Anyone starting chemo in June 08

I am enjoying a rare double nap, so mommy gets some computer time!  I am planning a big double birthday party in 2 weeks.  Garrett will be 3 on Oct 22 and Eli (my chemo baby) will be 1 on October 23rd!  This year has flown by. 

I just heard today that my "variant of  unknown significance" for the brca test has now been reclassified as a negative result.  I don't think that really changes my plans of having the other breast removed, but it is still good news. 

Everyone please enjoy this cooler weather and be safe.

LeggyJ don't just love it when your appt is a little later than what you normally would have to get up.

Elliemae32 did you plan to have both babies around the same date? I bet they both are a hand full but also so much fun.

Karen hope you can rest and relax this weekend.

HunkyD I know you are in surgery but want to say good luck and I'm thinking about you.

We are to get more snow tonight. I wish it come so soon. Talk to everyone later.

Just thought I would let you know I am home now.  5 hour surgery yesterday.  I am not going to type much.  I am in some pain but only have two drains this time.  Later....HunkyD

Leggy, wow, that is nice not to have to go in for a year.  I don't ever think my onc will release me for a whole year.  I take a multivitamin also.  My onc put me on that straight off.  I have heard of the ipex.  I am not buying any bras however until I get end result.  Did you just have lumpectomy?  Wyoming, are you getting snow?  It stopped here.  Weather has warmed back up to 40's.  Well, I am just lounging.  Ellie, would love to see some pictures.   All of ya have a good one....HunkyD

I woke up to more snow this morning. It melted by the afternoon. It could snow tomorrow with a 70% chance. The high for the weekend is 35 degrees. This is too soon to get this cold!!!!!!

HunkyD glad to hear you are doing OK. How long will you have the drains? I also take a multivitamin. But I have taken one for ever.

LeggyJ good to hear that you can go a whole year without seeing your surgeon's nurse. I have tried on an ipex bra and it doesn't fit me. I either hang out or pucker in the cups. I had a sales lady measure me and none of their bra fit. I used to be able to wear the Body by Victoria until they change it. I now am wearing a Bali comfort bra. It is a lot like the old Body by Victoria bra that I liked. I am pretty picky about my bras.

I notice when I read my past post that sometimes I don't make sense. I think my chemo brain is to blame. Hopefully you can understand what I'm trying to say. I'm really not that dumb. LOL I have treatment tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed for good numbers. 

Have a good Friday

Wyoming, I know I have chemo. brain, but I didn't notice anything screwy about your posts.  Sometimes, I may repeat myself because I can't remember if I told you girls about whatever, before.  Good luck, on the #'s! 

It's Friday, and I'm not DAT!  Maybe I'm getting close to normal, whatever that was.

My numbers were low so now I get go for once every 4 weeks. 

HunkyD glad to hear you have your drains out. I remember them as a pain in #$%##. Make sure you rest up. I spent most of the day in bed today because I'm DAT. I still get nose bleeds and my nose is really sore. I am using a saline mist during the day. Because every time I blow I have blood. The mornings are the wost. But a small price to pay to keep my cancer at bay.

Karen I like your idea of shopping. Which movie did you decide on? Drag me to Hell sounds like what we've been through. Every once in a while I see a light to get me out. HAHAHAHA 

It is a cold weekend here. The high today was 19. Next week we should start to see the highs in the 50's. More normal.

Have a good Sat.

Hi, I had a busy day.  Walked Wolfie all over town, nice day.  My ex-boyfriend came over and fixed two sinks for me, and brought KFC!!!  What a deal for me.  Poor guy. I felt bad hitting him up last week, with a honey do list, but I needed help...I've been washing my face and brushing my teeth in the kitchen, for a  week after I took my pipe's apart, under my bathroom sink. I dropped my diamond earring, down the drain. I got my earring. But messed something up. Then he fixed the kichen sink..What a guy.  To bad things didn't work out for us, but maybe he's breathing a sigh of relief.  Now I'm DAT, time for a nap.

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick note to say glad everything is going well for everyone. I am off on holidays tomorrow morning early, so am busy packing and trying to remember everything. Everyone take care while I am gone.

Love Bonnie

We are freezing here in Colorado.  I guess don't feel the cold, my daughter has been out in the snow for about 2 hours.  I was too cold to do more than admire her big snowball and snap a picture.  Then it was right back to the couch for me. 

Some of my friends from school came to see me this weekend.  I was so glad to see them. It has been three years but we just jumped right back in and I loved spending time with them  Maybe this forced retirement won't be so bad after all.   

Have a great weekend everyone.  I am just going to sit around eating cookies!  Yum  Kelly

Cold here too!  Big rain coming 6-8in. we need it, but not all at once.  The weekend went by so quick, what happened?  Off to snuggle in. 

Soft hugs to all,

Leggy, glad you have a handyman to help with plumbing.  I hate plumbing and so does my DH.  Glad you got your earring back though.  Ex boyfriend must still have some feeling for you to come and do that nasty job.  I have been very sore today.  Got some staples out yesterday afternoon and really felt the pain today.  I have been keeping my bed company all day.  Karen, how was the movie The Proposal?  I got that today along with Imagine That.  Tonight is season finale of Hells Kitchen.  That is two hours and both DH and myself have kept up with it.  Made a hair appt. for Thursday.  Husband will have to be my designated driver.  Hope I feel better than I did today.  Little gal that does it is so sweet.  I know she will work with me.  I am still bundled up like a mummy.  Not very attractive.  Her mom went through BC and reconstruction so she is so very good with me.  Well, time for afternoon antibiotics.  Later!  HunkyD 

HunkyD, I sure hope you feel better, we have been through a lot, and I guess I'm lucky I only have pain when I wear a bra.

The ex even brought lunch for me and my Mom, as well. We do still care for one another, but I think he just feels sorry for me, and he's a big softy.  KKing, you did hit it on the head though, it's nice to be able to send him on his way.  I'm used to taking care of myself, and doing what I want. Not having anyone the tell me what to do, when I get home from work, is blissful. 

Last night my Mom said, it's nice that I have so many male friends, and it's true.  I have 3 guy friends, who are like girl friends, they call me at least once a wk. if not every day, and don't get pissed if I don't answer the phone.

Hi everyone,  Just got in after a busy day.  I am very close to where they thought the little guy went up in the air but they just reported that he was hiding in a box the whole time.  Thank goodness he is ok.

My son is in his first year of school at CSU Pueblo and I had to go there yesterday to go to court with him.  His first week at school he got a ticket for being a minor in possession of alcohol.  Evidently he had drinks with friends, I am sure a lot!  And was picked up at the fairgrounds because he was very chatty with the security police there.  What a dummy!  Anyway I hope it scared him enough that he will mind his P's and Q's.  He has to pay some fines and take some classes.  

Then I drove home (2.5 hours), met with a kids counselor for my daughter (I liked her), and went to radiation(quick and easy).  Now I am home eating chocolate chip cookies while my husband and daughter are at puppy class.  Wheww.   

Anyone dressing up for Halloween? I need some ideas.  Kelly
