    Hi, everybody - I'm back from my post-lumpectomy visit, and i"ll be joining the re-excision crowd. My biopsy also showed DCIS, and she didn't get a clear enough margin on the first spot, so in about two weeks I'll do it again (hopefully no wires). And I get to have another mammo first, woo hoo.

     See you all Saturday.

    I'm not able to make it either. The weather has been crazy here, had no power for a while this morning, and a chance of major flooding. It's great living close to the beach! Have a drink on me, and hope to meet up with all of you at the next get together.

    Sorry i missed it, I was hosting a dinner on the west side and with the weather the whole cross town thing did not seem like a good idea. We came back to LI to what looked like a war zone, we just got our power back. I hope to make the next one.

    The river overflowed the main street in my town here in NJ and it closed the town down!  We have power but there is flooding everywhere.  I am rueing the day I chose to live in a house on a lake, let me tell you.

    Sorry to miss meeting everyone -- hope to make the next gtg!

    Actually Angel organized, I just suggested the venue. I probably won't be doing any organizing till we get moved.

    (Still no final word on the co-op)

    Sounds like it was a fun meet up. We got hammered pretty hard in my neck of the woods, or should I say beach. Everybody's basements got flooded. The main road was flooded out overnight, and one of the two other main roads that are used to get in and out of town was closed for at least 24 hours due to down trees, power lines, and major flooding. Hoping the weather is better for the next meet up.

    So glad to  meet all of you yesterday.  You are a great bunch of women and it was helpful listening to all of you.  We all have our own unique stories.  I think we all probably had "fun" getting home.  It took me about 2 1/2 hours to get back to Brooklyn because my subway went out of service due to tree branches falling on the tracks.  Hopefully the weather will  be better for the next GTG.

    Just a quick hello( our internet is finally up & running again). It was fun seeing everyone  (in spite of the weather)& meeting Jill & Carol. Hope everyone rode out the storm safely. Our town looks like a hurricane hit w/ trees  uprooted & power lines down, signs knocked over.. We didn't have running water for a short while due to power outages. Now we are on a boil water advisary, so tonight we went out to eat. I think everyone in the county was out, there was over an hour wait everyplace we checked. One of the trees in my yard fell over into our neighbors yard, knocking down the fence. At least it didn't hit the house. They closed the schools for tomorrow because of no power. My son is very happy. 1 more week till spring!

    Good luck on your exchange Francine!

    My phone, internet and cable TV went out Sat night when a huge tree on my street fell -  flattening two cars, destroying part of a house, blocking the street entirely and starting a small fire.  Luckily my electricity stayed on, most other people on my street were completely w/o power for 2 days.  My cable TV and internet (cable connection) just came back on.  WOO HOOO!  I'm addicted and was going a bit insane.

    Sorry I missed you all, I was feeling sick (bad cold or flu type thing) and wasn't up to going out in that weather.  Back to hitting my NyQuil....  

    Also got laid off on Friday, so a GTG was no longer in the budget.  When it rains it pours, especially this past Sat!  LOL.

    I am nearing the end of my tunnel and do believe I finally see sunshine.

    Francine - glad to hear everything went well with your exchange. 

    As for me, I went for my follow-up visit at Sloan yesterday and finally got the results of the E-cadherin stain they did on my tissue.  It turns out I don't have DCIS, but rather Pleomorphic LCIS.  They recommend just monitoring closely and I've joined their research/study that they are doing on PLCIS. Also will be taking Evista. After 3 months of not knowing what my real diagnosis was, I feel like a giant weight has been lifted.  I know this doesn't mean I'm totally free and clear, but at least I finally know what I am dealing with.

     Bonnie jean: A big hug & sigh of relief to you. Now that you have a definitive diagnosis it should get a little easier just knowing. Good Luck!

    Nah, the job thing is a blessing for the moment.  I needed some time to deal with my Momster drama.  That's where it would be nice if the Universe gave me a break.   Though a new job certainly would be an excellent thing!
