Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS :  Others see you as someone they should 'handle with care.'  You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant.  Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS : Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure.   They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS :  Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS :  Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical.  They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest.  Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return.  Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS:  Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.  They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.  It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then , usually decide against it.  They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS:  People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything!  They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist.  Some people e think you' re boring.  Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Now forward this to others, and put your score in the subject box of your e-mail, like this:  Dr. Phil's Test, I'm a  '(fill in the blank)'

Thanks AE...I am just now finishing up here.  I am leaving in a few minutes.  That will be about 40 minutes early!!  Long day...11hrs..is long.  Leg just started bleeding again.  I put more antiseptic ointment and a bandaid on it.

I will...bye!!

Bah, I just lost my whole text box. That's annoying. Is okay but maybe I won't be so wordy this time.

Ulla I will not be sharing your anniversary last tx with you as I went to cancer clinic to get bloodwork done today and they took one look at me and said, no chemo for your tomorrow. I started to cry because I feel and have felt so awful. The taxotere has not been good to me at all. They sent me off for bloodwork regardless but feel that I am allergic to the taxotere and should not have another one of those. I will have to see the onc first to see if he wants to give me another FEC instead.

  SO they phone me later and I have appt with onc on Tuesday. They only have two here and mine is away...so it is a new guy. But they are concerned because my liver counts are way out of whack. My white counts are fine, but they wanted to know if I had been doing any herbals or anything which I have not. My in depth blood test were just fine about 6 weeks ago. They state that chemo does not cause liver issues as a rule. Of course I didn't have the presence of mind to ask what do you mean "out of whack" nor did I have the presence of mind to ask if this may indicate mets. I have had pain and bloating in my upper abdomen for a couple of days, I thought it was my ongoing constipation issues so resolved that (I WAS constipated) but the bloated and pain feelings really did not go away.

SO armed with no accurate information - I am seeking out answers to liver mets signs and symptoms. Well of course, they are bloating and pain as I described... and I find myself in my mind at the beginning and on hold. Waiting to find out what is wrong and what it will mean. I will have more blood taken on Tuesday, then I will talk to the oncologist to find out what the "new plan" is - that is what the nurse said. I may have to phone the clinic tomorrow and see if there is a possibility that it is mets... Cos I don't know if I can wait till Tuesday. But then -  am also afraid to phone and ask and may wait till Tuesday after all. I am going to stay with a friend on the weekend cos she is tired of me going through all of this alone as well.

  I was scheduled for rad oncologist on the 15th of Feb Ulla, so we are very close indeed. I don't know what this new thing will mean though so again.. on hold. I HATE IT ALL.

  I am glad you are through the red devil though Sue. Like Ulla I had the FEC... I too wonder about the combination. However, it is what it is and I guess whatever this liver stuff is.. it is too.

Light and Love to everyone!!!! Cross your fingers for me.

Karyll

I am 32 on the quiz. Modest? Modest? that was the old me maybe, now I lift my shirt for anyone that wants a look... LOL....

Karyll

Oh, dear sisters - so many of you are going through hard times. Sue with this last, very cruel red devil; Ulla with your next chemo on Friday and dreading it (but so good that it is the last one! Congratulations - you rock, girl!); Karyll, I just hate to think that you have to wait until next Tuesday, feeling like crap and with all sorts of fears whirling around in your mind - I so wish I could give you a hug right now; Karen, still one more chemo and then your bladder surgery - as if chemo and rads aren't enough! Lisa, injured leg and surgery coming up - you need some pampering and TLC  (that goes for everyone here!);,Angie, just starting your treatments - so glad you have joined us, Mia, still in treatment - please post again and let us know how you are; Val with mets...(has anyone heard how she is?) and anyone else who is having a rough time - sending you all my warmest and most loving thoughts and praying for you. Thanks for the quiz Ulla - mine was 46. I love doing quizzes.

hugs,

gb 

dear karyll..

am out of words really..wat can i say to make u feel lil bit better with this horrable waiting time till tuesday???

i was thinking about the signs and symptoms u had with taxotere..

i phoned my sister in UK (she is  a doc,)..

i asked her about liver met. signs ,,,..

i felt better that she said the most common is to vomit (just similar to food poisonning signs and symptoms)she said that there will be clear abdomenal pain ,,,not just bloating,,,,

she said that the signs that u described r most look like allergy more than mets,,,

thats why they keep doing those tests for the blood (to c the liver and kidney andetc,,,function )with taxotere as it affects its work....

beside that when i remember the lady that i have met in the hospital in my last treatment and i told u about her bad luck of liver mets ,,,told me that she felt exactly like my sister said (food poisonning signs..throwing up and abdomenal pain)

i hope i can help more but this all wat i could have about ur signs...

i asked my cancer nurse also for u she said that it is closer to be taxoter allergy ....am crossing my fingers for u dear karyll..

i hate waiting too...hopping that it will come all well....

wat can i say more????????

i will keep praying for u ....

huggs sister,,,

dear sue i started to take my steroids today mornning ..preparing myself mentally and physically for the next poisonning time tomorrow ...

i hope u feel better today....

i feel happy that u loved the quiz...

and more happy to know that we scored so close,,,it explains why we r feeling each other like we doo..

love u alllllll
