Your MIL KNOWS that God did not want you to have children?
People have have dedicated their entire lives to faith don't know the why's of anything.
She is possessed, insane or just plain meaner than a bucket of piss.
Sorry you had to endure that.

Imagine that, cards made by someone who has actually been through it and gets it. THAT'S how you do business.
Would it be weird to send this link to my friends and tell them to send me these cards if they feel the necessity to send cards??
EDIT: I seem to have missed a the whole last page of comments! It seems like people making stupid comments are getting STUPIDER!! I'm so sorry you all are having to deal with this incredible insensitivity.
-
coraleliz: that is just awful. Your MIL deserves a massive junk punch at the top of the stairs and a lovely fall down them. I'm glad you live 2000 miles away! What a horrible thing to say. -
Well, there I was, having hair, showing NED, and starting to decompress. I had that horrible meeting with my MO who left for private practice. Unfortunately, this was the same day I was in severe pain on my spine. My ex-MO suggested I discuss it at a survivorship meeting to be held in July. That's when I told her to sod off.
By the grace of God, the nurse-practioner heard me. She makes an appointment with a new MO for the following week. These is my third MO -- I'm getting paranoid. I know I'm assertive and have learned more than my evil MO liked. My new MO looks like she's 15 but is brilliant. She actually talked to me like I was a real, living person and not just a wad of clinical material to screw with. She sent me off for a MRI.
There's something on the MRI. Now I'm wanting to be told when someone will scrape my spinal bone. For two weeks I've been a total mess. This is so much more frightening than my original DX. I don't know what all this means but I've already got it that they can't just cut out bits of my spine -- it's not a MX and ALND. You don't need a boob but you kinda need a spine.
I feel like I'm running in circles. I'm barely eating or sleeping. My caregiver/DP is in almost as bad shape as me.
How do I deal with this? I can't imagine any way to handle this. It took me two weeks to be able to write this: what is written seems more real than what I think.
Damn. I can't do this. Damn, Damn, Damn. And I've 15 pages of posts to catch up on this thread along. I am so very f-ing tired of this hell

Coral, this ones for you !!!!! (Your MIL sounds like mine)
-
Bride....I have no advice because I would be abasket case too, but just wanted to say I'm so sorry u are going through this. This cancer sh*t sucks so much.
-
Me too, Bride. Keep us posted, and hang in there.
-
ah Bride,, so sorry to hear this. We are here for you! Rant all you want. (((hugs))
-
Bride, I've been your quiet, cyber-friend for a long time. Your post breaks my heart. I'm so sorry you're enduring this. Everything crossed here, and hoping...HOPING for the best.
-
Bride, I am so sorry to hear this.
-
Bride, hoping for the best and holding your hand.
-
Bride, I've been where you are and it sounded like you were me talking about the MO. I'm on my 4th one - they don't tend to like outspoken patients who are intelligent and have a mind and are not afraid to verbalize their opinions. I like my current one.
I recently fired my RO. I used to feel bad when I had to do it but no longer.
I'm very sorry to hear all of this and will "keep you in my pocket". I get it.

Bride- I am sorry to hear about all you are going through. We are here to listen if you need us.
-
Bride, so very, very sorry to hear that. I can't imagine what you're going through but I know it's terrifying - or would be to me. I hate this disease.
-
Bride... thinking of you.
-
Bride- finding the right doctors who can hear us is important. My RO was good, MO is good (although he had a heart attack and now I am dealing with a nurse practitioner for follow up). My BS is a whole other story, like her the least. Out of the three, she is the one who I will ask questions too and does not like to be challenged. I did anyways, this is my body and my life, not hers. She has her own agenda, and I figured that out too.
I am glad you have a new MO you like whom you can talk to. I hope you can get your test scheduled soon and find out if there are any concerns with the bones. Keep breathing and know we are here for you.

They see "something"? Sh*t I hate that. Tell me there is an alien housed there, or an unborn twin. Dont tell me something. Its too hard to deal with something.
Its ok to be a basket case. Most get that way with so much less to worry about.
I wish that encouragement was cyber-transportable.
-
Bride,
I cannot begin to imagine what you are feeling but I am so very sorry that you're dealing with this. I know that doesn't amount to much, but please come here and vent whenever you feel like it. You have friends rooting for you in cyberspace! We care about you and what you are dealing with.

Bride - so sorry to hear your news - when are they going to meet with you next? Hate that this sh**t always starts just before a weekend. Sending hugs, S.
-
Bride - so sorry - sending cyber hugs to you. Please take care

love that, Spookiesmom!

This thread is too good to let it go .

Let me add, from my MO today - When she gave me the best news ever, I went straight into a weepy hot mess. She looked alarmed and asked my why I was crying and so upset. I never cry in front of anyone, let alone my care team or nurses.
Well I was crying because it was the best news ever, and I have lived 11 months surviving DD AC/T, then a single mastectomy and a failed immediate reconstruction, and then rads. I owe more money than I will be able to make to pay it off, I lost my job and insurance, I was more bald than a bald Eagle, I haven't been this sick or eaten so many meds in my life, I had to drag my foot around in an ortho boot because my foot hurt so bad, I have heart damage from Adriamycin, my eye lashes are falling out again, I am missing my two big toe nails they are still coming back, my hair is 2" long, I have one boob, and 25 pounds of chemo fat. But I survived all of that crap, and I just thought I should have a party. A big fat all about me I deserve to be a hot mess pity party. And I am totally out of head nods and fake smiles.
I was crying because I just couldn't deal with any more bad news, and when it was so good I just let it go...................that and I was so happy that chemo is off my pole until later! I know we all get it, I just thought she would too.
-
Right on, BeachBum!!!!! So happy for your good news!
-
Oh, BeachBum, that is such great news!!!
-
WOOOHOOO Beach!!!!!!
-
Thank You! I am so ready for the break. Too bad we are all so far away, it would be a great party!
-
Great news, take time to breathe and enjoy!
-
Beachbum- that is great news about getting great news at the MO's office. You have been through so much, just like many other sisters here.
I think a party/celebration is in order. Decide what you want and have others execute on it. You deserve some positive attention for a change.
You go girl!

Thanks Jazzy, when I was diagnosed in July I wanted my reward early just in case the news wasn't good. So I bought a new car with 72 payments, so far I made 9 payments, with more to come
If I get the title I have done well. Cheryl
