My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer

Good evening ladies and thank you all again for the support.

Thank you MJH Jan royal pain indeed. Congrats on your DD's accomplishments. I hope the dark places she's visited push her towards the light places now.

Grannax I was angry but was just so emotional I held it in and talked to a nurse. Just tears and you know if you do have to tell someone off tears are not a good sign of strength. lol Enjoy the extra margaritas on me!

Simone I have to do it twice this time. Deep sigh. I'm just going to show up Friday and hopefully it won't take a long time.

Mara sorry you lost your companion. That sucks. Well now we all know to share numbers if we get a volunteer that we like.

Minnie waving hello to Spain and the gota fria. I like warm weather but mostly everyone on this thread loves the cooler temps.

Candy frustrating and such a horror. I have to get the dye contrast through my port again, eat valiums like M&M's to get in the rocket sized compartment.

Philly love please let me know and see pics and upcoming excitement for the fashion show. This thread is filled with Diva's!!! I hope your MRI results are great!

Rosie 24 I'm glad you can get injections for your back. Are they done in the doctors office? I had steroid shots and they had to be administered while I was under anesthesia. They worked until I fell.

Booboo sorry to hear about any progression with you.I hope the radiation knocks the crap out of the new and old lesions. I hope and pray that The break in between treatments allows you to feel stronger and ready for going onward. Do you know where you will get the radiation? facility? Grannax is bringing margaritas and Mel chocolate for my Friday MRI.

Muddling I'll be there with you Friday for your taxol. What's the schedule, every three weeks? Thats a strong one that usually obliterates C.

Mae enjoy your vacation. Post travel pics when you can. They're always uplifting.

Runor thanks for the marianelizabeth update.

Mel I'm isolating myself today. I don't want anyone to catch the flipping out crying lady when they don't deserve it. Unfortunately I'm hiding out from DH too. I overheard him talking on the phone about how he has to sit in the clankety clank MRI room and hold onto my foot for an hour. I was laughing inside bc it's true and now he has to do it again. He was smart and didn't pass the cancer cure ladies message along.

Divine I do not like Kombucha. I tried it once and it's expensive after one sip I dumped it down the drain.

weepy day for me. My friend took me to lunch at Bazille which is kind of a fancy restaurant in Nordstrom. Once I got home I dealt with rescheduling MRI which will be Friday. Really raw emotions. I had to speak directly to the person who made the error. She was apologetic and kind. I heard the Dr. and PA fuss at her yesterday so I just left it bc all I can do today is cry. There was something on the lumbar spine MRI results that would've been continued and definitive if the other thoracic MRI would've been done the report said edema and fluid and that additional imaging needs to be done. I now have an appt with a neuro specialist just in case for the second week in Oct. So glad you guys are here truly. I am going to NY Monday - Friday my DD has an endoscopy and I found $73 round trip ticket on Frontier. So now she has a babysitter, homemaker, mom to ease some of the stress.

I got a phone call from a friend who I don't hear from often. She has found the cure for cancer and sent the book to my husband which of course he never told me about bc we're both done with that snake oil stuff.

Moving soccer mom I'm happy you had a nice day with your DH a your cross country drive. Sorry to hear about Artemis, beautiful kitty.

I hope I didn't forget anyone.

As Boo Boo said onward.......

Tanya

Tanya,

I moved to Tarpon Springs, so I am going to the New Port Richey office. I will have chemo there, and also radiation. I am not at all worried. My progression is just another bump in the road. I know the rads will kick butt on the femoral lesion, and I am still blessed to have mets only in the bones. The only thing I hate going through again is hair loss, but that, too, will pass. It’s the Lord’s way of keeping me humble!

I will be SO in your pocket on Friday. If you ever need me, I’ll come to Tampa and hold your hand through it. Nothing like another MBC sister who truly understands the crap we go through!

I’ll be praying for an easy day for you tomorrow, my dear

Thanks Mel. It’s really the way I manage through this disease. I refuse to let it take my joy out of life.

My sister is here visiting this week, and we have had so much fun. Several times I’ve had to stop and sit for a bit, but she is good with that. I probably push myself too hard sometimes, but it’s worth it in the end.

Tanya,

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and hoping things go very smoothly. Loved the image of your husband patiently sitting there holding your foot. That looks like love to me.

BooBoo~Also love your name, my nick name was Boo from my dad. It’s dear to me. Just like you ! I am trying to just accept the things that I can’t change. That’s a hard thing to do and you do it with such grace. 💗. Love that and you....

Mara~I also cannot wait to see Grannax’s photos. She always has such a great eye for design.
Grannax~ also waiting for those pics.
Philly~. Our runway star 🌟 number two! Go rock it beautiful! So thoughtful to have said Grannax inspired you! Indeed she does!

Waving hello to Chicagoan 🥰 good to see you!
Tanya better have huge pockets. Like that pic Mae posted. The jacket sweater type with killer big pockets. We should make it the team FU cancer (Parry?💔?) scan sweater. 💜 lots of room in that-bad boy!
Hugs to all!

Tanya, I will have taxol once a week for foreseeable future. When I did it last year it was for twelve straight weeks. I am feeling very down. I'm on pocket duty with you and with boo boo. I'll bring some chips and maybe cookies.

Simone you got the dress/jacket thing. I may have to wash it. I’ll pass it on like the traveling jeans.

BigB good luck on your scans tomorrow.

Muddling I was thinking when I was in the infusion room and a patient got to ring that bell. MBC means treatment after treatment. I pray The taxol dose is manageable for you while it obliterates your C

Booboo tarpon springs is beautiful! Enjoy your sister time.

Thanks all

Tanya

Tanya~ it does need a good washing and vacuuming from all the crumbs. I am still so annoyed that they messed up the first time. I mean with appointments galore. It’s a big deal for us to be there and ready not only mentally but physically and not sleep the entire night before. It’s a shit storm honestly. I noticed you mentioned Bigb having to scan. I don’t see where you saw that. I was concerned about her and hoping she was well! Hugs to you my sweet sister. I had to giggle when you said you loved the heat...... and hear i am, praying for fall. You’re a trip. Sweet dreams ladies!
Waving hello to Candy! 👋🍬

murder trial what??? My goodness that is unreal wow. I got called for jury duty, which I won’t be going to. I can’t be sitting in a standby room in hard chairs. I’m so sorry that you have to deal with something like that. My goodness I’m speechless. You my dear are something else. 🌹🌹🧡

Mara~I am sorry sweetheart..... you are way bigger than just some cog in a broken justice machine. You're wonderful and special! don’t ever forget that ever!

Reporting for pocket duty....

Wow Mara! That's so scary and I'm sad that you have to be part of it. Hopefully they won't keep you for too long and I hope the system takes care of closure for the victim's family.

Mel did you already get out of the jury duty? I just got that first thing they send you so I'm expecting to be called in any time now. I was going through treatment last time I got called up for jury duty. I didn't even have to go in - I just called them up and said I was on chemo for bc and they took me off the list - until now. I can't see myself sitting in the chairs all day either.

Grannax and Mel Candy 678 posted a link to big B’s post about lighting a candle and I read that she posted about a test or treatment today. The link is still above.

Mara get some rest. Treatments are tough I was shocked to hear that a murderer was in your backyard. I’m glad you’re standing up for the victim. May peace and comfort find its way to you today and always.

Muddling these treatments have a cumulative effect on us. When I wake up and move around that’s when I find out how I’m gonna feel that day. It’s all quite unnerving. I hope the down feeling will subside soon. There’s some stupid jingle in a McDonald’s commercial that’s stuck in my head. “ we’re gonna have a good day and ain’t nobody gonna cry today save that junk for another day”. I think about it and feel a bit upbeat. Kids are singing it. Doesn’t make me want McDonald’s but I like the kids!

Have a good day all. My MRI is at 4:00.

Tanya
