Hey everybody, it's been too long since I've checked in with you all. Never thought I'd get that far away from breast cancer, but I have for awhile anyway! Celebrated 10 years as a survivor June 2nd!!!! Am having some problems praying that it's nothing serious......liver enzymes doubled this last onco. appt. so Dr. had me come off Effexor cold turkey thinking it might be that drug causing the levels to rise......had a PET scan this past Mon. with no results as of yet. This is the 2nd one I've had since being dx with the bc and bone mets. Coming off the Effexor cold turkey was not easy and I'm still having problems, not sure if it's withdrawals from that wicked drug or just that I really really need to be on something as I'm having some awful mood swings and I get very emotional as well as being easily set off........thankfully my family knows it's most likely the fact I'd been on this drug since 2001 and coming off it cold turkey is not the way to do it........but the onco. said to stop taking it. Prayers are appreciative and I hope to catch up with all of you again. Even though I've been away from the site, I think of you all often and lift you up in prayer. Love & Hugs, Sherrie

Sherrie...I'm so glad to see you here, although I'm NOT glad to hear of your recent concerns. YOU, my friend are always in the forefront of my prayers and will continue to be. I certainly hope your scans don't reveal any problems and that the meds you're now off of were the culprit for the elevated enzemes. PLEASE let us know as soon as you get your results...Hugs my friend, Jane

Thanks Jane and Fran. Fran, I can only imagine what you have gone through with your daughter being so sick and then her passing. That has to be the hardest thing a parent would ever go through. My prayers are with you both. I did call my onco. office this morning and spoke with the lady that does my labs sometimes, they were swamped like always but she said she'd talk to my onco. about prescribing me something for my nerves. I also asked her about my PET scan results and she said they were in but that the Dr. had not looked at them yet so she couldn't/wouldn't tell me anything more on that. Hopefully I'll hear something soon though. Love & Hugs!

Hi Sherrie, was just checking in to see if you had gotten any test results yet? As we're always saying...such a big part of this crazy journey is "waiting"...for appts, tests and then results!!! Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you and you continue in my prayers! Hugs, Jane

Thanks Pam and Jane! No news yet. I called Mon. to see if I could get the onco. to call me something in for my nerves and I asked about the scan too, lady told me she'd give the onco. the message.......no news, no phone call.........Just wonder what's going on. Have had a better week this week......today was a bit off for me, but I'm praying that will get better, the further out I get from being off the Effexor. Will let you all know asap. Love & prayers, Sherrie
