In shock

Sal57, I hear you. After surgery my path report showed one positive lymph node with one microscopically small, teeny tiny metastesis. Game changer though - chemo and rads followed. My wish is that you will not have to go through that.

checking in to see if the Calgary gang is still hanging on to sanity....can you believe we are now in our 8th continuous month of SNOW....yep..CONTINUOUS!!!!!! Please don't let be one of those years where we have snow in every single month!!!! PLEASE NO!!!

edi..that bike sounds wonderful! So glad to hear you got it. I've found that writing down what I do, in a little pocket calendar, or somewhere....helps to keep me "at it"! Hard to justify a bunch of blank days staring you in the face!

hope the newbies and the veterans are doing ok this weekend.....hugs to all.

Today is MRI day. Then more waiting for results. If this turns out to be nothing, I will want to celebrate. If it is what I fear, then back under the covers. Is this what triple negs have to look forward to? Every ache and pain causes me to fear the worse.

Edi… I am so proud of your cycling! Awesome! Perhaps if my MRI is not mets, then I might get a bike for Oregon! 

I am caught up on all the wedding stuff. Only need to make a lace bracelet for DD out of lace from my wedding dress. Have no idea how to design it…but thought it would be a nice touch of something "old"…plan to add pearls and crystals to the lace. Then I have the task of trying to pack the car with all this stuff! A friend of mine is coming this week to help transport some of the load to Charleston, SC. Next Monday, DD and DH are going to practice their father/daughter dancing…"Forever Young" by Rod Stewart. My song is "Be Okay"…I just want to be okay…be okay.

Hope all is good with my fellow warriors. 

Love,

Jenifer

Thanks Nihahi xx

Mom, everything crossed for you,this triple neg is sxxt !! Can't tell you how many times I get into a blind panic, prayers flying out for you.You will be on that bike before you know it.😀. The bracelet sounds just beautiful and so special for DD.

Just sending hugs to jenifer and checking up on edi.....

Hope everyone else is doing well and staying busy. I'm wondering if any of the Calgary gals would like to have another get together??? Maybe we could make it an early supper for the working gals????

momof2 - waiting along with you for MRI results - love the idea that part of you wedding dress will be included in the wedding as a lace bracelet for the bride - wonderful!

Edi - way to go with the exercise bike! 

Nihahi - I would love to get together again with the Calgary gang, last time I messaged with Benny she was going to try to get something together when Morwenna returned - benny was under the weather last week but I think she is feeling better this week. I can nudge her and see if she still wants to organize it.

I will be away in Mexico from May 15 - 23 but should be available for an early supper otherwise

Liefie - yes, we sure have come a long way - I have my first PS visit on May 30th - nice to have others who are finishing up in that area to inspire me

Hello, Cammychris

Take care everyone

Hi 

Nihahi, if I feel like flagging I just picture those point boots of yours  that gets me moving.2 kms so far and it is mid morning.Bingo in a minute so more later plus bit of salsa with Gd.

Jennifer, extra big cuddles to you, chin up chuck.

Websister, did you have a lovely time baby sitting ? Hope you Calgary girls get together really soon.Mexico, I am envious 😀

Cammychris, hi and thanks, 😀

Must get moving and make myself gorgeous for Bingo ha ha.

Wait, wait, wait…The MRI department called Tuesday to ask where I had my CT scan, because the radiologist needed to see it. So today I called my MO to find out results…they cannot access the report due to a new computer system, and there are glitches. Well S^&*t…The nurse said for me to go ahead to my daughter's wedding and my vacation…if the cancer has spread to the bone, they would just treat it with rads to help relieve the pain. Huh?

I finished DD lace bracelet. I think it turned out nice, but she will probably be "whatever" to my efforts. I made Heidi and Oskar wedding collars…they sent a gift, so they are going to be wedding crashers! DD is curious as to where my dogs are going to wear their new collars; I just ignored her question…"whatever"…she will see when she gets down the aisle.

I have been self absorbed with my own anxiety. I do hope all is well with everyone, 

Sal…You will be in my thoughts, May 13, Hope all goes well for you.and a good path report to follow.I did not have any complications, but it was a Big relief when the drains were removed. 

I am going to go strategize my next move with this darn MRI department. ARGH!!

Love,

Jenifer

JENIFER......HOORAH.....HOORAH......HOORAH!!!!!!! 

OMG...I was about to launch into a tirade message about the nurse, the "glitch", etc. then I saw your next post. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU I AM SITTING HERE CRYING!!!!! 

GO WEDDING.......GO KEIKO COTTAGE.....GO LIFE!!!!!!!!!! 

Jenifer. I am so very happy for you !!!! Congrats on everything. Enjoy :-)

I went for my pre op on Tuesday and met the lady that is having her surgery right after mine (I'm AM she's PM)  so we're helping each other through the next week or more. I'm still OK most of the time, am keeping busy building things, nothing like hitting things with a hammer to help vent :-) Finally got my 90 year old Mum in England the hospital contact information (email is not her thing!) so she's a bit less panicky for the time being. It's hard with the seven hour time difference but I should be in recovery before she goes to bed.

I treated myself to a whole drawer full of new and colorful panties the other day and am slowly throwing my bras away. No point in washing them. Although the thought of not having to wear one again is appealing it is still a bit sad. I think I'll keep couple and use them for supporting melons in the greenhouse lol

Back to power tools and hammers!

Hugs to all

So very,very happy to hear your news!  All the best.  Kathy

momof2 - just opened the thread and joy of joys - your news is fantastic!! So very happy for you. You will make it to Keiko cottage  - I love the Oregon Coast - have many fond memories of time spent in Arch Cape and Cannon Beach and Seaside, and of course the amazing Haystack Rock.  You must feel so energized by the news!!!

Momof2 - I'm a little late to the party but I am definitely celebrating with you - how wonderful to be able to now fully concentrate on enjoying the wedding and then relaxing at Keiko Cottage! 

Just popping in to say Happy Mother's Day to one and all!
