    Oh Susie.. I new you have had it... but this seems so.. UNFAIR. I bet you wish you could just HIT SOMETHING...

    All of us have a hard time dealing with BC

    Most of us have a long run with Chemo/rad

    Some of us have mastectomies....

    A few have a lot of pain when I the treatment is done..

    And then there is a group.. that seem to suffer endlessly.. and I feel you are in that tiny group NO ONE wants to be in. Honey... I am so so so sorry. Your mind and heart and soul MUST be toast.

    Please know I am praying for you and will do so until you are HEALED.

    So sorry sweety... it seems so.. unfair... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Yeah Susie is freaking AMAZING!  I just feel so sad that you have to endure so much CRAP!

    My right breast has always looked smaller and more flat in front, so he decided to do fat injections.  He injected on both sides to smooth them out.  I had to have 2 tubes, one on either side.  They took out the tube on the left side since it had'nt drained anything...until she pulled it then it gushed.  I'm just hoping there wasn't something blocking it. I'm only freaked about it since it's the side I keep getting cellulits.  My ps was out of town this morning so he had his partner check me out and she said to take it out...My tummy is a bit sore where he took the fat...I sure wish he would have taking all of the fat in my tummy..wishful thinking I think.  My right breast seems swollen, at least I hope that's why it's up so high and sore.  I'm glad he told me no nips this time since my breasts will change...I want those nips in the right place!

    Thanks for all of your prayers and well wishes!  I just love you girls!

    HUGS! Jazzy

    Susie -- you have endured so much and yet remain so upbeat -- you are in inspiration!

    Jazzy -- aw so sorry you didn't get your nips yet!  I thought that was the plan when you went this week?  But glad you are getting what you DO need.  Nip time will come!

    Good morning everyone:

     just checking in to say have a happy week and a quick updated of what I know about the hotels.  Tracey has all the information about hotels.  My understanding is that once we are sure we have gotten the best rate in a nice hotel, we will lock the rate and sign a deal.  One of the things we are looking at is making sure we have a block of rooms that is reserved for us as long a possible.  Ideally 30 days before the event.  I am hoping that we can have something for this week.

    Have a great week.

    Hugs

    Gisella

    I am still under wraps and on pain pills.  I am so happy with this last surgery!  I can get nips any ole time now that my tatas are finally shaping up!  I have been so unhappy with them for quite some time...even though my sweet ps has been saying that it will all be fixed.  After all of the troubles I have had I was beginning to wonder, but I'm finally satisfied so far with this last surgery.  I might post pics on the picture forum.  I have never posted pics since I was a bit embarrassed...first of all everybody who posts pics are itsy bitsy things, I was beginning to think that I'm the only rolly poly girl to have had bc! Second of all I just haven't been happy with my tatas and was afraid I was gonna have to live with them like that even though he kept saying it will all be fixed.  Okok I'm rambling and I really need a nap since I didn't sleep well.  Until next time...TATA FOR NOW!!!

    Hey Hey TA TA SISTA'S!!!  I just finished my Vegas scrapbook from our trip-MEMORIES, can't wait to add the the next chaper. I put the photo of me chatting with you all on the phone from the 1 1/2 reunion in the book as well!!!

    While I was in Vegas this last trip, met up with 2 wonderful unique people. One is Jerry Olivarez, his wife put together a great support group. Mother's whose babies have Cancer & they just had their 2nd event. The link incase you want to know more or donate is babylovebabylove.org  I told Jerry I would pass on the information.  Next got to meet another SISTA at the Flamingo Apparel- D'FINESS. She gave me her e-mail & phone #  so I could let her know about our trip & she might be able to meet up with us. Her family doesn't even know,they are so far away & she doesn't want them to worry. Gonna e-mail her with this sight, perhaps she will chime in. Her name is Ti, if I got it right ?!

    Hope all is well with the family of SIsta's, still send out power prayers to everyone. I see my Dr. this Friday, he is out of town till then, so won't know anything or where we go from here till I see him. I seriously doubt surgery will be happening anytime soon,still not in the safe zone of them going in again. Will let you all know as soon as I do.

    Miss you all & starting the count down - alittle over 7 months till we meet again-WAHOOOOOOO

    Take care  Chow  XOXO Susie

    Hi ladies got on line for the 1st time in a long time

    reading about tatas flashing at the bar made me giggle

    Sunday I went and visited my friend Kim. Monday she was having her last radiation treatment on her brain.  She's still weak but can move her ankles and toes.  When we left she did get up and walk us to the door.  I was happy to see that because she didn't get up when we arrived.  Monday I got good news that my co-workers biopsy was negative but than Tues found out that my co-workers son ( appox 25 years old) that was diagnosed with a brain tumor right before I found out I had cancer isn't doing well at all.  They called in hospice, tomorrow he and his wife are flying to Vegas and going to try and see the grand canyon.  After I got back from my grand canyon trip his mom shared that's something he really wants to do so she's determined to get him there.  Sometimes life just isn't fair : (

    POWER PRAYER TO ALL-there is way to much saddness with what we have to live with & those who we also love & share with their lives!!!

    I've got some COOL news......I entered Aurora in the SunnyD contest-keep your finger's crossed, would love to win the grand prize( for personal reason's-will tell in a bit),but there are other's whose stories are very touching!!!  If you want to read & see her photo here is what you have to do, let's see if I can get it right.    Go to SunnyD.com      then go to Promotions, then to gallery of entries & look for the story of "AURORA" !! You will see a photo of her with my sunburned arm around her along with wearing my pink bracelets & the one you Jazzy gave me :)

    The Grand prize is a trip to meet Martina & see her in concert!!! My Mother was a big fan & when I had Aurora(our miracle baby) Mom gave me Martina's Cd with the song "IN MY DAUGHTER'S EYE'S", she dedicated that to me. Then when we lost Mom in the accident, I had them play that very song at her memorial. Mom was involved in the same organziations the Martina was,very touching when I found out. That CD became Aurora's & my healing getting thru our lost of Mom. Everytime I would play it or it would come on the radio-Aurora would say "that's NA NA'S song's". I even wrote a letter to her fan club just to let her know what her music had done for my family-Bryan mailed it out the day after I was admitted to the hospital 2 months after losing Mom. We never did hear anything-but after seeing this contest, I felt compailed to enter-who knows, maybe we'll get lucky!!  Wish us luck, but I want the best deserving Child to win!!!

    Ok-now you have a insight abit more of me!!  Will let you all know after appt. tomorrow with Dr. what lies ahead for me regarding this new ARGGGG HERNIA!!

    Take care  Chow   XOXO Susie

    How AWESOME SUSIE!!!  The only way I could find Aurora is by typing in your email address.  Hmmm  But SO STINKIN ADORABLE!!!

    {{{Sandy}}} I have been putting this as my status on facebook whenever I need a reminder, "Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance!"

    Let's face it CANCER SUCKS!!!  I am so sorry Sandy to hear of these sad things, my heart just aches for you and the families...I know, we just lost a Cookie Lee consultant to Brain Cancer.  She had been with the company for 15 years!  John and Cookie were by her side whispering sweet things and memories in her ear.  At our leadership conference last month John and Cookie brought her up on stage and said a prayer for her amongst about 500 cookie lee consultants.  You just don't see that happening anymore.  John did ask, but let me tell you there wasn't a dry eye in the room.  Rachel passed away about 2 weeks after that.  Just last Oct she thought she had the flu but instead found out she had brain cancer.  Then just passed away in Jan.

    Life is too short and we never know when it's our time to go.  Fortunately we got breast cancer so we could be on this wonderful site, and meet such wonderful women, and to bond and love eachother to be forever friends!  I count myself very blessed to know all of you and as I type this tears are gently streaming down my face.  I thank each and every one of you for always being here for me and for always loving me.

    Oh and p.s. I have cellulitis again.  :-(  I was prepared and looking for it as I went off my antibiotic so I caught it in the early stage.

    I hope all of you are well.....please know that I am praying for all of you and totally looking forward to Vegas!!!  WOOO HOOOO!!!!

    HUGS! Jazzy

    I am getting so excited about seeing ya'll again.  I am hoping that nobody will recognize me at all.  I am trying to lose weight (dang chemo weight) and at least now I have HAIR!!!  I hope to look like a total stranger to the ones that were there last year.
