Yes i'm on Facebook my name is Cathy Ringey, I'm in Ferndale, but i must worn you that when i was going through Chemo and could not get out of my chair much, i got hooked on all of those silly games. Hopefully you will know how to block all of the game request. if not let me know i can send directions.

Can you say negative MRI??? So happy, I got the results today. The short version, have been having routine MRIs each year. Last July they noted a spot on the right side (non cancer side) and then went back to 2009 MRI and found it there as well. Negative US and Mammo. Follow up in six months which was Monday (okay a month late), and it is negative. YES!!!
I know most are on Facebook, but I still try to keep my C life a bit separate. Hence the posting here. Had a negative workplace experience while tx for C. 7 years NED although many scares along the way.
Hang in there ladies that are treating. This is an awesome group of ladies from all walks of life. -
Congratulations on the negative MRI! Here's a happy dance
-
Hi Everyone!
Chris - great news on the MRI results. Just had my mammo last month and all's good (knocking on wood).
-
Great news to be proud of Chris - CONGRATS!
Cathy Ringey - Tried to find you on FB no luck.
Irene - That makes two of us for recent mammo - thumbs UP.
-
Fantastic news Chris! Happy for you.
I cannot find Cathy on FB either. But, I really despise the search on FB. What's with the suggested names - "Did you mean George Ringer in California instead"? No, I didn't!!!! How do I stop it from doing that? I'm not misspelling.
I'm hoping Sue will check in soon after her surgery. I'm getting worried about her.
I think I have to pass on our next get-together if it is in April. I'm sorry - just so darn busy this month.
Can get more together for our team in May? It is a very small group this year and I will miss our founding member, Chris!
-
I haven't been able to make it up to now, would love to be able to make the next one. The more time to arrange things the better
-
Yea, yea, Yippee to you Chris!! I've been wondering about the follow up.....just didn't want to ask!
Great news!
I couldn't find you on FB Cathy........I'll try again in a bit.
-
Sorry you are having a hard time finding me try Cathy Leavitt Ringey that should work. Sorry i forgot how i was listed. But i forget many things these days LOL. Now i play a lot of those silly games got hooked when i was on chemo and couldn't move around much.
Great news Chris, I think i due for a PET scan next month...........i'm hoping for great news too!

So weird, a Komen walk in Detroit that was neither too cold, too wet, or too hot!
If the rapture were going to be tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised.

Wow, it's been a while since I've visited this thread....and I see I'm not the only one ; ) Just wanted to check in with all the ladies in Michigan...I hope everyone is doing well. I'm doing ok and am now 3 years out from my 2nd bc...it's been rough, mostly mentally, but so far so good. Hugs to you all,
Judy B.

Hi everyone,
Just got a 'reminder' about the Detroit walk and wondered if anyone was going to be walking this year. I really missed participating last year but we were just returning from Spain that day. My thoughts have been with you all even though I haven't been on the board. Had a nasty episode with an obstructed bowel several weeks ago that landed me a week in the hospital. Sure brought up quite a few feeling laying there in the hospital with IV's & blood pressure cuffs in and on the arms that one is told not to have anything on due to the possibility of lymphedema. Just had to do lots of praying. Now I'm working on trying to gain back the 7 lbs. I lost that I REALLY didn't need to. 90 lbs does not look as good on me at 60 as it did at 18, lol. Let me know about the walk. I don't think I would do it by myself, it was fun with the group although I do find myself getting more and more panicky in the crowds. You wouldn't think a person could be claustrophobic outside but somehow, I manage it quite well. I would be willing to drive again if we meet at the Meijer at Middlebelt & 96 in Livonia. I hope everyone is doing well. I didn't have the time right now to read back any pages, still working with the foster/rescue kitties and am bottle feeding 3 babies, but when I get a minute, will try to catch-up with everyone. Blessings to all.

Judy congrats on 3 years out! Your 2nd diagnosis is simular to mine. So sorry you had to hear the news twice. I am starting radiation in May sometime. So glad to have 4 dd A/C and 12 Taxol's behind me
I am walking with my team in the Susan G Komen this Sunday in Lansing.
sunkistmi~ I have to figure out what to do with new kittens that are living on my deck.(they are 3 weeks old) Mama cat has been around for two winters, I've been feeding her. She lets me pet her now, so my plan is to get her fixed asap, not sure how old the kittens can be with out her though.
It's a beautiful sunny cold day here in Michigan!

Ladies, You have to look up Grass Lakes Sanctuary Women's Wellness Retreats. It's for cancer survivors and they offer scholarships so it can be free of charge. I just came back from one of these retreats and it was HUGE! I am changed. I am whole. I am now doing my best healing ever. And it was FUN!
-
Hi everyone. How goes it? I think with FB, most of us no longer come here. However, with the recent posting I was reminded or all of my good friends here. Hope everyone is well.
-
Congratulations on your success. Eight years out is looking pretty good. Thanks for posting. we love to hear success stories.
What was your diagnosis and treatment way back then?
-
I would love to connect with you gals on FB, I know it was mentioned a very long time ago here. I am Valerie Jean on FB. (my avatar is a little girl viewed from the back)
Want to friend me?
I don't get to see you gals, most of you live near the big D or further out. Remember I did attend the one luncheon in Williamston with you all. That was very nice & nice to meet up with BCO sisters. If I remember correctly, I met you Not_Me and ICanDoThis, Suzwes, Neesie, Sphynx, Winggirl2, and Carollynn79.
A warm hello to everyone!
-
Where do you live?
-
I'm in Ann Arbor, but I would love to meet-up with others when it is possible.
-
infobabe ~ I'm in Owosso.
-
Testing......took me awhile but I found us. Have not been here in ages. Hello anyone else here?
-
To Funny Bonnie.......I was testing the grounds myself! Had no idea what my password was..but guessed good!
-
Hello, Michiganders
Just stoppin' in to say hello. Hope everyone is well.
-
Hi everyone...I am back as well. I am currently signed in as Not-Me but also have gone by Not_Me in the past. Had a reoccurence as some of you know. Just received my "Cancer Sucks" t-shirt in the mail today. Hugs.
-
Hi Michigan girls! Didn't know this thread existed and I see that it's an old established group of support so I won't butt in. Just thought I'd say hello. I'm a little north of Rochester and loving the sunshine today!
-
Hello Dulcigirl...welcome to the group! No butting in, we are here for each other. The group slowed down as Facebook evolved. But I am back here needing support. I see from your dx, that I am following your footsteps. Who is your PS? How is the healing?
-
Dr. Michael Meininger in Troy. He is excellent and his office staff is fantastic. I would happily recommend them to anyone!
I'm so sorry you're facing this again, but it sure looks like you caught it early again!
I'm getting there. Still have two spots that are sore after a long day, but it's just over 3 weeks. Swelling is going away and I'm adjusting emotionally. Implants are much better than TE's!!!
