Hello all,

I don’t think I’ve been here for over a year and I was feeling bad cuz this group was here for me.

I’m still on maintenance. After all this, my best friend, my Dad passed then I’ve had two elbow surgeries along worth other ailments. Since my dad, I’m lost and haven’t been able to function well.

I hope everyone is well. Blessings to you all.

I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad passing. I still want to pick up the phone and talk with my Mom and she passed almost 10 years ago. May your good memories sustain you and help you through your grief.

Glad to hear you are still on maintenance. May you stay NED.

Hello ! I'm so sorry for your loss. I've thought of you this past year and wondered how you were doing. Diagnosis was more than too much to handle ! I can empathize with you completely as even though I continue due to be NED that the hits keep coming in my life as well! I wish you well and send much strength.

Hello,

I hope you are feeling better. I’m so sorry about your Dads passing. I lost my Dad 2 weeks before my diagnosis, he was 94 and had Multiple Myeloma. I am grateful that he didn’t have to go through watching me have cancer.

That chemo does a number on our bodies does it not?

I know my joints and even my skin hurt all the time!

May I ask what type of surgery you had on your elbows? Mine hurt so bad all of the time! And it’s almost like I can’t build muscle in my arms anymore.

Please keep fighting! Hugs teal sister 🦋🙏

Hello there Jules!

Thank you for responding. I’m just beside myself with grief, sadness, you name it, over the loss of my dad. The pain is unbearable at times.

According to my surgeon, I have bad arthritis in my elbow. Well, one day I woke in severe pain and couldn’t extend my arm for two weeks. Finally went in. Turns out a small bone fragment broke off and was floating around. It took two surgeries but fast recovery.

My body always hurts lol even after almost two years after surgery. You keep fighting as well! Blessings!

I’m the same! Everything hurts when I wake up especially! It takes me at least ten minutes to walk off the neuropathy in my feet!
