    I tried, too, Heidi, but could not access.  Could it be because I wasn't facebook friends?

    No access for me...I do not have a facebook account so I couldnt log in.  Thank you Heidi for getting things going in memory of LJ.  The bench is a great idea.  I will be happy to contibute as soon as we get the go ahead.

    Sarah, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your mother and letting us know what happened.  She was a real Peach.  She will not be forgotten.

    Welcome to the newbies.

    I must say that I enjoyed all the football chat.  Sounds like we may have a very interesting season here on the TN thread!  I am looking forward to it.

    Go Packers!

    Edited to add: my avatar is a photo of me and navyson at a Packers away game(notice yellow and green clothing) in Jacksonville, FL one month before he had to leave for boot camp....never thought he would be eventually stationed in Jacksonville!   Life takes funny turns...

    A few pages back a few mentioned the Red Lobster Biscuits.  I make them at home.  Very yummy and pretty close to the original.  Recipe was given to me by my DIL

    Mix together:

    2 cups Bisquick

    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

    3/4 cup milk

    Drop by tablespoon onto cookie sheet that has been sprayed with pam.  Bake 400 degrees for around 10 minutes..bottoms should be browned

    Melt 1 stck of butter with 1/4 tsp garlic powder.  Brush on hot biscuits.  Makes 16 to 18 biscuits.

    Oh no! A Giant's fan and a Packer's fan!  I'll try and be tolerant.Wink  We actually know alot of Packer fans.  My hubby's company he works for has a sister company in Milwaukee. I still haven't quite forgiven my beloved Pats yet. All my shirts are still at the bottom of the drawer!

    Done with my tests.....now just waiting.  Maybe I'll make the biscuits while I'm waiting.  I have actually never been to a Red Lobster, so I've never tried them. They sound yummy.

    Bad news about MBJ - Just saw on another thread that she had passed last night.  Here is her husband's blog.  Again, I'm just passing on what I just read.

    My heart is breaking again, as I know all of yours will be.

    Hugs to all,

    Dear God!! This was just too fast. I am in complete shock this happened so soon.

    Dearest Mary- I will miss you so. You were such a wealth of information and help for us all. My heart is breaking, but I am glad you are free from the pain. I hope you are in heaven with Laurajane and Susan having a good ole time!

    My sincere condolences to her husband and extended family.

    I am in shock and very sad, too.  I had hoped that she would start doing well as she had written on another thread that she was feeling better last week. I send my heartfelt sympathy to her husband and family.

    NO, NO, NO!!!!!

    I HATE CANCER!!!

    I just do not know what else to say.  How can we lose 3 wonderful ladies in 2 weeks?

    I have just read about this all in the last 24 hrs. 

    I am dealing with my own mets issues right now and did not read the forums for a  while.

    I have had a bone scan, PET scan, liver bx and started chemo again in the past 3 weeks.  I am not ready to give in or give up, but some days I am so tired that driving home from work means a 2 hour nap before dinner.  Luckily DH likes to cook.  

    I know that I am rambling so I will stop for now.

    Becca- I am glad to see you post. It has been a terrible six days on the thread. I pray we have some more positive things happen soon.

    I must admit, the ONLY thing I miss about chemo is taking naps while the hubby cooked and cleaned!!

    I hope you are holding up and that the chemo does it's job! Big hugs!!

    One thing I can say about this disease: it kills fast. Yes, these women were all stage 4, but so many who have passed of BC seem to be up and about and then gone 48 hours lately. So, even though many knew the end was near, in a sense, they didn't see it coming. I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse. FWIW

    I came in here to give an update on our thoughts wrt LJ's  bench (or whatever it turns out to be). Can't do it now... maybe in a day or so.

    Heidi, I think that is a blessing.  At least less suffering, right?  I liked reading your post, it gave me a little peace knowing that if it were to happen to me, I would like to go fast.  I have to check MBJ's profile to see what date she actually moved and then wrote to us about her recurrence.  From that date till now, it has hardly been a few months, right?  But she did have that frozen shoulder for at least 8 months prior to that.  Apart from these two things, I don't think she was suffering.  I am wondering if she was working or was she on disability? Honestly, this forum here has made me so strong now that I can face my own situation if it comes down to that.  Knowing that this disease is a killer, that is why we feel so anxious and scared hearing our results.  if the results are not good, then maybe at that point I can calm down and face it.  The worst part is hearing the results of your scans.

    Honestly, if I had not come here, I would have been devastated to learn of things every step of the way.  I think it is better to just go ahead, know everything about it, plan your lives, and be prepared.  Prepare your family too.  Life is just like that, man, yes, it is just like that!

    beccad, honey, everyone's destiny is different.  I hope these deaths do not bring everyone really down.  Each case is different, each tumor is different.

    I opened each URL that I found on Laura, Suze and Mary.  I looked at all the 3 pictures.  Each and every one of these 3 women were just so physically beautiful. They all seemed not to have any weight issues and had beautiful faces, especially since they were so young.  I wish I could post the pictures here, but am unable to, not sure why I can't cut and paste here.

    Lovelyface - I agree with you that knowing what to expect is a godsend.  But as for the speed of this disease, it's so all over the place.  I was a manager and had a beautiful woman who worked for me...she was stage IV for almost 20 years, and then she had brain mets.  It still took a year before she passed.  And then you have someone who is gone in a matter of weeks or days.  You just never know.  And they may very well have seen it coming but didn't want to share quite that much.

    I was on vacation and stayed away from comments on this discussion.  I am shocked and saddened at the loss of 3 of our own, what seems like so quickly.  So sad.

    I had my consult with my DIEP surgeon today - will schedule my surgery for early August.  I can't wait to get reconstruction over and done with.  These breast forms are a pain.

    I am feeling the same things as the rest of the group.  Total and utter disbelief and a loss for words.  I don't want to believe this.  It is so NOT fair.  All of these women were just... so helpful... so kind... so full of life!

    However - All three of these women would be the first to tell all of us NOT to lose hope.  To enjoy our day.  To find and do something wonderful with the time we have been blessed with.  Each of them would be telling us NOT to sit here, but to get out and ENJOY the things TODAY.  That's the only way I know to honor what each of them stood for, and to give tribute.  

    I don't want those who are just joining us to be so down in despair by all of this that they lose hope and become deeply depressed.  Yes, triple negative is very agressive.  Yes, it can kill.  But it can also be beaten and thousands of triple negative women around the world can attest to this.  They've lived with it and through it and bunches are well beyond the 10 and 20 yr mark.  Chemo is the best thing to fight our cancer, but so is outlook, attitude, diet, exercise, and more.

    There's no way to wrap our heads around what has just happened within the last FIVE days.. yes, FIVE.  Each of these women touched every one of us and I wish to God they were still here.  We need a CURE!  I don't want to lose any more of you!  Yes, I feel like screaming!  

    I urge each of you to take a break from the forum if you feel the need.  It honestly does help and it's not that you are deserting anyone.  Sometimes we just need to get out there and remember what it's like to live.  I don't do a lot of posting here, and I hadn't been checking in regularly until I heard so many of our friends were not doing well.  Being a nurse aide, I can tell you it is true - death comes in 3's.  There are 3 more angels keeping tabs on all of us, so we better enjoy the day we have before us and pass on all the positivity they embraced.
