Chemo Update - Page 3

TheMercenary · 01-11-2008, 10:16 AM

Hang in there woman! One day at a time eh?

Wishing you the best in your recovery.

Sundae · 01-25-2008, 07:54 AM

Update please Bri.
I've read that you're bald, puking, despairing of never having sex again and drinking too much. Is that pretty much an update?

Don't worry, you sound like Yul Brynner after a heavy night and I'm sure he got sex. If not, don't fret too much, there are other options. Like DIY, then go round giving everyone stink finger all day. Or I've heard rohypnol can be quite good?

Seriously, I am getting myself and my life into shape girl. Once I come off these anti-depressants I intend to whore myself out to medical science and then I'm have the plane fare to come over and sort you out. You have been warned. More likely I will also end up bald and puking as I drunkenly persuade you to shave me in a spirit of sisterly solidarity...

Any time you feel down, just think of me struggling to lose weight, stay off the booze and not snort with laughter in AA meetings when people talk about how God sent them visual hallucinations to stop them drinking (he's got a weird sense of humour) and really you got off lightly with just a little bit of cancer. And then think of my thinner and fitter and stronger and a militant teetotaller headed for your door, and realise things could be worse

I want to pour olive oil over that bald head, and rub it all over my body...

for starters...

Yul was sexy! And I'm sure you are too! Hey, they make great scraves. You can be the Cellar fashionista!

Trilby · 01-26-2008, 07:40 AM

the good news is my tumor IS shrinking! I can barely feel it--it's gone from, like, lime-size to pecan-sized! the A/C is working! YAY! I've also only got two more treatments left. After that, they wait a month or so to let your body recoup a bit then do surgery THEN radiation, which I will refuse to do. After surgery, Im done with it all. I can't go thru any more bullshit and rad. is five days a week for months---forget it.

anyway, tho I'm tired, I am feeling better. thanks for all the good vibes, great posts and best wishes. you all have been great thru this! *hugs* to you all!!!

SA-WEET!

And you could STILL crush it under your heel if it was outside your body, which it soon will be, this fucker has totally FAILED to take over and you are gonna crush it like a bug.

TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!

You've got the upper hand, keep going hard on the bugger until it is finished. Yay yay YAY!

Congratulations on the chemo.

Don't worry about side effects. I've dated women who didn't have any hair (alopecia) and had a lot of fun. Sexual attraction has a lot of factors. Once you get your equilibrium back, I'm sure you will rediscover your 'inner babeness' and everything will be cool.

BTW, if you do see a guy looking at you, just walk up to him, look him in the eye, lean over and whisper in his ear "It's not just my head that's bald".

At the very least, it would be fun to see the reaction.

Clodfobble · 01-26-2008, 10:05 AM

Hooray Brianna!!

Wheeeeee!!! Great news!!!

monster · 01-26-2008, 11:49 AM

Fantastic! I'm so happy

xoxoxoBruce · 01-26-2008, 12:34 PM

This is second hand information, but I work with a lot of people going through treatment. They tell me the radiation is a walk in the park compared to the chemo. The hardest part was finding a parking spot at the radiation place, but it was so quick and painless they could double park in a pinch.

You go girl!

Woo fucking hoo!
