Ottawa ladies?

Dragonfly and caro- my surgeon was Lorimer , he is gd

Hi ladies!

Sorry I've been away...just one of those weeks feeling down and frustrated.... Actually considering a good change perhaps ,moving to arnprior, but everyone in my family got all upset about it....I don't think anyone understand what I have gone through....it's very hard to see how everyone else have great jobs, kids, moving forward with their lives and I feel stuck here! I'm sorry but I need to vent this out....I know arnprior is far but I just wanted change...I think what hurts the most is that they only care about how far it will be for them...I knw they want us close to them but for me it's hard to see everyone else have kids and I'll never be able to do that...my parents are great about its just everyone else....

I don't know what to do. In one hand I want to move and screw what ppl think but in the other I don't want them to think I don't care bring far from them and the driving my husband will have to do to work....

For the ladies starting this journey, I'm sorry you ad to join this club but this place is great because we know how we feel we can understand the impact this does to all of us. Our families may see it but cannot get it! We all cope with this differently, I though I was ok but I've been going down hill emotionally don't know why



Thanks for letting me vent out

Ladybug -  I also had Dr Chadwick…and yes he is great!! And no, he doesn't much care for Dr Guay. Will you be able to go for lunch on Sunday?

I've gone back over posts to try to figure out who all the Ottawa ladies are…here's a list. Hoping as many as possible can come for lunch. Hope I didn't miss anyone. 

Caro - I can't say for sure if I can come yet but definitely am hoping to be there so put me down as 'tentative, but hopeful'. 

Mich, Redninrah, Caro, Dragonfly (Sandi), Michele, Sharon, Coni, llm005, Ladybug, Chili, NannaBaby, Forever_mummy, maureens

Caro46- how is arnprior? How bad is the traveling from there into Ottawa? Specially in winter? ... I think that's the only thing that worries me, will be the travelling and gas we will spend lol I'm in stittsville so is like an extra 20 min.... And his family lives in Orleans so that's why they are complaining! And I'm not moving there!!!!

I wt be able to make it, my hubby travels for work and he is leaving Sunday for trinidad for 3 days. I also have to take my daughter to a birthday party that day.



If anyone wants to meet me for lunch in Bayshore next week 12:30 pm on a Tuesday or Thursday - I wud be up for it.

Sorry I work odd times and on Saturdays and so on Sunday's I really like to spend time with my daughters.



Have fun girls on Sunday and one day I will meet u all

Nin thanks! I still have to come see ya!:)

Dragonfly55 thanks! We went Im in love with this house on Arthur rd. it's from the same builder that built our hometown they are great, waiting on our real state agent to see if is good to invest there like of is easy to sell the house and of the value of the house will go up, cause someone was like" move there if u wanna loose money on the house if u r prepared to loose money then buy there!" really pissed me off but at the same time scared a bit lol. I think I just want a change u know, I need to love out of my house just brings back bad memories..

The other thing that bugs me is the traveling, but I love that house is kind of like my dream home! If only I could pick it up and move it somewhere else lol

My BS is Dr. Chadwick as well.  Awesome doc! He didn't like the DIEP idea for me either...  Even tho I had radiation, he thinks implants would be the least invasive.  Which makes huge sense to me!  A tummy tuck would be nice, but I don't want a huge scar on my belly.  I like my belly.  It's giggly, but flat-ish.  I wouldn't mind having scars on my back tho... If I need more skin, I would consider the back flap technique along with an implant.

I would love to join you ladies for brunch, but I need to get ready to go to Vancouver.  Shopping for gifts... I am going to Vancouver next week sometime, still have to change my ticket.  I was going Dec. 2 but now my sister wants me there sooner.

CONI - come live in the south end Lots of room for dogs and less expensive houses Easy commute, barely any traffic!

So just want to make sure....Mother Tuckers at 1:00.  I hope to make it on time.  Save me a seat.

Mother Tuckers at 1. I'll be there.

Sorry some of you ladies coldn't make it..It was nice to put a face to Carol and Sandi..perhaps next time.

Whatashock...been down that path, and I'm 45.  Some of us on this thread have been there and some are going through it.  We are here for ya.

Hi,  well, i started this path at 46 so, not too far off the mark.   good luck with everything Whatashock.. this is a great place to gather info and unload.   

 DH put up the xmas lights on the weekend.. should even get some snow tonight to make them look nice.

 So had my follow-up  appt today...  results from mammo and ultrasound and bone-scan all good ! yay!    I figured as much, the doc at breast ultrasound had already indicated  it looked good, the rest i wasn't sure, but still think i was a bit nervous this morning...  One more test to go ( abdominal CT on Dec 6 to figure out what's going on with right side abdominal pain.. pelvic ultrasound came back normal as well, so can rule out a couple things there, whew.. still i would really, really like to know what's going on once and for all)  Anyway, after that hoping for a nice break from tests and dr's appts... at least for another 3 months at least. 

 hope everyone is well.
