I guess will ask even though it is probably not on the "approved" list of things to do. But, yeah, I admit to being a tiny bit concerned. So do they not have a particular treatment protocol with suggestions as to the best outcome percentages given each eventuality, thus providing guidance as to how to proceed? Are the statistical projections re the best medical outcome close enough where personal treatment preferences even come into play?
I think? But so far it all seems like they are shooting at a moving target???? I'll learn more in a few weeks when I see medical oncologist - so far have only seen surgical oncologist. Anything you do is on the approved list of things to do, PAV

Oh Scout - what we won’t do for our children! Someday in the far distant future, he’ll remember and fully appreciate what you did.1

Woke up nice and chili... and it wasn't the red chilies!
Scramble scramble scramble... not the thermostat... furnace making humming noise.... oh... goodie.... just the pilot light!
And before anyone says why did you not check THAT first, It is a really old negative 99% efficiency furnace from back when Yooly was a teen (fully rebuilt since then... including since I moved into the house and I was shocked that I could still find (generic) parts that fit!) but the pilot light position is, at an absolute minimum, "awkward" to reach.
But all is good now!3 -
Stay warm PAV! Looks like high temperatures here in Austin will be the same as Vancouver for the next few days. Going to actually wear sweaters and coats. But by the end of the week back to mid 70s.1

I'm loving this cool weather (that came back after a mini heat wave)! Rainy here off and on but that is okay.
Glad you got your furnace operating, PAV! I'm lucky. No furnace - just a gas fireplace in the living room (and heated floor in the bathroom at the far end of the house). Easier to deal with. But one time when the pilot went out, and I couldn't get it lit because I could smell gas and nothing was happening when I was flicking my BIC....I spent almost two hundred dollars on an emergency service call
Scout - hope you are warm and dry and earning points to the stars
Enjoy those nice fitting clothes, Yooly.3 -
Oh yes....s c o u t is out with her star blankies!!!!

We are home and boy was it a wet cold weekend out with my scouts. My son had an amazing time and met some new friends. It was awesome to see him laughing and playing. I am so glad to be home but I am still freezing. Going to be a while. That cold wet will get in your bones! I’m not planning on doing anything but laundry for the rest of the day.
Twisted my ankle on a midnight hike through the rain so I’m hurting a little. Going to skip the gym tomorrow and rest it. Sucks that I don’t get the extra calories but I know I should stay off and let it heal or it will be worse.
Got home and the hubby wanted to talk about our annual ski trip. I HATE the cold and was in no mood to discuss snow! Lol
So glad you got your furnace working PAV. Nothing worse than being cold and not able to fix it.4 -
Cold and I and food (especially when the "I" is tired) don't get along SAFELY together! Rest that ankle! I admit to cutting my little dusk walk a bit short because I wasn't "feeling" it. Hopefully my "little" tub of plain 0% greek with 238g ambrosia apple and 2g cinnamon plus 5 drops of liquid sucralose dessert / late lunch / early dinner will restore my mood!

I have no idea where I got my energy this past weekend, but would love for it to happen more often!
Saturday my neighborhood did a Halloween walk with a bunch of businesses giving away stuff. So I did that. I was out and about walking for about 2 hours. Not sure how many miles it was, but dang. I stopped a few times to check out businesses, but otherwise it was just walking.
Then Sunday I decided I want to rearrange my apartment so I was moving furniture most of the morning and early afternoon. That plus taking down trash and recycling had me sweating! Once I finished that, I started on dinner which was a lot of work too (roasted chicken, cornbread dressing, and glazed carrots).

Wow @Athijade you were rocking it out! Hope that energy lasts!2

Wish you could bottle that energy Athijade! And pass it around….3

"jade in a bottle" Sounds good! 1

I have decided I’m over this cold weather. It can go!1
-
🤣 I feel you Scout!!! I can't remember whereabouts you live? The cold weather is hitting my area in southern Ontario, too. At least today is supposed to be sunny 🤞🏻1
-
Hey - we almost got a frost this morning in Central Texas! 😳 💨 And windy! But 50s mid day and 80s by the weekend.
The funniest part is watching the natives deal with cold. Ski masks with shorts? Puffer coats and sandals?4 -
The same odd outfits here, Yooly. Can definitely see my breath this morning and the postman is wearing a heavyish jacket and shorts.1

I'm in Northwest Arkansas so no where near as cold as Canada!! It dropped drastically over the weekend while we were camping and it was pouring rain so I was cold and wet for 72 hours. I still haven't recovered. It is continuing to drop. This morning there was enough frost on the windshield of the car I had to get the scrapper out. I really hate this time of year. All I want to do it eat to stay warm. Not conducive to weight loss at all!1
-
I had no idea frost was a regular (ish) thing in any part of Arkansas!
I understand that urge to eat. Survival instinct! A good layer of fat will stop us from freezing if the heating shuts down

Ugh short cold days 😡2
-
I'm not keen on the short days either. Dark at 5? How do I take an evening walk????? My housemate was very handy to have around. Tall and somewhat menacing in the dark so we could go walk at the Bayfront park late r at night and not be worried. Not doing that myself!!!!! 2
-
We had snow on and off yesterday which isn't super abnormal for Chicago, but still. It is also starting to get dark earlier and earlier. I do find I struggle this time of the year due to the cold and dark. It's harder to get out for walks, I feel so tired, and I just want to eat.3
-
Okay - I think we should start a petition. Sunrise must arrive at 7 am latest and Sunset at 8 pm earliest so we can have evening walks and not feel like it is time for hibernating!4
-
Today, finally, is one of those days when I don't feel I feel time pressure because there are so many obligations. Woohoo!3

Laurie. I am in the northwest corner or Arkansas. 20 minutes from Missouri, 30 minutes from Oklahoma. I’m in the Ozark mountains so we get frost. Even snow at times. Last year we had a huge storm. Dropped 2 feet or snow. Thought I was going to die! I can’t imagine those people who live in the really cold places.
My husband and son ski so we go to Wisconsin every year after Christmas. I am miserable that whole time!2 -
The only friend I have from Arkansas always speaks about missing the heat - and how cold he is her. You've just expanded my awareness of Arkansas immensely!

I grew up in southern Arkansas and it was HOT. Like year round hot. We have a huge variety of temps. Makes it a hard place. My husband says we have the worse of all the seasons. Summer is in the 100, winter is below freezing, spring is soaking wet, fall is non existent. His thought is if it is going to be miserable and cold then at least let there be enough snow to ski. I'm all for keeping it warm year round!3

I sign the petition2

Today was errands. And house chores preparing for holidays because once the decorations are up cleaning gets difficult. So I like to start out with a clean house hoping to ride out the holidays without needing too much scrubbing.
The next weeks will be filled with Christmas trees, wrapping gifts, baking cookies, and gatherings….. hopefully not too much crazy eating.1 -
You're terrifying me, Yooly. I feel 1,000,000 miles away from being anywhere near prepared for Christmas or even preparing for Christmas! 😳2
