    You gals are going to have to keep a close eye on Tink while I am gone.  You know how sneaky she can be.  hehehe.  She did tell me she would be good but....

    Sherry,  I thought I saw you in my garment bag so you could stand up?

    June - You are NOT weak.  Stress has a way of messing with us - big time.  So much going on - no breaks.  Hope your Father gets better soon.  Sending (((HUGS)))

    Sherry - Glad the Tamoxifen is finally cooperating.

    JUne you are not weak.  Sometimes we just need to cry to get it out of our system so that we can then be strong for the people we love.

    Jo we are going to miss you around here while you are gone.  I think Alicia already left us as she has not been on.  We know where her mind is (vacation).

    JustmeAlicia, I got my pool side lounger picked out.

    Jo, you are going to have an incredible time.  Not sure what customs will do when they find all those bodies. LOL

    Just to make all of you jealous and green with envy, it's raining here in WA. Surprise, surprise!!

    I AM STILL here ~ so much to do. 

    Sherry ~ Glad to hear the tamoxifen is settling in with you and you are feeling better.

    There is Alicia thought she had already abandoned us for her vacation.  Don't have anxiety obout not taking tammi.  Just leave her here and have a good time then surgery and then you can hook back up with her.

    Jo/Alicia- enjoy your trips....sooooo close!!

    June/sherry- I feel more like me odya..a bit more energy...I went to my appointment with the oncologist..talked to his nurse first and cried then with him and cried....safe place to do so...hav ebeen telling everyone except you guys that "I am fine" because mostly, I am....but I have also been terrified...and overwhelmed....told them that I have been waiting until the June mammogram to find out if I am the good or the bad 50% (who get lobular cancer in the opposing breast within 14 months)....how about living with that statistic for 9 months? Dr. Rayson said...Sandee...it is 15% statistically..of a new cancer....and it is a ten year time frame....and your prognosis was excellent...the tamoxifen was an 'extra' reassurance...you are fine. It is ok for you to be off cancer medications right now...we will reevaluate in July..do a blood test then...see if you ar efully menopausal or not  and will reevaluate at that time..."....I felt SOOOOO reassured...his nurse later suggested the internet was not the best place for me to get my facts ( and I said Helen...I don't get my info form the internet...this statistic came to me another way)....to which she responded...ok...yeah...I know where....but they are not accurate....

    in any case...I walked part way to school in the rain....letting the rain wash my tears...I felt so completely overwhelmed and relieved...what a burden...and last night my galpal who I was supposed to be travelling with had written to say a lab technician had told her she had 'superficial lymphoma'..WTH.I spent a good portion of last night trying to get information on it...went to Canada's lymphoma site WOW!! lots of info but overwhelming...anyhow, she emailed again today to say that the technician had given her wrong information, that she took a nurse friend with her to meet the Dr. today and that all is well...they think she may have an infection and think it will lear up in a couple of weeks.....phew!....I feelbetter on all kinds of levels...grateful

    tink- it is ok to have had a few bad days my dear...the tears help us move forward. Glad you are feeling better today

    ducky- sorry to hear you too have had a heart attack..doesn't matter where in th old pump it was...scary stuff. But yeah...you are not a candidate for tamoxifen

    Still have lots to do but wanted to take a break and check in with everyone.  Haven't even gotten the suitcases out yet. UGH!

    Sandee - Everything will work itself out in time.  Sometimes we need to cry - all those pent up emotions we tend to carry around and don't know it.  This disease is all too confusing and keeps us guessing way too much.  (((HUGS)))

    Sherry - You will have to keep a close eye on Tink. Good luck with that. hehehe

    Jo and Alicia-BonVoyage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Will miss you both

    Sandee-glad you had the meeting today and found some reassurance.  I have my first mammo on MOnday and am starting to kinda freak out about it.  I guess I need to keep myself busy.  Glad you got to cry and let it all out.  We need that sometimes.

    Jo I'll try to keep up with Tink but you know how she can be.  Her wings may be very short by the time you get back.hehe  June you may need to help out here.

    Sherry - I won't be here on Monday but wanted to send out best of luck and keeping my fingers crossed for B9 results.  Try to relax and breath over the weekend.  You know the drill, the waiting is the worst and you never get used to it.  You will do just fine.

    I was told on good authority that Tink has extra sets of wings, so do watch out for her.

    Tink - Hope you had a good visit with your daughter tonight.  ((HUGS)) to your family.

    Tink I am so glad you had a good visit.  Do they know how long she will have to be there?

    Jo rest assured that I will keep Tink in line and if not I just might join her and steal her wings and adopt a new name too.....hmm....what could that be?

    ECG where are you???  Are you okay?

    Sherry waiting is the hardest part that is for sure.....try and enjoy yourself this weekend!  You have been through enough and I know in my heart it is only going to be good news.....Hugs!

    Sandee.....you are one strong lady who amazes me.  BC and then a heart attack and being so young.  You have been dealt alot and should not ever hesitate to cry in front of anyone.  Sometimes I think okay, so I have DCIS which is non invasive and what the heck am I worrying about as all you other ladies have it so much worse.  But I know with this horrible disease never to take anything so lightly that every single person is different.  I still have yet to have a clean report so I am not out of the woods yet either......I love your strength and need to draw from it....Hugs to you!

    Jo and Alicia!! HAVE AN AWESOME TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    ((((((((((June)))))))))) My heart goes out to you!


    Sherry will keep good thoughts going for you for Monday!!


    Been working my crazy shift as usual, and been hurting like He...double hockey sticks!!!    My boob feels like knives are being jabbed thru it most  of the time here lately. It was off and on, but the last four days, constant! Called surgeon's nurse Wed.....she said I needed to go to my primary dr. since it has been so long since I had the surgery (12/23), ok, so I call and go to primary dr. ......he gives me meloxicam which is a bit stronger than Ibuprophen. says it will hurt for a bit and then quit. I about screamed at him!!!  He wasn't even going to give me that until I looked him straight in the eye and said.......Oh, so I come to you today, and you say........Go and hurt and have a good day............          (he set me up with a pain clinic.........gee sometimes I hate drs.!!!!   anyway. Took two of them already and nope, they don't ease it any.....oh well, guess I will just hurt (more)....... I have fibromyalgia and hurt anyway.....I have a certain point I can hurt without any meds, then comes that point and the last four days I have been way past it......

    Alicia - HAVE A GREAT CRUISE!  Hope you did not have too many of the gals stuffed in your suitcases. LOL

    sunangel - Hope you get some relief soon.  I had boob pain for 2 1/2 months and mine started about a month after rads.  It has gone away on its own but that was a miserable time so I can feel your pain.  (((HUGS)))

    Tink, Sherry, June,, ECG and all the other tammibabes!  WIll miss you all!  I am so thankful for all your love and support.

    WHERE IS EVERYONE?   It's Friday night - pillow fight night.

    I haven't gotten on the ship yet.  We left home a day early.  Had the opportunity to start vacation already.  Sitting in a hotel watching TV.
