    Hi there,

     I just came across your post.  I'm sorry no one has seen it.  Looks like you posted last summer.  I just joined in September.

    I live in Sunriver OR (and part-time in Redmond, WA) and would like to chat sometime.  You can PM me and we can figure out logistics.

    Hi Esther!  Gardengumby and I were talking earlier today about putting together a get together for NW friends sometime after the first of the year.  There is a bunch of us in Western OR, WA and BC.

    Welcome fish.  Hope you stick around and get acquainted.  You will find BCO to be a wonderful place to make friends and help with questions you have about our mutual problems and issues.

    Finally found the thread...  :)

    We've so far been chatting about maybe sometime early next year (2013) - I don't know where a good "central" place is, but Chabba said she could get as far as Olympia, but probably no further.  How would that work for everyone else?

    A long lunch??? 

    I still work regularly, so either weekend day would be best as far as I'm concerned.

    Saturday is best for me.  Sunday I volunteer with Breakfast at the Senior Center.  I am not able to as much as I used to (I've been doing it since we opened in January 1994) but even the other volunteers who take up the slack get upset if I'm not there.

    Saturdays work for me too - I can take my computer job anywhere but I will probably have to make that a 3 day trip - Don't do well with all the meds and driving that far... As I said in the beginning though - I have kids in Battleground, WA and Portland, OR.

    Dianne - Glad to see you, and do hope we can get together.  I would love to meet you in and the others here in person.  I'm making a list so we can be sure any interested parties are included in planning.

    Hello girls, im near the Calif border, id love to meet up!! I have to tell you last April, i meet up with 12 ladies, our thread is (June chemo 2010) we all met in Florida,2 years after Our DX. we are from all over the US, plus one in Israel, and one in Canada.. We got each other through. About 150 pages in our thread. We stuck together!! How much fun it was to have got together!! We plan a Vegas trip in May, and every year after that.. Nothing better then having women that know what im going through and thinking!!

    Its so neat to have something like this so close to home, and we all have BCO. What an amazing web site!! :)

    Im hoping your all well,

    Btw

    GMA FOLEY, we almost took a job transfer to Rosenberg with UPS :) not too long ago :)

    Hi Ladies, I just saw this thread - I'm in the Eugene area, and am definitely up for a get-together.  I work weekdays, so a weekend would be my preference.

    Wow, I posted this way back in July of 2011! It has just now fired up at the end of 2012.. Thanks SoCalLisa... This is overwhelming for me.. I was starting to think there were no Ladies on the west coast... Nice to know we might be getting all together After the holidays.. We just have to figure out where...

    OK.  Sounds like we've settled on a Saturday...  :)

    So now, as GMA says - where?  We mentioned Olympia earlier.  Will Olympia work for everyone?

    Esther, glad you don't mind that we hijacked your topic!  Wink

    This is getting exciting!  Over a dozen of us now.  Olympia seems to be the consensus so far which is fine with me as for me it is the easiest to get to.

    May I join in? Saturday works for me as does Olympia. I have grandchildren in Hood River Or, so am down that way fairly often.
