THE 2ND TA TAS SISTERHOOD REUNION IN VEGAS!!

... Susie.. on ANY page here you can just go to the top and re-read Traceys original post. It has all the new updated hotel info...

Lilah.. my hair grew about 4 inches in 14 months.. ( from bald to 4 inches. Then I went off Herceptin.. and now it is growing at normal speed. Hair grows 1/2 a month normally.. Hang in there... you'll have an AMAZING pixie style in Oct.

I am not sure how long I will grow mine.. I feel too old for the really long locks I once had... I think I will just keep it medium and updated..:)... play with some color soon....:)

Linda -- LOL

Laura -- thanks   I am just happy to have any hair right now.  I didn't seen any signs of growth til I was 8 weeks PFC (so I was starting to get antzy).  Before I did the buzz cut (which I did just before it all fell out near the start of chemo), my hairdresser who happens to be a BC survivor cut my hair to about oh 4 inches or so and it looked SO CUTE.  I could not believe it.  I've had long hair all my life.  It was like she was giving me a preview of the me to come. 

Brain scan clean...I'm a very happy sister right now.  Thanks for your encouragement, thoughts, and prayers.

Hugs--Karen 

THANK YOU JESUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGOSH I am in such a good mood today and NOW I am in a Euphoria state of happy Karen... AMAZING to hear.. Thank you for posting... L.

Woo hooo Karen!!!!!

Jancie so sorry about your BIL...hang in there.

Thanks for all of the well wishes.  They are doing more tests on him locally and then those test results will be sent to Sloan or Mayo for final determination and options of treatment.  That is when BIL has to make the decision to come here.  We are getting ready for him but not telling him.  In other words I don't want him to feel bad that we are spending so much money and time making this place just right for him.

Journey - Regarding the Piano Bar - there were what 5 or 6 of us that closed it down at 3 in the morning and then walked for 1 hour back to the hotel.  We all arrived as a group but then a couple of groups left leaving the die hards behind!  Piano Bar or Bust as far as I am concerned!

JANCIE.. YOU are going to be a BIG help to your BIL. You are taking on a lot.. and for some reason.. after meeting you.. I bet you can handle it... and take care of BIL in an amazing way!

Ladies... don't let our DEAR party animal Jancie ( hehehe) scare you... the Piano bar was amazing... BUT there were a few of us that went back to the hotel at midnight ish.... lol... then those wonderful others... left at 3am...hehe... hm... this year I won't feels so bad and will be out of ALL TREATMENT... maybe I will pull the 3am... ( hmmmmmmmmmmmm)...LOL

PS.... JANCIE... you got my SIGN girl???? " Ta Ta Sisterhood sign"

Thank you for all you love and support.  I just got my grades both A's!  Clean scan, A's, I'm going to bed, it has been a stressful week!

Janice--Thinking of you, your family, and your BIL.

I think I messed up and school starts the Monday before Vegas, so I will probably come in late in the afternoon on Friday and have to leave on Sunday.  I cannot wait to see you all with my own eyes!!!!

OK--off to bed, yes it is 7:04pm.  I have to rest up for Vegas.

Hugs--Karen

KEW- that's great about your scans! Such a relief to have that stress gone from your daily life.

 Janice- thoughts are with you..........having your home routine upended is stressful.  Hope you can find some quiet time each day, even if it is just for 5 minutes to do some deep breathing helps.

Ladies- you all sound like you are heading to Vegas tomorrow :-)  It definitely sounds like the Vegas trip includes some serious bonding, and emotional healing.  I am trying to figure out if I can some how make the trip. I also have a breast friend LOL! that I met during radiation and she is thinking about making the trip as well.  I just really don't like to be away from my son for more than a night.  Plus, I don't have family nearby, so would have to rely on friends to take him in for the weekend..........not complaining, just explaining :-)

good nite 

Congratulations on your clean scans, Karen!  What a wonderful feeling that must be - I'd be going to bed at 7 pm as well...

And I'm happy that your hair is growing back, Laura and Lilah - you both are so adorable and you must be thrilled that you are getting back to your old selves.

Jazzy, sending my best wishes to you!

Jancie ~ You will need to go to Vegas to get some rest.  Might need to take a nap on top of that piano . . . .

KEW ~ So glad to hear the good news on the clean scans!!!

Laura ~ They didn't say anything to me about the room locations when I called, just that I was part of the group.

Seriously, is it time to start packing?????????

Colleen

Laura...My husband and I left last Thurs for Seattle.  One of my high school friends reserved the whole top floor of this amazing historic hotel with his timeshare points!  We had a little reunion with our high school drama buds!  IT WAS A BLAST!!!!  THEN Sunday my very best girlfriend flew in from Baltimore!!  We have been having SO MUCH FUN!  She and I along with my daughter and my son's girlfriend took a little road trip to a casino in OR.  MORE FUN!!  Needless to say I haven't been around to check in, sorry.  Trust me I feel all of the love!

Karen..YAY!!  Laura another WOO HOO for you too!!  Teresa I will be thinking of you on Monday!  I will try not to let you be the "butt" of my jokes.  hehe Packer SO GOOD TO SEE YOU ON BOARD!  And I LOVED your phone call!  THANKS SO MUCH!

Thanks for all the good wishes but my appointment has been moved to May 3rd, the monday after my tats.  So thats ok.

7 months and 4 days until Vegas!!!!

Teresa

jazzygem- glad to hear you had so much fun in Seattle.  It's nice to take your mind off all this cancer stuff isn't it. It's pretty amazing how many people you you touched just by standing up and talking about bc.org, way to go!

 I am heading for some R & R myself (I don't know how much I'll get with a 6 year old underfoot), Mexico here I come :-)

Hi Ladies!  I just found your group, and was wondering if I could join in?  I live in Las Vegas and would love to come meet up with everyone at your 2nd reunion?

I've finished chemo, and I have my BMX - no reconstruction, this next Tuesday, March 30th.  Then radiation, then ovaries removed.  But, I hope to be in great shape by the time you are here in Vegas!
