Starting Chemo in July 2009

Thanks Sheila, I am hoping all are well in the time frame that most us where diagnosised. Today is 3 years for me and HOORAY. from the time that they told me I had cancer. I am now getting to realize that time is precious and all on this board helped me more than most. Thank you and keep fighting  Hugs Dianne

Hi Dianne, Wow, yes 3 years ago & almost the end of the month already.  Time flies quicker now than 3 years ago.

FYI-I've posted on other threads that my eyebrows never came back in after chemo very good & the ones that did are pale white, so on July 3rd, I got my eyebrows tattooed,  Lovin' them!  If any of you are faced with the same dilemma you should consider it.    

Have a summer!  Joni 

I finished my recon 3 weeks ago, getting nipple/areola tattoos. It took me 2 years and 3 months after treatment to finally complete it. So worth it, and very happy with results. Only dealing with s/e's from Femara and a few aches & pains that I am getting an MRI for next week. Doing well!! My first grandbaby just arrived on Thursday, so really enjoying that!! joni1

Remembering and Missing Lisa........♥

Merry Christmas to all the Jedi's!!! Hope all have a wonderful season with family and friends! May God continue to bless us all! Hugs!

Yes, A VERY Happy, and Healthy New Year to all!!!

Happy New Year...♥

Hello everyone , Hope everyone is having a great new year.   Happy Valentines day i have been thinking about everyone lately. Had a good friend die of a brain tumor this week. It strikes to close to home for me. She started out with ovarian cancer. over 4 year ago.   Seems like alot of people get to that stage and then bam.   Just wondering how you were all doing.  Sounds like everyone is great.   Sorry for the sad rant   but you all understand.   Hugs Dianne

Hi Joni and Dianne - sorry about your friend. It is hard to take.

Thanks for the kind words. Question for all, last week I was in 2 near fatal car wrecks. Walked away.i have been wondering again about my purpose in life.   Was just wondering what others think and what they are doing.   Have a great Easter   Dianne

Thanks for doing that Sheila!  Hard to believe she's been gone 2 years already.

& it was Mother's Day that year.  Are you keeping up with her daughter, Tina, on FB?  She & her husband are expecting a baby boy soon. 

Hi Gilly!  How's it going ?

Hi Sheila

Hi Joni - all is well here. Our eldest son is now in California and we are thinking of driving down in June, but it is unlikely we will be in your neighborhood. And next week I am off to England on my own for a couple of weeks. No sightseeing - visiting family and friends.

Well, here we are Jedi's....4 years!! Hope you ladies are all well! Please chec in and give us an update:)



I'm doing great...still have 18 months left on Femara. I DO hate this drug and the effects on me. Still checking in with my Onc every 6 months, and after bilateral DIEP, have an MRI every 1-2 years . So far, so good!

On the upside, I joined the YMCA this year, participated in a 12 week Livestrong at the Y event, then just completed a 2 month Biggest Loser type competition there. There were 22 teams of 2 competing. My friend, who is also a bc survivor, and I lost 44 lbs and came in 3rd place!!



I can't post here without feeling Lisa's presence, it seems. She will always be missed.



Happy Independence Day......Hugs, Joni
