BuckeyeShelby

Hi there! remembering all your kind posts and wondering about a time line....I am beginning to see the beginnings of peach fuzz....So tell me, lady.....have you dumped the hats yet? Just wondering...
Be well and joyful,
Lynn

Hi Shelby.....I wanted to tell you that I love your posts. Cancer has its serious side, and the not so serious. I love your posts. You brighten my day.

hi Shelby...also grew up here in Bellbrook but have been in Xenia for several years. Nice to meet you and hope you're doing well! Unfortunately mine's back, and I'm starting chemo again on Monday. I need all the support I can get!

Shelby, you mentioned you work for the insurance entities. I have always had medical insurance with Health net now the school district I work for will be switching to blue shield of California as of July 1. I have tis pre-existing condition and even though I have never had a laps in coverage can they still deny me or make me wait 6 months to 12 months before they will cover anything for me?

Is this the question tab you are speaking of?

Shelby, thanks for your comment about D.O.s. I would prefer an M.D. but hate to reject this dr. before even meeting him. I'll see whether he seems reasonable about the Tamoxifen etc.

Thanks for welcoming me so kindly!!

thanks for your note. I have a great doctor now whom I see once a year.

Thanx....I am not alone......and its ok to rantand rave....is it ok to kick and scream too?

I just wanted to say I love your sense of humor have a great day

Hello! from bemidji, mn. I hope you are fine, just wanted to say hi! It is opener tonight at midnight so town is a little nuts with all the fisher people coming to fish, and we still have ice on the lakes! Take care!

I believe this is the worst I have felt in a while...doesthis feeling get worse after each rounnd of chemo or does it get better?

It's interesting to read about ca numbers and tests. You sound like such a pro. Once I start my chemo I can hopefully decipher this stuff. At least I can tell you are doing great!

Good results from doctors yesterday - CT scan and CA 125 were both very good! Next CT is in October.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I will try and not stress but as you know that's alot easier said then done.

Hi Buckeyeshelby, i do have a question about your cancer. did you have any symptoms. i will be going for a d/c along with a heterscope and biopsy a little nervous but been through this one before.

Dear BuckeyeShelby, how are you? I hope just fine, and feeling well. I am into one week of chemo. I dont like how I feel but I am grateful that there is something that can help me. God Bless.

Hello again Shelby, Im just kinda figuring out how to do this page or site. I have to have my daughter help me. Times have sure changed, our kids are smarter than us! I just found out that I will be losing my hair during the stem cell transplant! Darn! My kids told me I might have enough that wont fall out and I can do a comb over! take care, God Bless.

I have to ask.... Is Shelby your last name? It is my maiden name. :0)

Thanks for the welcome... I grew up outside of Columbus, Ohio and lived in Ohio until about 15 years ago, when I moved to Colorado. Miss the green of the east, but love the Mts. of the West.

I do meditate, breathe and all that stuff and find it helpful for the emotional side effects of the white coat syndrome. Unfortunately a high bp is a side effect of the steriods (which as you know we have to have to counteract the side effects of the chemo itself) is a bit hard to visual away. I can't fix this one. THEY have to. By the way, I know I'm anxious. I keep telling my health care providers I'm NEW at this. THEY know what's coming coming next in terms of treatment. I, on the other hand do NOT and need a bit of temporary chemical help so I can function and have a life during this. Know what I mean:-) I think I'm upset because this disease and it's treatment is taking over my life. Know wha I mean?

Hi! I read that you get bad bone & muscle pain. I am so sorry. I do too and am wondering what your doctor gives you that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. I hope and pray that your treatment will be successful.

I saw your post on my wall and wanted to say thanks. My surgery went well and I am back home recovering. The surgeon said the cancer looked to be localized and he got it all. I go next Thursday for my post op follow-up and will get my path results. Keeping my fingers crossed. Hope all is going well for you on your journey!!

Hey, I don't want to brag or anything...ok...yes I do

I'm going to Massage Envy tonight after work and getting a 1 hour massage!!! AHHHHH YEAH!!!!

HEY....I'm check my page in a few minutes. I found a hat at my desk to try out.

Just wanted you to be the first to know that I sadly retired the frog hat. We should meet once per week to discuss any emotional difficulties you may have with this. I know they two of you were close....we shall adjust together!!

Thanks BuckeyeShelby for your input on my question about job hunting and bankruptcy. You all made me feel better. kimg09

Thanks so much for your good information. I sure hope you will feel better soon. It sounds like you have been through a lot. Have a great day.

Hi Shelby, I was thinking about you today and hope you are doing well. The side effects from my last round of chemo kicked my butt, and I am hoping you are fairing better than I did last week! I'm thinking good thoughts for you, and hope you are feel great quickly! Julie
