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

What great news Candy! Time for a treat!

Mel - who knew you were an artist! What a lovely painting. Can’t wait to see more…..

Candy my brother drove. I am sure the bus could take me there as well. It was enjoyable as well. Just chilling out with housework and meals today.

candy: excellent news. Stable and now a decrease. YAY!

mel: that painting is excellent

Moth-That's horrible news. Really sorry to hear it.

Moth~ I hate cancer so much. That sucksbig time. Ihope they have an ace up their sleeves. They have to. Sending you hugs and thoughts.

Moth- I am so sorry for the progression. Cancer does suck big time. Our lives are like a roller coaster of ups and downs. May the new treatment set you on the track for hopeful results. A virtual hug is sent your way.

Moth, I am so sorry about your news. I am hoping this will be kinder on your body and help bring you to stability.

Candy, great news to hear indeed, great test results.

Well, looks like there is a new wellness check call for me. She sounds like a nice lady, she talks a lot so I will work to keep our conversations short. Keeping these calls professional. Told SIL that I will not text while having calls. We will see how it goes

Moth, we Mods are sending love to you also. So sorry to hear about the progression, but hoping for some changes with your next line of treatment.

Mae, How are you doing? I hope that the pain and other SEs from the spinal tap have been resolved. When do you expect to get results?

Moth, I am sorry that you received such disappointing news. It is always hard to learn of progression, and I know you have been doing everything you can to stop mbc from spreading. Unfortunately, the disease’s future path is not easily seen or understood, and there are as yet unknown variables in individuals and cancer. I hope your next treatment yields excellent results with few or no SEs.

Candy, WOOHOO for shrinkage. I am doing the happy dance for you. It is important for us to learn bad news from posters, but it is just as important to hear the good news. We are here to support everyone.

I started cycle 6 of Ixempra today. Scans show that Mets in spleen and bones are stable. Liver Mets show some progression, but since I feel good, liver numbers look good, and TMs dropped significantly then leveled off, we are sticking to Ixempra for now. If TM results look.bad when we see them in a couple of days, we can discuss.

Hello to everyone here. I have not been posting lately, but I think of all of you often.

Hugs and prayers from, Lynne

oh Kikomoon! I am sending many hugs and thoughts of support. I so hope you stop having double vision. I'll be keeping you close in heart.

Hi. 50'sgirl. Always a pleasure to see you here I hope your Tms stays steady. Good news stable for some things bone and spleen. Sending hugs.

Candy~ ty for keeping track. Sweet woman!

Hi all, I’ve just caught up, I think.

Micmel, great painting

Candy, yay for shrinkage

Moth, I’m sorry your having progression, I hope the new chemo kicks butt.

Kikomoon, damn, I’m sorry, the ER sucks, hopefully this is a weird SE that can be corrected.

I was back in the ER yesterday for pain again but discharged me a couple of hours ago with new pain meds, muscle relaxers and an acupuncture session in my room, which was odd but helpful. Also, just got the lumbar puncture results, no malignant cells found. Hopefully that’s good enough to stop looking for lepto right now and just move on to the treatment change. Happy to be back at the hotel but I was kind of excited for dinner at the hospital, lol. MDA has good food. Last night I had apricot stuffed herb chicken with fingerling potatoes and broccoli, breakfast was scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage and an English muffin and lunch was s grilled chicken Cesar salad. Tonight was going to be Cajun baked redfish with rice and roasted veggies.

I am a bit tired though, so off to bed early, goodnight 🙂

Mae - lol on the hospital food! We have to make the best of this shit stew I guess. We couldn’t even get the vending machines to work here and anyways they are out of water! And Gatorade. Am I asking for too much. Someone saw my mom and DH looking desperately for food and let them go in the nurses’ area for some working vending machines

I would probably be almost back from Houston by now had we gone. but I’m still sitting in the ER here!!! Ridiculous. I had a cat scan of the head which was normal. Now waiting FOREVER for the brain MRI. I’m like do y’all have to call the imaging team in from home or something?

Happy birthday, Me! I think you will be around to celebrate many mote

Happy belated birthday micmel .

illimae , glad you are going home. The food at MDA sounds more like you would get at a restaurant, small pleasures amonst the angst.

kikomoon, hope you are out of ER now.

moth, I am sad to hear you have had progression. Wishing you that silver bullet with the next lot of meds
