Faslodex bruise

Sometimes I don't bruise from it. Sometimes only one side bruises. I can feel lumps in both hips from the injections but only my left has a bruise. It's the side that hurt the most when it was being injected.

I need to make more positive posts...

"I’d so love to have a magic wand and wave everyone’s fears away.  I can’t do that, but I can tell you that by focussing only on the positives, it has driven my fear away and given me my life back.   Life is for living, not fearing the tomorrows."

Faslodex & port flush

It was taco Tuesday! :)  I go for chicken tacos after my injections.

I had my port flushed & blood drawn. The nurse and I had a good laugh after she asked if I needed the numbing spray. I told her no, that I used to have it but once it didn't and found out it wasn't so bad. Didn't even feel her poke.

I did feel her poke me in the butt/hip muscle. This time the left side hurt worse. 

All over until the 31st.

Journal entry Nov. 1, 2012

Haven't written much lately. Each time is a repeat of the time before. Chemo on Mon.--feel ok. Tues.--a bit yuckier, Neulasta injection-bones ache Tues pm to Thurs.

Wed.--worst day

Thurs.--starting to recover

Fri.--

Biotene for dry mouth is disgusting. Like squirting warm spit into my mouth.

So far things taste ok. Chicken tacos tomorrow!

Upcoming events

Yesterday I joined the health club/gym/workout place/ whatever it's called. Occasionally they offer scholarships and I saw they were doing it now. I printed out the application, grabbed a copy of my tax return & the letter from SS about my disability benefits. They approved it while I was there. Yay! So I'll pay $19/month instead of $38 & no application fee. I'm hoping to be motivated more if I have a place to go. I joined once before to swim laps but they have 3 lanes & inconvenient pool times so I ended my membership.

I hope they have a punching bag... ;-)

In August I get to have TWO injections. Lucky me! Ha ha! I guess it's because it's a long month??? I also have a CT scan & bone scan coming up followed by a 

appointment with the oncologist. And, of course, more PT for the arms but hopefully no ER visits!

My post from 7/21/16

The friend that I posted about died this morning at home. I am heartbroken.

We saw her just yesterday and she had gone downhill since the 21st. She was in bed, tried to open her eyes, tried to talk. I'm glad I got to see her but I'm devastated that she was trying so hard to talk & couldn't. I am so very sad.

Positive

Though "we may not live to see the glory," as the song from the musical Hamilton goes, "let us gladly join the fight."

Let our legacy be about "planting seeds in a garden you never get to see."

That's why we're here...not just in this hall, but on this Earth.
