My rad burns were pretty bad.  I also had a mastectomy but they still insited on radiation.  My burns showed up after the 25 rads and then the skin peeled off.  It was pretty raw and sore.  I feel for you Deb I hope you heal up soon.

Just got off the phone with Julz... what a cutie!  She's got to work tonight, enjoyed our talk...

I told her that I think I might write Oprah and tell her there's a group of gals that she might be interested in interviewing about bc.  If she could put us up for a weekend in Chicago together I'd do it...fat, bald and sickly!  lol

Hope you are all having a blessed night...

Saint if you are reading this wemiss you here, sweet sister and are so glad you are doing so great!...God is Able and He answered our prayers..........

Deb-from-Ohio

I think tomorrow I am going to call my oncologist and ask him what the percentage of a recurrance is if I just do what i have done versus the whole 30 radiation treatments. I only have 6 reg treatments and 5 boosts left and to put simply, I am tired of the whole thing. Went thru chemo, got sick.....went thru surgery, pain...and swelling.........go thru rads more pains with the 3rd degree burns and being burned inside and my breast still is swelled up twice the size of the other..just so sick of being sick, tired and in pain.........if it comes back, will deal with it then............

Deb......I feel so bad for your burns. My goodness, that sounds so painful. I'm glad they're giving you a break. Maybe you've had enough and won't have to go through that again. Seems like if it does that to your skin, it sure oughta be zapping those cancer cells.

Good morning Jayne, Nancy and Elaine.......hope you ladies have a great day.

bkc....I forgot to mention the thing about your office being destroyed. Wouldn't you just love to get your hands on those people? Probably kids out of school with nothing else to do. They need their little hinies spanked, that's what they need. A real spanking!!!

(((((((((((((Shiny)))))))))))) thinking about you this week girl!!!!!!! Hope everything is going according to plans.

Lucy.......let us know about the job situation, ok? Been praying for you!!

MaryRose and Jayne.....thinking about ya'll too....hope treatment hasn't been too harsh for you!

Arnie's feeling pretty good, 'cause she's wood working:)........probably making wooden vacuum cleaners for all the bunnies........LOL

Anybody heard from Lursa? I hope she's doing ok.

Kathleen is still in the hospital. Lucy is supposed to get us her address so we can bombard her with cards:)

OK.........said I was gonna quit with the name thing.......so I'm quitting right now......'cause I know I've forgotten somebody..........like MOM!! Hi Mom......hope things are going good for you. Hope the girls are loving each other today:)

I called Kathleen earlier. She sounded really good. Said she had about 3 more weeks to stay. They're giving her lots of anbitiocs to clear up the infection.

Really wishing I was sitting outside this old barn right now. Beautiful sunshine and about 68 degrees.......hoping Makraz is having a great vacation!!

Ok gals, know its been awhile.  It has just been a whirlwind of activity in my life, but all good things (two graduations, parties etc.) But I know I can count on you all. and I really need a shoulder to lean on right now.  Going for my prophylactic this coming Monday, and I am getting myself into an anxiety wreck.  On top of that, one of my good friends just passed away from breast cancer last night.  She has been fighting stage IV cancer for over twelve years and beaten every odd.  She even had her son (age 17) and husband die of cancer in the years when she fought.  She leaves behind a little 13 year old son who has lost his entire family to this disease.  So please pray for him, as I know she is smiling with her son and husband now in peace.  And while you are at it, I would really love if you can offer me some support as I am really hurting emotionally in so many ways right now.  Thanks so much.

coonie

Ok..........Arnie, I've been out looking for a sundress, and thought this one was cute. It comes with a hat too. Whatcha think? You like?

Now I gotta find a gift card for the tan

coonie

((((((((((((((((((Carolmarie)))))))))))))

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend! May she rest in peace. I'll be praying for her son too. Does he have grandparents or other family close by?

Marple

CarolMarie, what a horrible tragedy.  I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend.  This cancer crap sucks!  It makes me so angry!  That poor little fellow........

Sending you gentle hugs.

arnie

(((((((((((((Carolmarie)))))))))))))))))))  so sorry to hear that news.... I've been missing my sister Margee today... she passed from cancer November 2008.  We always got each other books for our birthdays and she always wrote something real special inside... treasure them...

 Coonie...thanks hon... you have such good taste!!!

Gramof3

Arnie,

This one's for you!  

Deb--Maybe there's something in this medicine cabinet to help you out.

coonie

Hey Gramof3.......you are in God's country!! Springfield, MO  .......do you get to Branson very often?

Jayne_in_UK

((((((((((Carolmarie)))))))))) so sorry about the loss of your friend. I'll remember her son in my prayers. Wishing you well for Monday.

((((((((((Arnie)))))))))) sorry to hear about your sister. I still miss my brother who passed from lung cancer on 12th July 2003.

Sharon is right, this cancer crap sucks big time!

Gramof3

Coonie,

I love it down here (except for the ice in the winter).   I was in Branson 2 weeks ago with my son, DIL and grands.  We went to "Steal Your Dollar City!"  My son called it that so much, that it's what my 5 yr old grandd thinks it is really called.  Am going again later this month--so many fun things to do!

coonie

Oh Gram!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooo jealous!!!  We go a few times a year. We have a timeshare in Hollister. HAHA....Steal Your Dollar City!!! That's 'bout right:) It is a fun place to go though. I just love it at Christmas time. Of course, I love it in the Fall too. Well shucks, I just love Branson all the them. My BIL and SIL live in Springfield. Beautiful area!!! We usually meet up at Lamberts!
