MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN 40-60ish

Love you all! PS-I am going to see Neil Diamond in concert Friday! I am soooooooooooooooooooo excited!

Hello Bermuda77,

Like you/your Doctor, we were surprised too. On Sept. 2016 I got a clean report on my mammogram and then the last week of Dec. I noticed a hard knot on my right breast that I thought may have been a result of firing my gun while deer hunting (no pain or anything though). When the knot didn't go away after a week I went to the my gyno and she said it's probably nothing but sent me for a 3-D mammogram and still nothing. I was referred to a surgeon in the Breast Center because he could get me in that day for an ultrasound and then the mass was detected. I was scheduled for a biopsy the next week and sure enough it was cancer. Finding the knot was the surprise the diagnosis was not. I just wanted the process started so it could be finished. I've been told for years that I have (had) very dense breast so I don't understand why in cases like this ultrasounds are recommended instead of mammograms. I'm thankful though and hope that after my dbl mastectomy, negative BRCA results, and Tamoxifen that with the undergoing reconstruction that this will soon just be a stepping stone in my life. I wish you the best!

please no! if so, Thank you so much for everything,el?!?

My sister and I getting ready for Neil Diamond Friday night!

In honor of our founder - I broke down and bought my first bag of Cheetos in over two years last week. I promptly ate half a bag that first night. Lots of good memories from this thread.

And has anyone seen that funny cheetos commercial where the guy has a special light where you can see who has been eating cheetos even if they washed up after? Cracked me up!

I don't post here a lot, but I have sure enjoyed getting to know every one here, and am happy when everyone else posts. I keep meaning to read it from the beginning someday, just to see!

Eph, you and your sister are very handsome ladies. How is his voice, still good? That venue looks huge!

I've just been having a lot of tests done to find out why my calcium was creeping up, and I was really hoping almost, that it was a parathyroid adenoma. It would have explained a lot of my symptoms I had been having since the first of the year. Sigh. Apparently not. I am tired of feeling awful, and had stopped A.I.'s over six months ago, because the cumulative Ick from those I know were causing problems, including hardly being able to walk for almost a year. On inauguration day, I had shots in my foot that did help, but hip and knees are jacked, maybe from walking funny...

I plan on eating my bag of cheetos on Aug 22. Maybe we could post pictures of ourselves in the aftermath of cheetos eating then? That would be funny, eat a bag together!

Yes, and the light shines on the Kitty and the kitty pawprints, too! Very funny!

I love the idea of posting pics of a Cheeto eating binge!

Hi, I am 56 and have been reading here, ya all sound like a fun group, I wish I checked it out earlier.

hi

When I bought my first bag of Cheetos in several years, I also bought a bag of Ruffles. Both were quickly demolished. Now I know why I don't buy them often. Popcorn is always one 'pop' away and doesn't have the additives - even if i do cover it with melted real butter & salt. But oh my, those cheetos were good.

YUM!!!!!

Tomboy, any news on the testing?

LOL! Love the orange chin!
