Where Are The "Oldbies"?

ncymom....congratulations! You must be one of the 'oldest' oldbies (sorry, I don't mean by chronological age, but by the date you joined bc.org).

Do you mind telling us what your original bc pathology was? (size, grade, hormonal status etc)

Sorry to hear about the second cancer dx - it seems frighteningly common to have thryroid isues after bc treatment.

edited to correct typos

Thanks, nycmom.........interesting that you had about 9 years of endocrine therapy.

What grade was your tumor?

Congratulations again!

hi sierra!!  It's great to see a post from you.  i sent you a PM.

hi denisa, wow!! congrats on the good news.  a grandma now!!!!  Good to hear from you.

I am now 7 years out from dx. 

I am having lots of trouble doing my artwork these days because i have worn out my right thumb joint from my artwork career after all these years.  I am having surgery to rebuild my right thumb basal joint and the joint above that one on January 4th.  YUCKO!!!

Best wishes to all!!

WOW!  I haven't been here in soooo long.  It's so sad that so many are angels in our memories - but I'm so glad to see so many of us still kicking.  2005 seems so long ago. 

All of the blow-by from the Komen decision kinda kicked my memory into gear - I just had to come check on old friends and touch base with all of you that made the journey so much easier.  

So far all is good, we've been from CA to North Dakota, back to CA, and now we're in WA state.  I'll try to come by more often now!

Happy Groundhog Day!

Laura,

You go girl! I have never dealt with a doctor like that and I would not tolerate it either.

Sorry to hear about Junie.  Ivanna--Also sorry to hear about your reoccurance.  I didn't officially join until 2003, but lurked for about a year before that.  

Glad to see so many others still check in here.  

Sierra--Hi.  

Anyone heard from Iodine?

Hi, came back here just to see what is going on these days. I was diagnosed in 2002 and remember all the "old" names, sadly many of them gone. I am still in the clear, its amazing how much this board has grown.

Just checking back in. Hugs to all with the health issues. And so sad to hear more are angels. Next Monday is my 9 year anniversary of hearing, "You have cancer, but we don't know which kind."

The one get together in NYC had to have been 2004 because my hair was just starting to grow (at least that's what my brain tells me it remembers.)

So great to see all the familiar names. But I see that this is no longer a stickie thread. 

Congratulations,Stefs, on your 9 years!

Have you posted on the thread 'survival stage 3 with lots of nodes' (or words to that effect) - they would be so pleased to hear from you!

Hello friends,  If anyone from the NYC area is available Saturday evening...June 1, 2013  at 6pm....I will be walking in the survivor lap of the Relay For Life. It is at the Roseland Ballroom in Times Square. I would love to see some of my fellow fighters there. Please find me to say hello and walk with me! I look like that picture on the left. : )   Sachi

Hi ladies.  I am an 'oldbie" I suppose, I do remember Sierra and Shirlann, and when Sprite passed, so sad.  I joined in 2004 when I had DCIS, but my name was JudyB then.  When I came back years later, it made me change that for some reason?  I was online here a lot between 2004 and 2006, then I went back to college.  Then in 12/2008 I was diagnosed with Metaplastic Breast cancer, TN, squamous cell.  But I still have not been online here too much as we started a group specifically for Metaplastic on facebook and I spend most of my time there.  Back in 2008 there weren't many of us metaplastics to be found, even here on bco, but since the facebook page we have found over 200 ladies.  

Good to see some familiar names, and I hope you all continue to do well.

Just wanted to do a shout out ltb, Sachi and everyone! Especially all of you that I met at the get together i NYC years ago!! I was months or a year behind so many of you. I'm not on here much anymore. (It's hard at times.) And an extra hug to the Fellow Texan ltb, even though I've been a transplant elsewhere for yearssss now.
