What a wonderful day this is!! I just got teary eyed and goose bumps reading all the posts..along with the wondeful news.

Sue honey...you did it!!! OMG...I am so proud of you...and I can hardly believe the time is finally here! You beat it! Dorothy..."there is no place like home"..and you are there!

Ulla...great news for you sweetie!! I am glad you have a new oc and that you aced your test! You will be so relieved to have that port out..I know I was. I will think of you next Thursday, and say a prayer for you to have strength and an easy surgery.

Suebee..I am glad to hear you are doing better. Have you heard anything as to if you will need any chemo at all? I know it's hard to head back to work and leave your children. I was very fortunate (well it took allot of budgeting) to stay home with my girls while they were growing up. I didn't have to go to work until my divorce. Here is to winning the lottery!

UB...you are such a dear. Val you and your husband are an amazing couple. When I read your posts...you can just feel the love! I got chills reading UB post...so very tender. I hope both of you are doing well.

I won't be able to view your youtube or pics till I get home. Right now it looks like I will be at work for at least another 45 min. It's 7:30pm now...our flight is delayed.

Much love to all my sisters...on this very happy, joyous occasion!!

Celebration!!

Oh..I love the fact that you heard EJ's song AE...how appropriate! I love Elton...I listen to his cd in my car all the time!!

Congratulations Sue! You made it!!! I'm so happy for you!

Also, congrats Ulla for passing your class! What a great feeling.

I hope you both feel OK too after your treatments/meds.

Amazing how far we all have come... but we are all making it one way or another.

My surgery will be June 11th to get the expanders exchanged for implants. I am busy doing things to get my house ready, etc.

Thank you all for caring about me.

I sure wish we could have a big party to celebrate our successes...

I'd love it if Oprah could help us... that's probably the only way I'd ever be able to go anywhere... LOL...

You are all in my heart and I think of you all often.

Hugs!

Oh my gosh AE!lol Do you and Lisa remember that day we said we looked like uncle Fester , and Sue and Ulla looked him up on the net and were soooo shocked! We grew up watching him, but they didn't! Poor girls. But that was so funny.lol

I'm sitting here in bed with Chase and catching up on the posts from today. I'm all teary-eyed and filled with love for each and every one of you.

Sue, you did it sweetie!!!! This is the last time you have to feel so ill! I know that being finished with tx's comes with mixed feelings, but you're going to be FINE!! You have totally annihilated bootface a$$!!! I am so very happy for you!!! Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey.

AE, how amazing that that song came on! Goodbye FOREVER Yellow Brick Road! Our Sue has made it to the Emerald City.

Congratulations, Ulla! I'm so happy that you passed your test. I'm even more happy that you have a new onky. That other jerk just made me so angry!! You deserve so much better.

UB, I was so touched when I read your very sweet post. You are truly one of us! You and AE are so lucky to have eachother and we're lucky to know you both!

Suebee, how great that you're feeling better! I hope everything continues to go as scheduled for you.

Much love to everyone--Mel, Lisa, Jane, Wren, Nancy, Anne, AnnNYC, Shirlann, Sheila, Jule, Judie, and anyone I may have missed.

Hugs,

Oh! I forgot to tell you all that I've been asked to participate in a research study. Someone from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is coming to interview me on June 2. I'm kind of looking forward to it. They're doing a study on why some young women develop breast cancer and others don't. Should be interesting!

Hugs,

Karen

Dear Sue,

September 11, 2007 to May 20, 2008. Diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy treatment.

Congratulations, Sue, on finishing your last chemo infusion yesterday. I still follow along, and had a smile on my face this morning, which I had to join with a note of encouragement to you. You've walked a long yellow brick journey with your friends, and certainly deserve a massage and hair salon visit prior to meeting Oz. Then he may send you back to time without surgery and chemo, to just living and working, and being a Mom and friend.

If anyone fit's Dorothy in this well documented role, it's you Sue. But don't click those brilliant red shoes together quite yet, as you want this last chemo effect to pass, so you go home well!

You've made many friends on the way to Oz,

Tender

Nancy, my mom actually started losing her hair on Halloween! we had gone out to supper that evening and all was well, she went home and her head started itching, when she went to scratch, she brought her hand down with a lot of hair. She did not do much with it that night but called her beautician the next morning and she took mom in right away and washed out as much as possible before cutting any off. she showed mom how to put her wig on and when Mom showed up at my job the next morning, I did not realize that it was her wig not her real hair. It went by quick.

Hi Lucy! How good to hear from you again! Hope your soreness passes soon.

Kaloni, you may be new to this thread but you should consider yourself very much a part of it. I always enjoy reading your posts. How are you feeling today (tonight)?

Nancy - we will all be here for you as you travel the yellow brick road. Sue did it tough but she has triumphed and you will too.

So good to hear from Tender too. Your posts are always so welcome.

Karen, that's great that you are involved in a research study and it will be interesting to know what the results will be. It's a good feeling to be able to give back in some small way in the hope of finding out more and developing knowledge and weapons against bootface.

Wren, it will be so good to have your exchange surgery over. We will all be here to support you as you recover from surgery.

UB - loved your post. It's so great to have you here!

My posts will probably be shorter and fewer over the next few weeks as we have started renovations and packing and I have a lot of assignments due for my class.

Love to all I have mentioned and all I haven't.

Lucy! We've missed you!! It's so good to hear from you--I know you're busy, but don't be such a stranger.

Hello to Tender and Kaloni as well. I always enjoy hearing from the both of you.

Hi Jane, Shirlann, Ulla, and Sheila! Hope everyone else is having a wonderful day. How is dear Sue? Feeling yucky, I imagine. Just think--this is the LAST time you have to go through this!!

I had my follow-up witht he rad onc today. I don't have to see him again. Yipeee!!! One less doctor!!

Love and hugs to everyone.

Hopefully our dear Sue is resting! I am still overwhelmed at the thought of you being done Sue. I told Olivia tonight that you finished yesterday...she was so happy to hear that!

Tender...what a beautiful post! I always love to read your loving words.

Jane darling...you will be one busy lady!! Packing..oh my...no fun there. We will take long or short posts from you...we just love hearing from you! Your posts always bring a smile to my face.

Karen..one less doctor!! What a great feeling. I think that is great that you are going to take part of a study. Let us know how that goes.

Melody...you made me think back and laugh..reading about the time we talked of Uncle Fester! haha...I remember like it was yesterday!

Lucy!! Great to hear from you!! I think about you allot. Funny, I was just wondering the other day, how you were doing, and if you check in here at all. What surgery did you have done? Keep popping in, we love to hear from you!! I remember you posting from your hospital bed...it does seem like yesterday!

Well ladies...I am off to relax with Olivia and watch American Idol...who will win?? David Cooke is my favorite!! He will be famous no matter what. His voice is awesome..very sexy!

Take care everyone. Our trip with Sue may be done....but we will all still be together and helping the other dear sisters here, Nancy and Sueebee..and Wren..finish their journeys.

Now let the yellow brick road...take us to OPRAH...and that will definately be our EMERALD CITY..when we all meet!!
