    Meece checking in.  I am a little late, as they must have waited for Elimar to vacate the probe bay in the mother ship.  Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.

    Results:  All clear no polyps what so ever!  Better news than I was expecting the way things have been going.  And it only took two tries to sart the IV!  Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Lynniea is home and finished with her bx.  Now it is waiting time.  Luckily she has found our group to stand vigil with here.

    Meece- YAY!!!! such goooood news!

    Lynniea- find busy things to do this week...keep busy and keep your brain and body occupied ...I went to the gym every day while I was waiting...couldn't do the lie down and relax portion of the class but the weight part worked like a dream to keep my mind off the wait. Good luck.

    I was thinking 10 years, but I'd be happy to settle with 5 if I have to.

    Meece & Elimar - The alien invasion is over and you are back with us.  Great news.

    Lynnie - We will wait for you go get back here.

    Sherry - Sounds like the front will be out of here early tomorrow morning and the roads will be okay.  I should be alright to make it there.  I have a small car and if I need to, I can take DHs truck.   Will let everyone know what I find out.

    Hi, Meece!   I hope it's 10 years.  Maybe they can make big advance in that slimy sludge we had to drink.  Glad you came through with flying colors.  So, how was lunch???  I went straight to Ruby Tuesdays (two blocks from hosp.) and had soup (broc/cheddar) and salad bar (big plate of it.)  I feel human again.

    Meece/Elimar - good news

    I am trying not to be a cry baby about the cold, but geeish another snow storm, really.  It's suppose to stop at the Red River, that is why I live south of it.

    Jo - ditto on the results, thinking of you.

    Yeah Meece and Elimar!!!!!!!!

    Lynn-I am sitting here hoping the the freezing texas good thought waves reach you and giveyou a big hug! When I had to find out if I was getting a biopsy I went to a particular center my BS wanted me to go to. I was sitting there in waiting room filled with other women after having another mammo and this big hairy guy walks in and yells out my name. I said yes, and then do I need a biopsy? He shouts ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY...I said well, one absolutely would have been enough, geez oh pete.

    The waiting is hell but like everything else on our journey soon becomes something we don't think about much after it is past. I spent the 48 hours following mine calling the BS every two hours...

    sandee - whine away...it is all relative to whatever is going on in your life at a particular time. Since I am a free range whiner it makes it easier for me to appreciate:) I wish I was going to Montreal with you or even to see Halifax...my Dad ysed to tell me how very beautiful atlantic canada is and I plan on seeing it one day. I have met a lot of folks from there and every darn one is someone I would like to know better. I think I am a candian in yank clothing...

    As far as the weather goes it is hilarious to watch everyone here in metro houston go bat-sh*t-I had three people ask me at 11am if they could go home...I asked why as there was no snow, rain, etc...they said it was going to be bad tonight...I said yes, at 7 or 8, but now the roads are dry. They went on to say we have to stock up! I said it is going to clear by Saturday-this is no hurricane. You just need what you would normally have. It will melt off by Friday afternoon Sat morning at latest. Just stay off the roads tonight and if your kids don't have school tomorrow call me and you can stay home. Reminded them that unlike the majority of companies in the world that we actually pay people if the weather is too dangerous to work and not from their vacation or sick pay. Two huffed away furious with me! I just don't get it. I hear so many on here who really need income or work and when I see the spoiled brats filled with entitlement...and mind you, the brats are no kids, they are mid 30-40s! It just makes me want to scream...so here goes ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Meh!

    that feels better:)

    I wanna play in the snow - it is supposed to start at midnight here so I will venture out then....

    I am P*ssed because the PS cancelled my fill for tomorrow and I was psyched up about it. First freakingout then excited now back to oh gee, not happening....the snow, the possibility of snow...there is NO snow...being raised in Michigan I KNOW snow...this is just cold cold and colder...ok...enough, I will go pout and read some more:)

    Well, looks like it was a busy day out there for many of us.  Hugs back, Jean, you did it!  Paula, you'll do good tomorrow too, let us know how it goes.

    It seems like just a week ago we were celebrating with the gals finishing rads, and now we've got more sisters just beginning their chemo.  It makes me sad that we are just a never-ending supply of ladies ravaged by The Beast.  Is that CURE ever gonna get here?

    Paula,



    One more thing, not sure if it is universal or just my cancer center, long wait between doctor visit and chemo for them to set up infusion after weight and height taken and because it was the first one I had to get another pregnancy test ( that really would have been the end for Dh), I went into the infusion room 2 hours later than I was scheduled to start. Actual time in infusion room for the EC combo was 1 1/2 hours. Next time will send DH or my chemo date out for their food during the waiting time so no smells at the end.

    Oh, that reminds me.  In December, there was the big fuss over giving me a pregnancy test before my bone scan.  Today, three different people asked me to pee in a cup, but I hadn't had liquids since 10 p.m. last night and that just was not going to happen.  This time, same place bone scan was done, they let me off the hook and I only had to sign a statement that I was not with child.  Guess they are not as hard core as the radiologist team.

    Meece, my DH told me I now have a global-positioning chip implant, in case the aliens need me for a F/U visit.  I don't know where he comes upwith this stuff!

    Hey, Middies, we need to catch up--it's not global warming, it's global CLIMATE CHANGE!  That way the powers that be can blame us for all the temperature variations, and gets away from the inability to prove global warming.

    Thought I would bring my trusty steed along for the fun, Run Bullseye, Run like the wind.

    My surgery in Nov and then in Dec, the nurse asked when my last monthly was.  Gave the date and said I'm in menapause.  Nurse looked at me for a while then said ok I'll put that down.  As far as I know I still am.

    Yes my name is Jessie

    Nativemainer--Good one!

    Jean--> congrats on getting through the first one!  You'll probably be up most of the night (steroids), so settle in some place comfy!  I assume they told you about drinking LOTS of water to flush out the cytoxin, so you'll be up peeing a lot anyways--if not, you are not drinking enough!  You don't want that stuff sitting in your bladder!  The worst usually comes about day 3, hopefulyy your worst won't be very bad.

    Paula-->we'll be thinking aobut you tomorrow!

    Elimar, I slept the whole way home.  DH stopped and bought me some Doritos and Sprite.  And I had about 6 bites of leftover orange Chicken.  I slept until 4:30 with just a short wake up earlier.  Food really didn't mean as much as I thought it would.

    went to see re-constructive surgeon today. not happy with him at all. I just want to  wake up from this night mare and get it over with. I started on xanax yesterday, was so depressed, I had to call the doctor and beg for something. She really didn't want to prescribe them. So I told her I would get them from my friend and boy did she change her mind quickly.
