Calling all TNs

Kathy - Didn't I mention that I sent the weight loss fairy to your house after she abandoned me?  LOL!  Seriously, I hope everything is OK tomorrow!  I wondered what was going on - sorry to hear your mom was in the hospital.  I noticed with my mom that any trauma - an illness, hospitalization, this recent move, sets her back significantly.  I hope your mom recovers some of her lost capacity.  And my treatment is going very well, thank you.  I have an appointment this Friday, then in two weeks (10/5) I'll have the big "show and tell" - the CAT scan that will indicate if ARQ 197 is a TNBC magic bullet. 

Ladies. Haven't posted in a while. Just tried to catch up a bit.

((( Inmate ))) praying the dads wipe out the brain mets and you get back on the trial. Add me to your list of stalkers. I think of you daily



Michelle hope the trial is going good for you.



Hi to everyone else. I miss everyone but my anxiety is so bad I need to stay off the boards a bit more. Husband and dogs have made it up to PA and we are trying to settle in. Hubby still looking for work, it will come. Had my port out on Monday and have genetic testing appt in oct to look forward too.

Chemo. round 3 was 9/11. Last night got WHOLE nights rest and feel human today for the first time in a week plus.

Nanatwo6. Find out if you can do the chemo. First.

Cocker - Here you go - {{{HUG}}}

and to anyone else who needs one, too.

Hello everyone -  I've been reading and not feeling like responding lately.  Dawn's news of her mets put me in a funk.  It seems to me this thread has been quieter for a while too.  It's hard to joke around when our sister is hurting.  I feel like some of my friends must have felt when they visited (or didn't) while I was in treatment: don't know what to say.  My bad.

I've been keeping my hands and mind busy making those little quilts for the kids camp.  I have about 25 quilts in various states of being.  Some finished, some almost finished, some cut out to sew, others in the planning stage.  I'm finding it very therapeudic to be clearing out my fabric supply, knowing it might help some child who is probably worse off than I am.

So for Dawn, Luv, Desert Mom, Kathryn, the newbies, I send the softest, most comforting hugs and good wishes I possibly can.  Please remember we care for your well-being.

For Annie - I hope all your typing is going better each day.

NavyMom - Were you able to get the turtle pattern?

Wrenwood - I hope we are still on for October.

It's nearly October........prepare to duck, the pink ribbons will soon be flying over your neighborhood.

Love and joy to all,  Jan

Seems to me we could all use a squeeze.

GROUP HUG!!!    (((((   )))))

FernMF, Just gotta tell ya,  Your typo in your post made me chuckle.  "Do the chemist first"   Yep, my mind went in the gutter and was hoping for Nanatwo6 that the "Chemist" was good looking!  

I want in too...{{{{HUGS}}}} to my loves!  I think of all of you each and every day.

got some GOOD news today and thought I would share.  I am going to NOLA on Nov 1st for my new "girls"  I cannot believe it took a year to get em back.  I am feeling happy, scared excited and everything else I could possibly feel.  I go for my 3 month follow up and 6 month pet scan in October so the only thing that would stop this was if something shows up--that just is not going to happen...but for now I am good to go!

Dawn:  Dropping by to remind you that love, prayers, good wishes and deeply felt thoughts are always being sent out to you.  Holding you close to my heart; and

LUV - all the same to you as well.  I too hope this is the magic bullet for you.

To all - wishing those that are going through rough patches in their lives, a bright and sunny outcome as soon as possible and to those chugging along trying to find that "new normal" we all are trying so hard to maintain - keep on keeping on.

Hugs and warm thoughts to you all,

Linda

Kath I knew you had sneaked off there . You little ......  

Heidi, thank you so much for the pic of Brady and Gisele! Put a big smile on my face- I just want to pick them up and snuggle them.   My childhood dog was a Boston and I am extremely partial to their smooshed in lil faces. My current boy is a 100lb Lab/Mastiff mix and is probably the world's best dog, but he doesn't exactly fit in my lap. The hilarious thing is, if I sit on the floor he will immediately come over and park his big ol' butt in my lap every time. 

Oh crap, now I got sidetracked and already forgot the list of names I wanted to mention- damn chemo brain. I know I will forget something important now. Ok, group hug everyone.  

Kathy, fingers crossed it is the "good" kind of weight loss.

Luv, I am praying for your magic bullet.

Mags, just hurray!

Fern, I know what you mean; I had my first round of taxol on 9/11 and it kinda freaked me out. I lived in Manhattan and my husband was in Tower 1 on 9/11- it is always a really hard day for me.

EnglishRose, glad they think it is just scar tissue! If you still feel very worried, then ask to see your doctor before the next scheduled appt. to put your mind at ease. I saw my surgeon yesterday and she also felt that my lump was likely scar tissue. She did an ultrasound on it and saw no increased blood flow to the area, measured it for future reference, and I will just keep an eye on it for a bit, but I no longer feel worried.

NavyMom - now you have me really laughing! The fact that "do the chemist" flew right over my head tells you that it's been way to long a dry stretch for me!!!!!



Been up for 24 hrs. Mom back in the hospital with pneumonia. (Hasn't been out a week!!!). And yes Cocker, she has forbidden me to go to the casino. Says that's how she caught it, despite the fact that I'm not sick and the doctor told her she probably caught it in the hospital.



Cocker - just popped in because I forgot to vote. Yank those suckers out. You don't need them now, and it would be a shame to be a breast CA survivor and get hit with ovarian cancer.

Morning ladies.



Heidi, that pic is adorable!

I need in on the group hug too! (((HUGS)))



Having a not so great week in terms of anxiety. Port removed on Monday (yay). Wed was appt with primary and all we did was chat about my "high" risk and last night had a horrible dream about BC.



Hope everyone is doing well

Heather, what do you mean by *high risk*
