Good morning everyone. I'm firing up the old Magic Carpet this morning. Hope all are waiting, equipped with parachutes, bubble wrap, and helmets. Madison said there was an airfield across from where we pick her up. Or did she say Test Site for Aircraft...i dunno...but could get dangerous. Charlene, don't you worry about a thing. We'll be holding your hand all through.
Nicki, the bc took a backseat next to my ankle/leg surgery because I've been dealing with being crippled for 8 yrs in Sept. and 7 surgeries. Amputation is the next step. I can lose a breast easier than I can a leg.
Vickie, where you at? You bringing coffee and donuts for the trip? humm.
Wishing you all a wonderful day. From Amy to Z.

Gotta run...late
Love all around
Vickie -
Good morning. I thought it was Saturday...bummer.
Charlene - we got you covered and with Nickie in the OR making sure everyone is behaving you can relax and just take a long nap. The magic carpet is traveling the globe but should be there on time. We even picked up some additional friends who want to keep you smiling.
Most importantly, God is in control and HE will make sure all goes well and you are home with your beautiful baby angels soon. May HE bless you and shine HIS healing light on your medical team to guide them through a very successful procedure.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers today. (((((hugs)))))
Peter- that's a good one. I'll have to remember it so I can share it with some of my colleagues at work. -

Charlene/Angel I would happily be confused for you any day of the week. Funny, smart, loyal...... You will be fine today and I will be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts and energy your way.
WHAT?? WHAT?? Cheri, what is this about the port flushing? Mine hasn't been used since May 23 and no one said anything about me needing a flushing! I'll tell you gals, I am about to go on the war path with the medical folks in my life. Trying not to let them see how pissed I'm getting. I know you get more with honey but apparently my honey is not working so............
sorry for the rant, getting my new, beautiful, full of love afhgan around me to keep the smile on my face! Thanks again my dear friends, will get hubby to take a pic soon.
Marsha -
Marsha, better make arrangementes to get your port flushed. You mean nobody told you to have it flushed every 6 weeks?? Have it flushed every 6 weeks. Your doctors don't want me coming down there!

My daughter asked me if George Washington was alive when I was little! She's 31 now and I just recently forgave her.
The wedding isn't until next year so we have lots of time to plan. David is extremely suit resistant so it will be small and simple----. The only decision I've made so far is that I think I will ask both of my kids (a son and a daughter) to stand up for me. Think I can get 2 toddlers and a 5 year old to walk me down the aisle? Nice thing that weddings aren't so rigidly structured any more----first time around I had to argue with the soloist to get him to sing the wedding prayer from West Side Story because it wasn't religious music.
Gotta run---long busy day and will try to find MB somewhere in the middle of it.
Jeannie -
Good Morning,
Stopping by before I head North to Mom's...Gonna see her tomorrow at a 'family reunion'...but still have to go today!!
Vickie: Glad little Nate is feeling better! Is he still with you or back at Day Care? Hoping for 'positive' on the new job!
Can't wait to see you all decked out as Glenda.......but I think we will keep the table on the ground when you dance on it!!
Husband doesn't think I have a sense of Humor!!!!!!!pfftttt.. Whatever!!
Christine: Packed yet? I'm thinking just jeans....short, capri's and long! Simple......of course, by the time it is all put together, the suitcase will weigh 50 pounds!
Laura: Glad DD made it home safely!
Mena: Did you find your little Angel? Maybe she flew away to help someone else!! A new one may have to 'fly' your way!
Must say, I'm enjoying getting to know you better....I love your quick sense of humor!
Charlene: I was gonna tease you for getting in trouble! But knowing that you're leaving shortly for the hospital to get the girls worked on.............I'm sending you my love and hugs instead. {{{{{{{{{angel}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Nicki: I was here alot on Wed., on and off all day...a bunch of short post, cuz the cyber monster kept booting me off! I was getting paranoid and thought maybe my posts were being deleted...........had to go back and check! Not that little ole me would ever say anything 'improper!'
Two years ago, when I had just turned 51.......this young little whippersnapper at Kohls didn't even ask........she just gave me the Senior Discount!! On the plus side....I think their Senior Day is 54!
I hope you are still pondering!!!!
Eachday: You are a welcome addition to our family! So glad you found us, as I really look forward to your posts!
Marsha: Zap #22 done! Aug. 3 is your last day!! WOOHOO..be sure and call one of us at Pinkstock so we can celebrate with you!
I can just imagine your nephew at your little Brothers wedding! My GD is going to be in my Son's wedding in Nov..I can only imagine how that will be!!
Poop Stories.........my job has been pretty clean lately! I'll have to 'scare' some up! I do have a fact for you though.......blueberries digest the same as corn!!!!
Liz: Painting is done!!!! Did you get started on the floor yet? What are you putting down? See you in a couple of weeks!
Karen: Hope you enjoyed the concert last night. Did you stay dry? Nice that you met Catherine! I love meeting the girls in person!
Colonoscopy...........Is it really linked with BC? I know I should have one, but I am scared. I automatically think that they will find something........especially seeing that I'm not the most 'regular' type person. Tell me how stupid that is.
Madison: Glad that you are checking in while in Georgia! Now I know why you're in Georgia............Air Force Daughter! Enjoy and see you in a couple of weeks!
Speaking of the Magic Carpet being detected on Radar. Many, Many years ago my ex-idiot was in the Air Force. The base was set up kinda funny and the run ways were like at the end of streets.....from what I remember. Anyhow, showing some company around the base one day......I ended up on the middle of the run way in the car surrounded by Military Police............one of which was my ex! (he wasn't my ex then)
Robins daughter Jasmine just returned my call..........I called Robin at home, her cell and then her girls. Anyhow, didn't talk to her but a minute, but she assures me that her Mom is FINE. She is watching the baby right now, so is probably busy. Jasmine said she will make sure Robin knows that we have been concerned and thanks us for checking up on each other.
Shokk: Little Orphan Annies Grandma! I doubt it........Dorothy yes..Annie, no! Sounds like you've been staying out of the closet lately!! Still raining though, isn't it? So, our Peter is making you blush........but no Hot Flashes yet...........He'll have to work on that!
BRB -
Oh Geez, I've really got to get my butt in gear and get to my Moms. Thinking of Margarets saying right now!!
Colleen: You are so right! Sometimes doing wrong makes us feel right........glad you are doing better! And I am glad that you went to dinner with some friends last night....good time, right?
I like whoever's idea it was to sell the ring on ebay and we'll bid it up high before jerko can bid on it!!
Susan: Any news on the job? Sounds like the interview went good!! I'm still seeing the same pic of you too!
Sheri: WTH.......they called and said no families at the picnic!! Seems like that would have been announced when they planned the thing!
Iris: The Moose Tracks was delicious!!!!!!!!Thanks for sharing!
Gus: 3 years tomorrow.......you go girl!! Glad you're taking it well and we will see you in a couple of weeks!
Jan: Have a great trip to Maine, and stay safe......
I really have to get out of here.........Hi to Cheri, Shannon, Jeannie, Cherryl, Kristen (where are you), Odalys (loved your wedding pic.!)
, and from her we go to from A to Z .....I'll be back this evening!
Hugs,
Denise -
{{{ANGEL}}} You are in my Prayers sweetie!!!
All of you are!!!!
Pain meds. are working great!!

and His Aunt Puppy Loves Him!!!
well better go for now, BBL
OH and just remember when you see one "RAT" you "KNOW"
More are there!!! xoxoxo Puppy -
Hi again everyone,
I wish I had an exciting life to talk about, but no. I am 43, have a 10 year old son and am married to the most wonderful man in the world. Oh yeah, I was diagnosed with bc two years ago last week. Ha! Triple negative, lumpectomy, chemo, and radiation. However lately, I have started worrying about recurrence and seeing Tammy Faye Messner on Larry King didn't help. Anyway, my latest anxiety is over whether or not to go back to work. I haven't worked since I was diagnosed, but I am really getting bored. I have done the room mom thing at my son's school and bible study at church, but that isn't enough. I feel like my time now is precious only I can't figure out the best way to spend it. Anyway, I wandered over to this thread yesterday, and you girls seem so fun. I hope everyone is well. Bye!
Shannon -
Morning kids, off to Lowe's and a little retail therapy before DH wakes up. LOL
Denise, we're putting laminate flooring down that looks like stone/ceramic tile. I just didn't have the energy to do the real ceramic tile right now. I want this done!
Oh, I ordered regular size T-shirt for Pinkstock. Some are fitted so make sure you read that before you order.
Hi Shannon, nice to meet you.
Okay, I'm off. BBL -
Hi Shannon welcome to the wagon circle. We are a big bunch of women and 1 man and its a great safe place to hang out. We laugh, cry, and tease each other and have a great time around here.
Angel-thinking of you today.
Adrionna-have fun visiting your mom.
Cheri-bundled up and ready with my helmet on. Mazer is ready and sure wishes alaskadeb was going with us and bringing cinnamon rolls.
Glad to hear Robin is ok and just busy with life. Thanks for the update.
Vicki-yep Maine would have some cold winters but the summers are wonderful there. I had to laugh when you were talking about growing up on the lake in the summer and it being too cool to swim. In Alabama in the summer its NEVER too cool to swim!
Madison-hope the Georgia trip is going great for you.
Iris-are you back home yet?
Peter loved your magic carpet pic.
Puppy glad to hear the pain meds are helping you.
Marsha-congrats on zap #22 and you will be done before you know it. Make a note to check on the port flushing.
Susan-still crossing my fingers that you get the job. Love the new pic.
Sheri-the boss didnt handle the picnic very well in my opinion but then again you know what they say about opinions.....
Shokk-I noticed that somebody commented about you staying out of the closet lately. It must be because of the new assie hanging out here. lol
Karen-hope the concert was great last night.
Jeannie-glad to hear that you forgave your daughter. That story did make me laugh though.
Eachday-I dont think I have welcomed you to the circle yet. Its a great place to hang out.
Odalys-I first thought it was Saturday this morning also and was wondering why I had turned my alarm on. Not a good feeling when you realize its not Saturday is it?
SO's sister and brother and 2 kids are flying in tonight to visit us for a week so will be busy for sure. They are great to hang out with so it will be fun.
Guess I should run try to find my desk. I know its buried under here somewhere.

Good morning sweet chicas and good night Peter........Amy all I said it was no fun hanging out in the closet when you weren't here to make fun of me about "being in the closet".........ha..........EachDay that was such a sweet thing to say about love.......if love could cure cancer your right we would all be cured..........Shannon maybe when your son goes back to school you could get a part time job for awhile to get back into the swing of things...Marsha #22 I remember when you were shocked that you were going to have to do radation and see now you are almost done........way to go........Cheri loop da loops are too much for me.......I'm just going to stay on the ground and try and break somebodies fall just in case......ok chicas I wash my hair this morning and styled it myself.....my stylest asked me if I wanted it curly or straight and I said curley and she defussed it and I looked very much like the black guy from Hair.....brb.......
-
cheri i can take you to get your port flushed. give me a call.
Puppy so glad you checked in. I miss you!! And Denise, thanks for calling to check on Robin. I hope she comes in to talk with us soon.
I don't know if the job is the right one. they want me to work 5 days a week, 4 hours at a time, all nights or weekends. If I wanted a 5 day a week job I would work full time.
ooohhh to much eating over my keyboard. the c letter is sticking to the space bar. I'm having to struggle to write.
Angel, good luck today whatever it is. I'm sorry I missed the magic carpet. hugs
Eachday I love the colonoscopy jokes. very funny.
For those who have not had a colonoscopy GO GET ONE! If there was a test for pre-Breast-Cancer that you could do and when they did the test they could remove anything that might possibly turn into breast cancer would you have done it? Wouldn't you prefer that to this.
gee, a day and a half of prep versus 6 months of chemo!! Which would you choose? When my DH had his they found a polyp. The removed it. It was benign. Since it's not there anymore, it can never turn cancerous!!!!!
please, please, please......ok, off my soapbox. -
spitting on my computer screen at Eachdays joke...oh my...ROFLMBO. I love your posts and your outlook on things...makes me think twice every now and then which is a good thing...hugs to you.
Shannon...really nice to have a new sister. This is a wonderful place to be and very addicting. Yes...my name is Vickie and I'm a boardaholic LOL.
Liz...off to Home Depot again...geez...I wanna come hang out with you. I love Home Depot and Lowes. Retail therapy is the best.
(((Puppy)))...love ya. Can't wait till you get your pictures.
Jasmanian...wake up Jazzy girl...missin you! Are you packed and ready for Pinkstock.
Hey Peter...Can't remember who the "keeper of the addresses" is...either Liz or Susan but would you like to send us your address so we can have you on our mailing list for funny greetings, postcards and such? It's lots of fun and you could even join the secret pals thing.
Howdy to Amy...happy to have you home. How is the farm?
Shokk...pictures! We need pictures!!! I'm sure you are as beautiful as ever...hugs...later alligators.
Vickie -
Happy friday and saturday one and all. Have been working on pics since 5am. My brain is tired. Going to my SIL today to hang by her pool. No time now to catch up. Probably going to visit daughter this weekend. Hubby annouced it this morning. Will definately check in tonight to check on Charlene. Everyone have a fantabulous day.
-
Ok back......I guess I looked like the black guy's white sister but our hair is exactly the same.....ha.......Hey Alwayshope were in the heck are you.......getting ready for Harry Potter.....oldest child finished the last book this morning is now sleeping and will get up about 5 and get ready for the line party tonight at Barnes and Noble...dressing up and everything.......her high school teacher is going with them......geez........Jan the blues.......ok I am a blues fan from the time I was little.......my older brother and parents thought something was really wrong with me.......the only reason I ever went out with my ex the first time was because he knew Stevie Ray and Jimmy Vaughn.....grew up right down the street from them and went to school with them......hung out at their house on the weekends when they all were in middle school because they had started their "garage band" and all the "chicks" hung out there....anyway he intoduced me to them long, long time ago.......I was heart broken when Stevie died.......could not stop crying for days........for the last few years have been following the career of Jonny Lang........he cut his first cd when he was 14, second at 17 and third at 18 or 19 can't remember.....anyway......love love love the blues.........phone brb.......

Thanks for all your comments on my little rant yesterday. My dh's boss is one of those people that your damned if you do, damned if you don't, so I guess we just go with it. I really felt bad for Micah, it just threw off his day. I think my nerves haven't quite settled back since MIL left on Monday, it didn't really take much to upset me.
Charlene, hope the surgery went well.
I have a confession to make--I never had my port flushed after tx. I was still able to use it after my hysterectomy a year after my last chemo, though. It's gone now, thank goodness.
I love all your hair stories. I can't think of what to do with mine. It's long, but I wear it up all the time because of the heat and it has no style. I'm just not ready to cut it, I guess.
We had some great thunderstorms last night. I just love the power in them. It just seems to help release something inside. I know, I'm weird.
Please send pictures of Pinkstock. I am so bummed, but really can't do it. I've put off making a final decision as long as possible, but there is just too much going on with school, and we are behind schedule right now as it is. I am moving to a new location, but still haven't been in my classroom yet. I usually like to get moved by now, school starts Aug. 14, open house is Aug. 2.
Have a groovy day. -
Vickie - thanks for the reminder of the addresses.
I'm compiling a list of addresses, phone#'s , email addy's etc. You just send me what you want others to have. I'll get it all finished after Pinkstock. I have the one from the Christmas cards also. I'll include those if no-one objects.
So if you want to be included, just PM me you info.
Hugs
Liz -
Liz going to Lowe's.........I so need to redo guest bath but never really have guests so.........still need to get it done.........girls got alot of our kitchen cleaned out but I really am going to try and get it finished this weekend.........it has been unseasonalbe cool this summer we have yet to reached 100 degrees but we still have August and Sept. to deal with and those are usually our hottest months........ok sweet chicas and Peter going to run a few errands on lunch break.......will check back in this afternoon........bbl......see ya later gators......

hi all.THanks for all the phone calls.Which I am sorry I missed.I have been very busy.I have actually been out shoping for the first time in almost 3 years.It wore me out last week and I had to spend all day friday in bed.
I have found a diet that the three of us are going to start on come monday.It is the raw and living diet.Karen bought me the book and cd's by alissa cohen.It sounds wonderful.One lady lost over 90 lbs in four months.You still eat hamburgers they are just made of nuts.I am really excited about it.I checked with my onc and he said he t hinks it will work for me if I will drink a can of ensure a day.I cant wait to get started,and I will keep all of you posted on our progress.I have got to get this weight off me and feel betterlIt sure has been a real challenge to get all the supplies bought up.
I found a GreenLife grocery store in chattanooga so Karen and I went and spent the whole afternoon in it.There are sure some things I have never heard of before.So I also had to buy a juicer,had to drag the food processor out of the cabinet and had to clean off dehydrator.So it has to work.No way it cant work.
Hope eveeryone is doing well.the baby woke up and I have to go.Talk to you'all soon.
Hugs
Robin -
Susan, just ask Jankay about the message I left for her last Friday. I was taking one of my good friends to her colonoscopy. They found polyps and removed them and she just heard they are benign. I have been proactive with bc so I guess I have to get my colonoscopy too. I have a history of colitis so it is time for me too. You made a great poitn and don't ever leave that soapbox vacant for too long, everyone needs a gentle push now and again.
One day until HP BOok 7. Yes, Nicki, there are loads of adults that are HP geeks.
Odalys, gorgeous pics. I met my 2nd husband through the personals and it looks like it is a better marriage than the first one, thank God!
Marsha and Cherryl, I have to say Tolkein deals with some pretty esoteric themes. And Potter has gotten into more adult ideas, more mature I guess. But it is what the kids would go through at those ages. My ds read The Hobbit two years ago and is starting the first of the LOTR series. DH just got two very interesting books, one is a parody of HP called Barry Trotter and another that deals with Snape's guilt/innocence. We also picked up a book from Tolkein called The Children of Hurin that is a prequel. PM if either of you want to borrow them.
Angel, best wishes for today. Got a late start today myself and missed the carpet.
Need to get out of here because it is too noisy with contractors putting up the new siding. They knocked out the cable and waiting for them to disrupt the phone which would really tick me off 'cause then my internet goes too!
have a good weekend. We are celebrating ds's 14th b'day this weekend since he was with his dad last weekend. HP movie tomorrow and who knows what Sunday. Gotta bake a cake tonight when it is cooler out. Chocolate with chocolate icing of course! -
Robin, good to see you girlfriend! I was going to start a phone campaign to get hold of you! I am not ready to start a diet yet, maybe soon. You will do great and we will see a svelte and thin version very soon! Love you!
-
Good afternoon everyone. I didn't get much sleep last night and have Kevin today so it's making for a very long day.
Jazz, where are you today? Don't make me worry.
Eachday, I think you're becoming addicted to our Circle. That's alright it's happened to all of us. I enjoy your posts and the way you look at things. I am glad you're here.
Denise, I still see Susans old avatar, too. Seems mine & your computer are about the same as far as what we see. I cleaned my temp files & cookies out so she should show up on mine. Could it be that we are both computer illiterate?? lol That's what I'm beginning to think.
Puppy, good to see you posting and glad the pain meds are working.
Shannon, welcome back. We're happy to have you. If you stick around very often you won't have to worry about what to do with your spare time...you'll be here. hahaha
Don't worry about what Tammy Faye looked like. I didn't see it but I read what Nicki posted about it and sounds like it was in poor taste to appear on TV. You can't worry about the 'what ifs'.
Denise, thanks for the update on Robin. Bet you felt a little silly in your car out on an airplane runway in your car...you were in your car right? Not on foot or anything.
Iris, hey I'll be glad when you come home.
Amy, nice to see you posting. Enjoy your company for the week.
Shokk, Bawwwwk, Bawwk, Bawwk!
Sheri, you never had your port flushed at all after tx?? Wow, I just about panicked when I realized last night that it'd been about 10 weeks since I had. I've got a call in to my Onc.s office to see if they want to re-schedule me next week and flush then or have me go to my local dr for a flush.
I just heard back from my oncs office. My dr. is gone now for good from the clinic. Yipeee! I never did like that man. I'll have a new woman dr. as my onc. Too bad that didn't happen while I was still in tx. Anyway, I go on the 30th and have lab, dr, flush. She said the dr said that would be fine to wait that long since I didn't have any problems and if I did to give them a call. I am so excited--a new onc. I should put that on the calender so maybe I won't forget it.
Marsha, don't forget to call your onc about your port flush. You might need to see a new onc the things you've said about yours. Can't believe they didn't mention a flush.
Janny, hey girly friend. I'm gonna miss you when you leave for a whole week tomorrow. Who's going to keep their eye on me? Can't be Vickie cause that'd be the blind leading the blind. Or Marsha, Charlene or Jazz or Nicki or Mena. Geeze...maybe I've just been hanging with the wrong crowd! hahaha Come to think of it, Janny, I think you made me act up last time. LOL
Ain't we got fun? Wishing all my friends from Amy to Z a great day. Speaking of Z, where are you girlfriend?
Mena, are you avoiding me? Hummm? When I'm hangin round, you aren't...Nah! We have too much fun.
LisaE, hope all is well with you. Holly, in case you're just reading I hope you're doing better.
It's friday, Eachday and Shannon we usually party on the Cyber party thread on the week-ends. Now these, of course, are imaginary parties but if a few girls show up it turns into lots of laughs. I may not even make it that long tonight. But Vickie will, I'll bet. We post pics etc. Check out the thread and prepare for some silliness.
Gina, hope you're feeling better today. How many more chemos do you have?
Peter, expect you'll be in the Par-Tay thread tonight?

Cheri -
I know, I am telling the truth, nothing made up, but I never had my port flushed! Can you believe it? I always meant to, but just didn't want to take the time and money to do it. I guess I was lucky, didn't have any problems.
Good to hear from Robin.
Not a big HP fan, I got turned off in the beginning. My dd was reading the books when she was 11 and was telling me about them. The way she described them it sounded like the adults were just a bunch of idiots and there was some cruelty. I've since read the first book, and am not as against them, my kids love them, but they just rubbed me the wrong way at the time. I am a huge Tolkien and CS Lewis fan, but always felt they tried to promote positive values. JMHO.
What a wonderful group of friends I have--we don't have to agree on every detail of life to be close. -
Good Afternoon Everyone: Yes I chose smiling pigs again. Still cant get over that pig roast. Came home early - I just had one of those fatigue, feeling crummy days. Not even humid. Came home and took a nap and seem to feel better. I think its been because I have been so busy this past week and I sure am glad its the week-nd.
CherylHolt: I just wanted to tell you that I kept hearing about the Harry Potter party in Oak Park all day on the radio today. Sounds like its gonna be alot of fun. Im driving and going - hey thats where our Cheryl is gonna be.
Sheri: Im a Stephen King kinda gal. Loved "The Stand" and "Thinner."
Cheri: That is fantastic news about your onc. I like the idea of having a woman. I've known my onc for OMG! 30 years!! I was a young nurse when he first came from Loyola Universtiy to do community based oncology. So I can push him around a bit . Even when he told my sister about changing to tamoxifen or stopping it altogether - he told her to call me and see what I think. Anyways, Im rambling - sounds like good things are going your way for once.
Well howdy shoot! Husband just brought me in a dirty martini. Thats a martini with Olives and olive juice. No wine - getting too many headache. So what did Cheri say about the blind leading the blind? But everyone knows, Im always the first to pass out.
Karen: I know you are making a wonderful Sadar meal. Now I want to know what you made this week.
Robin: glad you stopped and checked in. Many were getting worried about you. BUSY? Busy is good. Always makes me feel happy when I hear one of us is too busy - means life is getting back to some kind of normal. Good luck on this new diet.
Shokk: Well - when I hear about some of you remodeling, I think maybe I should just get down to good old fashioned cleaning. Remember my husband does the cleaning, laundry, and cooking. Looked around the other day and there is dust and cob webs everywhere.
Liz: Let me know if you need any information. I think you already have mine for the list. Oh and are we still trying to plan a chance encounter on August 1st> Inquiring minds want to know.
Sherloc: Hanging out at your friends pool? Now that sounds like fun. I need to find a sister from these boards that will do that with me. Anyways - wathc that sunburn! I havent been able to use my pool - cold and rainy. Only 71 degrees today. Pool water is 72! Tomorrow I will be using it all day. Gotta keep nice color for my new black dress.
EachDay: This board is addicting. I dont feel like my day is complete unless I come here and hear whats going on with everyone. You have made me laugh out loud a couple of times! Thats what life is all about.
Shannon: Im so glad you popped in and found us. Its just a fun place to come. We have all become friends and the support here is unbelievable. I recently celebrated my 2 year anniversary so we are close in the progress of this journey. Reoccurance? Hmmmm I think about it all the time. Im er/pr negative. Her2+ - but couldnt take Herceptin. Soooooooooo - hoping the crap shoot goes my way.
I know I have missed many! Denise, Madison, Susan, Colleen, and (please dont be made at me if I didnt mention your name - blame it on the Martini's.
I think I will just go crash for a while. If I dont see ya later, I will see ya in the morning.
Nicki -
Hey Everyone,
Haven't been here again for ages. It seems that everyone is doing pretty well. Don't recognize everyone's names either. Caught up last three pages.
I agree about the colonoscopy. I have a strong family history of bowel ca (mom & dad!)and didn't know it was related to breast ca until I was diagnosed! Things they don't tell us! Thank goodness Alberta has regular mammo testing from age 40 if you want it.
Had my hyster June 7. All went well and I feel better than ever, except for the hot flashes which are a real nuisance.
I had my follow up mammo on Monday and it was CLEAR!! I was so worried because they mentioned shadows, etc in January and this is so close to when I was diagnosed last year. Aug 8 is my one year cancerversary.
I have a bunch of afghan squares crocheted. Who can I send them to?? Is it Madison? I think I have her address still.
Amy, sorry to read about your Dad. Glad you had good support at the funeral. Look after yourself.
Take care all. Wish I could go to Pinkstock. I will be looking for pictures after. God Bless you all, you're a great bunch of people (was going to say ladies, but I saw that we have a gentleman in the group now too!)
