    All the threads have gone back to page 1 so posting gets me to the end. However it's fun reading page 1 of each thread.

    I have to wear XL tops because of my lymphademic arms. I don't even look a size any more, just eyeball it

    Good news - my DD's biopsy came back benign!!!!!!!!! Thank G-d. From what the doc said to her, it seems it's a fibroadenoma but she gave her the explanation in Hebrew so I'll ask the doc next time I see her.

    Today I've been all over the place emotionally. It's exactly 4 years since my mets dx. I'm doing well on my current tx but...... well, you know.

    Great news, Leah!  How relieved you and your DD must be.

    Hope Chrissy is having a good day.

    I'm off in a few minutes to go to my bc dr.'s office for an annual checkup.  Her NP will do an ultrasound of chest and underarms.  I always get a little anxious even though there is supposed to be no breast tissue left.  Will check in later with the result.

    Thank God Leah!!!! Carole, I see my onc on Monday and wish they`d do an in-office ultrasound! I always get sent for another appointment and then the follow-up. Making it just one appointment would be so much easier! Good luck, sweetie!

    Barbe - I think one of the worst things about this disease is that it is so time consuming!

    Yay!  I passed my ultrasound!  The NP gave me an order for labs (tumor markers) and I took care of that.  She told me I could stop taking arimidex in August.  I didn't tell her I had already stopped about 4 days ago!

    Hi girls!!!

    Wow! So much good news here today!

    Phew Leah.......so glad your DD got the all clear and congrats for still being here after four years!  I do hope that those years just keep on ticking by for you and we have the pleasure of your company for many of those years.

    Yay Carole!! Getting the good news has a way of making us seem to melt........you know? when you let out that breath that you have been holding for so long?  Loving all the good tidings.

    I'm up to my usual stunts...........showing allergies to meds that are necessary........sigh! why do I have such a sensitive system? It's such a pain at times!  I need to be injected with Clexane as I am factor V and have a very high risk for blood clots and as this op has a high risk for clots I need the blood thinner on a daily basis for some weeks to come.  Well last night when they came to give it to me we discovered that the reason I had an itchy belly was because I was having an allergic reaction.  It was a mad rush to notify the doc as for the next few days he is out of the country to see what he wanted to do.  He has changed me to one of the newer tabs that is available but I was due to go home tomorrow and that may now be a problem unless the nurses can find a doc to sign off on a phone authorisation.  If that can't be done I have to stay until Tuesday when my doc returns.   Oh well, it seems as though I have come across another bump in the road.........one of these days I will find a road that is smooth all the way.........lol.

    Take care all!

    Love n hugs.     Chrissy

    Just doing a little happy dance as I heard this morning that my great nephew is NED. He has been having treatment for Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He made still have to have radiation but it's such good news.

    Happy to hear that Alyson!!! 

    Chrissy, as far as I`m concerned there is only ONE smooth road in life and that is the exit door, so be careful what you wish for! LOL It is these bumps that make us humans (and how we react to them).

    NED--wonderful news, Alyson! 

    Summer has arrived here in full force.  Played 18 holes of golf this morning and didn't have a dry thread by the time I was finished. 

    Thinking about you, Chrissy, and wishing you the best.

    Barbe, love the exit door comment. Going to have to remember that one.

    Carole, I don't play golf but I live on a golf course! I'll post a pic for you. It is beautiful. We actually have 3 courses and I love when the tournaments are going on. When OU and OSU are playing their football battle , it's all orange and red out there.  Our pool is between our house and the course. We do have a deck past the pool to watch the plays but it's kind of scary. When you are in the pool, boy you can hear the words!

    I wish all of you the very best that are going through some tough times right now. And goodness, if you are in the hospital, I'm hoping you break out soon!  Winking

    Great news, Alyson!  I went to what I call "old lady exercise" yesterday, and met someone who plays on an over 70 tennis team.  We had a nice chat, and I have to say it made me feel a little sad-I loved tennis so much. It's been years since I played, but that was some of the best times of my life. Carol, your golfing made me think of that.  The joy of being outside on a beautiful day, even if it's hot!

    I`ve actually worked two days this week at charity golf tournaments in my Investors Group tent. The one on Wednesday was for breast cancer so I wore my SURVIVOR ribbon from the relay for life on my flat chest. Today was for a womens`shelter. It`s a way for us to sponsor a hole $$$$$ and then get leads when people fill out ballots for a prize from $50 to $12,500! Glad I`m a golfer when I have to hang around a hole for 8 hours a day!! I live on a golf course too, and my DH is a Marshall on it. He walks to work...LOL

    Barbe, I didn't know you were a golfer.

    Wilsie, I played tennis for years.  Then I switched to golf.  Tennis was better exercise.  And it didn't take as much time.

    Oh Aly, what wonderful news!!  Happy Dancing with you girl!!!  So exciting to know that he has responded very well to his treatment.........that has got to make you feel on top of the world!

    Mema how lovely to see you!!

    Nope, I've never played golf in fact I have never even held a club.......did I mention at some stage that I really hate being outside when it is hot?.........lol.  My game was always squash and I loved it!  I played competition at least three times a week but I was young and super fit.........what on earth happened?!......oh yeah, I got older.....hahahahaha!  The mind still tells me I'm capable of doing anything I want but the body rebels when I even think about doing.

    Well girls I'm home!  Yes, ensconced very comfortably in my own arm chair......yeah!!!.  I must admit the the two hour trip home was somewhat painful and very uncomfortable so now to sit back and relax, get hubby to do all the running around.  He has set me up nicely with everything close a hand so I really don't have to move.

    Hope you day is as good as mine!

    Love n hugs.     Chrissy
