Hi, do you know of other local ladies that we can gather together???
-
Me too
-
I'm not sure when I'll be back, maybe someone can bring a laptop and I can attend via Skype!
-
She.... Where re you??? Lol
-
I'm not sure where most of the BC ladies are located but I'm in Horseshoe Bay and I might be in for a get together depending on when and where it is!
-
Maybe we can shoot for Granville Island or something????
-
Keep me posted. Only time I away in near future is Sept. 13-16~~Off to Vegas to share a huge VRBO with 17 other BCO virtual soon to be real buddies.
-
Ossa, if we can swing a Vancouver get together you could stay with me~~lots of room.
-
Sounds like a plan
-
Just have to work it around your work schedule.
She, good to hear from you. How are the AI's treating you?
-
Lets shoot for October after Thansgiving that way we can get more ladies ???
-
Koshka I'm in West Africa.
Marian, every time I think I'm over the side effects a new one comes along ... Sigh. You going to the TaTa Sisterhood in Vegas? Hope you have a fantastic time!
Ossa, I'm happy to hear the wedding and vacay were great ... Photos????? -
She it is our chemo thread from last fall. TaTa Sisterhood? What S/E are you having?
-
-
My son and his beautiful wifePrevious picture is my family on DH side plus my brother and nephew from Norway (on the left)
-
Ossa great photos! Where's the "like" button .....
Marian, pretty much everything on the printout lol. Headaches, nausea, dizzyness, joint pain, mood swings. oh did i mention joint pain lol. Every day is a new adventure, this morning its my elbow. Haven't walked around enough yet for my tailbone to start. (There's a TaTa Sisterhood group here on BCO that meets in Vegas.) Hope you have a fabulous time with your chemo friends! -
Koshka - after Thanksgiving in the Granville Island area works good for me! My DD goes to Emily Carr and lives in the Cambie Village area so I might make it a 2fer on that day.
She - I hope that being in Africa is something of a distraction for the SEs! Seems like an awesome trip!
OSSA - great photos. What a happy couple! Did you happen to go to the Tantalus winery? My DH and I are going in September for a weekend getaway. Not sure about leaving the 17 yo boy on his own but we'll warn the neighbours before we go.
Marian - have fun in Vegas!
-
She, which IA are you on? I had problems at first with Anastrozole but that was right after surgery. I took a short break then and have not really had problems since then other than hot flashes and I changed to AM and since then maybe two weeks or so that is better too.
Ossa, great photos and I am thinking wow your son is tall! And handsome.
After Thanksgiving sounds good. I think we should post the link on the British Columbia thread at some point. Not sure if this would work, but I would be happy to host a potluck. Sometimes restaurants are so noisy and tough to talk to everyone. We have a big open space that my DH made in a reno 3 years ago that is very social. Also I can host some sleepovers~~I know Ossa said yes to my offer!
-
Sounds good to me! Thoughts anyone????
-
Hi everyone - I would love to come to the get together. I am out of town until October 3rd so anytime after that, I can make it.
-
Good to me too. I hope I can make it all work out somehow. I broke my other wrist this time so haven't been able to drive this past month and have a trip planned in September.
I don't post much on the Canadian Forums but read here almost every day. MarieK I was in the Dec 2009 chemo group but I followed along with the Oct group too because (you were doing FEC) so be sure I am in your pocket going forward.
Kathy -
Hi, we are not planning until after Thanksgiving in October. Somehow if you can't drive we can arrange to get you !
-
Thank you koshka. I should be able to make it. I have family in Vancouver that I can call on for something like this. My wrist will be fine by Oct but I can't drive at night and I am sooo not looking forward to the short days coming up.
Kathy -
Sounds like a good idea
-
Hi Ladies ... would love to come to the get together.
Ossa - great pics!
Marian - have fun in Vegas!
-
ok great!! i am tracking all the responses....we should come up with a real plan maybe next week. That would give us like 30 days to gather more ladies!
-
Hi Kathy!
I didn't know you were in my pocket - what a pleasant surprise!
-
How about October Saturday 26th or Sunday 27th. .... A lunch or brunch??????
-
Koshka, just replied to your PM. It may just work and I would be happy to host a potluck still. Once we decide to try for that date I think we need to post on the BC and Canadian threads as I think most people do check them possibly more often.
