Good Luck, Janis!

Here's to low score Janis! (FYI-if need be-Chemo sucks, but it is do-able!)
-
Good Luck Janis!!!
-
Good luck Janis!! I'm sure your DH would understand, Reesie--your speaker phone idea is genius! Foxy, hope all is going well for you today and that your scans are clear! Enjoy the alone time in the exam room! I'm sure all he wants for his birthday is you healthy again.
I'm on my way to UF to drop my DS off for his 2nd year. I love my son but I would rather have that cute cabana boy serving me a birthday piña colada. Yoo-hoo pass the sunscreen!! -
Thank you everyone! I did talk to my hubby and let him know. He said he is really disappointed he can't be there, but totally understands my need to go today. He just wants me to call him as soon as I get out. I am charging it now!
I'll let you all know this afternoon.

-
Janis, Go for it girl! Knowing now will make for a better rest of the week for both of you. I know all too well how this horrible waiting game feels. Still waiting for mine. Kitty

Janis= So glad your wait is over. Hoping for a low #
Foxy= Hope your scans go well and you have time to relax with DH and celebrate his Bday.
YaYa= Love the new picture.
Had 22 of 33 rad tx today. So far so good. Starting to get a little pink. I was surprised the "sunburn effect" is going clear up the side of my neck. I wasn't using the aloe up that far
-
Hi all! If I look at another blue print today Im gonna scream, UGH!! My brain is on over load. I dont even wanna think about anything. Let alone come up with supper. Oh Jo where is the cabana boy, I sure could use him around here about now.
-
Well the bone scan tech didn't look anything like the cabana boy although HE thought he did... You know the type, heavy cologne, slicked back hair, gold jewelry. Very disappointing lol. They DID let DH in for the scan! It was ok though, he did keep me company for the 30 minutes or so of the test as we watched the bones light up everywhere. It was reassuring to hear him telling me that it may not look as bad as last time. Heck, I know he or I can't tell but it was nice to hear anyway especially when you see so much light up. We had a nice lunch in between injection and test. Had to waste 3 hours. Rode around old Richmond, Va and looked at the really old nice homes of the past. So we had a good day and he didn't drive me nuts. Thanks for all the good wishes! Now I have 2 weeks to wait for results. I suppose if it's real bad, my onc will call...I hope.

I am happy to announce there will be no chemo for me. My Oncotype score was 16. HUGE YIPPEE! I go back Friday to get a schedule to begin radiation. My bone scan was normal, Vitamin D low but that is easily resolved.
Kitty fingers and paws crossed hedre you get your results soon. I know how sick you are of waiting.
Paula I wish that cabana boy was here to deliver me some obscene fruity drink. Heavy on the rum!
Thank you ALL for the support and prayers. It worked.
Hugs to everyone,
Janis
-

That's great Janis!! Cheers, I'm having a lime-aid ;-) now. Have to wind down from today.
-
Janis - That is such great news.
Here is a nice fruity drink for you to help celebrate - and I will see if I can find that cabana boy. LOL
-
Foxy - I am imagine wha that tech looked like - Yuck!!! But glad you had an uneventful day and able to enjoy with DH. Crossing fingers that your results are good. Let us know when you get those results - it will be another reason to celebrate.
-

Janis, Sending you the best smile I can and congrats on your score. Aren't you just so relieved! Awesome girl! Kitty
-
Yahoo Janis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You deserve that drink! Good luck with the rads. The girls around here can help you threw them.

Janis woohoo no chemo
YaYa I like your new avitar, your beautiful smile really shows up. Are you going without a wig most of the time?
Foxy so glad your Dh did not drive you crazy today. I laugh at my FIL one day he told me he did not know what was wrong with my MIL she was being bitchy. I told him nothing was wrong with her it was just that he retired and is messing up her office (house) being around all the time. I explained that she had not retired she was still doing the same job she had always done. I asked him wouldn't it have bugged you if she had come and hung out at your office all the time. He said h**l yeah and asked me when I got so damn smart.
