    Why the vitamin k Mary? Never heard about that.

    My nails are okay but I have the ridges and a white line just below the tips that looks like it will break off so sounds like yours Tricia.

    maryah - i totally have the chin whisker (from my father's mom) and the peach fuzz on my face as well.  For some reason I thought my hair would grow back more strategically.  Yell

    I love this board. Cracks me up! In a warm, fuzzy way.....maybe a peachfuzz , whisker way. Was so bizarre to use a tweezer for the first time. I even kept a shampoo coupon. Planning ahead.

    You couldn't make this shit up. My mum has just turned 50 (she was a teenage mum) and called me an hour ago to say she has been dx with BC. She found out on Tuesday but I was on holiday and she didn't want to ruin my break. I can't believe this. Feels like someone is playing some sort of sick joke. :(

    Thanks. I don't think I got this upset when I was diagnosed myself. I feel like I've been kicked in the gut. I can't lose my mum. I just can't.

    Michelle your not going to lose your mum!!!  Don't even think that way, how do you think she felt when you were diagnosed - she was scared - worse than you were.... She will need to lean on you and look at all the good advice you have for her...Things will work out, just look - we (on this board) all have/had breast cancer and we are still here to talk about it...Chin up girl and prayers are coming your way...Innocent

    Macy - I made up my mind never to let my hair get tooooo long again - if it wasn't so curly, I could live with this 1 1/2 inch hairdo - maybe when it's 4" I'll keep it like that..so easy, I can shower, dress, put on my makeup and be out the door in 20 minutes now!

    5Luv ~ What did I get waxed? I use NO NO on my face, I have little to no hair growth on my underarms, had to shave my legs for a graduation party the day before, and would never wax my head, which leaves .....  WinkLaughing

    Sick of Pink, I am reading your book as fast as I can, I'm really enjoying it but I'm only up to Chapter8 because you actually have to sit still to read and when I do that I usually fall asleep...Hope all you girls who bought her book, What a Mother Knows, are faster readers then me .

    Girls, I was washing the kitchen floor the other day and dropped the whole bucket of water - slipped and slid across the floor- landed on my big ole butt, screamed for helpYell, crawled across the floor drenched - could have broken my hip but lucky for me I was saved by the fat on my ass!!!! Tongue Out Moral of the story - It doesn't pay to clean and sometimes fat is goodKiss  Love ya!

    Sick of Pink ~ EXTREME fatigue with Femera.  I was put on Focalin on Friday.  So far, it's working too well.  I cut the dose in half. Smile

    Lovebugs....Im not sure if my irratibility has to do with being pushed into menpause or if it is the hormone blockers..I do know I hurt...anytime I sit to long it hurts to get up! But we just got a dog and so I am walking with DH after sitting on my but all winter...and I finally feel good enough to do stuff...I dont hurt if I keep moving..

    I dont have enough brows yet to wax...and I had to renew my licence because my birthday is next week and all I could think is really I need to have this picture for the next 8 years...I think it will be tough because it has been a tough year!

    Looks like everyine is feeling better or moving on. Been time to pass the torch and help others, when people find out - and now I go without headcover more - I end up on the phone with newbies at night. Still achy & more transfusions, but getting used to arridex. The piece I wrote about feeling ugly and depressed and guilty for my new husband is in the NYT Modern Love column today. Hope you guyes enjoy it if you get a chance.

    My first appt back with surgeon and followup mammo is tmro, kinda nervous.

    Sickofpink, hope you made out excellent at the surgeons & Mammo.

      Your article in the NY Times was great and I feel so honored to know first hand, all that you wrote is from the heart, and that we, your BC sisters. were here with you during the low point in your life because it was our low point also but look how far you and all of us have come...Good job girlfriend.
