Rib pain freak out

I've had progressively worse rib pain for the last couple of days. It's not in the normal area. The left side at the bottom of my rib cage is always a bit painful. That's a reminder of radiation. Scans have shown that I had a fracture on my right side at some point. The new pain is on the right side. I did fall over the weekend while going thru a door. I was trying to help an elderly dog get thru the door and our feet tangled. I didn't land hard or even on my side. I think Faslodex can weaken bones plus the radiation. My last scans were ok but any new pain causes panic. Not sure if I should go in or wait it out. Of course, I was just reading about rib pain on the internet & was getting worried.

Taco Tuesday

Now I've heard of castor oil but never actually seen it. Apparently it's the carrier for the medication in the Faslodex. So, I have never seen castor oil but I have certainly felt it being pushed into my muscle. My nurse is very sweet but I suspect she administers the drug too fast. I read it should take 1-2 minutes. She says it hurts her hand to push the syringe. Luckily today (or rather yesterday) we had to go into the bathroom where there are rails for me to grip onto as I try to relax the muscle. The chemo infusion area was so full there wasn't a room available. I wonder if people wonder what kind of treatment I'm getting when I go into the bathroom with the nurse.

Every month I come out of the cancer center all pissed off wanting to punch something or someone. Faslodex will do that to a person. The needle poke is one thing. Pain, ok fine. But the injection 250 mls of castor oil thickness makes me want to punch. And that's 250 in each side, hip above butt.

And then I come out dancing like in the ad:

McCain for the win

It's crazy that I'm awake at 1:45am watching the Senate vote on healthcare. But I'm not the only one. Twitter is alive with play by plays of the activity in the chamber. And people are tweeting "McCain votes NO!"

It's like we are watching overtime in a playoff game. 

Our president is a joke. The republicans are too drunk on the power to put a stop to the embarrassment who is destroying the country. This government does not represent me.

I love what he says about his spirit animal!

I've read several articles about battling cancer since John McCain was diagnosed. People say that we don't battle it. It's not like you can win against an army you can't see. On the other hand, I feel that every time I learn more about my cancer or get a good report on a scan I am saying f-you cancer! 

So, on to the spirit animal:
