please help

Oops, had a double post again.  I hate it when that happens!

AND THE WINNER IS...........................SUE!!! LOL.

2 down, yippee!!!  You crack me up!!  I can just picture you sitting there giving everyone hell - including that nasty bootface.

I'm at work so I'll check in when I get home.

I'm proud of you!!!

Hugs to all,

Valerie

You brighten my day even when you've just returned from chemo and I should be brightening yours!



Ding ding, round two! Who would have thunk it! Only you, Sue.



I'll check back, but just wanted to be sure you're ok.



Sorry your surgeon said that, twas a tad insensitive to say the least.



Enjoy your tea! (or it is coffee, I don't know which cuppa stands for).



I just had my green jasmine tea. Love it's taste.

Hi Sue! Treatment #2 got a hold of me faster than treatment one did. I wish they hadn't mess with your steroids. Not being able to sleep beats feeling nauseous and sick. I know this sucks so bad. But hang on Sue. Sometimes you have to go through hell to get to heaven.

I can't believe your onc said that about you breast pain. Yes , go see your gp and let him/her check it out. Do you have more anti-nausea drugs? I do hope you can take some and feel better.

I'm gonna go get a cuppa...

NO..do not work tomorrow...I think that may be part of your problem...is you are not getting enough rest.  Rest is crucial to recovery..think of what you are putting your body through with your tx's?  With that, rest, sleep, recovery is ever so important.  Please...give yourself that ...please rest..work will be there when you are ready!

Good girl!! Yes...stay home..take care of yourself. Do you have anyone to come over and give you some help?  That is what I did for day's 3 &4..they were my "bad"days...so someone came to take care of me..mostly bring me drinks, some food, etc.

You rest!!  That does my heart good!

Shirlann...sorry about your poor little kitty!  I wish I could help, but I really don't know anything about it, especially in kittens.  Did the vet say how long it took before it would be gone?

I hope our Sue is ready for bed....Night dear Sue.

xoxo

Ulla, I am so sorry that you have been feeling low.  Your onc is right, and I suppose she is being angry because she wants the best for you, but medical professionals should get their message across in a patient way.  They are dealing with sick people after all, even though we might be striving to be normal.

I admit that from the outset I was going to work with the chemo, telling my body that the poisons it was taking in were going to be of benefit in the long run.  But I had such a horrid time that no one had to tell me to rest, I was in such discomfort, I could barely do anything.  Wuss or what?

Sue, I read that you are not so well this tx.  I was hoping you would be okay, but reading your posts you are poleaxed by this one.  I think you will be joining us on the board today and not going to work.  I can't believe you said "pull a sickie." (ROFL) That has so many levels I don't know where to begin.  "Pulling a sickie" has the mental image of colleagues saying "Oh Yeah - whatever!" when they hear you are off work sick.  "Bet she's off around the Trafford Centre getting her Christmas shopping in."  I think, perhaps, in this case they might JUST understand the real situation.

Much love everyone

Valerie S
