Starting Chemo March 2015

Thinking of you, T.

you are all such lovely people, will be in my heart forever, even if we lose track of each other

Wishing everyone a ledge-less week and a happy Monday. Hang in there. So much yuck going on.

Love you ladies, thanks for being such a part of my life and for understanding everything in ways no one else can.

Yay, Maryellen!

Hooray!

Great news Maryellen!!! So happy for you! Hopefully it is the start of a trend of good news rolling everynoe's way!

Yea Maryellen!! So glad to hear some good news! Came home to a bill from the BS office from my Oct past 6 mo follow up and a recent scare (fat necrosis).. I paid my copay both times but somehow owe 477.00, wtf?!! More phone calls while trying to work to pay for my insurance blah blah blah.

Happy Monday all!

Good news! "Oh, you can disregard that bill. It was generated while they were transitioning...."  I don't care why just let me have your name, document the date of call and "disregard this bill!"  Thanks for the sympathy Katy. Good to see you're still monitoring this thread

Yay Maryellen! I love good news!

On my way home from funeral thing for ex-husband Donnie. So many conflicting overwhelming emotions. Glad I went and glad I'm going home.

2 year old granddaughter who has lost 2 grandfathers in 2 and 1/2 months said their hearts died, then said mommy and daddy have hearts. She refused to look at her grandpa Donnie through everything. I guess it is a bizarre thing to view a dead body, especially for a kid. She also woke up this morning and punched my daughter in the face and refused to apologize, which shocked all of us. Maybe she was mad at my daughter thinking her heart might die and her mommy might leave her. Then she laid in a bed and cried for about an hour. Thankfully kids are resilient, and sadly, she probably won't even remember her two grandpas. But really, my husband and I are the primarygrandma and grandpa because we see them at least three days every week, so as long as I don't die.....not going there!

If this event has done one thing, it has reaffirmed my approach to life as a glass half full one, and I am going to continue making the most of everyday.

Once I quit worrying that flying will give me lymphedema.....rofl.

Ugh, Eileen, I can't believe they're making you wait another week for answers! Not cool.

Theresa- what a great grandmother you are to those kids. especially now when they really need it. Hugs to you and yours that the healing begin.

Eileen- you know I'm in your pocket. Let's both just scootch back from the ledge a couple of inches. I've got you. 💗

Hi guys. Just want to say the bracelet is here at JUST the right time. I had no idea how my cancerversary would affect me. I have my 1-year mammogram on Monday and am having nightmares and much anxiety. While I anticipate it will be fine, I didn't expect I would have such extreme anxiety. I hold the bracelet close to my heart and thank my lucky stars I have you all in my life. KSusan, the bracelet will be off to you once I make it through Monday.

Love you all!

Eileen, thinking about you. They better not drag this process out. Hoping they get things looked at and give you answers soon. Doctors don't seem to understand or care how traumatic this stuff is for us.

Sue, hugs. Let us know as soon as you know and are done. Fingers crossed all goes well, and toes and eyes and everything are crossed.

Back home in San Diego, life is sweet. Every time I get off a plane, the air is amazing.

T, Sorry it's been such a rough week for your family. Glad you can now plow forward.

Eileen, hate that you have to wait a week. Can you call and ask/beg/plead to move it up? The squeaky wheel often gets what she wants!

Sue, (((hugs))) we are here for you

Good luck and breathe deeply!
