Got vibes? I could use some.

Forums:

20fucking20. I got breast cancer.

It was found in November by a regular yearly screening mammogram, and then ultrasounds, a biopsy, and an MRI.
It’s a “good” kind; small, slow growing, hormone receptive, they said it should be pretty easy to treat with surgery, radiation and hormonal treatment (Tamoxifen).

I had surgery just before Christmas (a lumpectomy and 3 sentinel nodes excised) and everything was good except there was an unexpected teeny, tiny (1 cm.) bit of cancer in one of the lymph nodes that was removed. The wrench in the works; that tiny bit will be investigated for likelihood of recurrence and it’s possible that a toxic chemo may be suggested, but if so, I’ll have to really think about doing that.

I’m still healing, wishing I didn’t hurt, but that’s what happens after surgery.
It’s all a bit more complicated/involved than what I’ve written. I will gladly answer any questions.

So, I could use your good vibes, good juice, whatever you’ve got, some of what helped carry me through Greg’s cancer and PML. (He died 6 years ago, 1/5/2015.)
This shouldn’t kill me, it's just going to be a drag getting through it.

2021, better times.

p.s. by having a regular mammogram the cancer was found early and was small. Let the women in your life know not to postpone due to Covid or whatever might delay it.

Good vibes------We have plenty to send your way Now!

I'm so sorry to hear about this Judit, but it seems like you know what's going on and I believe knowledge is power.

I won't go on and on, but you know what Mrs. LCL has been through this year in terms of hospitals, etc, etc,

and we know what you're dealing with.

 

All the very best and I'm sure it's an extra hard anniversary this year of the passing of your partner.

Our hearts are with you.

 

 

Sorry to hear this Judit, glad they caught it early!  My mining buddy for the last 25 years had a lung biopsy for Cancer in mid Dec (god bless edibles).  (I got assaulted on Xmas eve, good times!)  

Hope you're not in too much pain, and are cancer free permanently!!!  

(((((Good vibes for admin, LCL duo, Noodler and mining buddy)))))

I have good juice pouring your way my friend , a flood of it in many  colors and flavors 

 

you are a warrior

with good juju  <> good karma.

 Yet it is true, that we are in human bodies

 It has now been 11 years for me since it visited my  body    It was indeed not my favorite year, but perhaps in some odd ways it was..

 But I'm still here kicking screaming and smiling

 

thank you for sharing   Please let me k ow if there is any way I can help    Even a ceremony or wild dancing or .... making art?

 

Hi Mo no from the shadows

Hey Now, Judit...

Sending good vibes your way,  Be well & heal quickly...  heart

Much Love, Dear Lady.

Stay strong Judit, we are all with you

Hey Judit, sorry to hear this.  Sending vibes and positive thoughts your way!  Remember music heals, speedy recovery!

Oh 2020 I thought you were over!   Sending big vibes to you Judit!

Dammmm ass'n fuck

Because of your once a year preventative maintenance, it sounds like you have this well under control - that's great news. 

Good doctors are a comfort, do what you have to do. You have a top notch support group here 24 hrs a day. I've been dealing with bc for the last 15 years with my wife, a sister in law, and most recently a niece.

This is but a temporary bump in the road -  You Can Do This ! 

Much Love To You judit

Not Fade Away

Much love and healing vibes to you, judit. My. Mom had a very similar diagnosis and round of recommended treatment in 2002 and has been more than fine ever since. Hang in there and stay strong. 

Best of luck Judit. 2021 is all about recovery so you have that on your side.

Judit, I am sending you all the vibes I can. I wish you strength and good health.

I like what JP just said. "2021 is all about recovery".  Strong healing vibes out to you Judit, and all those that need to heal. Grateful you were paying attention. Remembering Greg along with you today.

STAY STRONG, Judit. Love and heart strength to you.

So sorry you have to go through this. Such a drag, but good that you got this diagnosis early on..]

I was sad to hear your news, but glad you shared it out so some group energy can help you heal and feel supported.

It seems like you're on a good path for recovery ... and that's what I'll dedicate my thoughts to going forward.

Best wishes. I hope you continue to heal.

Best Wishes - sounds like you've avoided chemo which is really good. That's the real horror show.

The radiation is no fun but you'll get thru that.

My wife was diagnosed Feb. 2017 - we did the whole trip- chemo , surgery , radiation .

She survived and you will too.

So very sorry to hear that Judit. Sending love at you like you do by helping with the zone!!!

Hey. Do you have the GD and JG album boxsets with all the extra goodies!

If not, please let me share them with you so you can soothe your soul.

I'm the dude who had so much trouble contributing and finally got you a check.

Will send you an email as well.

Peace and love.

Dear very sweet people,

When I think of Zoners, you're who/what I think of.

To all of you who've had family and friends with cancer, you know how disconcerting, displacing, disorienting, disturbing, (so many more dis's) it can be. It's fucked up. It sucks. But when you have a support group like I do, on and off the black screen, it's a million times better. I am so grateful.
It's not just about cancer, it's about having your life feel threatened (Noodler, Christmas eve? shit), feeling the things one feels with chronic or acute illness, the exhaustion of it all, having no control, well, you know, right?

So I feel held by you. No matter what, your strength adds to mine, and we are formidable. Thank you. Love.

 

Here's a picture of Greg and me, maybe 1995.

Tom, I couldn't love this more:

Judit is kind but she's also one tough broad.

In a short time cancer will be saying, "Fuck Judit!"

 

Judit, so sorry to read about your situation, glad that you have started the process of getting healthy again. Sending you all my strongest, best healing good vibes!!!!

Wow, so sorry to read about your diagnosis.  Good to catch it early, and You Can Survive this!

And you will. 

Eat well, sleep well, think well.

If you need help with anything, let those of us who are somewhat close know!

Judit - Get well....please. - love, -jock

Positive Vibes and love to you!!!!

Shit Judit!   This sucks. 

I know very little about breast cancer but after living through three rounds with my parents of other types, I wish you all the best.   My coworker is now going through her second round of breast cancer and she and her husband were positive about it as they said there were alternate treatments with pills for mild chemo since breast cancer is estrogen based.   Again, I can't speak to these things but breast cancer may be better than some of the alternates.   She's in stage four and as I said, they are very positive about options. 

Go kick its ass!

(((((Sending you positive vibes))))) 

J, you are truly loved ❤ by all here. I am sending the biggest vibes possible your way.

Dear Judit --

I expect this will turn out to be just nothing to worry about,  however I'm glad you have great Medical care and are taking care of the situation.

Wishing you all the Best,  and keep a Positive Attitude.

Goddess Judit - glad you are in a good place and all these Vibes coming your way should bolster your defenses...

be well and get second opinions before you move forward if that is a viable option

PEACE

Another lurker checking in to Say if there is anything you need or anything I can do just ask, thoughts and prayers heading your way Judit!

All the best, Judit!

u got this

Yo Judit. I'm not around here as you know, but I dropped by for 4Winds...and then I saw this too.

Wish I could give you a big ol' hug. I last saw you at TXR with JohnnyD and others..it seems like "just" last year, but it was of course more like 4 or 5 years ago! I'm not very good about keeping in touch, but I just wanna say thank you for being you and being here.

Thinking about you and looking forward to seeing you again one of these days. Sending love your way...

Judith, Again I just fired up the black screen and I read this.

Hang in there and take care of business, We all know you have this beat before you even started.

Cancer is realizing it fucked with the wrong Gal.

I haven't met you yet and I am looking forward to see you in 3D and when I do I'm gonna grab me some titty.

Relax and rest.......You got this.

 

Power and peace dear lady

 

And I do mean "lady"

grace and compassion and conviction 

> I'm gonna grab me some titty.

Looks like we have ourselves an early contender for post of the year, and it's only half-past January.

I was going to suggest a banning for that.

It hit my mood, Mike. I told my sister and she said "ouch".

I've been in quite a bit of pain since the biopsy in mid November and it's not better yet, but between now and the time that Tim and I meet I think we've got time for healing.

Hope you are up for that music sometime and that you feel better soon!

Peace and love.

Sending much love to you, Judit. #fuckcancer 

Great news! NO CHEMO for me! Next is consult with Radiation Oncologist on Thursday. Yes, I will need radiation. And hormone therapy for 5 years since it's a hormone receptive cancer.

 

Thank you all for everything.

That's awesome Judit!  Sorry to hear about the post BX pain, hopefully the docs are fully aware of that.

Kick cancers ass, and keep on kicking it!

GREAT news, Judit. It's a good week already!  VERY happy for you. 

Been waiting for news like this. smiley

Eek- just noticed this thread- glad I was able to arrive with such positive news, Judit.

Awesome. Stay strong. Cheers! 

Excellent! Best to you in 2021 !!!  heart

Wonderful news! All the best to you Judit.

Kick it's ass Judit 

Just seeing this now Judit (see i really need to come back here more often)...wishing you the best my dear.

How've you been doing, Judit?   heart

Thanks for asking, Bob. It's been a bit rough in many ways. I've been tired, discouraged and depressed, not because of cancer, but because the incision the cancer was removed through hasn't healed yet (it's been 8 weeks) and since it's not healed I can't begin the process leading up to radiation. There was a buildup of fluid that was painful and has made the incision even slower to heal. Arghhhh.
I also developed lymphedema, another joy (that's sarcasm) requiring that I wear a compression sleeve and gauntlet. The good thing is that I caught it early and am seeing the best person in town who gave the me the knowledge and tools to go forward with. It's all a bit much. 

So, still in pain, still waiting. I was told yesterday that I'll be having 5-6 weeks of radiation, 5 days a week. I hope I got the number of days wrong, that sounds crazy but I guess it could be real. I just want to get through it. That's how things are right now, I just want to get through it.

I have appointment fatigue, I've been going to so many appointments even before radiation begins.

So that's how I am right now. The clock on my computer says it's 12:34, one of my favorite times. I'm finding joy wherever I can. Love to all.

p.s. I'm willing to answer questions. I think I might be a little confusing in what I just wrote because I'm tired.

Hang in there Judit, as they say, "face piles of trials with smiles", and know that we're all here for you!

Cancer Machete:

Activate !!!!!!!!

{{{{{{{{Healing_Vibes}}}}}}}}

Judit -- I'll be passing through Eugene the evening of March 19, should you need anything from Portland, or just a fresh face and noseprint on your window to wave at! 

I only imagine how frustrating that appointment schedule must be. 

Rest. rest. rest.

I was ready, but my incision wasn't.

I saw the surgeon on Tuesday. I'd been hoping she'd say I could go ahead with radiation but the incision still isn't healed. I knew it wasn't but hoped there was a way around waiting. There's also a painful accumulation of fluid (a seroma) that is not keeping me from starting the radiation process, but is its own drag. It will be there for as long as it is. She doesn't want to aspirate it because she's concerned about introducing bacteria to the area. Wouldn't excellent sterile technique prevent that?

So, I'll see her again on Tuesday, March 9th. If I can go ahead, the Radiation Dept. will see me that week for a CT scan and other things they call a "Sim" (simulation). The next appt. (the next week?) will be a dry run and then I'll start the real thing. It will be 5 days a week for 5-6 weeks. I'm glad it's only 10-15 minutes from home and the appts are just 15 minutes.

It was a suggestion, but I'm not starting meds yet for a couple of reasons. First, because if there are side effects to the radiation or the RX it would be hard to tell which is the cause. Second, because the medication oncologist wants the cancer (if there is some?) to be unimpeded by the meds so it's available for obliteration. Those are my words, my vision.

I think that's it. I'm less discouraged and depressed than I was last week, which is pleasing.

Blessings and vibes to you Judit.  Do you have to go on a special diet, like low iodine, if you go with the radiation treatment? 

we / you will survive darli'n

I did 30 radiation sessions 11 years back  and I can't really remember but I think it was 2-3 times a week

was only "burnt out"  by the time the last two came... i had a good prayer / meditation  I used, and would get  listen to music for 20-30 minutes while in the tube   - being calm

PLUS I got permission to go se DNB before starting chemo and radiation - was a nice boost

one step forward is progress  - big prayers for you

 

can't upload so sent emails with preparing for treatment, and meditation

 

 

 

the waiting is the hardest part............

 

be strong powerful woman

>>> Do you have to go on a special diet, like low iodine, if you go with the radiation treatment? <<<

Not that I've heard, Ken. I hope not, I just saw that milk, cheese, yogurt are sources of iodine and I do eat those. I eat very little food from the sea except sea salt from the North of France. I'll let you know if I have to make changes.

 

I saw your emails, LLTD. I keep having the desire to be in/on warm sand. Strange, because I don't usually think of the tropics as the place I want to be. Thanks. 

That picture is me at sunset in Maui gathering strength and peace from the cosmos for the battle that lay ahead

It completely captured my feeling and being and while on paradise with my DNB tribe and music

provided a lot of motivation and positive energy and strength and love; as yes the next couple of months were somewhat difficult

long live those that are strong and determined AND love

 

Judit, has it really been since February that we heard from you? How've you been doing? Sending Love...   heart
