Hi ladies..

Hmmmm something about myself that none of you know....thats going to be hard because AE and I have participated for a long time in another group....I will have to think about this one for a bit!!!!

work has been silly crazy for me this past week so I havent had much time here..I did read back to see how everyone is but am not even going to try to reply to each of you...

To the ladies who are dicussed reads...I love to read....someone mentioned Daniel Steel....love it, also have started reading Debbie McComber as she lives in my parents home town here in Washington.....I also like historicals, biographies, heck just depends on my mood on what I read....

Mel-sorry to hear you hubby has been ill....hope they hurry up and fix him...

The pics that have been posted are beautiful!!!!!

Shirlann-I just attended our local hot air balloon festival but dont have much for pics as my camera is on the fritz!!!!!!

The teenage kid stuff----my kids were pretty easy to get through the teenage years, but just like everyone elses here had thier moments!!!!!!! but yes to whomever said, its the base foundation you give them at home that generally wins out in the long run!!!!

Well, work is calling again so gotta run, will try to check back on you all again a little later.

Hugs

Jule

Ulla

well sisters at last am in the real world again..

i read all ur posts,,did took so long!!!!!!!!!!!!

i had the zoladex inj today..DH came with me,,i didnt feel anything till now.,,mom kept preying for me all the day..

i just finished a long call with her,,

well well well..i feel jealouse of all of ur talents,,

the only thing that i am really good in is writing poem..(ARABIC SURE!!!!)

my family and my friends asked me many times to publish some of my poems,,i just couldnt..i feel that it will be like exposing my very inner side,,the highly protected side of me,,the most delicate and fragile,,how can i just let it go to ppl who i dont know them??

am sorry ,,i feel like i have nothing compared to all of u ,,but its just who i am..

love u

my3girls

Ulla darling...why do you say that?? I couldn't write a poem if I tried!  We all have our own special things about ourselves.  I do understand about wanting to keep those writings private.  My trying skydiving is not a talent...just something about me that I wanted to share.  Something rather crazy that I tried!! haha. I am glad things went well with your injection Ulla. What are you feeling now?

If you have a hangover when you enter the Emerald City, blame it on Manchester instead of chemo. It seems more fun. This is momentous and amazing. You earned your slippers. I'm proud of you, too, and all the women who helped you along the way.

Extra special hugs on the way for Bootfaceless Bolton Sue!

Dearest Sue, I am late checking in (just got back from Sydney - rushed trip - dentist etc) to wish you all the very best and lots of love and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! By the time you read this you will have finished your last treatment! What a huge, hard, long, seemingly-never-ending slog it has been! You are one hell of a woman! Love you!

Lots & lots of love,

Hi everyone else too! Haven't had time to read all your posts. Ulla - you should be proud of your poetry talent. Poetry is important! I hope you are still writing poetry - it's so theraputic when you are feeling sad, bad, in love, desperate, happy...etc. There is nothing like getting it all out there on the page. I understand how personal it is. I wrote lots of poetry as a teenager. Years later, my first husband found my poems and read them. He wrote a few comments beside them (mocking ones) so I took my folder of poems outside and burnt them all. I wish I hadn't now...

Hi also & love to Karen, Jule, Judie, Shirlann, AE & UB, Sheila, Lisa, Melody, AnnW, AnnNYC, Avastin Annie and everyone else. (I know I've not mentioned everyone but you know I haven't forgotten you - it's just my tired brain).

Great news Ulla on getting another consult with a different onky who sounds like he is up to date on the treatments of different aspects of BC. I guess the squeeky wheel got the grease.

Congrats on passing your Swedish language test. I wish I was fluent in another language. You have a talent that I am envious of, multiple languages.

Good luck getting your port out.

Hi everyone-

Valerie reminded me that today is Sue's last treatment and I just wanted to congratulate her and to wish her well. The love and support everyone has given her throughout her ordeal, as well as the support you all have given and continue to give to each other is truly remarkable. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the privilege of being able to call all of you friends.

Im sure Ive missed you but I wanted you to know how proud I am of you!!!!!

This is it sweetie.....you have kicked bootface ass!!!!!!!

Hugs

Sue -- congratulations!!!!!!!  Hugs and kisses!  You deserve medals of honor, vacations on tropical islands, hours and hours of fun with your boys and your friends!  You have been so forceful through all of this!  i'm so happy for you!  And happy and honored to know you through the written word (and pictures!).

Ulla -- congratulations on acing your Swedish-language test -- and getting the prize of a new oncologist!!!!!!!!  That sounds wonderful!  And about your poems -- I hope you keep writing, and keep safe copies.  You know, Emily Dickinson kept her poems tied in ribbons in her desk, unseen by others until the end of her life, when the world finally learned what a genius she was.  But maybe you will feel like "untying" your poems yourself in 10 or 20 or 50 years from now!  Anyway, it's already clear to me that you have many great gifts, and I am so happy it sounds like your life is ready to begin to let you enjoy them!

Love to all,

Ann

HELLO ALL!

SUE - CONGRATULATIONS SWEETTHING, YOU DID IT! I can not wait to be like you and round that corner to the finish line! My prayers and thoughts to you as you end this journey and begin another. Gooodluck!

To everyone else - Just wanted to drop a few lines before I head off to the ps. May get my stitches out? not sure yet? I also find out if i can go back to work? A part of me wants too and a part of me doesn't want to miss out on anything my kids do. It's soo hard. I wish I could win the lotto and give most of it away but keep enough to be comfortable and just raise my kids. ( sorry, was dreaming how wonderful that would be) Anyways lets hope I get a little good news today?!

I'll stop in later

HUGS AND KISSES!

Elton John's - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - how cool was that??????

Ulla - I was so thrilled to hear of your good news. Congratulations on your fantastic results in your Swedish exam - you obviously have a big talent there as well! I am so glad you are seeing another onc - it will be very interesting to see what he has to say. I hope he's really nice too. Will pray that the port removal doesn't hurt. I'm sure it will feel great to not have it any more though!

Sue - you've finished! Yippeeeeeee! I hope you are feeling not too bad after this last treatment. 

Love to everyone

Dear Sisters and ub xxx

I am sat here streaming with tears of love....xxx

AE.. the video of Dorothy and the clips of the cast are etched so deeply in me...and Elton Johns'... song " good bye yellow brick road"...

I will never ever forget a journey that has taught me how to live better...love better...accept love and support ....it has taught me to live life in the moment ...to go back to appreciating the small things in life...has made me a better mother ..... and all in all a nicer person xxx

BOOTFACE IT IS OVER FOR GOOD .... YOU TAUGHT ME THE GOOD (I dont't do bad)  AND THE UGLY ...THE UGLY HAS GONE....AND THE GOOD IS HERE TO STAY.....!!!!!

I AM NOW GOING TO GET OVER THIS LAST TX AND TAKE STOCK XXX

i LOVE YOU sisters...SORRY FOR THE CAPS i AM SOOOO TIRED AND SICK XXX

NancyD

Hooray for Dorothy (Sue)!

AE: I'm having my fourth (of a planned six) on Thursday. The other two won't be until after surgery.

I still don't know what I'll end up having...lump or mast. The MRI was really positive...no sign of the tumor, but it will be the comparison of the PET I had today with the one done in March that will be more telling as it will be comparing like to like. The surgeon was trying to get clean margins. Well, if the MRI can be trusted, he got a whole lotta clean margins, so I don't know what he will recommend now. It was mx before; maybe it still will be. I will be seeing him in early June, and the surgery will probably be in early July.

So the post-surgery chemo will probably start in mid-August and be over in early September. Then on to rads. I'll be looking great for Halloween...maybe I will be Uncle Fester.

Sue,

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your journey to Emerald City - it was truly something I will never forget.  I am, and always will be your..........
