December 2009 Rads Group

Oh Valerie I can remember the days of sleeping a lot.  Wish I could sleep all day now jus to get caught up on my sleep.  Working nights I stay so tired all the time I just really want to sleep all day and all night.  It's hard to function.  Feel better soon.

Hope he calls you soon Valerie. I'm waiting with you

 P.S. My daughter is getting married tomorrow night and I will be getting a son-in-law and a granddaughter added to my family.  Pray for no rain here at least till after the ceremony is over and that they have a safe trip to Florida and back home.  Much love to you all ... Bonnie, Jewly and Valerie. 

Oh my gosh those were big lumps Valerie!!! Geesh!! The TE's will get better I promise I've had friends that had them and did well after the initial stretching.  It just takes a bit. 

I had my BMX 4 weeks ago. I still have 2 drains in. They are annoying!!! I have some energy but these stupid drains keep me from doing what I would like to do.

My youngest son (19) wanted to learn how to make my meatloaf. I stood there and told him what to do and he did it. he likes to cook.

Gentle hugs!

To all......Been a while since being on this site, have not forgot anyone and hope all is well....I can't even begin to discuss some of the stuff I have been dealing with but wanted to let you know that about 3 weeks ago, I had a sudden bad leg pain and could hardly walk the dog, a day later I was admitted to the ER with Extensive Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis of lower extremity....Now on warfarin (blood thinner) have to be extremely careful, already fell once and am bruised like I was in a auto wreck....Will have new ultrasound in 3 months to see if my body has dissolved this....DR took my off Arimidex, since this could be a side effect....While in the hospital I was given CT to make sure it was not cancer caused and also Bone Scan and luckily those tests were negative...I am a little afraid of being off arimidex and am taking tumeric and trying to eat estrogen inhibiting foods...I can't even talk about my personal life at this time, but the shock of the century..Just found out my husband Alan has been having affair, shock of my life>>>with a co-worker at Pratt Whitney Rocketdyne in Jupiter, he has been hiding this since Jan 2012, coming home and trying to act normal when I knew something had changed, but he just kept lying to me over and over like I was so stupid to think such a thing, but I found the evidence of unbelievable so he could deny no more, seems he had been having affair with co-worker about half his age, a Chere. Somehow within his at least 10 calls to me each day, he fit in this affair that has changed out future forever, there while I thought he was being faithful the 4 days he had to go down and continue his job, he would come back to Merritt Island on Thurs eves like nothing was going on..I could tell something and tried to question everything that didn't make since he just turned it around on me, like how dare I think such a thing.....This girl has no idea of what I have gone through since 2009, what a also married adulterating human being, I guess they will deserve each other, about half his age (his step daughter is ten years older, what is wrong with these men?, so stupid, they put there whole lives and everyone in it on the line and gamble that htey won't get caught, they always get caught, now he can be someone else's liar, my husband's ego has changed form a once respected man into such a liar, cheater, I just have been overwhelmed...sorry guys, I needed to vent.....Jewly

I'm here. I PM-ed you!!

I'm having a bit of trouble with the left breast expander. That's the side that was radiated. It kept opening up along the scar so yesterday I had surgery. The PS took some saline out and redid the scar. I'm taking the meds and I'm just tired.



I found out last week that I may be stage four. They found a spot on my sternum, hip, tonsil, and possibly the liver. I had a spot on the liver three years ago. I'm hoping its the same one. If it is then its just a birthmark. I go for a bone scan next.



That's about all for now. I"'m getting tired.



Hugs

Yeah, the PET scan found the spots. Last time it showed my thyroid to be cancerous and it wasn't. I'm just taking one thing at a time. Trying not to worry. Can't waste my energy on worrying plus it doesn't do any good.

Hey ladies I've been missing all of ya'll!! Sorry I haven't been around Jewly.  If ya'll ever need me put my personal email in your computer I will pm it to you.  I check that email daily usually or at least every other day.  Veggy I hope your scans are o.k.  Jewly as for your clot the warfarin should dissolve it and your personal life... I'm sorry.  My daughter as you know got married in July well as it turns out her husband is quite immature and being as ass! His latest is that his step dad is going to start him a business and he now wants her to sign papers to say if they get a divorce at some point she won't touch it.  If she doesn't he told her they can't be together that they have no future... REALLY!!!! I'm just freaking pissed off!! I want to call him and tell him what I think but I'm biting my tongue. Opinions ladies?

I'm just letting myelf heal before the bone scan. I'm going to call today and make the appointment. I don't know how to feel. I want to be in denial but it keeps nagging at me.

Jewly- I'm doing the happy dance for you!



A little spot on my scar has been bleeding and I mean bleeding. Called the plastic surgeon and we think its because he deflated the expander and a seroma formed. It finally broke and has been oozing. So as funny as it sounds... I am keeping a sanitary napkin over the scar.



Hugs to everyone!

Well that's what the plastic surgeon told me to use after the BMX. I thought he was joking.They work better then gauze. Seriously!

Thinking of getting a tattoo on my wrist to commemorate my 3rd cancerversary... what say ya'll?  My daughter thinks because I'm a nurse I shouldn't put it on my wrist and that it should be somewhere less seen... like the ankle or foot? opinions?  gonna get a breast cancer ribbon.

thanks Valerie   guess each to their own... she's also gonna get one as well just gotta decide where I want mine.

Here's hoping all my Rad's buddies have the best Thanksgiving ever... love you all
