    Nets - Hi and welcome.  I love your writing.  I can picture your talking with you Scottish accident and words.  I am sorry for your "new road trip." You will feel like you are going through a whirlwind but I think you are doing the right thing by learning as much as you can so you can make informed decisions on your care.

    Sue - you are so cute your vebalization. LOL I live in Texas and I'm about 16 hours away from Florida.  I'm not sure if I can meet everyone but i will try.  I am to start my reconstruction process over starting in April or May.  Just keep us informed on when you're coming andI will try to make it.

    Cathi - You are so funny.  I too liked the disco era.  I just wore the bell bottoms. 

    Lisa - I;m sorry to hear about you and Dennis.  I hope you are doing ok.

    Fumi - Please don't leave, take a break if you need to but please don't leave us.

    You know when someone leaves this sight it seems and feels like I loose a part of my family and a part of me.  Each one of have a special purpose for this site.  We may not know exactly what it is but we were led here for a special reason.  You ladies feel like real sisters to me and I look forward to reading this thread everyday.  I may not tell you how much you all mean to me or how much the jokes and stories of everyone's lives mean to me and how they make me smile or make me laugh or even cry.  I am not a very trusting person so I don't make friends well.   I have alot of acquantances and I make them laugh or smile but I haven't felt like I was a part of a group until I came to this thread and I thank you all for that.

    Goodnight everyone.

    Nets - welcome! I am so sorry that you had to join us but you will find lots of support here. You have had an extremely rough time lately with losing your brother and having financial difficulties and now this - it's hugely unfair.

    Lots of love to you

    Sue, I live 3,150 miles from Tampa (that's 5,069 km) ...just about as far away as you can get and still be in the states. It's a big country.

    I know that trill sound, Jane. I've never known how to describe it but Trill is very close. Agnes does it in the middle of the night when she wants me to play fetch with her. Grrrrrrrr.

    I think I've gotten an infection somewhere...pretty sick. I see the doc tomorrow morning. I'm beginning to regret having this surgery. Oh, well. Life goes on, doesn't it?

    Oh Judie.  Why can't things ever go smoothly?  I hope the doc gives you plenty of antibiotics to clear up that nasty infection.  In the meantime, snuggle up in your hugaghan and take good care of yourself.  Love you, Judie!

    ((((((((Leesa))))))))  I'm so glad that we can be here for you and that you've found comfort and support in our little group.  You've become a valuable member and we love you to bits!!  Thank YOU for being you!!

    Cathi, all this talk about disco has me envisioning John Travolta in his white, polyester leisure suit.  I have the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack on vinyl somewhere.  All this talk of disco makes me want to dig it out!!  You crack me up, Cathi!  I think you and I would have good times together.  Someday........

    Sue, if I didn't live so far away, I'd be there in a second to meet you!

    Fumi, please come back!  We love you and need you here! 

    Love and hugs,

    Karen

    Hi ladies,

    So nice a bit of you are getting together. A trip to the store is a big thing at the moment on my agenda now.

    I tried looking up Annie, under the screen name tht was posted here, to read her posts and get to know her,but can't find her anywhere.I'm so sorry another lady is gone. I hate this disease. Takes over too much.  

    The nurse came out yesterday and I learned more. She is worried about the one drain - since I see my ps today, they will clear it out in the office. She was concerened with infecting it doing it at home.

    My son n law was there for the visit. Nice guy, he knows everything ... so he thought until he spoke with Jill. lol. heard a lot of 'o, i didnt know that' from him. I just smiled. Jill says with my having the immunoglobulins at the time of the chemo may make the visits up to 8 hours long ... ACK! what will be will be. have to do it. I look at my surgery side and keep telling myself they are remaking it. Gonna be a miracle. I took a pic. Thinking of taking a different one, my face would scare you more than the breast would Surprised I wouldn't post that ... I want it for my history, to see the progress.

    The nurse suggested ensure for me to eat since i have no appetite and to get my vitamins in. She aslo says to asks about meds that are taken before chemo is started to make is an easier process.

    I see ps today, reglar surgeon fri, onc mon ... gonna move into the medical facility, save on gas.

    hugs to all,

    Cheryl

    OMG...DARN IT!!! I HAD THIS LONG POST ALL DONE...AND LOST IT!! Yell

    I wont repeat it all.

    short form. I remember Karyll...and I agree with Jane..she went to a friends, and the friend didn't have internet...and then we never heard from her again. There have been several women...remember Poppy?? Mamma Mia?? and more.

    I miss our ULLA!!! I know you are busy honey...pop in and say hello!! I love ya ulla.

    Sue...let me know if you have any questions regarding your travels. Rememer..that is my industry. The airport code for tampa florida is TPA. I am in Ohio..but I can travel anywhere you end up. So...I will come see you. I will try my best to bring Mel too. I can offer her a buddy pass to travel with me. It would be great as many as possible to get together.

    Thanks to all of you for your comments on my relationship with Dennis ending. I just didn't like the way it had become...and honestly, I don't think he did either. He works way to much...and I told him, that I hoped he didn't become a LONELY OLD MAN. I agree Jane..relationships are way more important. I thought ours was a very special one.  ???

    Judie...I hope you are feeling better. Darn it..can't you just recover without complications?? hugs to you.

    Cheryl, dink, and all that I haven't mentioned...xoxo to you.

    I am off work this morning. I have my biopsy at 11:00 am. A little nervous...but I am still hoping for the very best!

    Love to you sisters. I don't know where I would be today without all of you!!!

    xoxo

    I read through everything but don't have time to post much. I live 2 hrs north of Charlotte North Carolina (airport clt) and according to MapQuest about 670 miles or 11 hours from Indian Rocks Beach Florida. I would love to come and meet everyone. I will have to work out the financial details later.

    Snow, they called for snow last night but the high country will get 8-10 inches before the last front goes through tonight. We had a dusting last night but the cold north wind blew most of it away and temps were in the teens this morning. The high country is about 30 miles north of my house. This morning Charlotte had more ice and some snow.

    Lisa, the B9 chant is starting for your biopsy...

    We had a bit of snow, not more than a couple of inches where I live, on top of the few that were already there. But it's the ice that's causing most of the problems.  There were a few big pile-ups on the highways around the Tri-state area overnight. I am so-o-o ready for Spring and Summer.

    My husband was leaving Charlotte yesterday evening getting ready to head west on I-40 through the gorge between Asheville, NC & Knoxville, TN when he was notified of route change, 2 semi's jacknifed in the snow on the west bound I-40 blocking the road. He had to turn around and go to Atlanta before going up to Goodletsville TN to deliver. He is now heading to Monroe Township NJ for Wednesday morning delivery.

    Lisa also doing the b-9 chant.

    Nancy - We got about 5 inches of snow yesterday - it was wet so the roads where fine.

    Back to work I go.

    Well we don't have snow here in Sunny Fl - but DAM it's cold and only going to get worse today/tonite.  Here on the beach we may actually get a light frost, that is pretty rare as the water usually warms us enough,  my BIL lives an hour north and a VERY HARD freeze (temp near 19-21 degrees) is predicted there, bad for citrus and Strawberries.  BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT the good news back to 76 by weekend.

    Wow!  I feel badly for all you ladies with adverse weather conditions.  It's cold (around 30 degrees) here this morning, but the sky is blue, and we're expecting highs in the mid 50s this afternoon.

    I'm joining the "b9" chant, Lisa!  You hang in there, hon.  It's going to be FINE!!

    Please send positive thoughts my way today, ladies.  I'm having a mammo this afternoon.  I know it will be fine, but it's just nerve wracking every time. 

    Love and hugs,

    Karen

    Hi ladies. Thanks for the B9 chant and the prayers!

    Everything went well. My surgeon and the nurses were awesome!! Honestly..they made me laugh..and the procedure went really smooth. I was a little late getting in there...they were behind, so they gave me a movie pass and a ticket for popcorn and a drink as well. I got one last week when they did the mammo..so now my g/f and I can go catch a flick!

    I had to have a mammo afterwards too.  That wasn't so bad, since I was still pretty numb!

    I had a good feeling from my surgeon...so I am really feeling better. She didn't say  anything, but I could see it in her face...so hopefully B9.

    Back to work..and icing my boob! lol

    Love you all..and thanks again for the support!

    Karen...thinking of you...hugs!

    xoxo

    I have time to go back over what was discussed last night. I can't go back a page so I will just comment on what was posted here and what little I remember from the previous page.

    Sue I will do my best to try and get to see you and all the ladies on this trip down the yellow brick road this summer. 

    Nanna we took pictures during my recon, I wish I had taken more and dated them, I didn't have digital camera, we used cell phone camera. And the Anne that they spoke of, her screen name was HeatherBLocklear. She was one gutsy woman, full of spunk. I remember when she started posting in the fall of 07. I talked to her frequently about the problems she was having.

    Lisa, great you got movie tickets, still chanting. Sorry about your break-up with Dennis but maybe it was for the best.

    It is going to stay cold the next few days but by the weekend highs in the 60's. Our weather is so unpredictable. We have heavy coat weather a day or two then light jacket weather for several days. Right now I think it is about 35 but with a wind to bring down the wind chill temp.

    Judi, I hope you don't have an infection going on. I had such a smooth trip through my surgeries I just don't know how anyone handles the dissapointment with infections delaying procedures.

    sue, I could feel you thinking about us, could you feel me thinking about you? Yes our country is huge compared to England. You will need to get a map and flag where all your friends are. One of the trucking companies gave me a large wall calendar to put in my office with the map of the US on it and I am marking all the locations of our friends, there are a couple that I am having to mark with dots on the edge of the the map, You, Fumi and Jane. I don't want to forget any of my friends.

    Lisa, I'm so, so, happy that things went well.  I'm sure your gut it correct and that everything is just fine,
