My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer

Minnie~ we all understand the scanxiety that we go through. It really a mean thing to have to put someone through. I am sending thoughts of strength and good results. Yes I am! Cancer is just such an awful thing to deal with. It makes living life, that is already so hard to navigate, that much harder. It's time for a cure. That is really really needed. Thinking of you Minnie! ~M~

Bigbhome, your post also concerned me. I pray everything will be ok for you and your DH! Please keep us posted! We are sending prayers and good thoughts to both of you.

Hi all, I’m here. Dinner and a movie with DH is Carne Asada burritos and Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark (so 1981, lol).

Had a very productive work day, I love those.

Woke up to my beautiful boy biggie snoozing hard.

Leapfrog, I deleted the family photos I posted but they still come up when I google my screen name. I've had my identity stolen in the past, what a mess, and that's why I'm so paranoid about privacy.

I am not all that concerned. There's is no important information that hasn't already been posted on my DD's Snapchat and things she's already shared. I've tried googling my by screen name and. Nothing comes up. I am not very worried about pictures. They don't carry information other than faces and they move quickly on this thread. Like I have noticed before my real name produces way more information then a screen name ever could. I have nothing to steal really.

There are way more websites that I would worry about more than this one. Even my banking information while purchasing gifts online was compromised at least twice. So anything you do online is just that online. If you shop online, you're putting out way more information there, Than anything you could ever put here. We don't use full names and would never use it if I even knew any of yours. What I have done with a few. Is exchange phone numbers and we text daily. This is my oasis,if there is anything anyone gains from a group of women fighting for their lives, they need a new hobby!!! Changing pics is a good idea if it makes you feel better, that's all that matters !! Also, millions of screen names have been created, everyone who has ever held an account online for anything, already has some information floating out there, which is a lot more specific, than the general information here. I am sure hospitals share stats anyway, so my medical information is already exposed. No specific information could come out of this site. There is no information to be had. Sorry you guys are worried. But I don't think it's really worrisome, who would ever think just to google a screename anyway?

There would Need to be a reason, and here are so many similar names. Just seems too complicated to be worrisome. I would worry if we entered any credit information or things like that! I like the news pics you all chose. Even though you're beautiful the way you are ! Much love ~M~

Loving the puppy Mae!! I love him!! Hugs ~M~

Minnie~ Hi sweety. I feel the same way you do. I really don't ever want to go out! It's cold and I am tired. Please know youre not alone, I so understand the scanxiety. I wish we could all. Sit with each other and talk about the things that are the hardest that only each other can even understand. I'm still trying to recover from the flu. It hit me hard. Two weeks tomorrow that I have been hit with it, first week bad bad, second week just fatigue and tiredness and just overall exhaustion. I am sending you hugs across the miles. ~M ~ much love stay safe and warm this weekend. I have bloodwork and XGeva shot on Friday. Yuck!

Thinking of bigbhome! Sending you hugs of concern and strength!

lost part of my post!!!

Bigbhome, praying for you and your family. I hope things get better!

Micmel, your daughter is beautiful, she’s going to look gorgeous as a bride!!!

Mae, I love the Raiders movies!!! And love your dog!!! Such a cutie!

Minnie, thinking of you, hoping you are doing ok today!

Anybody I may have missed and I know there are a lot, know that I think of all of us often and pray for you all!

On privacy, I guess I’m just really naïve. I never even thought about someone reading our posts here and them not being private. That just kind of scares me half to death. I know that there’s another breast cancer site on Facebook because I joined it not too long ago, but I never thought about information going from here to there or from there to here, although I’m kind of guilty about that myself saying that I was upset by what someone had said to me about my mouth being sore after my first ibrance pill.

thank you Gracie~ something I thought I may never see. I am very happy to be able to be a part of this. More than words can express. The planning has already started and tomorrow we go to place a down payment on the venue, which is a beautifully restored train station car, which is very large. It's going to be amazing. She's is magnificent not only outside, but inside. She's a good daughter and I love her so much. My son isn't also very supportive and happy for her. This family needed something good to happen! Been a long hard two years. For almost everyone I know really.

The privacy thing doesn't bother me, if we didn't know there are people reading the posts, then why are we here? Don't give out personal information to anyone you don't trust. Think about it Gracie, you and I have talked on the phone several times. We are friends. I would never mention anything personal.... nor would you. Choosing to use your real name is your choice. But I don't think Breast cancer. Org would attract many people who don't have concerns or scares dealing with cancer. I could certainly find better things to do, if I didn't have cancer and was well enough to be doing what I always did. The only reason I found this place was because i was searching for answers, I didn't google any names just questions, that have been discussed here on many threads repeatedly! There is nothing personal really here,

However, I do think that having cancer is very personal. I chose to come here and post knowing without a doubt, that the point was....that people would be reading it. That's the point of being here. The pics I can understand. Even your state. Totally makes sense. But I believe people that read what we say are people needing support. If the mods over see our PM's they are most likely looking for key words or phrases that would alarm them and I don't believe they are collecting personal information. I went to the offices. It's not evasive and they showed me many things for planning the possible new site, it was just to assure user friendly site access. They are not big brother. Chose what you post, carefully if you feel you need too. Everyone understands personal reasons for feeling the way they do about what anyone wouldrelease. It's just smart not to get too personal even if you're in public speaking to someone across the table. That's how I look at it. Love you guys ! ~M~

Thank you Lynne, wishing you well for Monday too. Thank you Gracie. Micmel, that venue sounds great.

I feel because I am having so much pain at the moment something has to be wrong, but time will tell.

Bigbhome, prayers for you. Love to all x

Minnie~ I always have those moments of worry, basically every single day. The pains to me seems to jump all over me at some point. I am going to choose to think tumor burn and the pain is the medicine getting and kicking it's ass! Love you dear sweet Minnie. I am thinking of all those with scans. I am getting blood work on Friday. Which hasn't happened for three months. Still makes me nervous. Ohh the lives we are forced to live! Much love ~M~ Thanks for the Venue mention. It's supposes to be very lovely! Much love ~M~

Hi gals!

Bighome-really worried for you and DH. Here in your corner wanting the best. Lots of positive thoughts and prayers are coming your way from all here.

Minnie- bummer on the scanxiety- i have often said that I wish there was a "waiting pill" we could take to forget we were waiting!

Mae- love your sweet routine of dinner and a movie. Your job sounds really interesting.

Micmel- a restored railway car? How absolutely cool! I love it! Hope you are feeling some progress in your recovery.

Lynne(Man) and 50's girl, here we go again with our Pats! I am making slider roast beef sandwiches and fresh strawberry pie for the gathering we will attend. Lynne(man) -so pleased for you to have made it to the service. At least it's milder today!

Gracie-hope you are surviving the rigors of Ibrance-improving...

Lynnwood, Leapfrog, Tanya, Runor, Grannax, Nan, and all of the rest of you dear souls, have a peaceful, nuisance and pain free Sunday

Best, MJH

Part of the main room! Looks lovely with the wood! So pretty.the wedding cake goes there in the center....🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂. The hall way leads to the bathrooms and the food service area... it's the neatest refurbished train station I've seen in a long Time ! Great choice DD!!

this is the view from outside the train station.... it's beautiful and the landscaping is lovely that time of year. I am getting so excited! The walkways into the venue next to the train tracks. All re done and is just brand new.

love it Micmel. Don't worry about the missing boob, you will find a beautiful outfit, and no one will ever think about it. I'm a one and a half boob person and don't care anymore. DH is the only,one who sees them anyway lol!

No,football here, it's Rugby for the next 6 weeks. Six nations including Ireland who we will cheer on all the way. We beat France yesterday just scoring in the last second!

Two nice steaks for dinner, mushroom sauce, fries. Well, it is Sunday! I need the iron.

Watched 3 Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri. Anyone seen it? Also The Darkest Hour , Gary Oldman up for an Oscar I believe. Very good.

Off to try some sleep. Happy Sunday you wonderful people x

Micmel, the venue looks lovely! I’m so happy for you! I’m sure you can find something nice to wear. Have you heard of knitted knockers? They are very soft handmade prosthetic and they are lightweight and best of all free. I have a set I can send you if you want to try them. I guess we’re doing the same thing right now...go Eagles!!! With a husband and 3 sons no choice tonight!
