Starting chemo July 2014

Hi everyone, Last week I finished my 3 month exercise class at the Y for cancer survivors. Great class, and I feel so much stronger. Looking forward to spring birding and an Alaskan cruise next month.

Hi everyone,

Box...can't believe your baby is already 6 months old! wow! reminds me how long this has been.

Walle...funny...our family is hoping to get to Florida this summer and get some great weather. It can't snowing up here.

Oh, Box, thank you. What a little darling. I'm Christian, but am clueless what rabbits have to do with Easter. Lamb, the sacrificial lamb, yes, but rabbits???

AFAIK, rabbits are one of those Pagan things that somehow got mixed into Christian holiday. Rabbits symbolized fertility, rebirth, spring, etc. same with chicks and eggs I think.

awesiome picture!!

Puffin and Mags, you both look wonderful!!

Puffin ~ were you a curly head bbc?  It is really beautiful.

Mags ~ our hair is about the same length, but mine sticks up on top and I have less color... as in white.

Beautiful ladies! Just gorgeous!

Dancingdiva - rads will go by fast YAY.

Me I am off to get my hair colored. Woohoo

hi Joeysmommy - good to hear from you. I'm on tamoxifen. I haven't had any heat palpitations though. However, I am on thyroid medication and when my thyroid goes out of whac I get them. Have you ever had your thyroid checked? I just had to lower my dose of thyroid medication (synthroid) earlier this week. I have read that tamoxifen can affect the thyroid, but it doesn't for everyone. It may not even be that with you, but I just thought I'd throw that out there.

Hey my sisters, say a prayer for Michael, (husband not child) he has had right lower quadrant abdominal pain, doesn't have a gall bladder or appendix, CTs are clean, surgery consult sent us to GI that day, getting full scopes from both ends at 1:30, the notes from the surgeon's office, colonoscopy for possible malignancy. I'm scared. I have to drop him off, go get my echocardiogram for surgical clearance for my surgery on the 7th. then try to be back before they take him back. Too too much is going on.

Many good thoughts for both of you knmtwins. Thinking of you.

Nancy

knmtwins, oh no. That is too much going on. Hugs twins....sending positive vibes

kmntwins,

Thinking about you and your DH. Praying that all is well.

Hello everyone! I had no idea you all were still active on here! I've been reading about the exchange surgery and fat grafting and it's all so overwhelming! My surgery is May 20 and I see my ps tomorrow so hopefully he wil answer all my questions.

So glad everyone is doing well and I love all the pics with hair! Mine was straight before and it's coming n curly which is what I wanted. I do it up like a fohawk and use a lot f hair gel to keep the curls from poking out everywhere.
