    Teka .. congrats on this milestone.... Have a toast to many more years.

    Shambles  ... it is a journey ... good and bad days ...  I do better with the known and obsess over the unknown ... but to each her own.  I have felt PO'd about the whole thing the last couple of weeks.  Coupled with some bad news from a couple of people I know ... it has made me lose some of my sense of humour.  The ladies around here pick me up, accept my bad news and best of all make me laugh!  Don't appoligize for anything you say about yourself or your journey here.  We are an accepting bunch ... our only rule here has been to play nice with others ... I know you are new but there are some other threads where a few don't.  Just know it is safe on here.

    Cami, FLwarrior, Markat, thanks for the good thoughts.  Off to gyn surgery follow-up today... wow I lead an exciting life these days.

    Jane u go to more follow ups than a rodeo rider--what ever that means.I hope it's all good.  Isn't anyone hating going to Drs.? I don't know why I feel this way lately--I have to go to 2 tomorrow and I dread every minute of it--I'm so tired of them and u know I tell them and I wonder why they don't like me. Oh well so what else is new? It's all crap and it desn't want to leave u alone---Again sorry I hate  leaving home and having to put on a hppy face, well I don't put make-up on for them so I have to at least act happy hahaha.

    Teka-- congratulations on 3 years!  Milestone definitely to be celebrated. 

    bgirl--hope your follow-up went well and you feel better.  Surgery is never fun.  (Had a student miss school, and on returning she announced she'd had surgery.  Turns out she was conked on the head by a brother-tossed tv remote, and had to have two whole stitches...)

    Camille--I'm right there with you with the dr opinion.  Just flat tired mostly.  I guess we all treasure our days away from it all.  Hope you get a good report.

    Bgirl, hope the appt went well! Continued good thoughts your way!


    Camille, I hate the doc too. I'm just currently on my 3 month reprieve. Well, except to get my meds.


    Skittle, poor kid! Not sure if a whole day off was needed but probably with the nature of the attack. Hope you're enjoying your day off!

    I've finally gotten all the christmas stuff down. Darn dog chewed up DD1's new headbands from Justice (not cheap). So we've been dealing with dramatic outburst all day. Do girls suddenly morph into drama queens when they turn 9?



    Seriously Skittle, I don't know how you deal with 30 of these little humans every day :)

    Oh Markat girls used to start around 11 at least, but times have changed---I remember always wanting just girls and I had 2---teen girls are horrible--Teen boys don't seem to have all that drama inside of them, plus the mood thing like girls--since I only had girls I could be wrong, but I'm not LOL Oh markat I'm on 3 months with my Onc now too, but now I have all these other Drs. involved with me--they started it, I didn't these stupid SE's are all over the place .

    The wind chill her is -10 below---real winter here.

    Hi Shambles-welcome to the group. This is a great thread to share safely. I wanted to find a place to talk to people going through bc since I am going through a lot of this alone too. Told a core group of people where I live and a few folks in my home town area, but my journey is a very private one. And as a result, it is not an easy one. You can be yourself here and share you fears, sorrows, good days and not so good days. You will not meet a finer group of women anywhere than the Hermits!

    Rather than beat yourself up, be kind to yourself and know you (and everyone else here) is doing the best that they can to work through their medical care. It sounds like it all got to be too much for you. We are here for you as you try to maybe regroup around this whole thing?

    Markat and FL Warrior- work was a wasted effort today. My team had to be in this weekend so they were all tired and mopey and wanted to be off for MLK day. I was tired today too (think it is residual from the internal rad the week before last) and left after lunch. Hope the rest of the worker bees today are done with this monday!

    And Skittle, I had the same conversation with a guy I used to see back in my late 30s when I had my first mammo and they found calcifications, so I was going for repeated mammos followed by a surgical biopsy. I remember how much the mammos hurt then as I had fibrocystic breasts (less so now in my 50s) and he was like "so what is the big deal?" I made the same analogy about testicles squished between something and he went white. Men act like they are dying when they have a head cold, what would they do if they were us? LOL!

    Tomorrow is a new day fellow hermits.

    Markat... so sorry for your drama.  Can the headbands be saved?  Maybe shorten them into ponytail holders... or add a bow on the nibbled part?  My dd's are 3 years apart, so they were lots of fun together.  And I do love my munchkins.  (28 per class x 3)  They are constant drama and comedy and tragedy all on a hair trigger.  You never know what will set them off.  And, yes, drama at 9 comes with the territory.  I laid down the "law" of once is asking, twice is reminding, three times is nagging and the answer is no.  It worked for years and cut way down on drama...  (It works at school, too.)

    Camille... brrrr!  I love seeing snow, but not the super cold. 

    Jazzy...  sorry work was a waste.  I felt luxuriously lazy staying put, watching parts of the swearing in, and procrastinating grading papers. 

    Shambles... let us know if we can help at all...  hugs your way...

    All...  take care.  May Tuesday be gentle to us all.

    I hope tomorrpw is good...So far the hospital screwed up my 1 app't and made it at another hospital. I'm getting a scan at one and then they make an app't at another hospital not even an hr. later----that's 1/2 away. Good thing they called. Now I have to go to the scan, then I think I'll go into one of the Drs. and get this straighten out instead of phoning.--I'll be right there so I might as well.

    6 wk post surgery was good.  Pathology good ... don't have to go back to gyn for a year, unless I have problems.  This is my only Dr's apt this month ... yeah! ... and then 2 months off before I see my MO again.  So excited!

    Cami hope apts go well.

    Markat "tween" starts early these days.  I have 3 girls 18,21,23 now and we all survived.

    Hoping now I am off my restrictions for lifting/exercising I will be able to get back into the swing of things and feel better.

    Thanks all for the girl advice. The soon to be 8 year old isn't far off from the 9 year old. Just different drama. The tween years do start earlier, not sure why? Paybacks for my own bad teen years haha.

    markat, I feel that the internet has caused the tween years to start way to early for children.
