    My fave is #14 -- DH and I used to joke that he should put camo netting over his cubicle and wear camo to work and turn around abruptly and get into a defensive crouch when anyone said his name.  Then we decided that nobody would notice in that workplace ..... but it was fun to picture!

    HI, Libby, this sucks. I had a second primary in the other breast a few years ago. I think I got through things much easier, since I was a veteran with the waiting, etc. I knew more. Nonetheless, it's a blow to your confidence and well-being to get another diagnosis. Hang in there!

    I'm liking #6. It would start some juicy gossip!

    #18   I used to live in Washington DC - the Zoo there (well, the one with most of the beautiful animals) is on a Main Rd ( Connecticut Ave) - right near a busy, busy Metro stop - and I can NOT stop laughing at what would happen......love them ALL, but #1, and #18 crack me up!

    SO good, Blue.  We're all ready for the "shocking" ones now ;)

    Ok, so I cheated and googled jokes, since I can never remember any good jokes.. Here's one I found:

    Unusual
    Funeral

    A woman was leaving a convenience store with her
    morning
    coffee when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession
    approaching the
    nearby cemetery.

    A long black hearse was followed by a second
    long
    black hearse about 50 feet behind the
    first one. Behind the second
    hearse was a solitary
    woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a
    short distance
    back, were about 200 women walking single file.

    The
    woman was so curious that she respectfully
    approached the woman walking the
    dog and said,
    "I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a
    bad time
    to disturb you, but I have never seen a funeral like this.
    Whose
    funeral
    is it?"

    "My husband's."

    "What happened to him?"

    The woman
    replied, "My dog attacked and killed him."

    She inquired further, "Well,
    who is in the second hearse?"

    The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She
    was
    trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her."

    A poignant
    and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women.

    "Can I
    borrow the dog?"

    "Get in line."

    Libby - I was upset when I found out about my second primary but when you think about it, just be glad they found it so small and they'll remove it. It's the one thing that I keep coming back to - it's all that matters.

    Thanks, AnneW and SusieQ.  Radiologist believes it is new primary even though it is in the same breast and has the same pathology as my first dx 4 years ago.  It is in a different location.  At this point, it is only for sheer clinical interest that I wonder if it is indeed a new primary or a recurrence.  As I told a friend of mine, I think it's time to do something about Bad Boob.  She just sits there and makes cancer.  It would be different if she were a hedge fund manager and making some money, but she's just making trouble.  It might be time to tell her goodbye!  Hmmm ... wasn't there some talk about a sick sense of humor a few pages back?  Count me in!

    Libby - a recurrence would be in the same area as the first one. I've avoided BMX even when my surgeon wanted to do one because of having bilateral bcs. If I ever get a new primary I'll have no choice as I've now had both radiated. Love your hedge fund reference :)

    OK blue.  There is no #20 is there?  Anybody want to join me on the dense bench?  I have cheesecake.

    Will be interesting to see what the surgeon says Libby ... how many strikes do they give an evil boob before they call it out I wonder.  Probably will turn out to be your choice so hopefully you will have time to think it through.

    i was told if it came back in Bad Boobie, the only option would be mastectomy because you can't zap the same boobie twice. Not just an issue of the BadBoobie but also the impact on ribs of zaps.  It thins them or something so that you would be way too inclined to breakage.  Me, I took the gamble and went for zaps and have my fingers crossed...sigh.  It so $uck$ that no matter what you never get out of the woods. . .

    still more (((hugs))) Libby.

    And also (((hugs))) to you too Blue for being dragged through the dirt on the thread that shall not be named.  

    Chinese wonton soup for lunch with my two sons.....mmmmmmm

    3M, that's what I was told too -- you play the rads card only once. Interestingly, my radiologist said that it depends on what the MRI shows...if it doesn't show anything else, then a lumpectomy might be in order. If there are other suspicious areas, it might be time to send Bad Boob on her merry way. No rads, though -- I'm certainly done with rads after 28 regular and 8 boosts. Surprising I don't glow in the dark.



    I just said to a girlfriend of mine who lives near me -- who had a recurrence if IDC and just had a bi mast and recon: you are eventually out of the woods, but you are always in the shadow of the trees. But this is the best outcome of a situation with major suckage, so I am grateful for that. And I won $14 on a scratch off lottery ticket today.

    White Rabbit....I'll have a piece of that cheesecake.

    Blue.....it does seem like someone does not care for you too much and tries to ruffle your feathers. Isn't it nice to be loved?

    Libby....congrats on the winning lottery ticket. The most I have ever one on a scratch ticket is $100.00 when we were vacationing in Seattle.

    I don't think blue got dragged much.  Those who have been sneakily trying to drag her got exposed though.  As much as that whole thing was ridiculous maybe this will put a stop to some of it.

    Patty ... I put a little lemon in my cheesecake.  You OK with that?  Smile

    i think you should spend the $14 on some really excellent chocolate.

    Not a clue what's for dinner but if someone can apparate me (ala Harry Potter) some crabcakes, I will be ever so grateful. . . .

    Congratulations Libby on the win.

    Has anyone else noticed that at night fall this person becomes even more deranged and starts posting like mad? I always wonder what happens. Do the wolves come out at night? It's a mini-manic episode every night. How absolutely aggravating, though. Where are the mods when you need them (silly question). They should delete a thread when it is clearly not started for the stated intention.

    Speaking of "ulterior motives" I had a very healthy early dinner of organic brown rice and zucchini.

    is "zucchini" code for something like sausage or cigar?  I keep forgetting....dratted tamoxifen!!! Tongue out

    i am practicing my compassion with some people.  Some people really need it.  Sad actually.

    I'm not having that much success on that front. I have compassion, but also anger because my criteria for insanity, as in not knowing the difference between right and wrong or up and down, is, ironically, quite stringent. Wink You are accountable unless psychotic, frankly. Especially on the more disturbing issue of integrity. Karl Rove tactics make my blood boil.

    Chicken Italian sausage,macaroni and tomato sauce and a hunk of multi-grain bread to mop up the sauce. Pretty good meal considering I was the only one home.

    My 5 year old granddaughter is a mini drama queen. We had a party and she flopped down on the floor and said that there were too many people talking (The little extrovert meant she couln't get any of the adults to listen to her). I told her to go outside. The next time she was over and she got wound up I told her to save he drama for her llama which she thought was hilarious. I wish everybody was so easy to deal with.
