In shock

Hello ladies,

I hope all of the U.S. gals had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine was filled with family and lots of food. Oh how I love my family.

This week has been better with rads, they gave me a bit of a break and moved my boosts up to give my upper chest a break. I also have the next four days off for the holiday. I am working at a little Tavern by my house 4 days a week. It is very tiring but the social interaction is uplifting 

Momof2, I'm so sorry the se's set in for you, rest, rest, rest. I would stay in the house mostly in bed for a few days after every round.

Benny, I'm so sorry about your blessed Diamond I know there is nothing we can say to ease the pain right now, but we are all thinking of you.

Morewenna, Love your cute little gecko

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend

Hi

Havent posted for a while but have been reading. Deeply saddened by the news of Diamond's passing. Our dear Benny will be bereft.Saw about the tragedy on F/B after Caitlin messaged me but no one would have wanted to say anything on here without Benny's permission.
Thank you so much Websister and Morwenna for looking after her.XX Times like this you need your sisters.Glad she has eaten a little, sure she wouldn't have felt up to it without you two.

Benny take time to process this but please come back to us when you can ,we love and miss you X

Maria, glad rads easing a bit, don't work too hard but enjoy the social whirl at the bar X

Liefie, Wonderful day in store tomorrow  will be thinking about you. X

Momof, ((( HUG ))) sorry se's kicked in  hope they ease quickly. Enjoy DD's visit. X

Nihahi, take care XX

Morwenna, LOVE the gecko, real cute, sent friends request to you on f/b X

Adagio, choir great first concert at old peoples home ( captive audience ) next Wednesday. Poor loves will all try to escape. ha haX

Cold and bit wet here but not too bad, just finished xmas cake for GD's xmas fair tomorrow. We are doing guess the weight of the cake to raise funds for school.
Then tea out with daughters and GD's will try and send some pics.

Need to go and cook some food, LOVE YOU ALL. X

Edi, I didn't get your friend request.:(

Would you pm me your Facebook name please?

Beautiful cake, Edi! Showed it to my MIL and we both agree it is a work of art - sure it will taste as good as it looks!

Glad you ladies approve of the cake  main thing is that it makes us some money.
DH is dressing as a reindeer !! then on photograph duty in the grotto. He has a red nose on elastic that when you tug it flashes. He hopes it will make the little ones laugh. I did anyway ha ha.

Momof you are doing great, small and tasty was all I could manage through chemo but it resulted in getting into smaller clothes diabetes also better controlled some some benefits..
Some things still taste YUK but most food ok now, loving the slimline me too.
This time last year I had just had head shaved after first having short back and sides for a few weeks. Wigs can be fun, now I have a mop of curls 12 months later so it does come back and quickly.
I didnt enjoy coffee either only Latte ??? just drank gallons of tea and Bovril which was gorgeous.
Made all my kids wedding cakes, saved a fortune !! x

Caitlin, Hope you looking after yourself x

Adagio, of course you could do a cake like that, like modelling with play dough.X

Morwenna, have pm you x

Just got clothes etc ready for tomorrow, more excited than the little ones. Off to sleep I go. X

That cake is amazing! so beautiful I would hate to cut it LOL. Happy Thanksgiving to all that celebrate and Happy Weekend to those that don't so we all have something to celebrate.

Morwenna and Websister, thank you for representing all of us, and caring for Benny.......the news on FB cut me to the core, and Benny and Diamond have been in my thoughts constantly.......what a blow to poor Benny.....eldest DD came in and found me weeping....I told her about Benny and her giant plush toy, showed her a picture of Diamond....then she was crying, too......she has seen what BC does to women, and she appreciates the love and support I get here.....so she could understand that we suffer together.....no matter the cause......thank you both for doing what I wished I could do......

Benny.......just want you to know you are loved, and that you will be welcomed back with open arms whenever you are ready to return.......(((Hugs)))

Edi.....nice to see you are in fine baking form! Lovely cake! Is the Queen expected for tea? . You are a very talented baker!

Nihahi, hope you are enjoying your time away......miss your strength and wisdom, though!

Mom......Oregon pulled out the win......by a single point! Didn't watch the game (don't think I could.....would lose all my nails!)..... As I went to the new Disney movie "Frozen".....best Disney movie in YEARS.......just before the movie starts, the commercials are playing.....and up pops DD #1's Netflix commercial.......weird.........

Staring to get sleepy.......love ALL you amazing and wonderful women!

XO

10 months PFC and my hair is getting all weirdly curly. Was stick-straight all my life! LOL. Those who are ahead of me, if I cut the curls off will they come back, or no? I can't decide whether I like them or not.

edi. The girls are gorgeous. Only a matter of time, im sure they will be catching up on much nana sleepovers

Today I went to our local organic, in town, grocery...and the girl at the register had the most beautiful purple curly hair! I told her when I finish chemo, I want my grey hair dyed purple...hey, never too late to act crazy in this town...Then at that exact moment this man grabs my arm/hand and says,"hey, you look great! Glad to see you out and about." Who was this mystery man...well, my DH knew...My Plastic Surgeon...okay, this town is definitely getting too small.

Bad day for football...at least for the teams I support. But it is only football, and there is always next year. So Edi ...what was the final weight of the Christmas cake...Keep it up ladies, I am going to get my mojo back next week and bake a practice wedding cake...LOL Bring on more steroids!!! Talking silly, but hey, better than crying.

Keeping those whose hearts are aching in my thoughts. Gentle ((hugs))

Love,

Jenifer

Caitlin..I know it was a tough loss...I married into a Duck family, but teaching in Newport, was definitely a Beav State...funny thing, the people we bought our present home in Athens from moved to Corvallis because the husband accepted a position at OSU,

Bless those little hearts...UGA beat GA Tech in overtime and Alabama maybe meeting its maker in Auburn, AL. overtime. Yep, Thank you Damn War Eagles

Edi...I do not do facebook, so I neglected to wish you a wonderful birthday. Oh, Chinese food sounds soooo incredibly tasty.

This time last year I had come through surgery, rolled a marginal oncotype, and was headed for rads. Finished all of that, dealt with the death of my FIL, by 12/31/12. I was so happy to say goodbye to the cruel year 2012. I had an absolute awesome summer and DD got engaged. So rewind, let me try this again...I will be so happy to say goodbye to 2013, wish my treatment would be done on 12/31/13...but, I will survive

Guess I got a little carried away with football, yesterday. I was completely shocked that UGA pulled out a win against our in state rival. Now, if I had been a betting person, I would be a few $$ richer, because, I knew that Alabama had an easier schedule than other SEC teams.

Well. going to brew some coffee...not gonna give up my friend, yet. Perhaps hotter, and less milk this time.

Edi...have fun in your new sweater dress. Nice to have 2 fabulous choices

Enjoy your day ladies.

Love,

Jenifer

Welcome Jackpot...I will be having my second chemo on 12/16. I am so glad you are almost finished with chemo. I will add another agate to my TNS bag and be sending you healing thoughts. Looking forward to more "British" humor. I am certain that some of my Southern sayings get lost in translation; but the stories that you and Edi can tell, really help ease this crap called BC.

Wake up ladiesMovie..you live too far West...wish I was there.

Jenifer

Welcome Jackpot!

I'm a fellow Brit too, (Southerner!), and triple negative, but we moved to Canada in 2005!

Did you really read all the thread from page 1 in only a week??? ;D

I love this thread for the people in it, and the fact that its not all about the C word, although that raises its ugly head from time to time. People here are going through treatments, finished treatments, reconstruction, relationship issues, the whole kit and kaboodle, so there's always someone who can relate.

We can laugh and cry together, and often both in the same day! xxx ;D

Hi
Jackpot, welcome another scouser YAY !! emigrated to the wirral 34 years ago. We came from Dovecot ( me) and Scotland Road.( DH ) Met in the original Cavern club.
Which hospital are you being treated at ?
You are on the BEST thread here, these ladies are angels without wings.X
Was on calling triple negs in britain but found it bit depressing  just feel at home here despite language difference LOL.
We went to Tai Pan, by the old stanley dock market. It was lovely. X

Morwenna, another Brit YAY. We get everywhere .You are right and coming on here is a bit of everything, sometimes just lifts us enough to get through another day of this BC sxxt. First choir concert Wednesday pooping myself. Told one of my friends we went out with today to watch your Video on you tube. She too is in a choir and performs all over Liverpool.X

Momof, sure next chemo won't be as bad. You now know what to expect. We will ALL be wriggling in those pockets.X

Dakota, hi gorgeous how are the kids ? X

Sorry someone asked how much cake weighed ? it was 2.1.73 kg someone guessed 2.2 kg and won it. Hope they like it.

Didn't wear either of new dresses as couldn't decide  wore a comfy won I have had for a while instead.

Bed time beckons, can't believe I am hungry again !! just had cheese on crackers nightmares here I come ha ha.

Love you ALL X
