Any Northern Virginia ladies on this discussion board?

I do have very curly hair and even nose hairs and arm hairs.   In fact, I am thinking of a trim around the neck area with this hot weather.  But I am almost 15 months since diagnosis.   Tomorrow I get my medi port removed.   Rest and relax as much as you can.   Keep in touch.

Hugs,   Nancy 

Thanks Becky, I can't believe the day is finally here!

See you soon.  HUGS, Dawn

Hi Nancy,

Great to have the port out I'm sure.  My removal is scheduled for Aug. 3, can't wait.  Then my exchange surgery on Aug. 10, can't wait for that either.  Thanks for the Birthday wishes.  Looking forward to meeting you.  HUGS, Dawn

I am going to try and make it but I live out towards Middleburg and have 3 little ones under the age of 4.....keep us posted on the meeting place.  I am out and about in the Ashburn, Chantilly area if anyone ever wants to meet up for coffee.  I met a great bc sister that lives in Ashburn and we have gotten together a couple of times.  Nice to be able to talk with someone going through what we all are/have.  I try to keep my pre BC friends just that.....the same friend/relationship as before to keep me "normal".  My BC sisters are my rock to get me through this crap and understand all the bc lingo, too

big hugs

Diane

I live in Herndon too.  Chantilly/Fairfax area are definitely more convenient for me!

I can go either way.  I'm between Woodbridge and Manassas so I can go I66 or I95.  Just give me the place and time and I'll be there.  Just looking forward to meeting you guys.  HUGS, Dawn

OK, let's see if I can get this right:

BECKY & BRANDONMOM - Herndon

DAWN - Manassas/Woodbridge

NANCY - Alexandria

DIANE - Aldie (What's that close to?)

Did I miss anyone that can make it this time? Nancy, would it be too far for you to do Fairfax, maybe somewhere near the Fair Oaks Mall.  What do you guys think about that area? Let's pick the area and then we can pick the place?  Everyone chime in and let us know if this will work?

HUGS, Dawn

BrandonMom, Can I ask you your first name so I can put that on here?  Guess I need to get on Facebook, everyone keeps telling me that they are on.  I think I'm behind the times.  Dawn

Sure, my name is Colleen!

Aldie is near Leesburg. I live in Leesburg and will be back in the States in September, so I'll have to miss this meeting but would love to get together later on. I can't believe how many of you live in Loudoun Co. and thereabouts!

I LOVE the Macaroni Grill!  I'm definitely up for that!

I actually got an email from Macaroni Grill today (their ears must have been burning ).  They are going to have a coupon in this Sunday's newspaper for $5 off two entrees.  For those of you that get the paper, keep your eyes peeled!

Hi Ladies - I haven't followed this board at all in a while but Diane and I have actually met up a couple times already.  She told me about your lunch at Macaroni Grill and I would love to join you all and meet others going through this.  I live in Ashburn.  Count me in! 

apfuentes,

What's your first name so that I can add to the list?  How exciting, we're getting a good group going here.  Thought I read earlier in this thread that you go to Dr. Duda for recon, is that right?  She's my ps too, getting my exchange surgery 8/10, just before we meet.  We can compare notes.

HUGS, Dawn

OH MY GOSH! What are the chances?  I was there with my husband and said to him that I loved your hair and couldn't wait for mine to get to that point.  You look great!!!! I'm so looking forward to meeting you!  If you possibly have time before the 10th would you mind giving me a call and filling me in on your surgery.  I'll pm you with my phone #.  HUGS, Dawn
