    I don't want to be part of any controversy, I'm trying to stay out of it, but Pet, I would suggest that you might want to fill out your profile.  It helps to see some real info on people so we don't think they are just popping in to stir things up.  If you are being misread, then I apologize.  There are some dishonest people on the internet and it doesn't hurt to be cautious.

    I have really enjoyed my evening.  I guess I had better get some sleep so I don't fall asleep during the sessions tomorrow.

    Slonedeb, I kind of enjoy visiting Lexington on occasion since I grew up as a city girl before moving out here.  After a couple of days I'll be ready to go home!  I'm glad you are checking in on a regular basis.  Keep it up.

    Vickie, I loved your costume.  I hope you feel better soon.

    Jasmine, thanks for the encouragement.  I would love to do a radio show, that's always been a dream of mine.  The station is nationally broadcast, so hopefully someone will be encouraged.

    I love the circle and the support we get here.  It means a lot to me.

    Thanks girls for identifying everyone.

    Gracie, have you used Nioxin?  Don't know for sure if it helped but it sure made me feel better.

    Vickie, love the costume.

    Brenda, I'll keep saying a prayer for Tammy.  Deb is right - my best friend's daughter was born 6 weeks premature at 5 lbs. and is now a beautiful 21 year old, interning at a large accounting firm and when she graduates from college next year will be making $50k to start.

    I'm sitting here with my witches hat and black wig waiting for kids - for someone who usually gets about 400 kids - I've gotten 4!!!

    Sheri, I'm with you - I love when I get a few minutes to myself.  I hope your conversation changed her mind.

    Deb, what a great description. 

    Purrfect, we are a good group of women - sometimes we fight like sisters but we eventually all kiss and makeup.

    Vickie, hope you feel better soon.

    Slonedeb, hugs for you.

    Liz, we all need to take a break occasionally.  I've taken a few of them myself over the last two years but somehow I always manage to find my way back.

    I have not been posting on the site, but reading what has been going on and would like to say a few things about what has been happening in the CG

    People have been and are getting hurt by what is being said here, what has happened to the friendly Wagon Circle where everyone was free to come for support and friendship.

    I am proud to say that I count Vickie as a friend who I have been very lucky to have met on the internet, somone who has always showed kindness and compassion to all, and asked little in return. Vickie is quite ill with her health and has been hurt by what is going on, ladies this is not helping in her recovery.  I also count others on the site as good friends, you know who you are so I will not name you and I appreciate your friendship. I do not know slonedeb but she comes here for support at a very difficult time, I can only wish you slonedeb all the best.

    I ask who are we to judge a new person, who posts here for support

    Nicki and others from Amy to Z, there have been quite a few comments made about me on the site of recent times, which I find totally without foundation.  The forum is yours to justify what you have said about me, as I feel this might be the only way for the Circle to get back to what is was. I do ask for constructive posts and I will reply to what is posted.

    Cheri is unable to post a comment, so I will just say this, no we never got on, and I feel we each did the right thing by ignoring earch other. I did report two earlier posts of cheri's which I found very offensive, and no I did not report any of the last posts which Cheri made. I have never wished Cheri any harm, and am glad that her latest tests were  clear.

    I would like to remain part of the Circle, and hope that everyone can move on and become a place of friendship and support once again.

    Wishing everyone sweet dreams and better days ahead

    Peter

    Slonedeb, please ignore the upsetting postings here today. I am sending you love and prayers and  warm hugs.

    Circle Girls,

    I can't find any words. I am tired and  back on the xeloda again and for the life of me don't have the strength to even begin to try to comprehend the inner workings or the motives of the disgruntled hoarding unfettered resentments and casting judgement on dear friends under the guise of sweetness.

    It is a waste of time. Time- that thing of which we are all fighting so desperately to have more of...... 

    Someone is casting aspersions here ... again. I say enough already. That doesn't seem adequate so I will call in some help...
    "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
    -Matthew 7:3-5

    Peter,

    We were posting at the same time.

    I honestly do not think that BCO should become a steel cage match to "air" grievances. Especially when Cheri is no longer a member here.

    I believe everyone needs to get a grip and let go of all this anger and MOVE FORWARD.

    Why is that so hard to do?

    Vickie, I am so very sorry you are so ill. I had no idea you had taken such a turn.

    Cy, you are in my prayers because I know that you are very ill. Your scans are coming up and we are all praying very hard for you that your metastatic disease has become stable then NED! NED is what we want!!

    Please also keep our Dear FERNE in your prayers as she is on a new chemo to try to stem her mets as well.

    My sisters, my love and prayers are with you always.

    SloneDeb-

    i am sending you a hug.  I am worried about the bleeding...I am a worry wart at heart.  I know you said you onc is not available until next week, but is there someone else  you can see?  I bet it is something simple like the hemroids you were talking about, but you might rest easier if you talk to a doc.

    How is your eating going?  Something else you might want to try is eggs...easy on the tummy and full of easy to digest protein.  Take car and may God bless you and fill your life with peace.

    Gentle hugs

    Deb C

    Good Morning Ladies:  Halloween is over, no more joking and haunting for another year.  Gotta get ready for Turkeys now.

    I dont know what happened when I went to sleep, but got up this morning and sure was surprised at all the talk going on.

    Im confused also.  As we were just having a little fun with the witches broom.  I gave mine away, Liz tried to buy it, SoCal wanted to ride on the back of it.  Laughter is good medicine too.

    I dont take kindly to nasty pm's, never had and never will.  If ya dont like me, then ignore me. 

    Oh and just a thought.  I dont chew my tobacco twice. 

    Anyways - somehow our fun got turned around!  Me?  Im sorry I have to put my broom away for another year.

    Slonedeb:  Rectal bleeding can be an emergency.  I think you should call your onc again and have him fit you in for an appointment.  That is not something that should wait until next week.  Wishing you all the best.

    OK - I gotta go.  Its the work week and no time to talk.  Maybe I will catch up on the week-end.

    Good morning circle

    Well here I am...only have a minute to post but I have an idea for today.

    November 1st...lets have an early New Years party.  Right here in the circle (we don't usually do this as it is done on the cyber party thread).  I think we need to start again...round up the wagons, saddle up the horses, heart to heart and hand to hand...

    I love you all...you are all dear to my heart and I need this place...Gina's site is a wonderful  place too but not everyone is there so I try to go to both...no more discontent.

    Peter...thank you for your kind words.  You have been very supportive and it is appreciated.

    Gina...I just have a horrible case of the creeping crud again. A bit discouraged as I can't seem to get better.  I wasn't sick when I went to Florida but it seems that its the only time I haven't been sick the past two months.  Stinking chemo...no immune system.   Overworked and overtired LOL.  No more whining from me.

    Slonedeb...I don't think I know you but I'm sending you a hug.

    Good morning Nicki

    Lots of prayers for Ferne.

    Liz..love ya giggle sister.

    Gotta run...I'll be back

    Love and hugs

    Vickie

    Good morning Campers! 

    Peter -- welcome back.  It's nice to see you posting again.  A party sounds fantabulous to me.

    Vickie -- I hope you are feeling better this morning. 

    Sheri -- you really should  check into do more radio if that's what you like to do.  Why not follow your dreams?

    SloneDeb -- I hope this finds you a little better today.  I remember you from chat days.  Gentle hugs.

    AlaskaDeb -- I'm so glad your friends son has been found and is now home.

    Well, just one more day until the weekend.  Thursday is almost as good as Friday on some weeks.  Peter, let's get this party started!

    Hi to all my wonderful sisters!

    Marsha, OMG, I'm too scared!!!  Great costume!!

    Pet, welcome!  Don't be so down on yourself!  We don't care if you think you say the wrong things, you are still welcome to sit by the fire.

    Brenda, prayers for your daughter and her baby.  I just can't imagine how hard this must be on all of you.

    Vickie, great costume!  I hope you are over the creeping crud soon.

    Gina, I'm sorry you are having such a tough time.  Please try and take it easy.

    CY, gentle hugs for you, my friend.  Hopefully you will be done this round of treatment soon and you can get back to living your life!  NED, of course!

    Slonedeb, hugs for you too.  It's probably hemmorhoids, but please call your doc ASAP!!!!  You really can't fool around with rectal bleeding.

    Ok, I'm going to say this just one more time, because Heaven knows, I certainly don't want to be accused of beating a dead horse.  All of you remember what the Circle was when Gina started it.  We were a loving, giving, wonderful group of women.  The discord did not come from within the Circle.  We are still the same as we always were.  If you will all remember, certain people (who will remain nameless) started trouble with a few CGs.  I don't know why.  Maybe jealousy.  Who knows.  But their agenda seemed to be to destroy our beloved Circle.  And it has made all of us very angry.  And has caused others to be banned unjustly.  This same group of women is at the Hamptons.  There is no discord there.  Big surprise, the trouble makers are not there!! 

    Don't let a very few disturbed individuals ruin the Wagon circle for the rest of us.

    Thanks, Alwayshope, for your site, the pics are wonderful :) I wish I could feel comfortable with no hair, and some of the women on your site are beautiful without hair. The problem is, I've never been particularly pretty to begin with, plus the fact that I haven't gotten alot of exercise for a long time now and have gained alot of weight, so with a bald head, I kind of look like Fester on the Adams Family. And feel even less pretty now than I ever have, which wasn't much to begin with. I wish I could be beautiful with no hair, but I've never been beautiful even WITH hair. Alot of people may say, oh, don't say that, everyone is beautiful, but you know, I've just never kidded myself about how I look. It's easier that way.



    Naniam, thanks for your story too :) At almost six weeks past the last chemo (sept 24th), and am losing all of my eyebrows, and my lashes are gone now, it's just depressing. Even with makeup now, I look funny.



    I buess I'm just depressed a little. This has taken so much from me.



    Blessings,



    Gracie

    Gentle hugs, Gracie.  Its hard to go through all the treatment we have to with breast cancer.  It robs us of so much and it just isn't fair that it has to take away our self image too.  Even though its hard to hear or believe, you are beautiful!

    You are definitely not alone.  BCO provides a huge sisterhood that understands what you are going through.  This is the place that 'gets it' like no one else can.  Hang on to hope and joy!

    Gracie, I know I told you this before, but my lashes and brows came out after treatment was done also.  I was devestated.  I expected to lose my hair, but when I still had the brows and lashes at the end, I figured I was home free!  I PROMISE you, they will come back.  It just takes a while.  We do have a saying in the Circle, "I'm beautiful, dammit!"  And you are.

    slonedeb, know that I am praying for you!!!Smile

    I am freaking out right now. I have been having acid reflux on and off for about 2 months and now it burns in that area and painful. Going to Dr today at 3:00--scared out of my mind. I am thinking the worst. I have tried pepcid AC but it doesn't work anymore and EVERYTHING I eat makes it hurt. Even a cup of tea bothers that area. This all started when I was taking the cytoxan pills while doing chemo. My onc told me to take pepcid AC everyday cause those pills can do permanent damage. It was fine for about 5 months after chemo and then it started up. I am so tired of being scared.. I needed to tell someone---thanks for listening.Cry

    Hope all of you have a good day-----hugs.
