Calling all ailing Mlers. Updates here!

Anyone with health or life difficulties, I want to know how you are doing.

Me: feeling amazing, like better than I have in months and months. Going back for more chemo on Friday. I'm sure it'll hit me harder and harder with each dose, but this short period of awesomeness makes me realize it's working. Also, my neck is symmetrical again! My hair is starting to fall out. I've got an appointment for a pixie cut on Tuesday.

[iamali]

I'm glad you're getting even little reprieves of amazingness. I'm pulling so hard for you stellas. I see things on Pinterest all the time that I want to send you b/c I think it'll at least bring a smile.

But then, I don't want to be a creeper, yo!

Love that you are feeling well! You will look cute with a pixie, but I am partial to those cuts, anyway.

I am feeling okay--taking daily sauna trips to zap spirochetes. Exercising when I feel that  I can. I am looking dead sexy today.

What's the timeline like for your treatment?

[spedrunner]

i just want to let all the wonderful ML'ers know that I am here for them and will gladly listen to them bitch bc you are ALL amazing and strong women and will get through these darker days

xoxo

You are going to look HOT with a pixie cut.

[venice2007]

Glad you are feeling ok!
Thoughts and prayers to you all!

Yay, stellas.

You should do a rat tail or something and take a photo before they cut it all off short.

I have a short reprieve from my ulnar neuropathy surgery. I suspect it's more of my doctor letting me get used to the idea rather than it being avoidable. We'll revisit it on the 24th of March.

I have an appointment with a new endocrinologist, but sadly couldn't get in to see him until the end of March. I'm just tired of being told I should be feeling better than I am since I'm taking meds for my hypothyroidism. I'm tired of not feeling like myself. Really tired of it. And my last doc was an ass so I'm really glad to be moving on from him. 

[elleblue]

Stellas - I'm really glad you're feeling better, that's very encouraging. 

[lightyears]

I'm glad you're doing well, Stellas. <3

Me: first surgery is on friday. I'm panicking a lot and fearful and very weepy.

Seeing an ENT tomorrow to investigate an enlarged cervical lymph node. cue more tears.

no. i don't plan on it. there wasn't really much of a case for negligence there. i don't really know what to do.

[miniroller]

Oh Stella's- WooHoooo! (for today @ least, but Still) Have to commend you on your excellent attitude!! And btw, know not the same, but, I just cut 4 inches off a couple of wks ago, & it is amazing how much easier my life seems. Again, you've so got this! (Added to my Fri prayer list)

[bonquiqui]

I'm so glad you are having a good day!

I am relapsing, so the fatigue is out of control, but I'm in good spirits. .

[natsnow]

Praying/good vibes for you all. Happy to hear good updates!

[txgrandma]

Stellas you'll have to post pics. You are so cute and will look amazing in a short cut.
Actually You Are Amazing! I pray if I am faced with this disease that I am as brave and strong as you have been.

I don't know what this is but I hope you recover soon.

I'm in the middle of a flare, so not doing so well. I'm hot, sweaty, freezing, itchy, red, peeling, and fatigued. It's hard to concentrate at work and I feel like I'm failing everyone. My eyes are starting to swell, so I just know I'm going to wake up with puffed eyes tomorrow. And I have like 4 back-to-back meetings.

ETA: Stellas, you are going to ROCK that pixie cut. I'm thinking JLaw style. Make it snazzy with hawt lipstick and earrings :-)

Oh, Stellas! I am so glad to hear you're feeling amazing. You've got SUCH a positive attitude about this, and I bet that's at least half the reason you're kicking cancer's ass.

we're almost surgery twins. A DAY APART. <3

[cleo29]

Glad to hear you on the upswing, Stellas

My iron levels were a little low, so I am taking a that now and my Vitamin D levels were low too, so taking more of that too in the hopes my fatigue will diminish. I still need to go in for the u/s to look at my gallbladder.

I think I missed something, what is happening?

You don't have to tell me but I really hope it all goes well.

Lightyears had a malignant thing on her cervix removed and is getting more removed now.

Ombiglo has serious essure side effects and period issues and is getting a partial hysterectomy? I think?

[spitforspat]

Sending vibes and positive thoughts to everyone in here.

[Marle]

Stella I'm so glad you are feeling well!

Try to do something with the kids tomorrow while you have energy before you go back for the next chemo.

Good luck Ombligo! I hope they are able to fix you up completely.

Good luck everyone else. I hope it all starts improving.
