Stay positive. It will take their breath away."
And on an optimistic note, this week Ibrance is to be delivered to our doorstep. It is a pill generally taken orally along with a hormone inhibitor. I have read that it costs $10,000 for a one month supply, but I am hoping that is an unsubstantiated rumor. Yeah, yeah, there are those nasty little side effects, but look at it this way, those tumors may not get bigger anytime soon with pricey meds on board!
At this site on one of the community forums at "breast cancer", I spent several days reading through, actually skimming, over 14,000 messages on one board alone. About anything you could ever question has been addressed by one person or another in this one thread about BC bone metastasis. And that is just one thread of conversations covering almost 135,000 topics. It is amazing how many competent people, mostly women, are in charge of their health care.
Simply filling in the information on the profile site took me a while. It was worth the time to complete the profiling because now I have specific email updates on news relating to individual diagnoses sent to me by email. Of course, if you are only a lurker and not an overachiever trying to be on top of it all, you can skip the emails and enjoy your latest Big Bang Theory episode, if that is your fancy, and just check in every few months on medical updates. Obsessiveness comes in all shapes and sizes other than fretting over one's health; my personal favorite ocd activity is blowing dead leaves off the patio. At least that is an activity that can be controlled by hot air (not touching politics)!
Leaving you with this beautiful song...
