    Hello all of my BCO Sisters!


    I'm finished with the non-stop month of October! My son turned 16, Sunday, so we spent this last October weekend with relatives on the east coast of Florida! Whew! Having said that..............


    I'm ready to have all of you here, in my "hood". How does the 16th of November sound for everybody? It would really help if we could have a Potluck Lunch/Brunch type of get together. I'll provide the beverages which will include a spiked punch! Please send me a PM so I can send you my address and phone number. Oh, I'm really hoping as many of you as possible will join us. These get togethers are my favorite part of having had breast cancer!!!

    Hi ladies. 

    My name is Leanne. Special K just told me about this group. I am new to the boards, but diagnosed in July - 1 week after my 43rd birthday. 

    I live in the Tampa area and looking forward to connecting with you, though I wish none of us had this reason to connect.

    Welcome Leanne!


    I too, am sorry that you find yourself diagnosed with bc . Although this is a great place to ask questions from people whom have been in your shoes. Everyone's journey is different but there is one thing we all have in common, it's great to have support! You'll find plenty of that here.


    Please join us at our get togethers, if it's possible! This is a great group of women and we're always glad to have people join us.

    GalSal,


    I'm sorry it's a "no go" for that date. Sounds like your plans for the 16th are top notch. Let's see how this date works out for enough of us. After all, <2 and I'll need to find another date!

    I'll be physically moving items from Race Track Rd to the Sun Trust Centre, connecting up folks computers and programming their phones etc. No joy for that day. Will be wishing the whole time was with all of you!

    Barbeqrn, welcome! Watch the header as we get our plans in sync. We would love to have you join us. Right now, we are trying to see if November 16 works for most of us.


    So far: SpecialK says yes, Galsal says no.


    Roll call, everyone! November 16 at Firework's home, Pinellas County?

    I'm a definite maybe, too! I want to come, but I won't know for sure until closer to the date. I need to see how I'm doing with SE's and how my daughter's doing.

    When I went in to get my port flushed about a week ago they had signs up for meetings to explain the insurance situation. I had missed a meeting the night before but had a chance to ask the financial person as she walked through - my Humana plan is unaffected because it comes through Tricare, but it is the only Humana plan that will stay. My understanding is that it is Humana, not FL Cancer Specialists, that is making the change. FL Cancer Specialists is agreeing to treat for 6 months (I am guessing from the beginning of the year?) so that people have time to find another insurance plan or provider.

    I have to wait and see what the USF football schedule is that day. It is completely under the control of the networks to determine whether it is a noon game or a night game.

    I'm going to the USF/ Memphis game that day as well. Being a grad from both schools (USF bachelors/ Memphis masters), it is one game that I can't lose! :)

    Whichever one has the ball?? Sounds as good as anything, lol! When I was a graduate assistant with the band at Memphis, they would get jokingly mad at me because I would always wear my USF t-shirt under the required Memphis warm-up suit when they played each other in basketball. I really can't choose one over the other.
