Hi Sew I am actually glad that I made the big math blunder. It was a relief to find out the tumor is 4 3/4 inches and not 12 inches. HA HA such a big mistake.I don't blame you for not wanting another surgery. I am sure you look beautiful just the way you are. Your suppost is wonderful for me. Thank You

Kate I am so glad to hear that you got that catheter out and the urine is normal.  Hooray for that.  You have got to be feeling so much better!  I am so relieved for you.  I agree let's have another pajama party tonight and the idea of touching up roots and nails sounds like just what we all need.  That and some treats too!!  And yes, wine is just the thing to put a warm glow on all of it.  We can sit back, take a deep breath and know Kate is on the mend. 

Kate, what good news!  And you'll have at least untii tomorrow to rest and be taken care of.  And revel in the joy of peeing (I've been there as well).  I hope they'll let you stay until Sunday. 

Hi Bunkie,

Sorry that you are not feeling well. This too shall pass.

I am doing better. My catheter cane off thank goodness, because it was so uncomfortable. I am urinating normally YEAH. I feel better than I have in days.

My surgeon friend is coming with me to the medical oncologist appointment, and I am so glad about that. She is such an upbeat person.

I will be in your pocket for your procedure Wed. Hugs, Kate

Eatin cake Kate. Could not decide what ice creme so I picked with my eyes closed and ended up with Carmel Cashew. Yum. You realize that down in my 2nd freezer are 10 different ice cremes and I am only 1 person. That has to be koo koo 4 koko puffs but I can not help it.

Thank God your surgery is over. Now if we can find my lost weight things could be great.

Rmlulu you picked the perfect party for me. I love girlie girlie stuff so sparkes on our toes, on our nails, and in our hair is perfect. More cake balls is perfect if janis is kind enough to make more, and being high on Chardonnay is ideal. Cindy you are the best. Thanks so much for your support

sAB, tHANK you so much for your support. As always you show how much you care.

Gigil, you are a doll, and another sweetie who has always been there for me. Get the party started. My roots need a serious touch up, and I want some of the girlie girlie glitter on my toe nails. Cake balls and wine are the perfect accompaniment. xoxo, Kate

Kate if I lived nearby, I would seriously be there putting the glitter on your toenails and doing your roots.  I need both things done as well.  I have been so wrapped up with the recurrent UTI's and antibiotic treatments,  I have been neglecting the girlie girlie things that make us all feel so much better.  If only we bc girls could use topical estrogen cream, life could be so much easier.  Anyway, enough about my minor aggravations.  After what you have been through, I feel like a wimp talking about those things.  You are a brave woman, my dear and an inspiration to all of us.

Hi Gigil,

You never need to apologize for venting. You have your issues and we are here to support you. You are such a doll. I know that if you lived nearby you would come over. I will be in your pocket Monday praying for good results for your cystocopy. Love you, Kate

Gigil, I had no idea you were going thru such stress. I'm so sorry. Getting old, not to mention AI side effects if you take one, sure isn't for the faint of heart is it? I'm glad you've changed around to have a more cohesive medical team....that makes such a difference when there's just one place we have to deal with. Good luck, and I sure hope they find an answer and treatment for the UTIs and prolapse. Be sure to let us know how you're doing....

Thanks ladies. It seems sometimes if one body part isn't ailing, the other one is. I am hoping to find some answers, but this type of problem is becoming epidemic in the female population. Now that estrogen is such a no-no, a real effective treatment hasn't been discovered. Remember when we were all 20 and these problems were not even a consideration? We didn't appreciate how good we had it, did we? I feel good that I made my own decision on who I am seeing instead of just being a good girl and doing what I am told!

Deyla, I am so happy for you - what a good feeling to be done. I know it can be a little strange - almost like you'll miss the people you've met...but it only took me a few hApril,  back!

Kate, I'm glad the catheter is out.  That's so much better for you.  I hope the hospital stay turns out how you hoped.  You've been through so much. 

April, I'm with you....it's the week end and I am loving it.  I hope you have a great long birthday celebration!

All this talk of cake...I had to buy a bathing suit today and it took 2 hours...tried on everything in the store that would fit me...I did find something nice. 

I'm having trouble with the internet tonight...so have to sign off.

Good Morning ! Hoping that Kate is sound asleep since it is around 4:30am where she is. Wanted to wish you a good homecoming Kate if I can't be on later today.

GigiL, I just saw that you have been having recurrent UTI's as well. You quietly slipped that in and I think most of us missed it. I am so sorry hon. Those are so miserable. I had one in my life and I STILL remember it. I can count on one hand the times I had anything that required antibiotics and I am thrilled cause I got a yeast infection every. single. time. That one was a doozy! Praying that they figure out why it keeps happening.

Thanks Joan! We are finally supposed to have great weather today - high 50's and sunny. Hoping they were right!

Ok, so I had better bring a magnifying glass with me when I shop for things now since even with my glasses on, I can't read the ingredients on some of the products...ah, one of the other joys of aging. Hey, I will take all of them if it means I will keep seeing lots of birthdays! Never have I been looking forward to getting old like I am now. BC puts a whole lot in perspective!

Have a great day ladies. RMlulu, just want you to know that you are a sweetie pie and I wish YOU an extra special day for your tireless efforts to make everyone feel better. xoxoxo

Hi ladies! What helps me when I have to take antibiotics is taking a probiotic at the same time. I take Florastor and it really does help me because before I would get yeast infections just taking the antibiotic alone. The Florastor is kinda pricey but I think it's definitely worth it not to get any of the antibiotic side effects. Hope this helps! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
