CALLING ALL STAGE I SISTERS

Hey Samsue..................................I got the Vodka...........................Proceed to party................................................yowza, yowza..........................................

Could someone help a poor ludite - I'd LOVE more info on the conference virtual conference! It sounds like fun but I still don't understand how or when or what?

There is a -or used to be- a mermaid festival on Coney Island in June. Do you know if it still happens? THAT would be a FUN FUN event to attend.

My dh is from NYC. He wants to go back. I went there as often as I could for art.

Hahaha who is on first base? K May4 sounds good -I'm leaving Saturday - haven't booked air yet - was trying to decide if I wanted that extra day Sunday but usually good to have the one day home before work- I love NYC love roaming around love eating love the people - you can't really get lost - all are welcome every one of ya! I'll be at my conference at javits the 1-3 then I am free - last year I walked a million miles it seemed and it was so cool - even rode the staten island ferry so I could feel like a native

I was on the ferry when the trade center went down.my friend took me to her house.I know how to get there too.

My bus goes to the Port Authority.Maybe that might be easier.I dont know but where ever Ill find it.I have the 2 days open.Im not the best walker but i do walk more now then i ever did.i will crawl if i have to...

I too can't wait....its gonna be a fun fun day..

Only a few days left til Monday, I see on some other threads that some are having surgs on Valentine Day,mx and some exchanges. I will be getting my bmx with TE. I never not wanted to do something this much. Been crying all day. I think the dr should have given me some Xanax or whatever,definitely will need an antidepressant b4 leaving the hospital. Just a little too late for the vaccine or the cryotherapy or the gummy bears. Should I try to be happy the Halsted days are over? I love former Pres Clinton at least he signed us up to make the insurance pay for reconstruction if we want it. I want it. I've had padded underwire bras digging into my ribs for years so if I can endure the TE for a few months and go on to implants that dont dig into my ribs and maybe even go braless. cant imagine..maybe i can try desperately to find a little lemonade with the lemons. I always had lemon boobs and tried to make them look like orange boobs,maybe PS can set me up with grapefruit boobs. Hope they dont wrinkle or ripple...I feel nauseas thinking about my year ahead. i seriously dont wanna do this but I dont think I have a choice with IDC. hugs to all of you,hope health and rainbows are in your future,you were more than brave. 

Layla,  I hate chemo, but I do love my new boobs.  I went the other way, down in size and I love not wearing a bra if I don't want to.  BC sucks but there are some bright sides like finding such brave, funny souls on these threads that know where you are coming from and don't judge your decisions.  I'm still in treatment too and it will be a long year, but we will come out better and stronger on the other side.

mskassie,
I know there's always room....I'm a newbie last 6 months, and it's like family....(thanks, all)
How are you feeling?  I hope your recovery is going well.  You will find many caring ladies to walk with you on this journey.
Right now, focus on yourself and don't look too far ahead.  
Welcome hug!

Joan

Still not sure if there is a *happening* in NYC or it's a private thing...but wishing you all the funnest of virtual/actual fun! (But I will be soooo jealous if there is a flash mob dance and I don't get info on it too!!!)

Layla, sounds like you might be rushing in??  If you don't have enough info, put on the brakes and wait. From your on-this-site diagnosis, it seems like you may have other options???  If not, well damn, but there will still be sex, drugs (sorry-for cancer), and rock n' roll on the other side. I know I'm counting on it. Whatever your case may be, I'm in your pocket. God Speed. And it will be all right. It will get better. Hang onto to us.

I was told it is not really necesarry to take chemo, but I took already first shot. I am ok so far and waiting for hair to fall off.
I didn't tell to many persons about my sickness and I already took out of my mind my condition. I try to stay positive and some spiritual readings helped me a lot. 

Welcome newbies. I'm really new too but these ladies are awesome! Thanks ladies :-)



I agree with Joan, it's 12 degrees right now with snow on the ground. Great day to lounge!

I hate to rub it in but it is around 67 now since the 'cold front' came htough last night. It will only hit 60 tomorrow. Brrr.

jo, isn't it crazy how Texas can be all different climates depending on what part of Texas you are in.  It was 29 degrees here this morning. Brrrr... after all those 60, 70, & 80 days we are seeing a bit of winter.
