Cookiegal - WOOOO HOOO!!!!  Good news hon, glad to hear it

Lovesmyfamily - I knew what it was, didn't know whether you'd want that memory revisited!!  I was so glad to be able to share the wigs, I'm glad you passed them on too.  Nice to "see" you again, and I'll definitely send you a PM next time we get together - probably soon after the holidays.

Thank you all for the "welcome" and yes I do post on other threads...I just sat here and laughed and giggled over the pictures and sayings etc., sometimes no responce is necessary but if I had to it would be   Oh couldn' t we all write a book and then some....and I think everytime we all write and post it is just but a chapter in this huge NOVEL on BC and it's effects and such, no where have I written and read so much for so many.  I thank you all for expressing yourselves like the individuals you all are, snowflakes, every one different and special in it's own way!!!!

update on my best friend Cheryl her Pet Scan came back clean so no cancer.  She will go back in 6 months.  Her onco at MD Anderson is sending her to a pulmonologist to try to figure out why she is coughing so much and the anitbiotics have not worked.  She is now thinking that maybe she has developed asthma.  Thanks for all your prayers.

Sherryc - So glad to hear Cheryl does not have cancer.  Hope the drs are able to figure our her cough.  Cyber (((HUG))) for you and Cheryl

Love all the pictures!  Would any of you be willing to share with me how you are able to do that?  I have a MAC..... thanks!

OR is there a thread somewhere on this forum that maybe someone posted how to do it?

Thanks again!

It may work the same with a Mac, I am not sure.

When you find a picture on the web you like, you copy the image url.  Click on the picture of a tree on the tool bar for posting, and paste the url info in the top box.  Then hit submit.

jo1955

Tori - I sent you a PM with instructions on how to insert the pics.

barbe1958

I looked for that tree for weeks.

The tree is to the left of the smiley face in your reply box at the top.

Meece

It would be nice if there were a thread that described several of the ways to post a picture.

Loviedox

Hello Ladies, I am new to this site and forum but I am now here.  Was diago 8-25-09 w/ HER2 + and ER+ cancer stage 1, less than 1cm grade 2. 0 nodes.  I went through 6 Chemos and 8 Herceptins and now on Femara.  I just had the other side removed for safety in my eyes and started reconstruction.

BUT today after hearing Elizabeth Edwards was lossing her battle and my own Aunt was to I got depressed and wondered why I was still here.

If it was not for all my sisters, nieces and some close friends I would have given up in the beginning but them who would rescue the dogs and care for them and my horses.

Just a Vent.\

Thank you for listening

Meece

Welcome, Michele.  It can be very distressing to here about others who have lost or are losing their battle with the same monster you went up against.  We have no clear cut reasons why, but what we do have is the knowledge that we are survivors.  And we should not waste the rest of the life which we have been given pondering the what ifs.  We all feel down about our journey now and again, but if our experiences can help one person to have an easier time going through treatment, or to seek an exam or mammo earlier than they had planned, then we have a purpose.  Michele, you are a gift to someone, and there is no reason to give up.

Hi, Loviedox, you are welcome to hang out with us here.  My Dx is almost identical to yours but with one big difference.  I am Her2-, so chemo was not a part of my treatment.  You are still here because you still have a lot of living to do, and I am sure your family and friends will tell you the same.

I did not hear the latest about E. Edwards, but that is so unfair.  Of course, I think all women should triumph over cancer, but seeing how she had to have the humiliation of her husbands cheating exploits made so public, I really wish she had caught a break dealing with her B/C.  Not only her either.  If anyone out there had a philandering mate/former mate, that is all the more reason to do everything to survive and exact the best revenge, which is LIVING WELL.  That's my inner "She-Devil" talking!!!  I'm gonna Google and see what is up with E.E. 

Posting pictures...I have a PC, but if Mac works the same then Meece has pretty much described how to.  Thanks Meece!

Meece

It appears that EE's physicians have told her that even the most aggressive tx will be useless at this time.  She is at home under hospice care right now.

elimar86861

Read the Yahoo News article.  This is something from there that she posted on her Facebook:

"The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered," she wrote. "We know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human. But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful."

                                                   

That woman has class.  (I remember when she dropped in at our One Year thread party too!)

Meece

What one year thread party?

elimar86861

Aug 22nd was our One Year anniversary, remember?  Of course, if you CAN remember, you weren't really there!!!

Meece

Yes, I remember that.  Duh.  Somtimes it feels like this thread has only bee around 11 months!

elimar86861

To refresh your memory...some special (Mid-Age) celebrity guests stopped by, but Elizabeth also did (even tho' she is a little older) just because she liked to party!

Time goes slower here on the Mid-Age thread, so we can all feel YOUNG for a long time.

Another posting pics question. I know how to post pictures I find online. Is there a way to post my own pics from my computer? Or do I have to upload them online somewhere and post from there? So far I've just posted ones I uploaded to my blog, but sometimes I would like to post others, especially on the In the Garden thread (or whatever the title is). Thanks!

ToriGirl

May Elizabeth Edwards rest in peace....

Eph3_12

Elizabeth is resting now safe & at peace & the beast can no longer hound her.  May her family be comforted by the grace and love she was able to exhibit in her final years! 

elimar86861

Holy Cow!  The article I read an hour ago just said that she was stopping treatment and there was nothing more they could do for her.  What a shock that she is gone already.  Well, I guess she was able to keep a low profile at the end.  She certainly deserved the privacy.  R.I.P. Sister-Girl E. E.

ToriGirl, I post my pics a bit differently.  I have an account on SnapFish (free picture sharing site).  I upload my photos to my album there, then I bring up one of the pics, right-click, copy and then paste right in the window.  I never seemed to get the URL and tree method down right.  Just wanted you to know there are at least two ways to go about it.
