In shock

momof2 - wonderful that you are free of the sling. Sounds like a wonderful Thanksgiving, the pecan pie cobbler sounds delicious, if you do get the recipe you will have to share it with us. And you sound so productive with the decluttering of the bedrooms - very inspiring, there are quite a few things I need to do around my house - are you on Facebook, Momof2? Many of us catch up with each other there, it would be lovely to have you join us

Edi - glad that you are starting on the Vitamin B12 shots, should make a big difference. Your daughter is very generous, looks like the perfect place to celebrate your birthday and life in general!

This was my last week for the aircast - the foot/ankle is feeling stiff, as expected, I will give it a few days before I report on how it is doing - I do start another round of physio next week. Have some tests coming up at the end of next week that we could have some pocket parties for - mammo, U/S and chest x-ray

Weather here has warmed up beautifully this week

Take care everyone

I only pop on the boards once in awhile now.

websister...in your pockets, for sure, and always. Congrats on ditching the cast. FINALLY!!!!!

momof....I second the idea of facebook for you. There are ways to keep yourself fairly private, and it is so refreshing to see the "normal" side of friends too. I was a very reluctant joiner, but it is a great way to stay connected while leaving the cloak of bc in the closet. I know that the mental connection with bc is something I want to put as far in the background as possible. Kind of like dropping a book in the library chute....been there, done it, I'm moving on!!!!!

Jennie…I was lurking as a reader only that year. I had a lumpectomy and escaped chemo that year with radiation. BUT that did not last long because the next year I joined the big girls like you who had already traveled this road. I remember how the chemo would cause me to have terrible dreams and my taste buds were not allowing me to enjoy my coffee. So I would get up at 4:30 - 5 am and roam the boards. At that time Edi was the only person up so she would be my first contact each morning.

This year, I should want to celebrate many things…but I have no desire for a Christmas tree. My husband are just going to rest and count our blessings.

This week Nihahi urged me to come on over to the FB side. It has been enjoyable to fit real names with screen names. Everyone seems to have gotten along for the most part from being "In Shock". I am still a year behind everyone, but at least I am not in active treatment this year for Christmas,

If you are on FB you may already be linked to some of the gang. If not, PM me or Nihahi, and we will hook you up. I am still new to FB, that is why I included Nihahi…our lead Warrior! So come join the gang for fun. Then we can come back here to complain about the side effects of hormonal therapy and give each other the support we still need.

Jenifer

Morwenna…I have you on my pocket calendar, Jan. 6. You passed the 2 year mark …. This is another big step. I know you have been waiting for this appointment a long time. I will be in your pockets to make sure they take good care of you

I didn't realise that it was such an auspicious date! How apt! xxx

love it !!!! Happy happy holidays to everyone !!! Muah

Wishing all my warrior sisters a Merry Christmas and yes, very healthy and happy New Years

good to hear from you, Traii - I was thinking of you this a.m. when I heard that Australia had already rung in the New Year! Love the tattoo

Let us all have a wonderful 2015…Warrior Sisters.

Mo…4 more days In your pocket.

under the stretcher it is, Mo! I've been thinking about you today.

Have a good weekend everyone - cold and snowy here

Take care

Thanks

A good night's rest????? I just called the hospital: they want me there at 5.30 ..... AM........ In the MORNING!!!

Oh Jackpot…that is terrifying. I do hope you are healing without complications from that radical scar. Interesting about the blood transfusion. Usually it is the WBCs and plasma that carry the antibodies and potential antigens. Many doctors transfuse washed packed RBCs with saline for those needing hemoglobin. But you should rebound soon with the iron supplement.

I am still recovering from shoulder surgery that was in early Oct. Dang, I do hope that 2015 will bring a better year for all of us…especially my TNBC sisters.

Take care ((HUGS))

Hi 😎, very belated wishes to all my sisters. Also a Happy and healthy 2015.

I was on a cruise from 19th December-5th Jan. 🚢 . DH is neurotic about putting info like that on the internet so couldn't send my wishes before. 😭

Thought about each and everyone of you, especially at midnight on the 31st.

We have all come such a long way on a really long and hard journey. Wonderful that we are still here.

Personally don't think I would have got here without you amazing Warrior Sisters supporting me through the treatment and se's. For that I thank you. 😘

So many of us are on Facebook and it too is a more light hearted support, lovely to see who is up to what. Weather in far away places and beautiful photos.

"In Shock" will always hold a special place in my heart.

Morwenna, hope you are recovering quickly.

Jackpot, you too, didn't know about transfusions problem either.

Will keep popping back here.

Adagio, you go on that cruise as soon as you can. We all deserve spoi!ing after the last few years. It was so restful and I like being waited on 😀 hope 2015 is better for you xx

Today is 2 yrs PFC for me. Just had to pop in and say how thankful I am to all of you. The whole site is wonderful but for whatever reason this thread was the one that got me through the most. If I could have one wish come true, it would be that we could all get together in person some day. Just a dream, I know. All in my thoughts and prayers always. Hugs
