August 2014 Surgery

Angelfaith and Ally, so happy to see the two of you reporting in!

Angelfaith, Yay, that's over with- Hope you feel better and better every day! Wish I could wish away your leg pain.

Ally, Yippee for the clean path! Glad that's behind you and hope you heal up soon!

Quilt- Wow, 9 core biopsies-- Well that means they're really sampling it well so you can feel confident in the result. SO hoping it all comes back benign!!! Ugh--- Waiting!...

Mandy- I hope the sick feeling has eased up and you'll have some feeling OK time before the next chemo hits. Does it work that way or am I saying something stupid? Forgive me, I'm chemo ignorant.

Bobo- I can see that hopital scrubbing itself sparkling clean and aseptic--- Surgery ward wants to make an extra good impression, because thinks that Bobogirl is going to get all fixed up fine enough this time, so won't need to pass through there again (Please please please!!). Bobogirl will go home content, and feeling pretty darn good, just a bit sore----surprising herself by realizing that her brief well-cared for stay wasn't bad at all! Surgeon is practicing his be nice skills, too, because he realizes that being a great surgeon is not enough.

Ally - hooray for a clean path report.  Hope you will be good as new soon.

Quilty - we are here for you!  Hoping for great things!

Angelfaith - Hope you are recovering nicely and hoping for good pathology.

Bobo - thinking of you too!

As for me, I am doing good.  Chemo #4 is 12/26.  Right now, it is just weekly blood work.  On Friday, my white count was actually normal but my blood clotting level was too low.  My MO upped my meds and I go back for a recheck tomorrow.  I am feeling good, just tired, but that's okay.

Hoping this weekend to bake some cookies, candy some pecans and make some chex mix.  Then...on Sunday...Hobbit marathon in preparation for the next movie coming out.  It comes out this Thursday, but we are going the following Tuesday because it will be less crowded, cheaper on Tuesday and the kids are out of school.

I am outl. PS lied. He is a a liar. Pain is managed. More later. Thank you you guys. X

Hi!

bobo - hope everything is Ok?

ml- I had blood issues during my chemo treatments..I hope the meds are helping..Rest when you need to..

ally - Woohoo! for good path report and successful surgery!

I had my exchange a week ago..I feel bad that I am still in pain..I have the largest -800cc mentors..I look smaller than I was, but that is what I wanted..

I have bruising starting to show up and it hurts big time where PS had to lipo on the sides to round it out..I have no idea if I am going to like them or not..Still too swollen to get an idea of what I have..

All in all, I'm just happy I am alive and cancer free:)! I'll take the pain for now...

Allydp...so glad your doing good ! My ooph went great..I was cleaning the kitchen the next day ! Im in more pain from bmx still than I was from the oophorectomy. Although I did end up with a severe UTI from the catheter I think...my back is killing me. Thank you to everyone else for all the caring comments

I haven't been on for awhile..kind of slumped into a depression I guess. Not sure why..

Im getting ready for my 3rd surgery and I want nothing to do with it ! Yes, I want these dam expanders out of me but it seems like just as I start feeling better BOOM another surgery and down I go again. Im in a lot of pain from my last fill 3 weeks ago ! Im soo done with this pain game..I don't want to play anymore. Im tired allllllll the time, more like exhausted. And Im so done with taking pills...sick of them !

And of course Im starting to freak out about this upcoming exchange because those stupid thoughts are creeping back in...what if they find more cancer ?? I hate it ! Slim to none chance they will but that doesnt change my thoughts.

I went to see my GP last week for a physical and she freaked when she found out I was taking tamox ! She called my onc while I was sitting there but couldn't get in touch with him. She told me to stop taking it ...I have been trying to get in touch with onc to no avail. I think I need to find a new one. I guess maybe this could be part of my depression..Im not on anything preventative which is very worrisome for me. The last 3 nights have been so bad for sleep. I am having hot flashes..I cant sleep on my left side because my left shoulder is killing me ( I had the rotator cuff repaired in Feb 2013..then lumpectomy 2 weeks later !)..I cant sleep on my right (cancer side) because my right foob is killing..cant sleep on my back (never could but ) because that's killing me. I feel like Im falling apart

Oh boy..sorry about the rant ladies..I feel a bit better now that this is off my chest. I haven't started my Christmas shopping yet because Im so broke..I don't know what Im going to do

I feel so freaking lonely and depressed...I called a counselin cnter a few days ago but its an 8 week wait...theres other ones around me but this place has therapists that will come to me and right now that's what I need because when I get into these slumps I don't go anywhere 

Thank you Bobo

Hi!

Just checking in Ladies. Doing much better! Have had a lot of energy, so I've been out and about shopping!! Saw the PS on Thursday and everything is healing nicely. Won't see him for another 8 weeks. Pain only comes when I drive my SUV too much. In time I will get stronger and that pain should go away..

ganzgirl - You can rant all you want! Sending warm {{HUGGS}} and positive prayers for you!:)

ally - Hope your recovery is going well!

Bobo - You make the decision that is best for you! If you don't want any more surgeries, you have a right to not do anymore. Stand firm.

imhere - thanks for the words of encourgement!

Hello everyone, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

Quilty-- You think you'll get answers next week or will you have to wait till the week after that? Trying to push the Universe to go the right direction for you---Sure hope she listens!

Thinking of all of you, hoping you are getting some peace, rest, pleasant distraction, recharging and healing.

In the bag, Quilty!

Ally dp..hugs girl !! Wow we have so many similarities..uti right after ooph here too..got so bad it went into my back ! I was on 2 different antibiotics. Now..I have some kind of infection in my elbow So, Im back on two more antibiotics and now Im freaking out because exchange surgery is only 9 days away. But your very right, having so many surgeries so close together I think is the cause of my depression and yours. Im looking forward to exchange but Im not. I just started feeling better from ooph and now its time to go down again But, my depression has liftted for the most part.

Im soooooo fing ready to put this shitty year behind me. My birthday is tomorrow so I get 2 fresh starts when I wake up on NY Day bring on 2015 !

Hello Ladies, got a report from my doctor today and fibroadenoma and benign. Such a relief. It is the best way to end a real hard year.

Ganz hope that you will be feeling better soon. Happy Birthday and I wish that the coming year is a healthy and trouble free new year.

Thank you ladies for your support it means a lot.

Happy birthday Ganzie! And congratulations Quilty! So happy for your good news. But don't forget testing will put you through the wringer, even with a good result. Be kind to yourself! X

Quilt, I'm so happy that your results were good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ganz- Happy Birthday!!!

I hope that with this coming year, good things start to have the dominant part of all of your lives!
