Thank you Stu.Sorry to read this news and catching on to this thread so late. I really hoping for the best outcome... cancer sucks, so kick its ass.
Keep fighting!
A very nice tip at that. Thank you!Some get well wang for sasser! (well, just the tip)
My Palliative care nurse called yesterday to check on me and said "how do you feel your anxiety is? I immediately started bawling. Her reply. "That good huh?"View attachment 2249730
Stay strong, stay encouraged, you will persevere and you will overcome
Yes, it is. I go in today at noon. Great memory Dee. I will come post when I get home.Is it today that youβre meeting with the oncology team? Do let us know what theyβre saying!
We're all thinking of your today. (thanks to Dee!)Yes, it is. I go in today at noon. Great memory Dee. I will come post when I get home.
Explain βportβ please?haha when you posted Jox. I was just starting my appointment.
Today was basically to meet a closer Oncology team and get his opinion on surgery first or chemo first. My previous Oncologist wants to do surgery first. This Doctor agreed. He told me what Chemo meds I will be taking when I am healed from Surgery, and they will be pretty aggressive. This one said to expect to lose my hair (the other one said it would just thin) So, next I set up an appointment to see him around Sept for a check up and see if I am ready to start chemo. Also, to get my port. He said I can get it any time. But honestly. I don't want it this early. So, I will wait. He said I didn't need it until around August. So, no rush.
Overall. It was fairly quick. He seemed very nice and easy to talk to. I really miss seeing peoples faces though.
You will get through thisThank you Stu.

Letβs not underestimate the inspirational dick pics though..Sending universal energy and strength to you Sasser!
(probably more effective than dick pics!)
So surgery first then. When are you going to do it?haha when you posted Jox. I was just starting my appointment.

Damn straight.You will get through this
This is a port, and what it looks like after they insert it under your skin. They place it because you end up with so many pokes that this makes it easier. It is injected under the skin and goes to a big vein so if they need to administer chemo or blood draws, they can just use the port.
Thank you, hope it wasnβt crass for me to ask.This is a port, and what it looks like after they insert it under your skin.

well, if the sasser requests more, iβm sure weβll accommodate!Letβs not underestimate the inspirational dick pics though..
FUCK!!! Just looking at that shit reminds me of my friend having that done to her.This is a port, and what it looks like after they insert it under your skin.

She told me that it hurt like a mother fucker putting it in.
My current surgeon is on vacation, so they are trying to get me on the books for when he comes back. When he left, I was doing Chemo first. But they also reached out to one of his colleagues to see if he can get me in sooner. But truthfully, I want the one I Met with. He's done a ton of these surgeries and is also considered one of the best around.So surgery first then. When are you going to do it?
Well, that would be better to inform of Palliative care that dicks work better than deep breathing to calm the anxiety.Can't you just inform them that with all the dicks you've been sent, you have your own version of a port? No?
Trust me, I'm a doctor. I think they're a great idea to get fluid inside you quickly and repeatedly... Okay, it's mean we're on about - maybe not repeatedly but certainly quickly.
Not at all. Ask any questions you want. That is why I am posting here. With the breast cancer. My thought was "If it helps just one person go in and get a mammogram. I did what I wanted." This cancer. There is no screening for. Most don't find it until it is already stage 4 and then it is too late. So, all I can really say is to pay attention the random aches and pains in your body. I had a lot of abdominal pain.Thank you, hope it wasnβt crass for me to ask.

Yes. I have heard this. One of my closest friends had one. When I had breast cancer. I thankfully escaped Chemo.FUCK!!! Just looking at that shit reminds me of my friend having that done to her.
That looks painful as all hell.
She told me that it hurt like a mother fucker putting it in.
It's okay. I need the reality too. I don't want anyone to tell me this fight will be easy, because I know it won't.Nice way to calm the nerves!
I'm just glad you check in still. And yes. You can message me any time you like. I'm always happy to hear from you. I'm extremely grateful for all those years of interacting.So much to catch up on and sending all of the good vibes that I can to you, Sassy! Teach me to not take a month (or longer) away from Lit. Wishing the very best and will have to do my best to contribute to making you smile! I was thinking about this the other day and it's been 15 years since I joined and we've been interacting or flowing through the same circles. It's flown by but always seeing you and knowing I can shoot you a message or chat on threads has always made my days so much better! Can't wait for you to kick this cancer's ass! #FuckCancer
