MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN 40-60ish

MP--my oldest walks by and says "those look like compression craters." I don't even know what those are and I didn't want to ask him! Dumb old mom. To me it looks like cats' eyes or cats eyes marbles.

 MP-light shining thru a crystal

elimar86861

O.K., my picture was totally not fair, but I got so fascinated when I looked at a site that had alcoholic drinks viewed under a microscope.  The Mystery Pic is Vodka & Tonic.  It had one of the prettiest patterns.  Here's a link to the site.

Bevshots.com 

Check out the "browse images" on the site and look thru' their gallery for your favorite beverage.  Some are non-alcoholic.  Another one I really liked was red table wine, as seen below.

                                           

I am going to declare that noodle6 is the winner.  These are quotes from the site:

"It is like a prism and the separation of light that is caused when sunlight is shone through one."

and

"The naturally occurring colors are unaltered and represent the magnified crystalline structure for each concoction."

 so her answer of "light shining thru a crystal" came closest.

I was thinking the next two holiday weekends many of us will be out and some others (like me) might just feel like turning the computers off so, noodle6, do you think you can wait for Jan. 7 to post thenext Mystery Pic?  We can resume then after a two-week holiday hiatus.  Everyone else can remind you, 'cause I had a little trouble remembering even this week.

Honorable mention to:

YaYa5, for going with something microscopic, but this is way to cool looking for cancer.

Paula66, for her "bad girl ways" which I'm sure included most of these patterns!

I have to learn how to resize a picture, mine came through way too big.

Kay_G

Very happy it went well Jo. I thought mine did, the tech doing the echo told she doesn't read it, but she thought it looked good. But as i was still walking home from the train, the cardiologist called and said there was no change, it was still around the low normal range. She is putting me back on the herceptin any way though, but will add another medication to protect the heart and increase the dose of the one she already put me on. They'll also watch my blood levels closely. So I guess we'll see how it goes.



Ceasetheday, hoping you get good news and hopping in your pocket. I like the reindeer cookies. Pass them over.

Ceeztheday

Jo...hooray! Heading to the doctor's office now. Fingers crossed.

Kay...Protecting the heart is good. So glad that your doctors are staying on top of everything and watching things closely. Hugs.

Thanks for the PP everyone!

Ladies, jump into my pocket today. My first chemo is in 3 hours! I'm scared and nervous, but know all of you will be thinking of me, and that's a huge help.

LovesChristmas-Barb

Jumping in  your pocket WaveWhisperer and saying a prayer for you...

Kay_G

the first one is the worst wave whisperer because you don't know what to expect.  jumping in your pocket.

chrissyb

Hanging with you Wave............oops!  just tripped getting in the pocket, didn't mean to head butt your hip!

Love n hugs.  Chrissy

Paula66

Wave jumping in the pockets for ya.  I know the first chemo I did I was so freaked out.  The treatment itself wasnt bad.  Do you have a port.  I did and it made things so much easier.  They even did my blood draws from it and it was super easy.  Dont be afraid of calling the telenurse if you need more meds for the nausea. I laid there and suffered for needless hours because of my stubborness.  When I did the 4 AC treatments I ending up having to take 4 different ones, but they did the trick. Plus the Onc put me on a pill schedule and that really helped better then taking them as the bottle said.  When I moved on to the Taxol it was much easier on me and I was able to take it down to just the one.  Good Luck and I hope it goes well for you!

Dang Eli after that MP this weekend my bad girl ways kinda came out, lol.  I got into an old school frame of mind so I went music surfing.  Oh man some of those tunes brought back some memories.  Lets just say some of them I really didnt want to remember, lol!  Lets just say Im glad I glad some I dont.  I know music surfing real bad girl huh?  But these days thats as bad as I get, lol!  Other then the tattoos.  In the works for another one.  It was inspired by JO.

Glad to hear the good news for Jo, Kay and Ceeztheday!

Wave - I'll be in your pocket with the rest of your supporters! Hoping all goes well for you.

cmbear

Wave---jumping in right now!! My first chemo is kind of a blur. The first one is always longer than the rest. I brought all sorts of things to keep me busy but I ended up just yakking the whole time. That is when I wasn't sleeping from the Benadryl. Slept on the way home and pretty much the whole day.hope yours is as memorable!

Ceeztheday

WaveWhisperer- Hope I'm not too late for the PP. If so, I'll ride in your pocket on your way home. Hugs.

Glad to hear the good reports from the doctor visits.  kay, they don't seem too worried about what is going on with your heart, so have a worry-free holiday yourself.  It will be great if you can stay on the Herceptin, but don't let any symptoms go unreported.  In other words, monitor yourself real well until they check you again.

Wave, Good Luck today!
