MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN 40-60ish

juliet62...oh my yes!  That sounds like heaven.  Better stuff my face while I can still eat, LOL!  Might have to have a little pre surgery party over the weekend.  YUM.

martha....I don't think the doctor really wants to even consider the correlation unlesss this turns out to be cancer.  He is thinking not, basically said he feels there is about a 20% chance it is cancer. The way I see it, that means there is an 80% chance that it is not.  I like those odds! Thanks for the well wishes.  I am not worried...yet! 

Janis, I highly doubt there is a correlation...that's why I was asking.

Here's to the 80%!!! Yeehaww!!!

Welcome Marthah! Janis I'll be home bored so I"l jump in your pockets for surgery next week if you come with fo mine tomorrow. Finally getting that bmx and ooph tomorrow.



Just hope I don't go backwards with my leg and arm pt (I'm sure I won't do the exercises like I'm supposed to).

Hi everyone, been off the boards for 4 days and there's no way I can catch up. Did a bunch of running around (riding really) Friday and Saturday for my step-daughter and daughter and then had to recooperate for 2 days. Tomorrow's round 2 of chemo and I am dredding it. Have also had a sore spot on my back (left side-same as chemo) that has a slight discoloration to it, so I am going to ask my onc about it tomorrow. I don't know if it is a skin issue due to chemo or if it is something else. Hopefullly it is nothing but anything near the site of the cancer is scaring me. Not looking forward to the SE's either. Anyone else have sore spotsjust under their skin when they had chemo?

Hey Janis, you can count me in for next Tuesday. I still have a positive vibe for you with this.  Party hardy this weekend and I'm sure everyone here will help !!  Here's a preview I'm sure.

He can serve drinks and cater to our needs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY MONDAY NIGHT!

ressie-May your day tomorrow go smooth as silk!  You have been throught alot and deserve an easy go of it.  Keep in mind that we are all there for you and the team spirit will pull you through.  Kitty

Geez - this thread moves fast. I go away for a weekend and I'm pages and pages behind. I'm trying to catch up, but it could take a while. I guess I missed out on the cupcakes and the vote for Miss Pink, October 2011.

Welcome to all the newcomers. I'm sorry you had to join our group, but as you can see, we welcome you with open arms. This is a great place for info and even more important - support.

Reesie - something happened to my flash player, so I just caught a glimpse of the MBC video. You look great. love the hair. How are you feeling?

I've caught my first cold of the school year. I lasted until noon at work, then came home and went to bed. I have lots of new little kids on my caseload this year, with new big germies. I'm going to have to build up some immunity to them quickly or it's going to be a very long school year. I'm about ready to head back to bed. Have a good evening everyone.

Hello to all the new girls on this thread I have been reading for over an hour now!

Reesie, hope everything goes well tomorrow and don't forget to remind them that you are a celebrity now! Loved the news story.

E, I love the puppy in pink! I don't know even BC can't stop me from loving the color pink LOL

Since moving back to Omaha I have to find a new onc and that sucks, I will still travel back to NY to see my BS at Sloan for my yearly MRI's.

Just took a new seasonal job working for Omaha Steaks, gosh I wish it didn't take so long to reinstate my nurses license I have a job with a hospice organization as soon as I get through. I passed my math test with a 92% and I celebrated with a glass of wine! I am so bad with numbers

Okay, back a few pages somebody posted a picture of Johnny Depp and it made me think of a thread I just read about a new sexual aide called "Scream Cream" for all of us who are in menopause. Can't you just laugh thinking about asking your Dr. for this new med?

Hugs and love to all,

Linda

Reesie, prayers and good thoughts for your surgeries tomorrow.  Will be in your pocket through the whole thing.  Ditching the cheetos and bringing tgif burgers with jack daniels sauce for you.  Wishing you smooth sailing through the surgery and easy recovery.

Janis, the same for you next Tuesday.  I would like those percentages if I were you too.  How are you otherwise?  Is the worst rad burn ever healing yet?

marthah, my MO questioned me about drinking too.  I hardly drank at all.  Maybe a drink or two on the weekends, sometimes not even that.  It was like the MO didn't believe me.  I told her I hardly drank, she said, "Define hardly."  Sheesh!  I'm Irish and have red cheeks with my fair complexion.  My DH said he thinks it was the red cheeks that made the MO think I drank more than I was admitting to.  It ticked me off a bit.

E, I enjoyed the concession speeches too, but I think the fix was in!  I demand a recount. LOL

Have a good night everyone.

Reesie prayers to you for today and every day.

Gee out sick and you get really behind.  Feeling much better and at work.

Wellcome to all the newbies but can't remember names.  This is a great place to be for questions or just to hand and chat.

Reese and janis will be in your pockets for surgery, I pray all goes well for both of you.

And every Dr I had asked the alcohol question too.  But I don't drink much either and I guessed they believed me.  Kay I don't have red cheeks.

Reesie thinking of you today and wishing you strength and healing.  I so hope you can recover easily and feel better very soon.  You have been on my mind all morning.  Healing hugs.....gentle ones.

Just flying through with GOOD news!

Mamm NEGATIVE - repeat one year!

Now I can breathe again!!!!!!

Hi everybody, here is what my pathology report says. I have Infiltrating Lobular Carcinoma, Well-Differentiated. Because of its samll size and the fact that it was caught so early, my doc is hopeful that the prognosis is good. I won't know for sure until the lymph nodes are looked at. They look good on the mams, but surgery will tell the tale. I just had an MRI of both breasts because my cancer tends to be found in multiple locations. Will post when I have more info about that result. Will probably have surgery next week or the following week. May depend on whether I have a mastectomy or lumpectomy. I was told a plastic surgeon can attend the surgery and get started on reconstruction if I need a mastectomy. Wow, what a roller coaster ride! I feel dizzy and nauseous both.
