deb, when you remain cancer free for about a year, you can go to your oncologist, skipping the surgeon, and radiologist visits. The oncologist continues with all the testing, and will refer you if/as needed. Stock up on aloe vera gel (topical) to use on your skin during radiation.
 
SCG Have you been made aware of LLBean's new return policy? Limited to one year from purchase. Plus they reinstated shipping of $ 6.00 if under $ 50. Since they (and the other Guy) price things at 49.48, etc. etc. you don't quality for free shp. To make up the slack they don't have any items in the $ 1-10 range.

They said they had to do this because people thought their guarantee was for lifetime and were sending in items for refund that were ages old and dilapadated etc. etc. I have been a customer since 1990's NEVER returned anything that wasn't in prime condition and clean. I didn't wait forever to do so. So I am really furious with them.

I'm sure the LE company will follow suit. LE prices are high but, LLB's are even worse.
The reason for buying from them at such prices as because they stood behind defective merchandise.

At least at LE we have a store about 40 minutes away that will take in returns with NO shp.charge and if you return and then buy anything at the store (even if 60 percent off) they will add another 10 percent off. I always find something I want there. You can even order from the catalog (in store and NOT pay shipping. So far this is great plus they often have 50% off one full price item - sometimes 50 off entire order.

I don't work, or have stock with either of them. Hope all the stuff I have bought recently will hold up past one year because it sure cost a bundle to get them.

You may now return to your previously enjoyed thread.

I actually buy their men's jeans as they sell ones that hold up and yes flannel lined is great

Planning out my next eight to ten weeks depending on the radiation Doctors schedual...
Saw my surgeon yesterday for what I thought was the last time.... Good visit had a student in there to learn and observe he was nice. Boy for someone who hadnt been seen by a Gynocologist in about Thirty years I am sure getting "Over it"....

Stitches are dissolving on time... Yay. Then the doc says... See you in three months... and every three months for the next FIVE years.... :th

Then his assistant and scheduler came in with another RN in tow. She introduced her and she is doing a study of Cancer survivors and would I be interested in doing an interview and filling out a questionnaire. Nice gal we went out into the main hall and sat.

It was interesting to say the least and we had a long conversation.

inhibition just kinda fades with all that huh

So the next visit I have is for Radiation which is on the Twelfth That will probably take three visits to start. They have to measure me CT scan me and Tattoo me with Registration marks for the radiation. My Gyn doc said the radiation will be five times a week for five weeks.... The pamphlet I read says I will continue to se the Radiation doc once every three months afterwards for five years. :th

I will be sixty eight by the time I am discharged.

:th:th

But All in all I am feeling good. Practicing my core strength... Every time I contract my stommach muscles It pulls my body straight... My back muscles are relaxing and the pain I have been experiencing is going away...

My project for this week end is to do some walking and practicing with those muscle.s
 
Thanks Ron. It's been a real treat working with the sheet siding with the March winds gusting away. Thought I was going to wind up in town a few times.

Perchie, look at it this way. You are now officially on the radar! But the bright side is it sounds as though you are getting excellent care and that positive attitude is still functioning without difficulty. Wish I could give you a big hug.:hugs

I did manage to hike out and look at my strawberry bed. Looks like some of them survived the bitter cold temps we had. I'll be able to move the survivors to my raised container.
Good work lady, i use scraps all i can when i build too.

Aquaphor is what my hubby used:)before & after radiation treatments, but you'll find what works best for you :love
 
Had my fun today building a hay feeder. Came out pretty decent. The goats have tried to go through it, in it, over it, and were completely unsuccessful! Love it! :celebrate Got fed up with them wasting so much. Got some pieces of 2" x 4" no climb horse fence from a friend over on BYH, a pallet, some scrap wood and a little new wood, some hardware and away I went.

Also took a 16# turkey out of the deep freeze yesterday for lunch/dinner tomorrow. Even staling bread for real stuffing. Gonna do a nice grilled rib eye steak for dinner tonight. Was 70° today and sunny with light breezes. Have had the house opened up all day! So nice after all that rain. :wee Back to rain again tomorrow for a couple of days. :(
Nice job! I am going to have to make a hay feeder eventually.
