I wanted to do something similar with my beastie boys pics, ita. But can that be considered cheesecake? I worry about these things.
I mean, in every pic they are wearing 84 layers of clothing.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I decided to swap a peaceful Jamaican beach for a PTSD violent Pied Piper nutjob. Beastie Boys? What are they in comparison?
Did either of you get red blood cell injections as part of your chemo?
I didn't.
What are they in comparison?
They make me wibble?
I think she means Procrit, Perkins, and that's actually something I got, too. It's my sister translating, and I think she got confused. Thanks.
Ah. Nothing I got did much to my joints, though the neulasta does for some people, I think.
They are harmless in comparison, that's what they are.
I'm keeping fewer windows open, just for the novelty.
Now, if I had SPN stuff up, I'd feel redfaced. The calendar will have to do.
Hey, Ginger, Perkins, anyone that's ported a portacath...did you have to get yours flushed with heparin every time they used it?
I didn't, but my blood count stayed in the acceptable range. I'm assuming they're treating her for anemia. I've never heard of blood cell transfusions causing bone pain, but some chemo does. (I had severe bone pain from Taxol, but it only lasted about five days after each infusion.) She needs to talk to her oncologist. There may be another chemo she can try or different pain medication. My oncologist, bless him, prescribed large amounts of hydrocodone.
eta: Procrit can cause joint pain, but if that's the problem, the oncologist can try other things for anemia or space out the chemo more.
Oh, Neulasta, from the descriptions of the two, that's actually what I got. Wow, you'd think I'd remember better; well, I remembered the details, if not the name. I think she probably is getting Procrit, though. OK, thanks.
Thanks, both. I did some quick google fu, and I suspect it's Procrit, since she was talking about red blood cells. I didn't have that one. I am going to e-mail my sister shortly with some basics.
And, thanks, Ginger, I will most definitely suggest that she talk to her oncologist about options.
