U girls are right (I think) u'r not ready or done yet and u both keep things going good. U'll know when u'r ready, but not yet. I did all u gals did but I had health on my side then, so there's a big difference. Everyone takes a different about of time to get their heads together and body too.
And personally birl I do say YYYAAAYYY to drugs at this point--never thought I would but I do now.
And I' worse than both of u-I'm supposed to go out to lunch tomorrow, now I think my Diarrhea has stopped today for a while so I reallly have to go and I' exhausted from the last 2 days and I used to look forward to these things. So I' really bad.

Hi Girls,
I don't mean to butt in here, but I saw the title of your thread and read the "introverts and hermits with bc unite" catch phrase and had to stop in to say hello and that I'm with you!! My idea of a good time involves my dogs and my couch! [That doesn't sound right -- but you know what I mean!
]
I couldn't read the whole thread--just the last page or so--but also wanted to say that I love all the pictures, too!

I read more than I write.......must be the hermit taking over.
Camilleagal, your are a hoot with all the captions on the pics! You do make me laugh! You are quite creative. Thanks for entertaining us!
-
Camille hope you are able to go.
Thanks bgirl!
Welcome mom2twins! Stop by and chat with us.
Hey Flwarrior! -
I didn't see mom2twins--welcome--Sorry u'r here tho. And u have TWINS OMG. In all fairnesd to all of us we're not boring--we just find more comfort not going out and socializing--maybe that will change--well not for me, Im pretty set in my ways. But my Katie-Kat and my couch make me comfy and now that I discovered a computer, I figure I talk to more people in one day than people who go out. So it's good here.
And Flwarrior come by more often--we don't see enough of u--well u know what I mean. OK I'm trying to go to sleep now, if not I'll be in the insomniac thread which I also find myself. But I took my meds and hope they work tonight. we'll see. Nite all--Sweet dreams
-
camille - hope you got some sleep and big D is gone so you can go to your lunch.
Don't mind some selective socializing, tonight's dinner will be okay should be home by 9:30, but not up for a dress-up halloween party on saturday (not on a good day even before).
Mom2twins - not sure how old your twins are, but must make your couch look good at the end of the day. Plus probably a big hassle to go anywhere if they are still young. Oh and welcome, yes camille's cartoons are a wonderful break. Pass some of them on to my sister who suffers from PTSD from an abusive relationship and she gets a chuckle too. Not sure where they all come from, but camille is a whiz.
Didn't take anything a crap sleep again. Should have gotten up and seen if anyone was on the insomniacs thread.

GM everyone IGH--I did sleep last nite and woke up to the big D and didn't mke it to the bathroom, my movement is slow sometimes--GRRRRR I took all my pills. But It's some of my fault I hadn't really eaten in 2 days and I was so hungry last night I just ate--and I usually don't but I thought it was over. Damn.--I'm stupid. After all these years u'd think I'd know. I' venting now everyone. See this is some of the reason I'm hermitting I fear going out too. LOL Now comes the pain pills cuz I'm so achy and my head hurts so bad and yet I'm really lucky cuz nothing has progressed just the sameo-sameo stuff all these years--so I shouldn't complain but I do anyway. LOL
Well I guess I'm not oing today and embarrass everyone--that's realy the onky thing that embarrases me in public, I guess thats' normal. I just took my vitamins so that should help cuz I'm shakey and tired now. hahaha u'r stuck reading this.
Well I hope u guys have a good day.

*waves* to all

Bgirl- hope your dinner was fun. I'm supposed to go to a party Saturday night. I used to love Halloween and dressing up- not so much this year. We'll still go because it's family, but probably no costumes.
Camille- so sorry about the big D. Watch your fluids and stay hydrated! We want you to stay out of the hospital!
Whatevah- that's funny about bombing the pub bathroom :-) Hope you get some rest after treatment.
Do any of you watch the show Parenthood? One of the main characters was just dx with BC. So far it's been pretty realistic. -
Markat one of the producers wife was Dx with BC, so we'll see how they play it out.
I'm driking like crazy and taking vitamins so I hipe it's over---I feel like sh*t hahahaha
-
Oh is this me or what???
-
camille- don't know where you get this stuff, but too funny!
-
-
camille- got about 2 hrs. Still so tired. The dinner was good and I had a nice time, but ready to come home by 9, unfortunately not to sleep. Nice chatting with you in the wee hrs. See SAS showed up for you.
-
Jane Im so tired too--I took a nap this afternoon could mean trouble for tonite. I went to the lab for my bloodwrk my numbers are low so that's one reason I'm tired but niw the heart guy ot back involved so we'll see what he's going to do. Too many Drs. now interferring in my day and nite LOL
-
Tried to keep busy and not nap today. Figured maybe I will get a few hours out of sheer exhaustion. Went to Y this morning, working on keeping range of motion - tightness agravates arthritis I had in that shoulder pre BC. Also bit of numbness nerve issue in a couple of my fingers. Keep that exercised by taliking here. lol Very nice warm day here so I went for a walk to see if it would help the muscle spasm having in leg from nerve pain (back). I find I sleep lightly so when pain bugs me I can't sleep at all.
Hope you sleep tonight too. Funny my own Dr of 24 years said to me after she told me I had cancer was that I would get very sick of dr.s apts. Sooo True.
-
Wow u kept busy hopefully u'll sleep if u'r pain lessens alot--don't u take pain meds--I do now =. Never did before but as time oes on I just take them.
-
-
*clapping hands*....me too camillegal !
-
Hope you ladies get some sleep tonight!
Not much new going on with me. Spent three hours carving a pumpkin...darn kids
Pretty sure that's the most exercise I've had in 6 months, lol.
-
Hi ladies! I have the opposite sleep problem...once I go to sleep I don't want to wake up! And that is with out any meds. It doesn't matter what time I go to bed, I have to talk myself into to getting up. I set the alarm way before I "have" to get up...so I can hit snooze and get used to the idea that I have to drag my poor body out of bed to get ready for work.
I believe I will too! Pour me a glass camillegal and whaevah!
-
FLwarrior right now that sounds goo, but if u'r working not so good. I didn't always non-sleep like this, but with aromasin it seems to be the case. So I blame it on that. I love to blame everything on meds, it's so much easier in my mind I acrually feel tired now I took somemeds--so maybe I should try to sleep. So I'll give it a go..
-
Hi girls, ok im somewhat of a hermit but really my issue is, hmmm not sure how to explain. I ended treatment nov 2010, A/C x4 and taxol x12.. Double mx with reconstruction that im in the process of now, i just feel like nothing will be the same, i dont have a desire to much of anything, im 44 with two kids, i was always happy, fun, social girl. I dont have a problem with my Mx, or i dont dwell on what has happened or why me kinda thing, i know ill never be the same, i dont know how to come to terms with all that has happened maybe?!? But im ok as far as knowing health wise im fine! I dont know why i have no desire for anything. I went back on Lexapro, but its not helped like it did when i was on chemo.. I know im 2 in a half years out and a head of you girls, i hope you dont feel this way by then.. Im not in any danger of hurting myself or any thing like that. Im just kinda existing. Does that make sense?? Hmmm, im in a cloud still i guess..
May i come in and play with you girls? Hehe, please!!
Chey -
Welcome Cheyenna--we're here. I think we all understand how u feel and we're not sure why we feel this way except u explained it pretty well. We're all different yet we're all kind of the same. I'm much older and I've been out of the weekly grind for a while no recon and I just don't have the push or energy to do things like I used to. I'm on paxil, I don't feel a depression just a I don't want to bother. Maybe this is normal for some??? I usually feel tired and sometimes weak--My bloodtests are usually low so I take suplements like mad and it just seems like a lot of things are to much effort and I'd rather not make soscial talk like before plus my brain is foggy alot and I'd rather be alone alot and I don't feel sorry for myself just like being alone more. So join the party sounds like fun right? Oh we're not depressing we just have a different take on things. LOL
