    I looked at some of the other condition stats. We're high in ovarian ca (which correlates with the breast ca). But why are we high in melanoma? Is it because we're so sun hungry that we don't ever wear sunscreen?

    Nicole503, I have grandchildren in Hood River, so come down that way often.

    LindaKR -Thank you for the info.  Interesting to note that I lived in three of the high rated states: NJ (19 years); RI (9 years); WA (28 years).  It was also reassuring to see that I was diagnosed and live in one of the states that is listed as having a low mortality rate.

    Here I start this thread and have to let you know I can't make it to Olympia :-( I won't be up that way until the 8th. Problem is we are going bankrupt and can't make extra trips that far. Sorry girls :-(

    I am going off in search of alittle more warmth and consistant sunshine for a couple of weeks. I will be back in time for Feb 2nd. Is it still on? When and where? Count me in the head count.

    Did anyone ever arrange a when and where for this - other than Olympia?  It's not that big of a town - but still too big to just be Olympia.... Laughing - and a time?

    I am not able to attend the gathering either, too close to surgery and not up to the long drive. I really hope we can get together in the summer.

    Hello Esther

    Just checking in -- I lived in Maple Valley (near Renton) for 18 years (still own the house) & live near Portland now. Except when I'm in Mexico!

    I was all packed & set to fly away Nov '12 when I was diagnosed w/Stage IV, the metastasis from a mastectomy in '92!  Talk abt surprised. My husb was diagnosed w/anal cancer at the same time! He's in remission. Obviously we didn't go & were in hell for a year.

    My doctor in Hillsboro OR changed my chemo from Ixempra to Xeloda 2 months ago because the former had stopped working. Thanks to being able to gather enough of the Xeloda pills I/we are able to spend 9 weeks in our beloved Puerto Vallarta -- escaping from the cold & drear of Portland/Seattle!

    Good luck to us, eh!?  Adriennek

    So, is our get-together off?  Sounds like quite a few are not available.

    It sounds like this isn't a good time for many. Perhaps we could think about summer?

    I think so too. Perhaps have some local get togethers before then.

    Welcome - we lived in Alaska 30+ years and loved it!  There are a lot of transplanted Alaskans here enjoying more rain and less snow.

    Summer is here and getting ready to recede.  Does anyone want to consider getting together this year?
