    Yes, we are on the 500th page.  Due to hit 15,000 posts soon too, except now it has gotten confusing because I have one number of all posts and one number that doesn't include deleted double posts.  They are both pretty impresive milestones. 

                                                

    Oh, is everyone having a late night snack?  What a coincidence...I am on my 500th bag of Cheetos since my Dx, and I am happy to share.

    Oh, those all look so good, I think I'll have them for breakfast.

    I am fascinated with the cheetos addiction.  Of all snack foods to be addicted to Cheetos?  They're okay, but there are just a lof of other snacks I'd choose before them.  I think the worst thing about them is the way they make your fingers orange.  Definitely like chips though, can't eat just one once I start.

    I missed it to Jo!  This is what happens when I deceide to clean on a friday night.  UGH!!!  It looks like a good time was had by all!

    Well I finally brought myself to clean my daughters room and move stuff over.  I am still teary eyed as I do it.  I miss her so.  Her bro is having a hard time as well.  They are like two peas in a pod and his heart is breaking so for her.  That is also one of the reasons I have a hard time with her moving.  I can be a big girl and handle it, (sometimes not so well) but to see him and his broken heart just sends me over the edge.  They fought like cats and dogs, but they love each other just as hard!  Ok enoughnow Im gettting teary eyed again.

    Reesie I hope all is going well for you.  Keeping you in my prayers!

    Janis I will be there with bells on and I will bring a few goodies as well.

    Paula....this is clearly a very emotional event.  I am sorry it is so hard.  I had sons, but it was still hard when they went away.  Both went out of state to college and once they left, they never returned.  They were adults and on their own.  Hold her close to your heart Paula...she is always there.  HUGS!

    I missed the party too.  I was TIRED but had a busy day so that is good.  The food looked fantastic! 

    CM breakfast looks equally wonderful and of course the Mimosa's are a great addition.  Haven't had one in years, time to indulge!

    We are still on the 500th page, so we can still be as festive as we want to be.  Plus, by one reckoning, we have hit 15,000 posts (by another we have ten more posts to go...whatever.)  Thanks, jo!  Yes we do like to get our gab on on this thread, and I thank all the women for the sharing, the support and the laughs we have on here.  

                           

    It might be a little early to start munching on these, which is good because the signage can last a little while then.  If I actually took this picture, I would have had to have hid the M&Ms, so they made it through the night.  The other day I was telling my kids how they used to have light brown M&M.  My kids had no memory of them.  I'm not sure when they went away either.  But I know this group remembers them.

    I missed last night's party, too. I was back in bed, after waking from a 3 hour nap a couple of hours earlier. I started back to work this week - just 4 hours a day. I came home exhausted every day and crawled into bed for a nap. I haven't even started working with the kids on my caseload (occupational therapy) yet. All I was doing was paperwork and scheduling. I'm going back full time next week. I don't know where I'm going to find the energy. I would love to spend the day today just vegging in my recliner, but have to run errands, grocery shop then dinner with my 92 yo dad. If I can get myself out of the house soon, I'll have time for a nap before dinner. I just have to motivate myself to get in the shower and get my day started. When I had my MX, almost 17 years ago - at this point in my recovery - I  was working full time and had started chemo. I guess recovery time really increases the older you get.

    Morning everyone ( or is it afternoon?!),  Missed the breakfast Claire but thanks for the drinks!  After working 10 hours yesterday went to bed after the 500 party and zonked out for 12 hours!  Talk about tired, holy cow I haven't slept that long since my surgery.  Well its a good thing for my healing still and I guess I shouldn't beat myself up. 

    Hauntie- you'll find the energy somewhere just like we all do when it comes to working and especially helping others with their pains.  Your a caring person and you will do well.

    (((HUGS))) to everyone this morning.  Kitty

    Wow, this sure is a fun and lively group!  I'm in the age range so would love to join you all.  I'm also trying to watch my weight so not sure I can stay strong looking at all the delicious food but I'll try.  I had my lumpectomy on 8/25 and hope to start radiation next week but it all depends on my Oncotype score which I'll learn on Tuesday.  It looks like this group will support and encourage anyone on any treatment path so I'll keep you posted.  Can't wait to find out what a mystery picture is!

    Greetings, nancygv55!  Your Dx is almost identical to mine, but I got bumped up into Grade 2 after the final surgery pathology.  Hoping you get a low Onco score but I will tell you that a lot of times the number falls into the grey zone between low and intermediate and then it falls back on you to decide what to do anyway.  I had a score of 18, which the doc said would lower my risk another 2-3%.  I passed on having the chemo.  Is your rads left or right side?  You are right that on this thread we are a big mix of experiences, with plenty that did rads.  There's always support for any stage or treatment here.

    Weekend Mystery Pic is something that started over the summer.  I hope Yaya5 didn't forget it is her turn to post one today.   It has to be a perplexing pic of something, and we have to guess what it is.  Then the winner posts the next one.  Since the weekends are not surgery days or active treatment days, we just do it to be playful and have fun.  But if anyone has a weekend crisis, we are here too...24/7 for info. or support, trying our best to help each other.

    Congrats on the 15,000 posts!!  Since I'm usually a "lurker" I have probably only contributed 5 or 6 on this whole thread!!  BUT  this thread usually can put a smile on my face no matter how I am feeling!  Thanks E, for a great thread!
