    I thought I would bump this up.

    I'm from Lexington. If you're ever this way, let me know and I'll treat you to a BBQ sandwich!

    maybe we should try and arrange a get together - I feel isolated sometimes out here in Jacksonville - We've been to Cary several times (at the Koka for concerts- love that place!) What do you ladies think?

    Hey Holli - I read your background, and our diagnosis dates and statistics are very similar.  My tumor was 1.5 cm, and I ended up with a lumpectomy and radiation, as well as chemo about the same time you did.  Good luck with your races!

    Hi everyone....this makes my 4th attempt at doing this....so I hope it gets through.  I have recurrence to my bones..Dx in Nov 2009.  I'm dealing with migraine this morning.  I can't put into words how I feel right now about anything.  I was Dx first time in Oct 2000...silly me...thought I almost had this beast licked!!!!!!  I don't know if I am putting this in the right place.   I know several of us got together in 2003 in Myrtle Beach in 2003.   Had a great time.  Some of us even did the Komen Race in Charleston, I think that was in 04 or 05.....can't remember.  We called ourselves the "Carolina Girls".  I am trying to connect with them...if they want to.   Our group consisted of Gloria ( my neighbor) whom I still see and is a great friend and listener, Surv5r2001. joannnc, lspears and debelm.

    I live about 30 miles east of Raleigh, lived in Cary 15 yrs.   Have always lived in NC.  Originally from the Graham/Burlington area.   Have a brother and sister-in-law in Jamestown

    Thanks for listening....Kay

    Hello...Just came across this message string...I participated in the Charlotte-2010 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer as a CREW member/water & ice route for the first time.  Had a BLAST meeting new friends...but I did work hard loading and unloading water and ice for walkers!  I plan to participate in 2011 again as a CREW member!  The WALKERS ROCK!

    I just "found" this thread again! I really get overwhelmed with all the posts on BCO and have a hard time keeping up with everything.

    I am all in favor of a get-together of some sort. Maybe we could do something in the Spring or visit each others fundraising events... we could be serial party-crashers!

    lvtwoqlt - We are reversed! I wasn't born in NC but we moved to Statesville when I was young. Went to school there. Moved to Lexington, Boone, and then back to Lexington. I see your nephew at the football games while he's helping with the high school band. Nice to meet you!

    I moved to Lexington when I was in the 9th grade from Ohio. The band director is actually married to my niece but I claim him as my nephew. I haven't made it to any of his football games or band concerts but my parents go to most of the band concerts.

    N C Girls,  I am in Charlotte, just finished surgery by Dr. Sarantou and will hopefully get rads started this week or next with Dr. Bobo.  Mild detour to have fluid drained from seroma.  At first I was not sure if Dr. B and I would get along.  He did make 3 phone calls to reach me and explain why the fluid could impede the dosage of radiation so he's back on my A list.  I'll see him again Tuesday to re CT scan and check the fluid level.  libraylil

    Hi librarylil. I live north of Hickory and Dr Sarantou did my surgery 3 years ago when he was in Hickory. He is a wonderful doctor.

    Hi Christine....I have a brother living in Jamestown....a daughter in Charlotte...and I live in Willow Springs---about 30 miles SE of Raleigh.  I don't post on here very much anymore. I come back sometimes to see how everyone is doing.

    I noticed your post is dated Feb 27.2011 and you said it was a beautiful day...today is a beautiful day too...maybe Spring is finally here!!!!

    Hi MKL,

    Just came in from sitting outside and getting a few minutes of NC vitamin D.  I believe spring is finally here.  Hopefully no more bad storms, we just got power back after 2 days, yard is a mess with limbs and branches.  I am still in chemo, last one will be at end of month, spring sure makes me feel better already.
