    Lee I think they may need to Skype.

    He's just so sweet. He's well socialised, so it's making it easier to settle him in. Romeo (cat) is not happy. He's already swiped at him once. Now the pup is scared of him. I'm sure they will sort it out in time. It's really nice to have something positive to put my energy into. He is small enough to come away camping with me.

    Hi ladies! One of our FB sisters posted this and I thought it was relevant and inspiring.

    Getting nervous about surgery on Tuesday! I'm getting an early exchange (only 2.5 months post rads), fat grafting, and deportation. My hope is that this brings relief from the horrible pain I've had since July and that I heal with no issues - especially since we're doing an early swap.

    As my luck goes, I started having breakthrough bleeding tonight. I'm on Lupron and Arimidex, so I didn't think this would be happening. Anyone else having this? OMG, I hope Aunt Flo isn't hitting. Ugh. I'm guessing they can still do surgery, but what a shit sandwich that'll be.

    Hope Special K is doing great.

    I know Eileen is having surgery this week too, but I forget if it's tomorrow or Tuesday

    Lee- wishing you a smooth procedure Tuesday and really hope you get the pain relief. I know you have been suffering a long time.

    E- my mojo calendar says you are exchanging tomorrow. In your pocket, hugs, and hope you have someone taking good care of you. 💗

    OMG, the puppy is soooooooooooo cute!!!

    Hey to all, long absence from me. Just wanted to stick my head up and add to the positives -- I've finished rads, started tamoxifen, and my blood panels + tumor markers are all good. I have another CT in January (had one after surgery and will continue with quarterly CTs for at least a year), but until something comes up, I'm not borrowing trouble. If this experience has taught me anything, it's to appreciate every single day. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Oh, I also had a bout with lymphedema during rads, but my arm is the same size as the other one now. Still have to go to therapy twice/week, but therapist said I'll be done by New Years.

    Now, if I could just stop baking cookies and other holiday goodies to convince myself and my RL peeps that I'm okay (even though I still feel like hell), life would be peachy. LOL

    Princess of Meh, Glad all is looking good.

    Special K, Hope you get those drain out and that all heals well this time.

    Lee, Hoping the exchange surgery brings you relief from the horrible pain. Wishing you speedy healing.

    Biopsy is tomorrow with results hopefully Wednesday late morning. Trying to stay calm; sometimes successful and sometimes not so much. I go from accepting that what will be will be and I'll deal with it, to shear panic. I have always told the kids everything from the time I found the first lump, all biopsies, etc. I have not told them this time because they have a lot of exams in school and I do no twant any additional stress on them. In February, right after my recurrence diagnosis, my youngest had a standardized math test. She's a whiz in math and was scheduled to be grade advanced this year. Since she did not do as well on that test as they anticipated, they kept her from moving forward. I don't want that type of thing to happen anymore. I hate how this impacts them. I should have the happiest times at their meets and concerts, but that's where I've really struggled these last 2 weeks because I wonder how many more I'll get to see if this turns out bad. I wish I could get rid of those negative thoughts. Off to try to distract my self by cleaning and organizing closets.

    Karen - for what it's worth...I had a dream last night about you. I was there with you for the biopsy and it came back benign!

    I have the most vivid dreams since starting Tamoxifen. Weird, but kinda cool too :)

    I've been away for a bit trying to manage my anxiety over onc appointment tomorrow. Lee, that's great! Eileen, here's to uncomplicated surgery and a quick recovery. Sharon, that's one cute woozle, and so smart, too. Karen, I'm rooting for you. Rlee, I hope you've had some relief. I know I have missed some updates, but I'm thinking of you all. Once I've gotten through my MO appointment tomorrow, I may have more heart for reading and posting. The uncertainty is getting to me, but I understand that my path results, maybe with some retesting, was presented to the committee at multidiciplinary rounds today, so I should get some news. At least I should know something i don't know now.

    Gentle hugs to all.

    Avmom, thinking of you. WPmoon (our own Whitney) asked on Facebook for glitter dust for a friend of hers, so I am sending you magic glitter fairy pixie dust to cover everything with shimmery silver and gold optimism!

    Sharon, Bowie is so stinkin' cute I can't stand it!

    Attended our association holiday party last night with my children and grandchildren, significant others, etc. Had so much fun. Granddaughter Ella, 2 and 1/2, closed the place down, she would not stop dancing! Literally we would try to sit and get a drink of water and she would say "I wanna go back and dance" and off to the dance floor she went. I have so many cute videos. I would share one, but I don't know how to do it.

    Felling blessed today, and a bit hungover lol!

    AVmom, keep us posted. Hope all turns out with favorable results.

    Bekah, thanks for telling me about your dream. I hope it comes true. My dreams have ranged anywhere from benign to inconclusive to some other weird tumor to cancer to making funeral arrangements. Ack!

    Lee, Grest news

    Interesting Eileen...I asked if I could have mine and they said no because everything that gets removed has to go to pathology. Oh well...
