    thanks mommy, it's almost a joke...If I descried all that has gone wrong.it's a zoo

    Btw do you know about ctrl z., if a post dosaears------pr --or--as I wrote disappears, try ctrll z ad it may reappear.

    trying to write on the screen is a nightmare, because you have to be right on t pf the key

    Shep suggested trying other keyboards. I did. Got to a board that was fine for a few minutes. I could write on it and it turned into letters. BUT IT WOULDN"T LET ME LEAVE. Finally, figured out how.

    Greg and I used to say that for every planned purchase, trip, or project have at least the same or double amount in the bank for all that will go wrong. Hmmmm this is coming up in spades.

    Lover, yes very glad.

    Sas - are your keyboard problems on a PC or an ipad? I recently had to ditch a keyboard because my CTRL and Shift keys stopped working. It was after a Windows 10 update, the drivers for this keyboard were no longer being updated so I could not download an updated driver. Solution was new keyboard, not expensive but such ridiculous waste. (Thankfully we have a local recycling facility that will take the keyboard so it wont go to landfill.)

    Love you all so very much!

    Have a great day!

    No idea yet. Might be doing 12 weeks or less of the chemo. Might be paired with Herceptin and Perjeta and might have to do Radiation and this time. Won't really know until I start treatment and they see how it responds. Supposed to start treatment this month

    Oh Mommy, I am saddened to hear that you have a recurrence. Hope they get all the buggers with minimal side effects. I hate the fact that cancer is a chronic disease. Hugs to you.

    Lori, good for you for decluttering. It seems like the longer we live in a house, the more we accumulate. We really don't need a lot of things in the house to survive, but why oh why does our mind deceive us into thinking otherwise?

    Ms. Sas, time for a new keyboard? How frustrating!

    Ms. S, my niece is 7 months. How time flies! Evie trying to tallk or is she already talking? Here are photos of Mia on the hike with her parents:

    M0mmy, best wishes with your treatment and sincerely hoping this is a localised recurrence.

    Me too. So far they are pretty sure it might be a localized recurrence. There was a cyst that showed up on one of my ovaries that the MO is worried about, but they have seen the cysts show up before on previous CT Scans and they have gone away.

    Thanks for the welcome shepkitty!

    Now that I think of it, I was dx two years ago and I can't remember any words of encouragement from MO, BS,and RO. BC Center nurses gave me "oh I'm so sorry". MO said she didn't want to raise my hopes...and she was sorry I had all the radiation problems. I only had one positive node plus occult primary never found. No wonder I hate going to appointments. All they do is test and find new problems. I wish I could say I love them but I don't. Although my heart doc was very kind and sympathetic. He's from Slovakia.

    Oh and young PCP thinks BC is not a problems because there are so many new treatments and we are living longer. Geez

    Very glad to hear most likely localised. If you are, or have been, on any hormonal therapy that can promote the cysts big time. Best wishes for cyst to be nothing put a pesky cyst.

    Good Afternoon Owlies,

    I have been moving for the last 3 days.  OH MY GOSH!!!!  How does one person accumulate SOOOOO much stuff?  Especially fabric.  If I set foot in any fabric store any time soon, I give one or more of you permission to come here and shoot me!  My new apartment is a tad bit smaller than my last one, but this one has a walk-in shower which is a huge help with my hips & back. 

    Anyway, back to the fabric.  Because of the loss of space I think I am going to have to consider donating some of this fabric, I just don't have the space.  I am very grateful though that one friend spent 2 days helping me (moving & cleaning) and another 2 friends came today and moved all of the furniture and many boxes of fabric.  Ugh!  Then on top of all their slave labor, they then bought me lunch.  How did I get so very blessed.  There are still several more boxes (of fabric) in the old apt. and I need to do a final cleaning (i.e., oven, floors, carpet, windows).  However my body right now is in so much discomfort, I am going to take a nap before I attempt to start again.  A neighbor I've known for about 8 years just finished connecting my computer & T.V., so I am now reconnected to the universe.   I promised to cook him a dinner in thanks.  So good to have nice/knowlegeable people close by.

    Anyway I will be back later.  Nap Time!!  ;0)

    Junie, See if you can find the people who quilt and give each child a quilt in the hospital that they take home with them. I think it's called Linus something. They would love material and it would be put to good use.
