So glad to hear this, Choco! Hope all goes well with the specialist.
Again my sympathy, Jim.

Ach Jim, I do remember that picture. The last photo is terribly sad. I feel for you all on this.

So sorry about your kitty cat Jim. My thoughts are with you. xxx
Choco, glad you're feeling better about your Mum. She better hope that 'blockage' doesn't get loose in the mean time and decide to evacuate the premises or she's going to be in a world of pain. Poor old thing. I hope she's better soon. xxx

So frustrated. SO tired of being sick and tired. Still passing out on the sofa when exhaustion hits after work, except I have hours of academic work I should be doing every night. Sick of having sweats that soak through my clothes, followed by clammy chills. Sick of not being able to exercise and sick of my clothes not fitting. Sick of only dozing in fits and starts at night, waking in a panic trying to remember what I've forgotten to do. Sick of blurry vision and chemo brain.
I don't think I can face taking tamoxifen, which promises to worsen many of these things, along with other charming side effects. Sorry to whine. I will carry on. If I hadn't had a mental picture of March being the time when I'd be feeling better, back to the gym, on top of my classes, etc., I wouldn't be as frustrated. Have to remember: she who expects nothing shall not be disappointed.

sometimes just bitching [sharing] makes it a little better. I hope you feel better soon O.

Sorry ortho. I can't even imagine tackling everything you have on your plate right now. Is there anyone near you who can help you with anything, take anything off your plate no matter how small?

I'm sorry ... I shouldn't have pity-parties like this. I think I need a change of scenery. Maybe I'll go back to smalltown this weekend and see my second son. I should have enough energy for the drive.

Sorry Jim. It's hard to lose a pet and you had to lose this one twice.
@Ortho - it helps to have something (besides your health) to look forward to. That way you're not dependent on improvements to keep your attitude up.

ortho, hang in there. Us "overachievers" ned to stick together
 I'm fed up with being told that I expect too much. but at the same time I get told that my progress is so good because I expect so much.Thor's Academic Games coach has a wall display outside her classroom that says "Shoot for the moon. If you miss, you'll still land among the stars" True dat.
