  1. My sister told me she found out she has breast cancer a few days ago, and I was the first phone call she made. I was devastated. She is my big sissy. She also has a pituitary tumor, rare yes I know. Hers thank God was only prolactin, and is treated with a weekly pill. I live in California and she lives in Texas, and I flew to see her in May and while I was there she had a mamogram that came out clear, so her cancer is very early. She says that is a good thing. I have only had bad experiences when the word cancer is involved. My Aunt Carleen died 2 years ago Jan 12th, of stomach cancer, they told her on xmas eve that she had 6 months to live...she died 2 weeks later. I miss her so much. My Grandpa died of throat cancer, grandma of skin cancer, my mom beat ovarian and now my sister...breast cancer. So many horrible diseases. And mine...Cushing's. When most have cancer it is cut and dry...your options are clear. Cushing's have to fight. We just seem fat and lazy where they seem like victims. SO ARE WE. Not to mention that heart disease is the #1 killer of women...UGH Another aunt of mine died of heart disease way too young. Instead of funding all these terrorism efforts....we should be finding out why we are all dying HERE. UGH I know this isnt the place for me to rant about that so I will stop. I felt great today, I am on 15 mg Cortef...for a few days now, and since have lost 3 pounds, in 3 days. I had a pretty okay day, my mind had alot of energy today but my body only could handle 1/2 hahaah but even that was nice. Tomorrow is my MRI, oddly enough I am not too worried about it. Dunno why
  2. I wish I would have made this blog before my surgery so that I could have tracked progress. Well it has been 4 weeks and 3 days since my surgery. I can't believe how fast it has went by! I remember right after my surgery I felt like it was never going to get better, and it felt like it was going by so slow. My nose was the worst, my surgeon also fixed my deviated septum "while he was in there" LOL and they packed my nose soooo much right after and then when I got home it was horrible At the advice from the angels on these boards I used the breathe right strips, and that made it a little easier. I am currently on 15 of Cortef, and am feeling pretty good. I don't want to get too excited, or say the "c" word yet :ph34r: Alot of little things are better. The weight is still here, I think I even gained a few more pounds, but my clothes fit better, and my tummy is way less bloated. I weigh 199 today. I lost a whole bunch of weight after surgery which was water, and then I was off the Cortef altogether for 3 days and then on 5 for a week and a half and was losing 2 pounds a day. I started to feel yucky, and my blood pressure dropped and so at the advice of the smart people here I decided I should take more and wean slower. So I am thinking my weight is because of the Cortef. I have to try to be more patient. So here is the things that are changing! 1.) Depression is GONEEE!!!! 2.) Anxiety is lessened 3.) Funky odor is gone 4.) Big painful pimple thingies on my jawline are gone 5.) Brain fog is gone, I can comprehend what I am reading the first time. 6.) Horriss my buffalo hump is disapearing 7.) My libido is BacK, and with a vengence LOL 8.) Energy level is higher 9.) Tummy is not as bloated.
