TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS GIRLS

SoCal: Not only do I drop things, sometimes I pick the same thing up 2 or 3 times. Arggh!

Vickie - Hope Nate feels better today. Yes I do try to remind myself that I am here and that is a good thing. Guess I am still greiving the "old" me.
Margaret - I'm glad I didn't break anything! I think that would hurt my mental health as much as my physical.
Gus - Congratulations!!!! I so agree with your feelings.
Shirley - Thanks for the hugs. I'm taking B6 for the neuropathy but trying to avoid other meds. I am improving but oh so slowly. The pictures are beautiful. You made those dresses!!! WOW I'm impressed. Just wonderful!
Nicki - Thanks for the hugs. When my onc told me 1 to 2 years to get over chemo side effects I didn't believe him. Now I do.
Lisa - Oh yeah I drop things all the time. I have also injured my fingertips and not realised it untill I see blood.
Spending the day doing laundry and trying out some low carb and flax seed recipies.
Love you all. I'll check back later.

Hello ladies (and Peter)

I have been on this website since March but am new to this particular forum. I have always thought I shouldn't progress to the forums until they are appropriate...for example, after "just diagnosed" I then moved to "chemo" and will go to "rads forum" when it is time. I broke my own rules and went into "moving beyond" when I felt I didn't deserve to be there yet but I realized my "rules" sucked and I have enjoyed reading and participating in those posts! Long time ago, I read the beginnings of this forum and thought 'I can't wait to go there!' when I am done all the active treatment but 2 things happened that made me say 'what the hell' and come here now: 1. Charlene invited me on another thread where we were discussing who gets MY boyfriend Viggo Mortensen (I graciously let her have him on Fridays I think?) and 2. The whole "clique" discussion on the other forum about the Circle Girls (I don't agree with that at all based on what I've read)

So, Hello, here I am!

I'm 42, was diagnosed at 41 (just a month before my 42nd birthday) with a 2.5cm IDC tumour. Had a lumpectomy and SNB with no node involvement but they did find DCIS also and although the margins were clear, they are not comfortable with a 1mm margin so after I'm done chemo, I go in for a re-excision on September 6th. I go for tx 5 of 6 FEC on Tuesday, then after the re-excision, I go for 30 rads. I have gained 20lbs on chemo and am bald.:(Needless to say, I barely recognize myslef in the mirror these days and I am SICK of finding scarves or hats to match my outfits - I miss my hair and my hip bones!!

Well, enough of the boring stuff, I have a wonderful (most of the time) hubby and a daughter who is 13 and a son who is 10. We also have 2 cats (I used to have 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 rabbits...asked dh for a second hubby - you know, just to stay with the theme - but he didn't think that was such a good idea! ) I am a dedicated runner - I have completed 2 marathons, 5 half marathons and a variety of other distance races. I have managed to keep running through chemo - although it is much, much slower- but it is my sanity! I also play competitive volleyball but have only played once this summer. I will play again in September when our indoor season starts. In my world, sushi and chocolate are food groups! I am also a vegetarian and animal lover. I work in the non profit industry for a social services organization that offers free programming for parents, families, children and youth. Shrek is one of my favourite movies of all time along with Big Fish. I love to laugh (and I do often) and I can play songs with my upper lip and my nose (don't ask!).

I hope I have introduced myself and haven't given too much information. I look forward to meeting you all and apologize in advance for not keeping everyone straight as there are so many of you!!!!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!
Mandy

Welcome Mandy. No hard rules on when you can join this group. We try to support each other in whatever part of the journey we may be. Most of us have already finished treatment (chemo, rads, etc). Some are receiving hormone treatments, others are dealing with recurrence. We come from all walks of life and live all over the globe. Our common thread is that we all understand what is like to fight this battle. We understand all the fears, pain, and anguish this hideous disease causes. We help/support each other during treatments, surgeries and the never ending follow up tests. I hope I've covered it all but know someone will soon follow with additional info. Glad to see you have a quick sense of humor. You will feel right at home.

FYI - I also did FEC 100 and 33 treatments of rads. Yes, I was bald, felt fat and ugly. That was almost 2 years ago. Time passes, treatments end, hair grows back out, and life starts to feel some what normal again. It will never be the same but you discover a new normal. Life can be good again. I promise.

Once again welcome. Glad you decided to give us a chance inspite of whatever nonsence you may have read.

Love and hugs,

Anonymous

Mandy: You have found the greatest group of women I know. We are here - all stages of this journey. Some in the middle of treatment like you, some done with treatment. Some dealing with mets, some dealing with reoccurance or a 2nd bc that is a totally new diagnosis. We are a great support to each and we have lots of fun along the way. Im so glad to meet you. Im 2 years out of treatment, but I tell ya, I had a hat for every outfit. I was lucky - newsboy caps were in style and there were all different kinds available.

When I was bald, I couldnt remember myself with hair. Now that I have hair again, I cant remember myself bald.

HI I intro'd myself in the other thread so won't bore ya with it here. What an apt description of having cancer...The Beautiful Mind movie scene!

Some of those with problem children, I never thought I'd see my son in Marine boot camp. He has ADHD but stopped taking Ritalin a year before he went to boot camp the first time a few years ago. Our family doc said that sometimes they learn to handle ADHD without meds and it looks like he did. He got hurt in boot camp and had a medical discharge that said he could come back after a year to let the ankle heal up. He waited two years and is back in now but sadly is in med hold awaiting surgery as he hurt both the same ankle and other knee and tore his ACL nearly in half during cruiciable week. They passed him on the cruicible because he kept on going and never quit until a senior Drill Instructor pulled him off the course! Anyway I think it depends on how he is after surgery and 6 months of healing if they will keep him in or let him go. He would have been facing going to Iraq about the same time if things had gone right. He said "maybe God doesn't want me over there in Iraq so this has happened to me." I don't know if any of you know what a Patriot Guard Rider is but I've been a member since a week after the website went online but had a years absence due to the bike accident last year June. Hubby went for a ride on the trike today, I stayed home as for some reason the heat is really bothering me this summer and its either because its so humid this year or maybe because of the cancer treatments.

Jan: So very nice to meet you. I cant stand the humidity either and Im sure its related to my cancer treatments.

Good afternoon all. When I started out reading all these many posts I could've said Good Morning. Chatty bunch we are, I just love it.

Betty , glad you're at home and nice to see you.

Eachandeveryday, teehee, have a great vacation and thank you for the compliment. I think you're pretty quick yourself. (would've said "fast" but I don't know you that well yet) lol

Vickie, you asked what men wanted? I've heard they want a lady in public and a wh--e in bed. hahaha Actually, most of them do like the not-so-nice girls. My daughter, Amber, just treats men hateful, and they can't seem to stop coming back and lining up. Go figure.You know how ladies love outlaws? I think that only goes for YOUNG ladies who haven't learned enough lessons yet! Same for men.

Gus, Congrats on your 3 yr Cancerversary. That is wonderful. Go out and enjoy yourself tonight.

Deb, glad you're back from vacation. Sounds like you had a wonderful time.

Nicki, How bout when we go for Karens surgery on monday you can ride shot gun so you dont get motion sick, that is if Amys little ass doesnt mind. You know Mazer usually has that seat. hhahahaha

Jankay, I simply loved the funny this morning. Thank You. I'll acccept and IM you later.

Iris, that was a nice post to Vickie. You are a sweetie.

Shirley, yep we're sister bums alrighty. Didn't you tell me once that I looked like your Mother? There ya go. Wish I could've sen your video sounds so cool, but alas, I'm stuck with Dial-Up for a bit. BTW, beautiful wedding pics!

Margaret, your welcome for the ride to Charlenes surgery. Yes, I'll drive the Magic Carpet for us to go to Karens on Monday and then you on...thursday? So, you must not mind the loops too bad.

Madison, so good to hear from you even when you're away from home. You may be board addicted.

Boo, awww, I'm so sorry you're feeling low. Are you very sore today from your fall last night? I think there's day we all feel that way, Sue. I try and only let myself feel yucky for a few hours then I try and fix it. Doesn't always work but I feel like if I let me feel bad about things then it justifies me trying to pull myself back up cos I've had time to be sad.

Vickie, sure hope little Nate feels better.

Good afternoon Liz. Hey Sheri, where are you?

Shannon, nice to see you posting again. I think you'll really like it here.

Mandy, welcome. So glad to see you here. I've read some of your posts on other threads and I'll think you'll feel right at home in no time. Most everybody does. Plus, we need talented folks like yourself who can play songs with their upper lip and nose. We've been looking for someone just like you.

Jan, Welcome to you, too. Sorry about your bike accident. Glad to see you here.

Mena, haven't seen you in a few days again. I know you're sick and I sure wish I could fix you.

Gina, hope you're feeling better. Puppy, you too.

For you girls that are new, it does sometimes get pretty fast paced around here. Don't worry about keeping up nobody expects you to. I'll confess, if there's very many posts I take notes. Bet some of the others do, too. Chemo brain only allots so much memory space. We're real easy to get acquainted with too. Just jump in and post whatever you like.

Wishing all from Amy to Z a lovely day.

wildabouthorses

Thanks for the warm welcomes! Nicki, glad to know it wasn't all in my mind about the heat this summer. I have been able to handle 100-105 temps on the bike with a helmet on but 90 is killing me this summer! Heck hubby and I have been together so much in the past year I'm sure he's enjoying some "me" time with the trike by himself.

slanderson

Cheri,

I noticed you posted on the "Ending a Relationship" thread. If you don't remember, I did, too, rather opinionated. Now I just noticed that the poster, Diane, deleted her original post. Oops! I hope I didn't offend her. I didn't mean to. I better get ahold of my mouth.

Hi Mandy and Jan - welcome.

Jan - I'm not far from you, I'm in Ponca City. The humidity/heat has really done me in since treatment. I about roasted outside awhile ago.

Oops - I'm supposed to be working in the bathroom. I hear hubby coming in.

Mandy and Jan - Welcome to both of you.
Susan - I love the new avatar.
Cheri - Not too sore. My left ankle and knee hurt but it is tolerable. I'm going out to dinner with a friend tonight. Hopefully won't end up face down in another parking lot! Oh my I must have been a sight. LOL
Hugs to all. Where's the party tonight?
Sue

Hello Jankay,Liz,Sue/Boo,Betty and the Circle Group of friends.
I lost my whole post but wanted to tell you that those are beautiful dresses,Shirley! My,you are a very talented person. Can't wait to see them on a real screen-tiny is better than no internet.
SoCalLisa-did the Internet Exp ever get better or did you change? I switched to Mozilla and Thunderbird;seems like I read that you had Thunderbird already. Got some malware on hard drive now.
Denise-hope the reunion went better than you anticipated. I know why I dreaded them growing up as it was always said abt was I putting on weight...Back then,it was abt all that some pople knew to say to kids in my fam I know it is more fun than my memories today. You look so good thatthe junk isn't that good,right? Need to hear this before appt w/skinny internist. He does not find my jokes funny abt cardboard food.

Hi to you,Robin-great to see you!
Cherryl-are you having fun in the Harry Potter scenery and read-in? I bet you are having fun!
Cheri-sweet is not what they called me while teaching;thanks. I think good guys should win in the movies and in real life,too.
Waiting for the evening to walk the steps that I have put off-cooler today here. Happy Sat evening! Iris

jankay

again welcome jan and mandy
what the others told u about acceptance of people here no matter where they are in the journey is true. iam an 8 year survivor with other health problems which for lack of a dx they are calling parkinsons. I believe it = the disease was caused by chemo, which is why they cant dx it.

and i still feel like i am home.

newvickie

to our new sisters Mandy and Jan! This is such a loving wonderful place to be.
Mandy...I remember the no hair hair days, now I have new, uncontrollable hair LOL. I also remember hipbones that have mysteriously disappeared...me thinks to much ice cream LOL.
Jan...I can't take the heat or the humidity any more. Of course constant hot flashes don't help either.
Sue...I miss the old me too. I just try to ignore it but it does tend to slap you in the face every now and then doesn't it.
Jankay...can you see me now LOL...glad you got your IM fixed.
Jasmine...thanks for coming to Jankay's rescue...I couldn't figure it out to save my life!
gotta run but I'll be back...love and hugs all around.
Vickie

SoCalLisa

Well here is our San Diego BCO group..we had a great lunch and it was so good to see everyone..



In the photo are SoCalLisa, Shirlanne,LisaSDCA, Meilanne,BMD and 3Boys4me.

MargaretB

Afternoon/evening everyone.

I imagine Peter is still sleeping.

Lisa, thanks for the info on colonoscopies. I will definitely have meds because they 1 - have given me a prescription for 1 (yes 1) ativan and they already know I have to get an IV in my foot.

Gus/Sue, congrats on your 3 years. Enjoy your celebration tonight.

Shirley, I cannot imagine what has come up that she would want to cancel our shared procedure - I would think that unless it's a man, she'd be able to do pretty much anything that evening, well, except maybe golf. What great pics. I'm impressed by the dresses - I don't even sew on a button (now that explains why I couldn't do the Knifty Knitter).

Mandy, welcome and glad you decided to join us. I think you will find yourself coming back often.

Wildabouthorses/Jan,(we have another Jan so have to make sure we distinguish which one I am talking about/to), welcome, glad you came by. My son has ADHD as well and got so tired of experimenting with different cocktails trying to find the right balance that he quit taking them. He's slowly growing up and at 21, he may be of age, but mentally, he acts about 17 or 18. Hope things work out the way your son wants them to.

Cheri, you are so right about the bad boys. My hubby was a bad boy when he was younger, and you know what, had I known him then, we would have never hooked up. Now here we are after 25 years. Thanks for explaining to our new sisters how quickly things move around here.

Shannon, I saw the Ending a Relationship thread and remember wondering what the poster had written since the thread had been deleted.

Lisa, great pics of the get together.

Back later.

Margaret

Odalys

It's been raining all afternoon. We had severe lightining and thundering. I was lying on the coach resting and fell asleep for two hours. Now, I feel guilty because poor Steven has been alone entertaining himself all day. Not much for spending a day with him mom. Oh boy. This is the result of a 50 hour work week.

Mandy and Jan - I don't think the others have mentioned the warning sign that comes with this thread: May cause addictive behavior! hahahhaha


Puppy - so good to see you posting. Love your sense of humor and always so kind. How are you feeling?

SocalLisa - Love the pic. Everyone looks great. You are so lucky to be able to have lunch with such great ladies. I sure miss talking with Shirlanne. I'm going to PM her.

Deb - glad your back, sounds like you had a great time.

Mena - I hope you are feeling well tonight.

Hi to all!

Yes, I survived the Family Reunion.........mouth is in a permanent smile pattern.......cheeks are sore from cheek pecks......and all the "I'm Fine." No actually, it wasn't bad, I just don't find them particularly fun! I didn't eat all that much and I feel nauseous....Figure either some long distance relative poisened me or this stupid diet has me brainwashed!

Haven't read up on all of you yet.....but that doesn't mean that I'm not thinking of all of you!!!!

Vickie: Glad you're feeling better about Mr. Jerk....Is there any such thing as 'to nice?' Don't you even think about changing...we love you just as you are!! You know, people have always told me that too. (with exception of immediate family).......even DH says I'm to nice to people. Geez....never thought of it being a bad thing! Guess I'll dig in the back of my closet and bring out the bitch clothes. We can practice at Pinkstock! I also hope that Nate is feeling better..poor guy.

Jan: on Vacation......or should be by now! Enjoy Maine!

Cheri: LMAO about it taking 650 hours to load the 6 minute video. I'm with you though.......we just went high speed a year ago........and DH complains every month when the bill comes in!

Eachday: Sounds like you were really multi-tasking last night!! I think it was something like....party thread, prayer thread, drinking Cosmo's and packing!! My type of Woman!!

Nicki: Love it.........What the heck is 'My Space' and why do I need one!!!! I really have no idea! Cheri, Vickie and Shirley have them and said they are fun.....so I figure I need one too!

Boo: I hope nothing more than your ego got hurt in your fall. I have always been one that can trip on a piece of hair...and this beast certainly hasn't made it better. I have no sense of balance anymore..add that to the stiffness and achy joints and it doesn't make for a very graceful picture! Remember the saying from grade school....."How was your trip, Grace?" I know you feel you've aged 30 years..It does make us sad and angry.....all I can say is if no one else understands...we have each other!

Gus: Yea for you! Glad you are going out with Hubby to celebrate.

Odalys: My heart was warmed when I read about your SS. How wonderful that he has progressed so well and now has a job!

Shirley: You are one talented mama! The pics were special and the dresses were beautiful! Can't wait to see the quilt!

Mandy and Jan: Welcome to our Humble Home....or Wagons! Sorry you are here but glad you are! (Only people on this site can make sense of that sentence!)

Shirley: Was it you who said you weren't surprised about me driving on the air field? Girl, you know me tooooooo well!

Betty: Glad you're home and hope all went well! Rest up!

Iris: Yup, reunions......a time to judge all! Gotta love it! Laughing about the skinny internist with no sense of humor! At least you didn't ask him for a lube job.....another case of Denise opening mouth and inserting foot!

Lisa: What a nice group you have in San Diego! Sounds like a good time was had by all!
One of my cousins at the Family Reunion lives right outside of San Diego!

That's all the notes I have ladies! So I guess I'll have to use my charm to finish this off!

Hubby (I think it was a compliment) asked me to hold a box of ceramic tile that we are putting on our porch. Odd request...but okay. I held it and he said.."that's how much weight you have lost!" That son of a gun was heavy!! Then he said that he was proud of me!! Ohhhh......does that mean he wants something tonight????

Okay, another DH story.......I go outside and he's standing by my flower garden with a empty jar. Me.."what cha doing?" Him.."nothing, just an experiment." Me.."with a empty jar?" Him.."yup." I know, the suspense is killing ya!! Anyhow, my well educated, designer/draft husband is trying to catch a bee in the jar.......why, you ask........He saw a BIG UGLY spider go down a crack on the 'new' porch and he wanted to see if by putting the 'bee in the jar' next to the crack, the spider would come out of it's hiding place because evidently spiders eat bees............Oh, our household is so exciting!!

Peter: How's it going, big bro? Love your pics, jokes and wisdom.......and of course, I'm a bit partial to that Assie of yours, too! Hope the infection is clearing.

Madison: Glad you're checking in......on the little bitty screen! Enjoy your DD and have a safe trip home!

Better sign off before I get ......invalid.......again!

Hugs,
Denise

Hi everyone,
One tired ole' Harry Potter fan checking in here. Last night was great. We had over 600 people come through the church for the "sorting Hat" Ceremony. There was also a lecture on the spirituality of the Potter series that was well attended. After the release we had people coming back to the church to start reading. I left about 3am. Got home and into my jammies, got a glass of wine and continued reading until about 7am. Had a couple of naps during the day. Think my body knows what time it is now. Back to reading.

Oh, Denise, Pinky arrived today. She's sitting here patiently watching me while I read. Hopefully I'll finish the book to night and we can play tomorrow.

Take care everyone.

Cherryl

neesie

Hey Cherryl,

That was a fast trip!! Stupid post office people told me 'priority' would take 2 or 3 days and regular 4 or 5. I'm thinking it's only going to Chicago and chose the regular. 2 days and she made it!!!!
Glad you had a good time at the "Harry Potter" party last night!

Hugs,
Denise

Approximately 250 cds and thousands of pictures later I am done. YEHAW!!!! If daughter doesn't like it I'm keeping it for myself. Thanks for the compliments on the dresses. Since daughter got married right out of high school all her chums couldn't really afford the fancy dresses she wanted so we compromised and I made them.

Odalys, good for your stepson. Work is a good thing. Tell him to wash his face more often. Kids that work in fast food tend to have problems with acne cause of all the grease.

Gus/Sue, I will be saying extra prayers for your little one as he prepares for first grade.

Boo/Sue, low carb and flax seed. Sounds simply yummy.

Mandy and Wild Jan, very very nice to meet you.

Hi Susan, Puppy, and Iris.

Cheri, I did indeed. And being sister bumms makes us even closer. How cool is that.

Socal, what a beautiful group of ladies. Wish there were girls around here that I could meet up with.

Vicki, glad Nate is feeling better.

Dinner done, must feed the manperson. Have a great night.

Evening everyone, Morning Peter,

I am really tired of not being able to spend time here with my friends. I'm pooped, bruised, scratched up and just mentally exhausted. LOL

Okay, enough of my whining. I forgot to provide you guys with cheese.

I'm going to try to read back and will catch up with you all in the morning. I'm going to bed.

Hugs & Prayers for you all,
Liz
