hi romper room pals. hope your saturday is good.
dunesleeper- I didn't have any test. I actually am going back to my gyn. Last wk I had bad pelvic pain/lower abominal pain(it's gone now) and my back was killing me. I stopped taking anythng (including supplements & vitamins) except arimidex to see if I might be aggravating anything. It was terrifyingly scary. Sooo I decided to go back to gyn- ask about following the ovary area more closely w/ 2 women in their early 40's in my family who died of ovarian ca. Last thing I want is to get through this breast stuff then have something preventable happen.Tuesday I am going back to talk about that. I am so happy/thankful the pain is gone. I figure if it were the M word that is my first thought it wouldn't go away. I HATE BREAST CANCER....
My daughter has prom today. My youngest- she's in 11th grade. Off to help her. ROMP On!
Still gotta learn how to post the cool pics you all post on here--- it's seriously cool.

Finally enjoying my cup of coffee this morning!! I looked at the bag of stuff I picked up while shoping on ativan yesterday. I bought myself a jogging suit and some scarves for when I lose my hair. One is enormous. I have been watching videos on youtube and practicing. Its been a little over two years and I forgot how I tied them.
Thanks everyone for coming with me yesterday morning. When I woud start going out of my mind in that pet scaner, I could hear you guys saying, "Calm down. Breathe. Relax." .
Gentle hugs,
Valerie

Briefly checking in to say hi and send hugs. My DH and I are in Atlantic City for a much needed getaway. I'm here to sleep and he's here to gamble. Works for both of us!
I wanted to let you know the latest at work... They agreed (whoever "they" are) to let me come back full time (not use any disability) but cut my hours from 10-4. Ya know, it's fine with me. It's fairly generous since I was ok coming in early. I left at 4 on thursday and it was okay. So for a few weeks I have a shorter workday and it doesn't come off my DI. Thank you all for your support and kind words and suggestions. I think they realized that I needed this and I'm not trying to screw them over... One reason why I've been there for 9 years...
Enjoy the weekend!!! Hugs to everyone!!! -
Veggy------you made it through hugs
Lauren yeah
Lisa why are you keeping the ovaries?I know that sounds hprrible , but on all seriousness
-
Veggy----im so happy to hear you are goin with the flo....keep it up sista.

Lauren---good for you.
Now im off to a all nighter card game.have not done this in a while...ghetto sleepovers are fun but hard sleepin on the floor/couch/or not at all.
ill be back.hugggggs everyone K
-
Lisa, I hope your daughter has a great time at her prom. Is she thrilled with her gown?
Veggy: well done!!! WTG practicing now. Ugh. The things we have to do.
Lauren, have a great weekend. I'm kinda jealous. But I do have a lot of laundry to do. Also, your employer sounds awesome. Mine has been kind of ok, but I have still been having a hard time, hard enough that early retirement keeps running through my mind. I really can't afford it, and I hate to give up insurance. On the other hand, even if lack of good medical care caused me to only have a couple of years, at least I could enjoy those couple of years, which I am not doing now.
-
Just waiting for the results from the pet scan. How long does it take??
-
veggy I got all my results very quickly. Had the scans one week and was talking to the oncologist about them the following Monday.
-
HELLO EVERYONE!!! I had a little catching up to do and I sure hope I don't forget anything!!
Lauren....Feel free to PM me on the work stuff if you like...tons of information available! Did I ever mention to check out the FSLA law?
Sheila darling...got a few more dresses for ya! Hopefully these are a little more of what you might be looking for
The sun is finally out and the frost should be gone for good (I hope). I have a ton of landscaping to do and paperwork...just gotta knock it out!
I am not sleeping very good and I am back to the "oh I don't like the medications" thing again so I might get a little goofy....me and withdrawls is worse than me and vodka...blech!!
LOW IS IN THE HOUSE!!!!! Our pocket parties are the BEST!!! Speaking of which ... where are we this week? I'm ready for a road trip!
I think I'm going to order a acupuncture kit today....I could totally poke myself with needles...no problem...anyone know of a good source?
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXXXXXX!!!! I have missed you all so much.
-
Oh dear...I'm still shopping for ya Sheila (LOVE shopping ... too much)
(pattern isn't too good, love the style)
-
Before I start my paperwork today...I had to find my stamp.....found it:
-
Fuzzy love the new stamp!!!
Hope everyone has a great day. I am off to my youngest granddaughters birthday party. She is 2 today. Last year I was in the hospital and could not go to her 1st birthday so this one is extra special to me... well I kinda was there last year.... My daughter has an iPod and I had one so I was able to watch her open her presents......thank goodness for some technology.......

Cancer stinks! I hate it!! I no longer have my babysitting job because of the cancer. They want me to care for myself. I can come see the baby anytime. I'm heart broken. She's one cutie that takes my mind off of the cancer and makes me smile. I hadn't seen her in two weeks and she changed so much. I picked her up and she reached for my face and stroked it gently. It was like she was saying, "Its really you." Tears rolled down my face. I know in two weeks I won't be able to care for her with the operation coming up, recuperation and chemo. My heart is torn. Silly little things get to me right now.
I had a big melt down last night. Cried for hours. How do I know that this is the right decision? Why do chemo again? I don't want to do this again. I AM bitter this happened again. How am I going to get through this? What's the sense? I did everything right. Why again? How many more times? I'm so scared.
Thanks for letting me vent.Cancer sucks!
-
veggy, my heart aches for you and all that find themselves in your situation. The first diagnosis is frightening, I can only imagine how scared you are now. I can not find the words to express adequately how much I care about you, regret that you must face this beast again and wish there were some way to lessen your fears, anxieties and pain. I will be holding you close in my thoughts and in my prayers.
-
veggy, none of us can know what the right decision is. Is there even a right decision? I, too, am sorry this has happened to you again. Hugs to you veggy. And prayers too of course.
-
Awwwwww Veggy...im speachless for you sistah....what can i say or DO to make it a little betta....this dam bc sure does suk!!!!!!!!!
as always im prayin real hard for you....if you need ANYTHING and i mean anything do not hesitate to get in touch with me.....

-

Cindy -
Veggy, I'm right there with you girlfriend................hugs and prayers..........your gonna do fine................we will all kick cancer in the ass.........we have to.......for each other...........I'll be in your pocket...................hugs......

Ok, we post about a page a day here lol. I just have to remember to back up to 56 to finish reading lol. The visit went about as I expected. It was nice to see him graduate, with honors even, but it was all stressful. My oldest son says he has "given up". He never really tried. He has anger and wants to hold onto it. He wants to say whatever he wants and then doesn't want to hear anything. So nothing has really changed. He did say he was happy with his life, which is great. I expect him to have to resolve things after I'm gone because he sure isn't going to do it while I'm here lol.
Haven't caught up with everything but I'm here for anyone or any pockets that need me. Love to everyone, welcome to anyone new!!
See you all later. It's family time at home!
-
Veggy, I think being angry gives you more power to fight. And that's what you need right now. It's not fair and impossible to know what's the right decision--if there is one. Just know that you're in my thoughts and prayers and I'm available to jump in your pocket any time. (((((HUGS)))))
-
((((veggy)))). I am sorry to hear what you are going through. You are always in my thoughts...
I'll be back with plenty more to say tomorrow. Just wanted to stop by again while on my little mini vaca. -
(((veggy))) wishing things could be different, praying for things to be better, loving you through it all. If you make the choices that you feel/think are best for you that is about as 'right' as we can each get.
-
veggy - no words, just big honkin' hugs.
I am available for pocket travel on a moment's notice.
xoxoxo

I LOVE YOU VEGGY!!! You do need to be away from responsibilities right now, so simple visits to your little girl now and then will be okay. It's a good idea, anyhow, to let go a little bit, becuz you'll be in NO CONDITION to see her. Later, you can go right back to the good old days!!! Yup. That little girl will keep right on lovin' you down the road. BIG HUGGIES to OUR little girl (((((((((((((VEG)))))))))) !!!
DUNE, I noticed your diagnosis was February of 2012??? Maybe you can hook up with Veggy and trade miseries! I'm older with a busted-up back, so pain meds got me thru, my cancer doc gave them to me. It's a desperate situation, to be sure. LOVE TO ALL MY SISTERS, Gail

Today I transplanted flowers from the front of the house to other places. What a job! Three hours of digging. I put this job off for years. Now I am sore. Last night we spent hours at the hospital with my oldest son. He had a major outburst and I had him taken away. I called 911, the cops came and ambulance. It put a good scare in him. He's home now. I have a sinus infection and called my doctor for antibiotics. I can't be sick for the upcoming surgery. How much more stress does one have to take? I don't know if I am coming or going.
-
I totally agree cancer sucks. We love ya Veggy. Sorry you are having tough time. Hate to hear what you are going through.
Romp on.
XXOO Love you all.

Well, back to reality. I'm back from AC and just got what I thought was going to be my last fill. Not quite. Then I got a lipo consult and it didn't go as planned. He basically told me that since I have too much to lose, lipo would do nothing for me and I'd need a tummy tuck.... And I'd have to wait 5 years before we know the new implants are good and staying... Which means - I actually need to get my butt in shape and start working out. Poor me...
Veggy - always thinking of you.
And of course each and everyone here. My bus driver hat is back on... Who needs a visit or a lift? -
vEGGY SO SORRY DEAR SISTER.. ONE STEP AT A TIME ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME. hOLD ON TO THAT BABY. SEE HER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BEFORE SURGERY. l&h&p'S
