    Oh and as for exercise, hate to say it but I lurk in the after treatment threads and have some fav blogs I read from BC peeps here, some say that they excercised all thru and after treatment...it makes no differernce to their energy levels. THAT is fatique and I for one believe it is real. Treatment affects everyone differently and bravo to those who can and hugs to those that can't. I hate cancer.

    I can't keep up with y'all - I am just on here real quick and will catch up in a bit.  Just wanted to update I had another rads consult yesterday.  Second opinion, second "yes, you need to do rads." So rads it is.  Starting after Thanksgiving and hopefully finishing up right before Christmas.  It is going to totally screw up my reconstruction.  I had an appt with PS yesterday to let out 120 ccs on one side.  I really wish I would have just delayed reconstruction totally but what's done is done.

    Promise I'll catch up later.  We had an election night watch party with bro/sil last night and I was SO tired from getting up at 3 a.m. that I fell asleep before the results were even in!  (well, and there was the wine too) I woke up in a panic around 2 a.m. and checked my CNN app with great relief.

    More later.

    Yes fatigue is terrible. I used to think having a 15month old and newborn was fatigue- doesn't even compare!



    K- sorry to hear about the rads and reconstruction :( I'm glad they agreed though! So no second guessing.

    K I'm glad u did get a second opinion now u know for sure without questioning u'r decision.

    Markat it is a different type of fatigue, now sleepy so much as whole body stuuf goin on. With babies it like Oh I'm so tired I just want to sleep--with this it's like Oh can I make it to the other side of the room LOL

    Yes I had every single allergy and test there has been--maybe something new is around--I just ot it back a little while ago--I'm so exhausted from this this time--lasting to long even with meds.  I have a call in to the nurse to ask some questions. Oh well.

    Cami - sending you healing thoughts and prayers. Hope they give you some help!  Will check in on you later!  Wishing we could toss that big D under the bus, but it might get messy! lol

    One of the ladies in that group I volunteered in this morning had that poop transplant... got c diff.... went in for repair to ankle and ended up with it and an iliostomy and colostomy ...  certainly was a crappy deal.

    No call from Dr. today but they are usually a no news is good news place ... but will probably call them anyway .  Going to neighbours for a little while tonight  A steady force this past year.  Wish everyone was as great as she is.

    Whaevah - seen you on Canadian thread, what part of country are you from?

    Camillegal--prayers and hugs.  And more prayers and hugs.  And re your picture--my black kitty is winning.  Eat it!  My next onc appt is the 21st, and he focuses in on weight gain...  so I tryyy to be good.  Am weak.

    bgirl--if I'm cracking up on bus duty and the kids all look at me like I've lost it, it'll be all your fault!  Won't be able to watch school bus traffic with a straight face for a while!  (thanks, I needed that.)  :-)  Hope your no news/good news continues.

    Wishing each of you strength.

    Hi guys I'm back--I didn't get stuck in the hospital but of course they can fine one readon why I have diarrhea --I have to call a gastrologis tom. and start testing again. I do have some stupid infection (that's why the pain) either bladder or urinary (I forgot) but he said it was pretty bad and they don't wsnt it going to a kidney cuz one of my kidnes weakened during chemo ad he gve me an anti- gave me one right sway so we didnt have to stop on the way home which was good---that's what my sister and I were laughin so hard about if I had the c-diff and she couldn't donate her sh*t, cuz hers isn't so good either hahaha--what a way to cure someone OMG to tell anyone u had that transplanted cracks me up. LOL--Thanks guys at least I had one answer the pain part hahaha  Damn I'm tired and crabby as u can tell. OK I wanted to let u know I'm home, fine and tired,

    wishing you a good night's rest cami ... hope infection better and you get some answers.  More tests suck though.

    Skittle - just smile sweetly and think of who you really want to toss under it.

    I was so shocked that this 72 yr old straight laced lady from church admitted that she had a crap transplant ... still cracks me up.

    sleep well camille...tomorrow will be a better day!

    Are you guys really serious about the transplant thing? When I read the first post (I think from Camille), I thought it was too funny - and full of sh*t. But now...I'm not so sure.

    Draining afternoon at MO's office today. Too tired to talk about it now - will tomorrow.

    Thanks for making me smile...I needed it today! Night

    Hey, hope all are feeling good.

    This herceptin kicked my butt. Obviously no where near as bad as chemo, but I'm super tired. Maybe the old heart is ready to be done with this year too!

    I'm officially hired pending the results of the tests for the job! Woohoo. That should be okay...I think!

    On No that's not my doggie, just a randome picture for napping LOL

    Teka u've come the the right place I'm just starting to learn a little about a computer, I'm computer diasabled but I'm slowly learning since I'm home all day. LOL

    Markat right H isn't like chemo, but it's not always as easy as everyone thinks, just like rads sounds easy and it is and fast but knocks the hell out of u.

    markat--congrats on the hiring!  Hope all goes well!

    camille--love, love melting puppies... sooo relaxed.  Hugs to you, and hoping you feel better soon, soon.

    journey--thanks for asking...  I was wondering too.  Real?  wow.  Had no idea.  My sixth graders would be snickering all year (after the goggle eyes subsided.)  They love fecal puns, the more inappropriate the better.

    Teka--I have a running daughter, too!  I admire her passion for it and persistence.  (Ah to be 5'11" and so fit.)   :-)
