Florida People WHERE R U?

I'm good with the 6th.

I think the 6th would be fine for me.

kira1234, I live just outside Lakeland.  We're probably on the same schedule. I go back to work on Aug 8th, and the kids start on the following Mon.  The last school year was a blur, I'm really thankful to have this summer to recover a bit. 

I'd be up for that. Its a good way to walk off the calories!

I'm game as well.

Let's plan on the 6th, then. OK, everyone, go check out the restaurants and we'll vote. I vote Bella Brava, since I haven't been there since they moved to Beach Dr. So after lunch, Kira and I are going to the Dali. Anyone else is welcome.

Bella Brava sounds good to me. So let plan a time to meet up. I'm thinking of staying at a motel Sat. night. Anyone have a good suggestion?

Heh mccrimmon !

Just looked at your profile....I'm a triple neg too here in Punta Gorda.  Hope all is well with you and everyone else out there.  Would like to do the Tampa thing as well but not sure of my schedule.  Have been unemployed (company moved to California) and am considering going back to school for phlebotomy or something in the medical field...at my age...ughhhh....haven't hit the lottery yet so have to do something.  Smiles and hugs to all....

Hey Punkinfish,

Would love to do a get together, unfortunately I'm still going thru Chemo so have to be picky with my schedule, Tampa sounds like fun.  Yes, I'm TN too, did you have to go thru Chemo?

Barbara have we decided on a time yet

Tha sounds like a good time.

Punkinfish/Marilyn,

Yep, I do go to the cancer center in PC - have Dr. Lobo, love him!!  I've heard the name Heather there a few times but don't know which nurse she is.  That's funny, my name is also Heather and that's why it's stood out.  My next treatment is Thursday, I'll have to ask if she's in.  I'm doing TAC, Taxotere & AC x 6 - only had two so far, not so bad but considering before it started I was envisioning 6 months of constant nauseas, the works...  I hear it gets worse with each treatment though.  Glad to hear your doing well, it's bad enough that we all have BC but I hate that they don't really know too much on TNBC. 

Mariyn,

So far the treatments haven't been too bad but I understand they are cumlative so I expect the worse each time.  Yes, Tammy is the one that treats me there and I cal myself Elaine Benice (from Sienfeld)  I must have the same type of dr file.  I think my anxiety is so high and I'm so freaked out everytime I go I think I drive everyone crazy.  I'm surprised they don't scatter.  LOL  I have to admit both my hubby and me are very impressed with the way the cancer center is run.  I think all drs should take lessons. 

Mcrimmon/Heather,

You're half way there !!  Excellent!!  Yes, Heather told me she saw you and introduced herself.  Very cool.  I thought she had the whole day off but was there till 3.  They're in the Keys now, doing a snorkeling trip...sounds like fun but I can't even swim...and of course I'll worry about them till they are home.  I hope you don't feel bad this weekend. You are looking at the other side of the treatments now..you're getting there and will be done before you know it.  Hang in there.  Thinking of you and wishing you all good things.

BarbaraA,

Heh !!  No, they drove down...4 1/2 hr drive from Punta Gorda to where they're at...upper Keys.  But I've heard the Key West Express is pretty cool tho I've never done it either.  Sounds like a big party going down and coming back and that sure beats that drive. Anymore I'd rather take a beating than be in the car that long.

Thanks Barbara we are staying at a different place we found. DH and the kids are coming down as well. We are going to stay a couple of days and just relax at a condo we rented.
