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

Candy~Brrrrrrrr. Ugh it's cold here also today, it dropped 20 degrees in like an hour. It's pretty chilly outside and I saw my first flurry and it's windy. But that's about it. I'm not ready for snow again. Not even close. I don't like the shoveling part of things. My son is at work so late it all freezes over and makes it difficult to shovel afterwords. So it's just annoying.

Sondra~ Hope you're doing well today. Rest yourself up and be good to yourself, you've had a hard time of it.

Once again Yay Mae!

If I've forgotten someone I'll be back

Minnie~sweet Minnie. how is your weather in Spain. I want to leap there and see what you see! My bff aunt just came back from there. She said it was magnificent! When she got back she learned she had breast cancer. So I'm trying to be there for her. I hate cancer. But love you Minnie! Hope your hip is cooperating-with you !

Mae wonderful stable results. Do a happy dance and empty your pockets.

Mara I like the soft towels from the dryer. I’ve had the scratchy ones in the summer bc the grandkids and the pool I just wash and hang them. Saves on electric bill.

DH was depressed yesterday so I just made dinner vacuumed a bit and waited to see what was bumming him out and he never shared. So I got my mm and a funny show with popcorn.

Today we’ll go see a movie and have lunch outside.

Sondra f I’m happy your home. I remember coming home from a hospital stay over 30 years ago and I cried. House was a mess and I had a new baby 🍼 postpartum and four older kids. Wawawa. Once I got the clothes folded and put away I felt a bit better. My mom took care of the groceries. It’s hard for me to relax in a mess. Everyone still loves you they just don’t know how to clean the way you do.

Mel take it easy today.

Next week Booboo and I meet!!!!! Looking forward so much to do this.

Tanya

Hi Mel, All,

I am feeling SO much better. Man, the back to back illnesses (stomach virus, upper respitory infection) did a job on my head. I was ready to throw in the towel. I finally woke up with no cough and stomach feels much better. Don’t care to see soup for awhile!

I started PIQRAY last Friday, and so far, so good. Nothing big to report yet. Hoping it stays that way!

Sondra, so glad you are at home. I hope you continue to improve each day.

Tanya and I are looking forward to our lunch together next Wed. Can’t wait. We’ll take a picture and post it. I’m so excited. Can’t wait to see you, girl.

Love to all

Yay for good scans!!

I have been in the midst of a shit show w my elderly parents so not posting too much. My 86 year old mom broke her leg. My dad is 92 and rather helpless/ walker etc. Both of them are basically nice, but nuts and have no ability to be efficient or problem solve. Both are terrified to spend money-- though they have money-- so even obvious, easy solutions elude them.

Busy solving their problems w my sister.... But we are powering through it.

xx SB

Mae!!!!! That's wonderful news!!!!! Hurray! And now are you scan-free until after the holidays? WooHooooo!

Mel, yes I'm teaching a few students every day. Like 3-4 each day Monday through Saturday. It's such an easy schedule and I love it. I have an interview with a new student this week but I'm really not feeling taking anyone new at the moment. I don't know why I said yes to the interview. Ugh!

Mara the cleats are an excellent idea! I have a pair of Trackerz from the days when I used to be able to run. I ran each morning al winter long. Those were the days. This morning was icy, I had to clean the snow off the car and I was indeed a little nervous about falling.

Can't wait to see pics of Booboo and Tanya!

Cross post:

Update: Well my MO called me this afternoon. She said PET showed no uptake in liver or bones. To continue Ibrance/Letrozole. Appointment already with her Nov 25 and she said she would see me then. Processing and seeing what questions I have for her for the 25th.

Candy, no uptake sounds good, right? Congrats!

Hurray Candy!!!! i know it's disconcerting to have the back pain and and good scans. Just go with it . I/L has been working for you all this time. I'm guessing it's not bony pain your having but maybe like mine - I idon'thave any bone pain at all but my back sure hurts like hell.

candy~ same thing for me. I only Scan every nine months. Blood work more often. So I understand completely what you’re thinking and feeling Just carry in your pocket the knowledge that right now your medicine is working. Don’t think outside of that thought. Take it in blocks. Yes we are still fighting cancer, but it’s dormant right now and stable is a lovely word to hear. Just let your feelings be what they are. There is no blue print to go through this. I think you should feel confident as well. They do this everyday and I don’t think they would take chances with a stage four patient. Give yourself a break. I have. There is nothing we can do but often to our bodies. Yes it’s the medicine that makes you feel so lousy. I have the same issue for sure.

Hello everyone. This is MuddlingThrough's son. I'm logging in here at her behest to let you all know that she passed away due to her cancer on the morning of Monday, November 11th. Like her screenname says, our family are now the ones muddling through, but just like we were for her, we're all here for each other for support. I truly appreciate that she was able to discuss her situation with everyone here in this forum over the last few years, and I know it brought her comfort to know she was not alone in her fight. I wish all of you the best for your continued battles with this awful affliction.

Muddlings son, thanks for letting us know. Our thoughts are with you all now. Xx

Dear Muddling ‘s Son, Thank you for letting us know your mom is at peace now. Wishing comfort and good memories to you and your family. 💕

Dear “Muddlings” Family,

My heart is heavy to learn of your sweet Mother’s passing. May God surround you all with comfort and love in the coming days as you celebrate her life. She was a special lady who we all loved and admired. God bless

dear muddling son and family,

My deepest condolences for your loss. We all loved muddlingthrough. Her screen name touched my heart the moment I first saw it, because it made so much sense to me. MBC is a bizarro journey and what else can we do but muddle through it and do the best we can? Your mom was one of the first people to respond to me on these boards and she brought comfort and the feeling of being heard and understood into my heart during a very difficult time. I know she loved her family and husband very very much and appreciated to no end the love and support you provided her with.

May she Rest In Peace 💛 💛
