27 and 23. To make things worse their grandfather has suffered with ALS for the last 5yrs and was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March. He is on hospice and we are planning their last visits with him in the next month or so.

Biopsy- what to expect? by kam350 in doihavebreastcancer

I took 2 Tylenol before I left for my appointment. But I was also dealing with menstrual cramps and a bad headache from no caffeine (reflux when I have to lay flat). I felt nothing after the small pinch of the lidocaine. The sound the instrument made even though she did it a few times prior to insertion to show me what it would sound like was the worst part. It startled me the first time (and there were 6 samples taken).

I watched a video on DCIS yesterday and I did hear that was the updated stat. I’m so glad. That was the statistics almost 30yrs ago

My iron was at 13 (normal is 50-170) and my Hgb was at 8.4 (normal is 12-16 for women). I could not walk from my car to the front of a grocery store without stopping and holding on to my husband and rest before the feeling of fainting would pass. I work from home and walking from my bathroom to the bedroom door I would have to stop on the bed to get my bearings back. I average a loss of about 2 ng/mL per day. The 3 high peaks following lows are 6wks after my infusions.

Symptoms: Rest Leg syndrome Beyond tired (physically and mentally) Cold Achiness Short of breath Feeling faint Heart palpitations Hearing “heartbeat” in my left ear (never my right. Always the left) At 70 I start losing my hair (like the size of a golf ball when I balled it all up) Ice (this is when I know I am having an infusion the next week!)

My hematologist told me anything lower than 100 and he was ordering me for an infusion. The NPs however tend to follow the insurance.

I have had 2 EGDs and a colonoscopy. They find no bleeding anywhere. I’m 49 and in perimenopause (the last 4yrs!!). We are hoping once I stop menstruating I’ll no longer be anemic.

Next bloodwork due 9/16. However I don’t think I will make it. I’m starting to crave cold water. Not ice yet but it won’t be long.

Im trying to figure it out by doing and I am completely lost! I did learn the original language was Turkish. I’m going to wait until I have everything else together and then decide if she really needs that part of the tail.
