Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Yay Jeana! Great news!!! I love it when people post good news, though of course I don't mind when people post bad news either. Though a needle in the cyst does sound rather painful. Reminds me of my biopsy. Yuck. Best of luck and lots of " shrinking " vibes. I forget if you said you were overweight or not (so many people were discussing that I lose track with my poor overwrought chemo brain) but if you are, you can use some of the shrinking vibes for your general body size, too.

I am creeping back up there and this time I can't blame it on drugs. I'm not on any weight-gain causing drugs at the moment except for cookies and chocolate bars. Although tamoxifen, which I will start this spring, is known for weight gain. Alas. Zen buddhas have big bellies and shaved heads and no breasts, so perhaps I will aim to be like one of them.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Just remember; weight gain is better than becomine skin and bones which happens to some people. My dad wasted away so much (liver cancer) that I could almost pick him up. I much prefer gaining the weight I have gained to looking at myself in the mirror and wondering why I can't keep " the meat on my bones " . A friend yesterday told us she had just finished her tamoxifen and asked her oncologist... " now what am I going to have to blame my weight on because I understand I will probably lose the weight I gained with the T.?

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 Good advice, Doris. As I just said in a post about worrying about post-op pain, I have a tendency to pick the little things to worry about (pain that will go away soon, weight gain that can also go away) so I don't worry about the big things (is my cancer coming back, will it kill me, etc). But I can spare you all and try to worry more in private! Jill p.s.The ten pounds I gained from the anti-depressant for the steroid-induced depression came off as soon as I stopped taking it. Then they came right back because I have been anxious about my surgery and whether my cancer has spread to my lungs and have been eating a pound of chocolate or a box of cookies a night for a week now. Now I *suppose* I could blame that weight gain on cancer because I wouldn't be so anxious if I didn't have bc, but I didn't notice any cancer cells leaving my body and force-feeding me junk food against my will!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 That's the whole problem, Jeana! There is becoming too much Jill in the world. I liked it when I was a svelte little Jill. I'm short. If I keep gaining weight at this rate soon I will topple over if a bird poops on my head.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 Jill, you can post big or little things...we can take it...remember we are survivors and we can cope. I have been a real b*tch a couple of times this week...had problem at the bank...they had put my son's account so that it was on our ATM card and he could have gotten our money if he had known or had noticed. Thank goodness he did not. I was furious...took 3 visits to the bank to get it straight. Then I went to another bank to deposit some money for our affiliate and the teller kept trying to give me the wrong deposit slip. I tell my family all the time, " today I am a b*tch so don't push me about anything. " My friends love it when they hear me say that because then they try to think of ways to " unb*itch " me! > > > >Thanks Jill I need all the shrinking power I can get. > > > > > > Save some for me, Jeanna!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 I got you beat, Doris. Years ago when my daughter was a baby I took her to a different branch library from the one we usually go to and had a problem with my library card so they wouldn't let me check out a book. I actually yelled the " f " word at the poor little old white-haired librarian! I telephoned the minute I got home to apologize, but that must have been ten years ago and I haven't gone back to that particular library branch since.
