    Sending you hugs and love and lots of prayers, dear sister. We'll be back in Virginia toward the end of October. I think I need your address.

    Love, Anna

    Oh no, Marylou.  I am so sorry. Since I don't get here often, I just found out and can't find the words.  I love you and I'm here for you.  This is for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K4MURYsv3k

    I think so......you could meet my mom. She is finishing my quilt to bring down on the third of Sept. ..... She was in very poor health for a few months. We thought she would never sew again. But she has had a turn around. Smile

    Mary Lou - thinking of you today.  Hope you are not in pain.  I'm not sure why I don't see your posts on FB.  I'll check again.  Sending gentle hugs your way.  Love you dear friend.

    Mary Lou, I keep thinking there is some great cosmic joke; but if so, I don't get it.  Please know how much we love you and want to surround you with that love and support.  Are you being treated by a different team this time?  My bc/aerobics/all-around BFF was dx'd with bone mets in 2004 and treated with surgery (double), chemo, Zometa and Arimidex.  Today, the bone scan shows no sign of disease.  She had no side effects at all from the Zometa and the usual bone/joint issues many of us have from Arimidex.  Are you in pain?  If so, what are they doing about that.  Any thoughts about adding some alternative treatments; i.e. acupuncture, healing touch, bio feedback, etc. 

    Hugs to all my sisters

    Nancy.

    My team is different. ( The center changed from Carillon to Lewis Gayle I have some pain , believe it or not it fluctuates with the weather just like Arthur.

    I can touch places on my body that are sore and that is where the mets is.

    (Skull, femur, pelvic, hips , spine and ribs.)

     I'm going to see how the treatments go first.

    What a joy to hear Mary's voice today.   Glad we had a nice chat.  How is everyone else doing?  It's been a very long time since everyone has checked in.  Hope all is well.

    Hi there girls. How is everyone doing? Seems like a life time has passed since we all first came to this page.

    What has been happening in your world ?

    I know all our kids are growing like weeds.

    Sebastian played soccer this year. Can't believe all the things I have been able to enjoy.

    So good to hear from you, Mary Lou! Things are going well here. I'm going in to have one of my flaps adjusted a bit (scar tissue removed), but other than that there's little to report. 

    I hope all my sisters are well and happy!
