Lita - ring those bells loud and you're beautiful as always.
-
Gorgeous photo Lita! We'll hear that bell ring across the land....
-
Lita, ring the bell so I can hear in in NY. You look great. I love your picture. Thinking of you always.
Hugs. Anit

Lita you will be fine with the Taxol one tip I got from a fellow MBCer who had had Taxol before when you get home put your feet in an ice bath for a bit helps,to stave off SE. I never got sick once on Taxol and you are doing everything else right in my book staying active and getting those CBDs into you. Big hug from Canada

Wendy...I'm also looking into get some ICE BOOTIES, too, but I certainly will stick my feet in ice water when I get home. I already have carpal tunnel (CT) and chose not to do the surgery because if you don't have a TOP surgeon, you can end up worse than when you started out. My friend is a retired nurse, and she's had THREE botched CT surgeries in EACH wrist and is now totally disabled because of it. I take B6 and B12 for my accompanying CT and wear full wrist braces at night to sleep. So far, I'm doing okay with the CT with only minimal numbness and loss of feeling in my finger tips, but I certainly don't want to lose any more feeling if I can help it.

Lita. When I did taxol at Mskcc they had me ice 15 minutes before and after the infusion. I had special ice holders for both areas. I didn't have neuropathy until 1 month ago- way after I was on taxol. This damned disease is so weird!

A pathways study in 2017 showed that obesity, low levels of exercise, and taking antioxidants with taxol made the neuropathy worse at 6 months and 24 months post treatment. Another reason to keep moving!

Ringing my bell with my DH, who has been my source of strength and support thru all the sessions and 'roid rages.

Just look at you!! Woooo Hoooo! Wish we could see dh's face though! I guess he's shy LOL.
You inspire us all! Love you Lita!
-
So happy for you to be done - really cute pic! Wow - that mask looks like an old hockey goalie mask - love that you & DH still have a sense of humor! -
Lita, thanks for asking about me. I go for the port films tomorrow and start rads on Monday. I just about can't wait and hope it helps. This morning was intolerable, it literally had me in tears. I didn't get it under control till mid afternoon. I'm praying rads does some good. You look great, praying for you every day.
-
Lita- your DH looks familiar. (JK) He seems like a very special person and I'm so glad he is by your side.
-
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!
-
Oh Kandy, I am so sorry you are in pain.

Your hubby is indeed a DH!

Off to pick up my wigs today.
-
My favorite, so far.
-
DD doesn't like this one, but I like it because it's darker and I have options (picked this one up yesterday).
-
Love this one Lita looks great.😘
-
gorgeous!! You definitely look great as a brunette in fall colors - suits your skin tone!! The blonde is for the days when you feel more va-va-voom!!
-
Congrats on ringing that bell! I love the darker wigs. You have a skin tone where you can wear all the ones you posted pics on. Hope you have a nice restful great weekend. xxx
-
Lita, I have yet to see you in a wig that doesn't look great. I think it's the smile!
BTW, heard that bell on the west coast of Canada. You have quite the arm! Well done.
Hugs. Pat(2

Your favorite is my favorite. It is awesome.

Lita, I heard that bell here in Chicago. Both wigs look great--no reason you can't be a honey blonde one day and a brunette the next. Long hair, even. You are gorgeous no matter what you wear!
-
Lita your bell was heard here in NYC!!! All the wigs look great on you!
