Faith you go girl.(((hugs)))

Oh bkc!!! I will be praying for Sam and YOU!! I know that's so hard to see your loved one suffer. Sending you hugs and prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell the girls hello for me!
BARBE!!!! What's going on with the kitties?? I wonder where the blood is coming from?? My Lucky seems to be out of pain, but he's still not himself. Just lays around alot. He's usually very active and follows me every step I take, but now he just likes to rest. It may be the meds making him like that! Hope you find out which kitty is having trouble. (((HUGS)))
Faithie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know I'll be thinking about you all day today!! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to walk for the sistahs!! I know your heart is so big, and I can just imagine the hundreds of thoughts that will be going through your head today. I wish you a great walk today. Looking forward to pics----as always!!
Hugs to the rest of the bunnies! Hope you all have a wonderfully blessed Sunday!!!
No housecleaning today!!
((((Arnie)))) will be thinking about you tomorrow as you get started on radiation. Another step to completing treatments!!!

Way to show that bulldog Nancy.
(((prayers and healing vibes out to bkcand brother))))
-
Coonie how is Lucky today?Sorry we were typing the same time.
-
Arnie durring rads don't be afraid to overdoe the skin care. Just plaster the cream on after your treatment.Good luck.
-
Good morning Mum---thanks for asking. He's just laying around alot. Doesn't seem to be in pain, but it's not like him to be laying around. He makes every step I do, but he hasn't this weekend. I think the meds may zap his energy. It just breaks my heart to see how old he's getting. I keep saying when I lose these two dogs I won't get anymore. But......they sure have given our family lots of joy over the past 14 years.
-
Dogs have masters, cats have staff!
-
hehe LOL
So TRUE!!!
-
Barbe - so true! Hope you figure out which cat is bleeding - do you think its a urinary tract infection?
Coonie - still praying for Lucky. Kiss him for me!
BKC - putting Sam on the prayer list. Please pray for mine too (he's actually my uncle but since we are exactly the same age, he's like my brother). He had colon cancer 10 years ago and now has skin cancer - the serious one - melanoma. It is located slightly down from the top of his ear. They took a biopsy then went back and cleaned up the margins took at a lymoph node to biopsy - we haven't heard back about that. Monday he goes in for the first of two plastic surgeries. He and my aunt were over last night and I saw it - it looks like a children took a bite out of his ear!
As my cat continues to get healthier he is into everything. He weights 7.5 pounds but he comes down the steps sounding like a herd of elephants, bounces (literally) off of walls and Friday the podiatrist gave me some rub on cream for nerve pain which he adores. This morning I found him licking the night side where I had the cream! I wonder if it numbs his tongue?!
-
Kathleen---it sounds like Oliver may be addicted to your cream
That is so funny! I'll give Lucky a kiss for you. He LOVES kisses. Of course, if I give him one, I'll have to give Opie one too 
My prayers will be with your uncle. Hopefully, the nodes will be clear.

Good morning ladies,
Kathleen-Prayers for your Uncle. I hope everything turns out ok.
Thank you to everyone for prayers for Sam. He has always been a combination big brother -father figure to me. He was the person to teach my son how to "pee like a man", rode my girls around on his shoulders,and been there for me my whole life. Even though he always said he hated me cause he was "MAMAS BABY" for so long and then I had to come along and spoil it all. He never had children of his own but adopted his wife's 4 and now has15 grandchildren. He looks out for all of the neighborhood kids young and old like a mother hen. And is not afraid to give the older ones a good lecture when needed or patch up a scrapped knee. We live in a small town and everyone knows "Uncle Sam". He has been my hero my whole life and for the record he never did stop being Moms favored child.
I don't know why but I always come back here when I'm feeling extremely high or extremely low. I just always know that you guys are always here and that no matter what crazy things are going on in our world I can always depend on you for laughs and a hug or two when I need it.You are all awesome.((((((HUGS)))))

((((((((((((((bkc and Sam))))))))))))) (((((((((((Kathleen and Uncle)))))))))))))
((((((((((Coonie's pup))))))))) (((((((((((Barbe's meow's)))))))))))))))
Faithy....hope you have a marvelous walk!
Lefty..good for you...but know about the aches!!!!
Thank you for all the good wishes about radiation.... I just keep thinking almost over...almost over!
My gs just called us and asked us to come to his Halloween party this afternoon... was gonna just rest today but how can you turn down a sweet little voice like that???? Sooooooooo I'm off to rest before venturing out...
Hope you all have a blessed day.....(((((((((((hugs all around))))))))))))))

Oh Arnie, birthdays!!! I'm really sorry to all whose birthdays I have missed. I did say I had been in chemo land, looks like I was right.
So belated birthday wishes to Deborye, Gramof3, Merilee. Hope you all had wonderful birthdays.
Deb-from-Ohio, facebook reminded me of yours sweetie so at least I sent my wishes on there.
Jaimieh early birthday wishes to you for October 28th. I might have gone back to chemo land again by then.
Barbe have you been able to track down which one of your cats the blood is from? Hope it is nothing serious.
Faith I hope you enjoyed your run this morning and got some pics to share with us.
((((((bkc and Sam)))))) prayers and healing vibes being sent for you both.
Nancy well done to you for the Walk to Fight BC. Had to laugh about the bulldog.
Coonie I hope Lucky is doing better today. It could well be that the meds are zapping his energy, if you think what some of the meds we take do to us, it make sense. Does he have to take them for much longer?
Kathleen prayers and healing vibes for your uncle too. Lol at Oliver and your nerve pain cream! They are so funny sometimes the things they will lick.
Both my cats used to sometimes lick and chew my hair, when I had hair on my head, so pre-chemo. Not something I ever encouraged. Anyway the other evening I was sat down with Ronnie (cat) on my lap and he suddenly sat up and started licking my head where I have a little bit of hair growing back. I let him get on with it; maybe it will help it to grow.
Arnie enjoy the Halloween party! Hope rads go well for you too.
((((Hugs to all)))).

Morning all,
It's National Pink Ribbon Day here is Oz........Thought I was prepared for it even though I am only 8 months out from dx!
Firstly woke up with my 6 weekly flood aka my period, have some sort of sinus thing happening, is my first official Ribbon Day and open the paper to see all about BC. Was going okay until I read about some woman who said that in the year since her diagnosis hasn't shed a tear as she is so positive. Well I started to cry,(just proves what a baby am I) and now feel just like rubbish.
Reading about the "positive woman" made me feel like not only am I am failure in getting breast cancer and also failed because some times I cry, feel sad, etc. Does anyone else feel like that sometimes?
Well must head off the work. I had thought I would stay home sick but think the company will do me good. Will check back on you girls later during the day.
Big Hugs
Viv

Jayne--you're right about the meds. I'm thinking that's what has Lucky zapped with no energy. Of course, I'd rather see him resting that to be in pain. Thank you for asking:) I hope your week is good. Another week closer to the end of treatment....yaaaaay!!
((((Viv))) girlfriend!!! You are NOT alone with the emotions!!! Believe me!!!!!!!! I think we ALL have our "yuck" days!!! I know I do. I try to be positive, but sometimes it's just hard. There's nothing really positive about getting breast cancer. We just have to take one day at a time and be thankful for each day we DO have. I know there are some days if somebody just looks at me wrong, the tears start flowing. Hang in there girl!!! You can do it!!
Edit to add: we're all the same.....uugghhh, well, maybe not EXACTLY the same.......LOL
-
((((Viv)))) I really hope your day improves. I hate that you feel a failure for getting breast cancer and for not feeling positive all the time. In answer to your question, yes I do sometimes feel sad and cry, unexpected things can set me off. Not all the time, I find I am very up and down since being diagnosed. Maybe we are both babies, but I think we are getting through it the best way we can. I am literally taking it one day at a time and can hardly believe how the time is passing, nearly 7 months since diagnosis for me. We can do it, even if we don't feel positive all the time. Hugs xoxoxo
-
Brilliant pic Coonie! Just seen your post.
-
I'm sorry that stupid newspaper made you cry. God gave us tears to wash away pent up emotions. It is good for the soul as is primal screaming - I've done both. I bet collectively just among these boards enough tears have been shed to fill an ocean. So, you are not a failure, and not a baby, you are human. If I weren't a half world away I would come hug you Love - Kathleen

oooooooooooooooooooooooooo vivvy girllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
I put up more pics over @ FB and have also blogged a couple of posts -- with additional pictures.
"Somehow" in all of that sea of pink, I was asked to go up on stage and be 'interviewed' by the local radio-show celebrity d.j. who was acting as M.C. for the whole morning. See blog for ramble.
Nancy so glad you were able to participate in yours.
Our weather was delightful. Nippy. But the brisk air was a good thing. Blue skies after two days of rain so I was thrilled.
xx00xx00xx
We leave tomorrow before dawn for a week's adventure -- several days in Chicago & then on to Saint's house for a couple.
If I can get my laptop to work from the car again, maybe I can finally get caught up around here.
Hugs hugs hugs to each & all. Prayers to those in need.
(My blog address is just below -- in my 'signature' here..... for the rest of the pics.)

Oh Vivvy, don't believe everything you read or hear! That woman is just portraying how she HOPED she was. After my dad died of lung cancer I was stunned to hear my step-mom telling everyone how brave and strong he was, that he never complained for one second. OMG what a FAT lie!!! He bitched and moaned every second of the 2 1/2 years it took him to die! He used to say he wasn't going to die of cancer he was going to die of constipation from the pain meds! I'm not saying I blame him for bitching as I'm pretty sure I'm not going to go down quietly, but don't make him a saint after death!!
You'll hear me as I go, I promise! -
Barbe - great post! After my Mom (who I loved dearly) died, my siblings wanted to name her for sainthood too. She, like all of us, was flawed. She never really wanted children and spent her life feigning illness so she would not have to deal with them. She took the path of least resistance every time. She was a very intelligent woman who was a product of her time and primary family. I loved her but she was no saint!
Faith fabulous pics. I am going over to your web site shortly to get the full story.
Coonie - you are uncanny - you always find just the right photo to post to suit the occasion!
Remember - no housework!
-
Kathleen---I love that pic you posted! Wish I had one framed for my house.
Barbe--one of your kitty's still having some bleeding problems. I think my Lucky is feeling some better. I've started adding back some of his regular food to the bland food the doctor put him on. Still not 100%, but I think we're heading in the right direction.
(((Vivvygirl))) sure hope you're feeling better today.
Faithie!!! Wouldn't you just know it???!!! For some reason, I can't get to your blog page. Evidently, I'm having problems with my computer. It seems that I can't talk on instant messenger anymore either. I might have to reboot this old gem and start all over. I'll get DD to show me pics on FB.
(((Arnie))) Thinking about you today girlfriend with starting those rads!!! Sure hope it all goes well and you get 'er done real soon.
(((MaryRose))) port still coming out Wednesday? I'll be thinking about you. You'll feel so good to have that foreign object out of your chest. I still have a bad habit of rubbing the spot where mine used to be. It feels good to have it gone!
SHARON!!!!! Am I gonna have to come up there and get you? I miss you here!!! I want you to come back "home".
Shinygirl---sure hope you have a great week. Hope the pain has subsided and you're able to enjoy the kiddos without hurting. Sending you big hugs this week!
KAK---where are YOU??? Are you ok? I've missed you too! Hope you're just enjoying life "after Tamoxifican". Hope the fatigue situation is under control.
MAK---guess you're busy with the boys? Are you feeling ok?
MUM--hope you're recovering well after your surgery. Still doing the happy dance for your path results!!!
Jayne--hope you have a good week girl.
Jane--you too!! How are things going for you?
BKC--Sending you prayers and hugs for you and your family.
Nancy--I bet you've got something going on. It seems like you stay pretty busy.
EWB--how's it going with you? Your mom? I've been missing your posts. My DD and I were talking this morning about how many weeks are left in this semester. It's hard to believe this will be her last semester before she starts her student teaching. Just can't WAIT for her to start getting her own paycheck!! LOL........DH and I will be getting a payraise next August, for sure!!
Big shoutout to Jaimieh, Cheryl, 2new1's, Lori, PatMom, Dejaboo, Cathi, Footie, Lucy, Dream, and any other dustbunny my brain cannot remember right now. I wish you all a wondermous Monday!!! How 'bout we have a "no housekeeping day".............just 'cause it's Monday!!
Big hugs to ya all!!

Hi everyone. I do try to keep busy. Sat my DS and DIL did the Walk to Fight BC with me (we did 3.5 K) , then brunch after. I went to bingo that evening and 2 gals gave me a beautiful pale pink ribbon pin with sneakers on the end of the "ribbon" - because I did the walk.
Yesterday I met with several from this site and 3 of my former chemo buddies for lunch. We had a wonderful time and pics are on " Are there any Northern Virginia gals " thread. I am the one in the pink sweater on the end.
Today I am going to the Senior Center to retrieve my embellished bra that the statue of Mother Goose is wearing for Pinktober. There is an informal women's health talk given by the nurse for one of the leading BC surgeons in the area. And tomorrow, if the weather holds, I will Metro over to an investment seminar to see what I can do to pump up my IRA account.
But I assure you all, I am doing as little house work as possible... HUGS, Nancy

Ditto everything coonie said....
I remember sitting by my sis at this time last year as she was dying...everyone in the room was singing her praises...she leaned towards me and said, "Jan, they're trying to make me a saint", I looked at her and said, "Margee you're good but you're no saint!!!" We both had a good laugh...
Viv...(((((((((hugs girlfriend)))))))))))))
Coonie...glad to hear Lucky is feeling better, it's so hard to watch them grow old!!! They don't last long enough!!!!
Texas...two more days and you'll be deported!!!! YEAH!!!
SHARON...WHERE ARE YOU?????? A few pics of my little grandkidlets...
We had fun....
xoxoxo
-
awwhhh Arnie....CUTE pics!! Looks like you had fun!
-
Vivvy- I heard a saying once...tears are the safety valve of the heart when too much pressure is placed on it. Cry whenever you need to. (((hugs)))
Faith- loving your pics here and on Facebook! You rock!
Coonie and Arnie- YES, port is coming out on Wednesday!!!! Cannot wait and scared to death to have it done too!! I can't believe she is going to do it in her office with a local. My nurse told me to take a Xanax and I am definitely going to do that! And Arnie, those grandbabies are adorable!
Still praying and sending good thoughts to the furbabies.
It is POURING rain here AGAIN. Where was this all summer while we were drying up and blowing away? I really need to go to the grocery store and I hate going when it's pouring. I think I'll wait a bit and see if it slacks off some. It's supposed to.
Hugs to all!
-
Viv, I can tell you that I have cried periodically since my diagnosis. I do not think that means I am weak. It is normal to fell tearful at times. You are not alone. (((hugs)))
TexasRose, am I your friend on FB? If not, can I be? You'll recognise me by my scary halloween avatar picture:
Arnie, your grandkids are so cute!
Coonie, that picture is hilarious!
Hugs to all our furry friends feeling under the weather.
My kids want me to got to the store to buy them food. Mind you the fridge is full of food, just not what they like! (insert rolling eyes here) I told them after THEY clean the kitchen I will go shopping. hehe How's that for strategy!
