    Good luck today eema!  I know you are nervous.  I would be too.  Scans are terrifying.  Almost over.

    I love you ladies.  You are all sillies, my appointment is 1:30.  I should be grading, instead I just drank coffee, read about adolescent melanoma and recurrance, and tried to go shopping.  I think I'll take a nice hot shower instead.  I will have to go to school eventually.  Class @ 4:35.  Already told them we are watching a movie related to the topic of the course.

    LOL!  Stick in a movie!!!  :)  I'm up at my campus library right now--wishing these 2 retirees would go somewhere else to complain.  No more reading!  It's bad for you.  :) xoxoxo

    Profbee, biz comm, and we are going to watch Up in the Air if I can get a student to go get it for me from the campus library.  Thank G-d it relates (and I haven't seen it, what a HORRIBLE prof, just taking my students word for it).

    I wrote a long reply, and then couldn't get online at the library for some reason.  ugh!  The squishies are better than the TEs, but still not ME.  I am not as thrilled as others seem to be.  Maybe after I get my nips done in May--I don't know.  The worst part is having to wear a bra 24/7 for months.  ugh.

    As my friend put it when I texted her I had cancer  WTF - I am so sorry you have to go through this!!

    Wait and see if it grows - are they nuts!!!  Think one would need more than an Ativan to do that.  They should try it!!! Stupid suggestion.  Hope they can get you in VERY soon.

    Eema- Fuck! I use guided imagery to find peace in my mind. Guided imagery has been found in many studies to help those with cancer boost their immune system and fight cancer.  A guided imagery cancer tool - will 1) Help you to heal your body of cancer by facilitating the release of harmful toxic emotions that cause your normal body cells to mutate and become cancerous, 2) Help you to heal your body of cancer by significantly lowering stress hormone cortisol levels that suppress immune system function, and 3) Help you to heal your body of cancer by boosting your immune system and destroying cancer cells using powerful guided imagery suggestions. Think positive, you are strong and healthy!

    Eema - OK, the key word is 'suspected', that means they don't really know but are saying 'suspected' in order to cover their ass.  Definitely get the biopsy, you don't need the stress waiting to see if there is a change in a few months when there might not be a change, and then you will still be wondering.  {{{HUGS}}}

    Eema, my heart goes out to you! I know we got off on the wrong foot, but I've been thinking of you and was hoping you would get the same news as Kiwimum. I hate cancer!!  It sucks so bad!!  I  know that waiting is sometimes the hardest part.  I say take an Ativan or two if that's what you need to get thru!  Saying a healing prayer for you!  Hope you get a quick appointment for the biopsy.  Thinking of you and sending love your way!!

    Eema, I am adding you to my noon prayers.  It's something we are doing for the retreat I'm teaming on in April.  We've all set our phone alarms to noon - since the day can get so hectic.  So everyday at noon know that I am praying for you and sending you positive energy, good mojo, reverse voodoo, I dunno - just all good stuff,  whatever I can do for you.

    Lisa, yes the chemo fog was that bad.  Spelling was impossible for a while, remember where I put stuff was crazy....but on the flip side, 1 year ago on valentine's day I was getting my last infusion!  today I actually was able to blow dry and style my hair.  My boss' wife came in today - she hadn't seen me in about a year - she's talking a mile a minute then says, I like your hair, keeps talking, and I say I HAVE HAIR - and her eyes get huge and she says, No Shit! We couldn't stop laughing!
