We had about an inch but Charlotte got smacked with plenty of snow. It is mostly gone this afternoon. Fortunately, I live about 1/2 mile from the office and only a couple of spots where the pine trees overhang the street were icy.

Sheila

glad you had a good trip,  wink

hope everyone is well

Hi everyone, 

Been quite a bit since I was here.  Shelia and I live close together and have met twice.

Someone ask me earlier where Newland was located - close to Grandfather Mountain and not far from the eastern Tenn line.  Elizabethton, Johnson City, Tenn is not that far away. Shelia and I are also about an hour from Asheville.

Wink, glad that you had a great trip.  Lots of scary things on cruise ships lately. 

Not sure if I mentioned when I first posted but I was ER/PR positive HER2-.   We are in the mountians (Newland) and when we got here on Friday, no water.  It was frozen from the very frigid temps last week.  Got that going.  We will be going back to Hickory later today.

I don't check in often, this site isn't quite the same as it was when I first joined.  Wishing everyone the best - have a great week. 

Brenda 

Welcome Kay,

Sorry you have to be here - but if you have to - it's a good place to be!

Thanks Wink and bourscheid!  It is nice to talk to neighbors!  During chemo, I actually split my time between GA Cancer Specialists in Blairsville and their office in Atlanta.  I see Dr. Janice Galleshaw at the Northside office because she is specializes in breast cancer and had seen two of my friends.  I went to the Blairsville office for Neulasta and fluids, when I needed them.  I love everyone in the Blairsville office.  There were very kind to me.

I still make the trek to Alpharetta to get my herceptin every three weeks.  It's a nice "get away" to the city, but I'll be glad when the need is over (I'll be finished in July). 

Again, it is great to talk to neighbors! 

I live in Woodstock, GA and go to GA Cancer Treatment Center in Canton, GA. I had a recurrance in 2001 and at that time had to go into Atlanta to their office, I saw Dr Laura Weakland. GA CTC has built several new offices since than and just when gas prices went so high last year I found the office in Canton - lots closer to me. I now see Dr Volas-Redd. I hated to leave Dr Weakland, but I do like Dr Volas-Redd.

Bourscheid: she must be the same one you see. She also sees patients at the office in Kennesaw, GA. She is the onc for my daughter's neighbor - a man in his late 40's who has a brain tumor and is now in hospice. So I think we can feel blessed that we are doing ok.

Casey-Doodle: do you see Dr Weakland when you go to Atlanta?

God bless!
