    Whoops!  Sorry about the work thing.  I'm glad you had a nice massage today though.  Your comeback to that stupid woman is priceless!!!  People are such idiots!  I hope she felt like a total ass!

    Welcome to all the newbys. Good to see you here but I'm sorry you had to join us. Hugs to all of you who are feeling sad and stressed.

    Sue, I hope you feel better soon. I have had such bad necks that I can't turn my head, drive or get comfortable in any position.The pain usually radiates right down into my back. I too have been told I have a lot of stress there by massage therapists. My dentist confirms this by saying I grind my teeth at night and that makes my teeth sore!  I can't relate to the drippy sensation but I've heard of "formication" which feels like ants crawling under your skin.

    Barb - glad you had a massage but your therapist was very insensitive and downright annoying. Good comeback. I hate it when people try to pin some guilt on you about developing this disease. I think they're trying to reassure themselves that they are doing everything right and so don't think they will get it. Well, I hope they don't but I don't think anyone should be too cocky and smug about their health.

    I'm with my "kids" this weekend. They're helping with the renovations of my old house.

    Love to all,

    Jane xoxo

    I've had the neck thing.  I can relate to having trouble getting out of bed because of it.  It helped me to put my hands behind my head when I was trying to get up and actually try to lift my head with my hands.  For me it turned out to be like a whip-lash neck injury.  It took a good couple of weeks to really get back to feeling ok.  Ibuprofen and muscle relaxers helped a little, but mostly it took time.  Massage did help a little, but nothing instantaneous. 

    I do hope you feel better sooner than I did.

    Sue, are your knickers wet? Maybe you are dribbling for real! Laughing ...sorry, couldn't resist.

    I spent eight hours today in my son's music room searching through several thousand records to find the ones people want to buy. A bittersweet time. Some of the records really took me back to better times. I brought home a high-resolution CD of America. I had forgotten how much I like them. Also listened to King Crimson. Interesting.

    I'm having a stress echocardiogram Monday. Don't need it, but my doc wants it. My bootface shadow is not in my heart! My baby boy is playing a prince in Romeo and Juliet tonight, designing and building a set for Frenzy, and who knows what else. Oh, to have that energy again. 

    Love your snappy comeback, Barbe. You are good!

    Jane, what fun to work with your boys. I'll bet they are good. Crack that whip!

    My eyes are crossing so time to quit. Love to all, 

    Judie

    Hi Guys

    Sorry I have been awol, but I have been having the very worst time on TAX since teh beginning of August and didn't want to burden you.

    I don't know why my reaction was so extreme, possibly as I was fighting an infection before I started but I have had infections, an impacted colon - I am going in for a banding operation in the next couple of weeks as I have developed big and painful piles. I am in constant pain and am getting stomache spasms. Going to the toilet is becoming impossible awful and I am throwing up a lot - and not because of the chemo! I do hope this is temporary and caused only by the chemo!

    I am getting Tax and Herceptrin at the moment - Tax has been reduced by 15% - and get my last on Tuesday.

    Got my dates for rads! Start 17th Nov all the way through till Jan 4th. I get them both Christmas Eve and New Years Eve! 25 fryings in all so I'll be well cooked.

    I am weak as a half drowned kitten and really only leaving the house for hosp appts (of which there are now a lot) and I have been in A&E a few times lately.

    I have been checking in regularly and been cheered and heartened by you gals, soon I'll be posting jokes but this is quite a dark time just now.

    Sorry for the gloomy post, but I know you wonderful gals have such broad shoulders!

    With lots of tartan hugs ....

    Nettie I had been wondering/worrying about you lately,  sorry things  SUCK right now,  sending you cherry good vibes.  Sue I had a pain in the neck real bad for about 2  months  - But it moved a few weeks ago -  SIL -  LOL!!!!!!! Sorry had to say that,  I think Karen is very right on though,  stress/tension can cause such things. 

    Barbe -  XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO,  you haven't been posting  a lot,  I knew something might be up -  I HATE WHEN THAT DARK CLOUD COMES OVER. 

    Everyone is over Sunday for a B'day dinner for Jaclyn,  she will be 29  on 10/28,  so we are celebrating Sunday,  bought Pumpkins for everyone to carve (OUTSIDE) before dinner.  Pumpikins are really expensive this year.  OH WELL,

    Off to do some Saturday errands with my honey.

    HAPPY SATURDAY.

    Cathi, that's my weekend, too...pumpkins and errands. I don't have the energy to do a lot of Halloween decorating, but putting out some pumpkins will look like I made an effort, and they're good for Thanksgiving, too, lol.

    Nettie, {{{hugs}}}. It's a yucky, sucky time for you, but in a few months it will be passed.

    Sue, a while ago (pre-bc) I had a pinched nerve in my shoulder/neck. I wore a oestopedic foam collar at night and, when I could stand it, during the day. The purpose was to keep my head aligned with my spine so the nerve could heal and not keep getting caught between the bones. The scarves were probably doing exactly the same thing.

    So delightful to wake up to an outpouring of love! Nettie, do you feel it? Hang in there sweetie! I'm sorry it's been so tough for you. Be as gloomy as you like. We understand and will hold your hand through the dark days, It's worth it knowing the sparkling wit that will appear soon.

    Cathi, I'm so pleased that the pain in your neck has healed. It wasn't easy, I know.

    I've got to take Jasper for a walk, then back to the world of music. It's fascinating. Meg, I don't have a turntable, so can't play records but he had nearly an equal number of other formats that I can play. I have saved three records: Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, Tommy, and Rick Wakefield's Wives of Henry VIII. I will frame them and hang them on my walls. They have special meaning. I will keep quite a few of the SACDs and DVD-As so that I can play the music. It does bring comfort.

    Don't play too hard you guys! Monday will come all too soon!

    ((((((((((Nettie)))))))))) Hoping and praying thta you feel better soon. I've missed reading your posts.

    Judie - Dark Side of the Moon is still one of my favourite records. I love your plan to frame the records. 

    Sue - your proposed trip to Scotland sounds great. I was only there for a few days once but loved it. Wouldn't it be great if you couldn meet up with sweet Nettie! Good idea to wrap the scarves around your neck. Hope you feel better soon. It usually only lasts a few days.

    Well, the work was a little unenthusiastic from all of us yesterday. It was just good to catch up with everyone. We went out to dinner last night, late to bed, lots of fun and most are still asleep. Maybe we will work harder today??

    Meg, Nancy, Cathi, Lisa, Shirlann, Sheila, Barbe, Mel, Karen, Bless, Kcorbin, and everyone else, wishing you all some moments of joy and happy pumpkin carving.

    Love, 

    Jane xoxox

    Nancy our house inside and out is well decorated,  Ed does 90% of it from Halloween through Christmas,  I felt so bad for him the other night though he was walking through the back into the kitchen with this big beautiful ceramic pumpkin candy dish we HAD,  had like bobble eyes it was really a great dish,  he thought a door was completely open,  lights were out and semi dark,  ran right into the door with the dish and it shattered,  he was pretty mad at himself,  Alexcis had already put dibs in on that one for "SOMEDAY WHEN WE DIDN'T NEED IT ANYMORE" 

    We didn't do our annual party this year,  no time to plan with the kids here and moving,  so I guess we are going to do a Christmas one this year,  I am going to ask that if people want too to please bring a gift (toy) for a family that Jaclyn knows with 3  children.  They live a few doors down from Jaclyn,  a single mom and 2  girls (7&5) and a little 4 year old boy,  Jaclyn drives the girls to school with Alexcis,  she noticed the mom walking them one day in the rain,  and she has been doing it ever sense,  one day whenn they were coming home from school  the mom had called Jaclyn from her job and said she had missed her bus (no car) and asked if Jaclyn would wait with the girls inside ,  Jaclyn called me up crying her eyes out when she left,  said it was so sad,  the apartment hardly had any furniture,  etc,  etc,  etc,  the mom is real nice,  not on drugs or a drinker,  just can't make ends meet,  so you know the children will be in need of something for Christmas,  so I thought we would do a  Bring A Toy Party,  I know Christmas isn't about "WHATS UNDER THE TREE" but it so makes me sad when little ones are so eager for Santa,  and he doesn't come -  wanna cry.

    Renee, I meant to welcome you when I posted yesterday!  Of course, you may join us!  We'd love to have you!

    Nettie, you poor thing!  I'm so sorry things have been so difficult.  Don't feel like you're being a downer by coming here.  We're here to listen and encourage/support you!  I'm glad you're almost done with that awful chemo.  Take care, sweet Nettie.  We're looking forward to the day when you tell us some more great jokes!

    Sounds like you had a great time last night, Jane.  Did the rest of them ever get up?  LOL!!

    Portia has her Homecoming dance tonight.  She's going by herself again.  She just isn't interested in any of the boys at her school who ask her out.  She's very picky.  I guess that's a good thing.  She has friends who always have to have a boyfriend to feel worthy, even if they don't really like the boy.

    Love and hugs to all,

    Karen

    Portia has plenty of time for "boys"  ,  sounds like a very smart young lady - proves what a good mom she has.  Thanks Karen for the compliment,  we always do Christmas donations for kids,  the mailman thing,  the local church,  I just hate to think of any child not having a gift.  It just like when I go to Pet Smart and see all the homeless Kitties there, if I had my way I would get them all,  espically the old ones,  I always think so sad,  everybody wants a kitten these poor things will never get a home again,  Ed has to pry me off the glass,  them I am all sad,  sometimes he forbids me to go near the cats before we go in - pretty funny I gotta admit.

    Hi Sue Smile! So good to see you here. I'm sorry you are having such pain and despair. I had a pinched nerve. It hurt soooo much. My neck, upper back and down my left arm. I had to do physical therapy and take gabapentin.(msp).Thats a nerve pain pill. And , I have had that feeling that you described as "feeling wet" or "dripping" , its a "nerve sensation". I hate that! Its just one of those things that comes and goes. I certainly hope your neck is better soon. You can try some cold - hot therapy on it too. That seems to help. Try not to use direct massage on it if it is nerve pain. That can actually make it worse. Good luck honey. And your son is 15! wow! They truly do grow up so fast. Don't despair, I find as my son has grown into manhood , we have a great relationship. They start to have their own "life lessons" , and they start to think , wow , Mom does know afew things about life , and they start asking for you opinion! Its really a good time. But they will always be our babies!xxxx

    Nettie , Soooo glad to see your post. I have been thinking , and worrying about you. Sorry its been so hard for you. Praying the Lord will blest you with His healing touch , and that you will soon be back soon telling us all your favorite jokes! Love you Netts.xxxx

    Karen , good to see you. I hope Portia has a good time tonight. I just love her. She is so much , her own woman. She is going to do well in this world. So many girls would be home , alone , crying poor them , no date. Or so many go with someone they are not interested in , just to have a date. She really seems to be secure with herself. And that my sister , is one of the greatest gifts a person can have. Especially a woman.I just have such good vibes about Portia. She is gonna do you proud Karen. Molding our children is so important , but letting them become the person that they are , and still love them , and give them support is so important too. And I think you do that so well with your children. Hope you are all having a great evening.xxxx

    Judie , such bitter-sweet thoughts reading your posts. Love you sister. We all go to the "dark place" now and then , I hope your stay there is short lived. And I know it has to be with Jasper by your side! What beautiful memories your son has left you. I love the idea of putting the albums on the wall. And you get to listen to sounds that remind you of your times with him. Love you Judiexxxx

    Jane , so glad to hear you are having a good time making memories with your boys and love ones. Did you get much remodeling done? If not , don't sweat it. It was worth making those good memories with the boys! Love you Jane.xxxx

    Cathi , I cried reading your post. God Bless that sweet girl and her children. You know , I think what your doing is fantastic! Because you are soooo spot on. The children just think of "its christmas , why don't we have presents? And I don't mean that in a mean or selfish way. Christmas is for the children. And you are such a special blessing for them to do what you are doing.You might want to check with your community. Some places , like where I live ,  have an "angel" program , where if you give the name of the family , its all anonomous , they take the family food and presents on Christmas eve.Anyway , I hope they are all blest by the Birthday of our sweet Lord. Love you Cathi.xxxx

    Lisa , you go girl! Hope the "cabin boy" did his job!lol What a beautiful time to go to the mountains. The leaves are breath taking. And its "nippy" out , so you have to have a fire. Oh , I have a feeling , you are all having a great time! Love you Lisa.xxxx

    Meg! Soooo good to see you here. Giving you big , and gentle hugs. Hope all is well with you and your family. I always love to read your posts. You are such a genuine and loving person. Godspeed to you sister. xxxx

     Ladies , if you would , my ex-OH could really use some prayers. He is back in the hospital. He had to have surgery again. He was doing so well. But has had a relapse. Please pray that Our Lord will heal him and give him strength to endure. Thanks everyone. Group hug for us all.

    Mel, your ex is in my heart and prayers tonight. It's been a rough road for both of you. Time for a break.

    Cathi, for someone so tough you sure do have a tender heart. I have tears, too, for all the children who need in this world and for all the people who care about them...like you. Bless you.

    Jane, who cares what gets done. Having the family together must be wonderful. DSOTM was my son's trademark...the prism was his avatar on several sites, he had his own audiophile website for a while "Great Gig in the Sky". He felt that this album was as nearly perfect as could be achieved. My younger son in college is saying the same thing about the new Muse release. I really like it.

    I'm sorry...my head is so immersed in music...but had to ask. Do any of you know Miko? I love a lot of his music, but especially the song, "Big Girl You Are Beautiful!" A real upper for those of us who are thin-challenged! Anyone into Lou Reed? I received a great story from a music person associated with my son about their connection. Something to pass on to Connor someday. But I ramble...

    Karen, I'm looking forward to a Portia report. Did she get all gussied up? My granddaughter went tonight, too. She had a date, but I don't know who it was...someone new, I assume, since her recent boyfriend dumped her.

     Nancy, carve a pumkin for me, will you? I won't get one done this year.

    Now that Jasper is taking me out for walks every day, I think I'm fit to do the Yellow Brick Road with the rest of you! Hey, did anyone take the role of Toto? Jasper is just the right size and has volunteered. I'll be another brick in the wall....oh...that's Pink Floyd again...sorry. Laughing

    Sue, hang yourself around the neck of that 15-year-old boy of yours...he'll soon be 16 and will need an anchor...a heavy one!

    Hello Sisters ,

    I have doing a bit of research on my neck ! I have learned something haha ... stop laughing AE!

    OK it stated out as if I had a crinkle ..prior to which the last couple of weeks I have felt rubbish and down and kept having to breathe out huge amounts of stress like feeling... and I just could not put my finger on anything! Well one day I was @ work and I told Lauren ohhhh gosh I really have to stay on the till today bcos it hurts too much to stretch, during this day my bad arm felt unusually heavy ...so much so it went through me! So I was ready for my week off work!

    I fell asleep downstairs for most of the night last Tuesday .. I woke up still feeling a crinkle..BUT I knew it wasnt from sleeping downstairs. So it goes... that day I went to Asda shopping ... came back and fell asleep again.. whence I woke up the pain was so severe ... I couldnt even sit up ... OMG ... I have had my scarf and painkillers ever since.

    Well my son David has been feeling rubbish .. like I do...and today myo/h has just started with a sore neck..so I just researched it... and VIRUS can cause sore necks.. now I know meningitis can...but this isnt that ... it can be any tyoe of virus.. as toxins are stored in the neck muscles or any muscles... wow I never knew this... which is why after a deep massage you are told to drink plenty of water!

    So sisters to cut a long waffle short I probably have a VIRUS! Hallelujah... so I am now gonna drink plenty of water !

    Sorry for the ranty xxx

    Hi Lisa, I hope you had fun with your cabin boy! LOL

    x x x x x

    much love xxxx

    2 more days and I am back to work... and I aint even been well enough to enjoy my holiday!

    I am so happy to see you! I have missed you and always look out for your lovely warm sisterly posts! I love you. I hope your ex o/h is feeling a little better. I am sending you lots of bug hugsxx

    I know I cannot believe my son is 15 today... time has flown! I think back to 2007 when I was DX and he was surely just a baby ...but now...man has he grown up... and  it is a good thing given that I thought some awful things when he was just turning 13 or so!

    I bought him an electric guitar and an amp and some studio earphones.. it is a beautiful guitar and he is so pleased with it... we traded in his acoustic one.. as this one was majorly expensive .. £500 ... but it is his xmas pressie as well ... so it was definitely a good buy ... it will last a life time..and he always looks after everything ... he is still looking after my hair that fell out with chemo! GOD BLESS him xxx

    OK sisters ... I am off to make a nice brew , it is very very windy here and the clocks have gone back so it is darkish for 4 30 pm... I know I have asked before ..last year. but DO YOU PUT YOUR CLOCKS BACK ...please remind me xxx

    Much Love xxx

    Hello Ladies,

     Glad to see everyone is chatty as usual.

    WELCOME to all our new ladies - sit back and stay awhile.

    Sue - glad to see you actually learned something this week! lol. But if your neck doesn't start feeling better I am going to start yelling at you to get to the doctors missy.

    (((((Nettie))))))))) - you poor thing - thankfully you only have one more treatment left.  Rad's was easy for me - hope it is for you as well.

    Judie - UB is a HUGE Lou Reed fan.  We met him over the summer in NYC at a book signing, UB was THRILLED!  We were actually suppose to see him & his wife in the UK with Sue but we all know that didn't happen. CryWe have seen in several times, he's great.

    Ladies keep us in your prayers - my mammo is tomorrow and UB's CAT scan is Tuesday - fingers crossed.

    ((((Nettie))))), so sorry to see you having such troubles with your tx. Are you taking taxotere? I think that is a very constipating chemo. I sure hope you are back to your old funny self very soon!

    Sue..glad to hear your neck is doing a little better. It does sound like you have a virus. The neck like Jane and Karen said...carries so much of our stress.  I do the same exact thing! My neck is sore pretty much every day of my life.  I bet your son is thrilled with his new guitar!! Rock on!!

    Judie...congrat's on your baby boy's role in the production as a prince!  Some of the music you mentioned...flooded my brain with so many awesome memories!! Thanks!! I too think it's a great idea to frame the albums.  I still have some old albums myself.

    MEL!!! Always so happy to see your smiling beautiful face!! I am so sorry about your ex. I will keep him in my prayers also.  Thanks for the good wishes for my weekend too!

    Jane...I bet you LOVED having those handsome boys of yours home.  Even if not much work got done...just having them around had to be so wonderful!  I am like you Jane. I grind my teeth at night. I think I have been doing it even  more lately, which explains my wicked headaches. I have a mouthpiece that the dentist made for me to sleep with, so I can't grind...but I misplaced it...lol.  ONLY ME!!

    Cathi...........I can picture all of your Halloween deco's! I always went all out inside and out with pumpkins and halloween decorations.  Not this year.  I wont be home, and my heart isn't into it. I will just think of your home.  I was misty eyed reading about Jacclyn's neighbor. You sure did teach your daughters right.  Jaclyn is as loving and caring as her mom.  I am just like you...I don't want to see one child waking up on Christmas morning not having gifts from Santa.  Cathi...I would like to send something down your way to give to that mom and her children.  Do you think we could help out too?? I know I would love to make this a Christmas they will never forget!! We could start shopping the big sales, and clearance aisles now...and purchase things..please let me know.  I really want to help. Love you Cathi...for being you!!

    Barbe..sorry you are feeling the cloudy gloom.  I know all too well what that is like!! I miss your crazy and fun spirit!

    Karen...I hope Portia had a good time at her dance.  I know my girls, if they weren't dating someone, they liked it best to go with a guy that they were friends with.  It was so low keyed, and much more fun that way.

    Well...my cabin adventure went well!  We did get some rain...but made the best of it.  We didn't have a fire until our last day.  We cooked steaks and baked potatoes and had side dishes...for an early lunch/dinner before heading home on Sat.  On our first night there...I made my famous popcorn..and we drank...drank...drank!! Tony and I played darts...and Kim watched....but we listened to great tunes...and really drank too much! I payed for it on Friday...........bad hangover!! Tony and Kim were ok...not me...I went back and took a nap, after trying to hike.  Then I felt better...and we then went out on a drive.  Came back and showered....and then drove an hour (Tony's idea) to a place to kareoke.  Kinda far for just a short night...but we did really enjoy ourselves, so it was worth it.  Remember when I said, something was different with us??? Well, I am still feeling it.  I need to talk to him.  I am just thinking that he isn't feeling the same about me.  Kim and I discussed it yesterday.  Her words of wisdom were to talk. So, I will. I won't see him for awhile, because I am going to Florida this weekend.  But...the only way I am going to know is by asking...right??  I guess I should be prepared to hear what may come.  By now..this girl should be used to it. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................story of my life.  I'll keep you updated.

    Val....so miss you and our UB. How is he doing?  Good luck to both of you this week.  I see my ONC on tues. Get blood drawn tomorrow.  Hopefully all goes well.

    Much love to my sweet sisters here!!

    xoxo
