Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?

Mommarch, terrible news.  Hoping for the best outcome.  Definitely count on us as your support team.

Mommarch, We never seem to be able to leave it behind. So sorry, hoping they are able to get you back in remission.

waiting for Oncotyp score and then the Plan. Surgery site healing well, can't wait to get cracking.

Mommarch- hugs and prayers.

Anne

oh mommarch.....HUGS! I am so sorry that you have to deal with this again. Sending thoughts and prayers your way! The ladies on this thread will be your biggest supporters and cheeleaders!

NCDI,

I had ( farmed out for some things ) treatment at the V.A. Hosp. 73 miles south of me.  Was in the military in the 60's.  I didn't need them for most of my life, but when I did they were there.  I was highly satisfied with all that they did, and the places outside the facility that they sent me too were wonderful as well. 

Waiting is sometimes the worst part -- because in some cases ( hopefully not so much yours ) it seems like too much time is passing before you feel like your efforts are actually producing some results.  Hang in there.  

I think I should have said WELCOME up there before I started all the typing -- my fault.  We are awaiting a storm and I'm getting ahead of myself.  Hope you will come back often.  We talk about anything and everything.

Blessings

Jackie 

Yes!

Mommarch,  So sorry to hear your news.  You are in my prayers.  May you get a plan of attack soon.  ((((((Hugs)))))

NCDI and any other newcomers.  Wishing you well.

Ducky, Happy belated B-day and many more.

Chevy, you and your husband - just too cute for words.  Loved, loved the photo.

I did 2 1/2 hours of yard work today and got some pruning and weeding done.  That's about my limit these days.  I used to be able to work all day, but then I WANTED to work all day.  There has been a loss of initiative, which is another way of saying I've gotten lazier.  Also my foot was hurting pretty badly by the time I went inside and peeled off my sweat-drenched clothes.   

Then we had a thunderstorm and downpour this afternoon.  If it isn't too wet around the front flowerbeds, I'll go out again in the morning.  I had 20 bales of pine straw delivered for mulch.  The problem with going outside and getting started is seeing all the things that need to be done.

Wishing everyone a restful evening.

mommarch,

So sorry to hear your news. I don't post much any more but do keep track of everyone so hope to be in your pockets too. Saying prayers that they can get you into remission.

Good advice, Chevy.  I'm thankful that I can still bend over and pull weeds and spread mulch.  I encourage myself by thinking, This is exercise.  It's GOOD for you.  Plus it's always a pleasure to see the results.  It was the creative side of gardening that appealed to me.  I liked building the beds and planting things that bloomed and looked pretty.  With all this rain and humidity we have a greenhouse atmosphere outdoors.  The shrubs planted along the house go crazy and have to be pruned or we wouldn't be able to see out of the windows! 

Happy Sunday to all.

Morning,

I should have one of those kneeler gizmo's but I don't really do all that much outside.  Have learned the hard way that any "planting" and I would have to put a big iron fence around it to keep Dh from mowing it down as soon as possible.  It must be such an exciting challenge to him!!  Sigh !!!! Funny to me how the patience for things between male and female is distributed.   I already know that I'd feel challenged to carefully mow around something that is planted -- while Dh is challenged apparently to go in as straight a line as possible. 

Maybe I should be happy --- If we ever get to where we have to pay someone to do it -- they will be thrilled at how easy Dh has made it FOR them.  They will be able to just zip along with nothing in their way.

Don't know what is on for today for sure.  No shortage of things to do.  I do have to get Boss his bath. That will lead to having to clean the big bathroom, but then -- I didn't clean it this week knowing Boss would need the bath and just destroy anything I did.    Soon it will be time to get the "hairy" dogs their Spring cuts at the groomer's.  This yr. I'm going to bite the bullet and get the expensive flea collars for the dogs.  They last 8 months.  Are about $50.00 each so actually less than I would pay for 8 months of the drops on their necks and sometimes those don't work so well anyway.  The VET assures me that I'll likely be VERY happy with the collars.  I think I will to.  The dogs don't like having the drips applied.

Need to get my car re-washed as well.  There is a green tint going on from all the pollen that has settled on it.    I'll see you all later when I check in again.

Blessings

Jackie

Great pictures Ducky! What an incredible amount of love surrounds you. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Mommarch- {{{hugs}}}

We are preparing for my GS's 16th birthday party next weekend. My daughter had a list for me to get at SAMs yesterday, and two lists for the grocery store- one for yesterday and one for the party that we will get on Fri.. On the way to the store yesterday, I asked if the list included anything for dinner this week. Whoops, she forgot we have 6 nights of dinner before the party ( minus one- we are taking him out on his actual birthday). Back to the grocery store today.

Have a good Sunday everyone

Anne

Ducky, I especially love the picture with the young grands! Someone doesn't want to have her picture taken!

Have to get one of those kneelers. Its not just the kneeling, but the getting up too!

Brrr , was 30 when I got up this morning, with some frost. Come on spring!
