More Tips (and a Shopping List) for Getting Through Chemo

Bump

I was watching a u-tube demo on how easy it is to wear head buffs.  Anyone had any experience with these and wear in the USA to order them?  Thanks ...

Thanks, Badger!

You're welcome, SyrMom!  I thought about you this morning when I came across two buffs in a dresser drawer while I was looking for gloves.  Would you like them? (free)  One is the black w/peace signs, and the other is blue-gray with green paisley design.  Yes I am an ex-hippie LOL.  PM me if interested.  ♥

bump it up!

sas-schatzi that's an excellent idea. This thread has such excellent advice.

Hi, Paula, yes I so agree, if you look at the JD-GP thread you will see what I mean about very little overlap. So, it's a great addition that I could put a link on JD-GP. JD-GP was pinned a very long time ago. It's with a group of four threads that newbies are encouraged to read. Sadly, many newbies jump right in and muddle around LOL. I did too! The old phrase if all else fails read the directions

Badger I think of you often and words of advice that you gave me long ago. So long ago you may have forgotten.

I have a BF. We have our ups and downs. You helped during a very difficult down period. We are still together. I'm of an age that time will tell, we will see L&H&P's

bump for the newbies! 

Bumping it up !

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my bco peeps !

Bump it to the top

Soteria ... when I went for a second opinion at Dana Farber in Boston, the MO there said he no longer even orders bone scans because its impossible to tell the diff. between healing areas and cancer.  When I've had areas of more concern, they were able to assess them by MRI with and without contrast; my RO said the CT scans are useless for bone mets, doesn't tell them anything, even though the report will read bone mets are stable, not so.  I actually had a vertebra that was fully engulfed with the beast!  The MRI told the whole story.  That being said, my MO here still orders bone scans once a year ... after what I was told in Boston, whatever the results are I will take with a grain of salt.

Soteria ... Well, that sounds great to me, especially the "gone" one!  Gone is gone!!  

I think there are so many varying of opinions that sometimes its hard to know what to believe.  All I know is I do what I can, learn as I go and try and go with the flow.  One thing I have learned is this is quite the ride!

Happy New Year!

Soteria--------Yay to the nth degree, what a great NY's present.  Such a kind doc.
