TMI vs Catharsis: Don't read, just post....
 

You know those months when you wonder if someone didn't just stuck a blender up there and let rip? Mmmmhh Hmmmm

hmm 31 reads and no posts, you nosy lot. I told you it was TMI..... don't say you weren't warned!

yup - TMI.

Well, fuck it...I had the same thing happen to me this month, monnie. My doc says I'm a number of years from perimenopause but I think he's full of crap.

My breast-cancer friend is very very scared and her fucking doctors lied to her up until this point about how bad it was going to be post surgery -complete numbness in the arm and chest-wall..... up until now she'd just been told some nerve damage was a possibility...... fuskshits

Ugghhh Fuck Cancer! <hugs> to you and your friend

Fuck Cancer!

(she loved the latest lolcancerpatient). But i fucking hate DOCTORS WHO LIE

Hugs to your pal, monnie.

All my docs lied, too. LIED and DENIED. ex, "No...you're not in pain..." and lies by omission (mostly that kind) re: "Oh. Yeah. I didn't mention you would go thru menopause? Oh."

complete fucksticks.

yeah -they told her she would go through menopause, and now it apears she may still get periods again....WTF????!!!?!

Yeah, happened to me, too. I get to go thru it TWICE! Truly, I am blessed. :rolleyes: but I should quitmybitchin. I'm alive. got two boobs. Not everyone can say that, right?

sorry, i seem to be spreading this cancer crap all over the board. seems like posts about cancer are as insidious as the disease itself -look another fucking tumor in a thread in Nothingland! It's no good, we'll have to shutdown the whole Nothingland area and rip any fluff out of Homebase too, to be sure. And let's inject it full of PD trolls to be really really sure we take all the fun out of it.....

now that was cathartic :lol:

:lol: chemo for the cellar!

PD trolls, the new chemotherapy

out of the darkness......

Catharsis is good for the soul. It's the ultimate in 'getting it off your chest' and that's important.

I've had a few of those myself recently, and without them I'd still be about 10 steps behind where I need to be.

Cancer sux. I'm sorry for your friend too monster. The docs didn't want to tell Mum the truth about her cancer either. When my brother and I confronted them about it, they said that if they tell people how long they've got, that's usually how long they last.

Apparently the implication is that the brain is a lot more powerful than we give it credit for. Either that or the doctors know everything.

I know which one I believe.

My other friend with breast cancer who is very very terminal has been getting six-month or less sentences for the last 6 years. She'd come for lunch with no hair and say "well they said I've got 6 month but there's this one new drug I can try...." Last year she got another 6 monther and moved to Cali to be near her family for when the time came.

At the beginning of summer we got an email from her sister -she broke her leg and they couldn't operate because they found the cancer was in her lungs (it was already pretty much everywhere else and she's been on chemo all the time I've known her.) Well anyway, they sent her home to die in May and gave her 3 weeks. she's still going. i hope her quality of life is still good. She never got down about it that we saw.

Side effect of Tamoxifen, I believe.

Menopause AND periods, damn, that sounds unfair.

[Thinks positively about Y-chromosome].

I'm not on Tamoxifen.

i'm just one lucky gal.
