2013 Survivors!!!

Way to go Chrisrenee.....see, a dash of guilt goes a long way....lol

Mcook, I have had cortisone injections in my hip. They numb you first and feels pretty good right after. Then I go through an achey phase. Then it feels better. Takes about a week, for me to go through the phases. Don't try to do anything ambitious when it feels good or you will pay for it around day 3. As far as the LE - I had some trigger point injections in my neck and shoulder and it didn't affect my truncal LE. But that is not saying it won't happen. If it does, get to your LE therapist to take care of it quickly.

Ha! I feel guilty hearing that everyone is on their bitch! I just rolled in from work and can't muster the energy tonight. But you guys have motivated me to do some stretches And strength things:) maybe some day the back of my arms won't continue to keep jiggling like jello!



Keep it up ladies! Short weather is coming up and last year we spent out summers dealing w treatments etc time to have some fun!

She was half in the bag when I got there so I threw the rest of her in!

Tazzy, you are officially excused as long as there was no beer involved with dinner...hehehe

Well Ladies have a fabulous night and thanks to all you who commented and gave advice about my shoulder on going issue:) I am heading to Iowa tomorrow to give some talks at the state capital .. Dam some times it feels good to be back at work and feel some normalcy but then again how I am going to answer all the questions about my hair and absences to the group I will be working with will be a little challenge tomorrow. Guess I will just be honest might make some uncomfortable but oh well I am still just me but better:)

How about Pink's "Blow me one more kiss" Love the lyrics "I've had a sh..t day etc etc.

So excited! Just got one if those genetic post cards after my first mammogram since surgery May 1st. It said my mammogram showed no signs of Breast Cancer. That made my day and had to share my great news!

I traded the Beast for a movie and popcorn today. Tomorrow I will walk twice as long. Tonight I celebrate!

Believe- thats great about the mammogram.

Guess we should join the group by celebrating with the latest in diet beverages!

(Sorry Chrisrenee- I couldn't resist-lol)

believe- congrats on great news today. I'd drink a beer for you but Scottie will be on my behind again.

Scottie- I will be thinking about you wednesday during your results. We'll drink a beer for you too!

I have thoroughly enjoyed catching up on this thread this evening.

I have also learned that I better be careful what I post on other threads

Believe - congratulations

McCook - have a great trip and good luck with the cortisone shot, I hope it provides some relief for you

Scottie - can't wait to celebrate with you on Wednesday - and it won't be with a celery stick

Tazzy - do you get a day off tomorrow or are you back to every day this week?



I saw my oncologist today, passed my MUGA scan, failed my hemoglobin test - glad it was the hemoglobin and not heart that was causing my tiredness and shortness of breath, she says it will take about three months before it returns to normal. She wants me to start my tamoxifen this evening, a little apprehensive but I will do it. Maybe I should have a beer for courage? What do you think, Scottie?

Went to an information gathering evening tonight for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - met some amazing ladies, very thought provoking evening, lots of good discussions, glad I went.

Goodnight everyone

OMG I am Irish Catholic by background and therefore have an eternal need to confess. I just stated on another thread I was having a glass of wine to unwind after a School Board meeting. I am on the board, so sometimes the meetings are stressful. Scottie, I now know that eyes are on us always; am putting down wine glass and making chamomile tea:) nite all!

Websister so glad your heart is ok. Hope you have no se's from the tamoxifen.I was apprehensive about starting my al but thankgoodness no se's. (well maybe a little insomnia which is why I'm on here at 3:00am lol) But now I do feel good about taking it as a preventative .

Blessings Welcome.So glad you found us. We could use a living barometer on this thread!

Cowpower good thing you fessed up! It's better to fess up before you're caught lol

Liefie Good luck with all your Drs appts. It's nice  when you get those little longer breaks in between visits now isn't it; almost makes you feel normal. Geez though sounds like you've been behaving diet and exercise wise- You're not hiding anything on the other threads are you because if you are, you better fess up now like Cowpower before  "someone"  finds out! Lol

Scottie, absolution feels wonderful. I will try and stop hanging aroun on other threads and stay on the straight and narrow. I will be there with you for results, and I will bring you chocolate.



Websister, so glad about your MUGA results. They are a nerve wracking wait for results. Glad it was a fixable issue. Looks like you might need more spinach in those smoothies- just dont forget to draw the curtains if its really early:)

Forgot how bad sugar/carb withdrawls are...don't cross me today... you will get a surprise.. this nice nice Grammie might not be so nice...
