issues with the healing.  I am doing well with everything except the armpit and upper arm where they removed the lymph nodes.  Getting therapy 2x a week to get range of motion back.  I have been working hard because I need it to begin rads.  I don't want to put them off.  Don't know how quickly any little buggers could start multiplying again.  I am good with it, can get my arm up now, but it hurts!  Hope you're doing better and the fluid stops building up.  ((((hugs))))

    Nancy, if you do have to start radiation, we can be radiation buddies!  I am getting simulation tomorrow and then supposed to start rads next week.  It would be great to have a buddy to go through it with.

    I don't know whether to be nervous about the simulation tomorrow or not.  I guess the biggest thing I'm afraid of is laying with my arm held up for 40 minutes.  I've only just gotten to the point where I can lift it, and it hurts.  How am I going to stay that way for 40 minutes?  Vicodin and Ativan I guess.

    Hauntie and Kay-  Hugs. Hope your problems are resolved soon.

    For those of you starting Rads.  I just finished and I swear Emu oil is what saved my skin.

    I think the MP is hot glass being blown.

    Hi Kay - Maybe my memory is bad, but I don't remember having this kind of discomfort after my first MX. It's getting better, but not soon enough for me. Good luck with the radiation simulation. My radiation didn't start until after 4 rounds of chemo, so I had healed enough to have full range of motion in my arm by then. What did happen is a slip of the needle during the tattoo process. So instead of a pinhead size tattoo, I have about a 1/8" blue dot on my upper chest. It's become my mark of how low a top I can wear.
