Hi, is there anyone from the NY area?  I live in Rockland county, which is about 45 minutes from NYC.  Would love to see how many NY bc sisters there are.

    Hi--

    I just got back to Japan two days ago, but I was in Yorktown Heights in Westchester Cty. for five months for treatment.  Most of my treatment was in Mt. Kisco.  Rockland's just a hop, skip, and a jump!

    Hi Lynn,

    Good to hear from you.  Wow, Japan!  Was that for business or pleasure?  I traveled there over 30 years ago.  Just loved it.

    I see you were dx in 7/07, Mine was the end of March 07.  I just finished with my last chemo treatment on 11/12/07, thank god!!!!  I had IDC and DCS, 0/6 nodes, Stage I.    I went to Sloan and had a mastectomy which was in May 07.  It has been a long process and I am going to start with Arimidex next month.  Please let me know if you are finished with treatment and how you are doing.  Hope we can talk and maybe meet someday.  Regards

    Hi,


    Candie1971, Thank you for inviting me to the Dec 1st. get together.  I won't be able to make it but would love to be kept on the list for future meetings.

    Jdash, No, I didn't have any of the same doctors as you.  I had Dr. Sacchini - he is from Italy, lovely man.  My onco is Dr. D'Andria.  Lets try to keep in touch and maybe in the spring plan for some get together for NY area girls.  

    Here come the holidays!  On line shopping sounds good this year.  Had last chemo 11/12/07 and still very tired!!

    All the best to both of you!

    Hi Felicia,

    You are very close.  My husband works in Middletown.  Maybe after the holidays we can plan to meet for lunch someday?  I could meet you somewhere up there.  Are you done with treatments? 

    I know some bc sisters try for meetings every few months.  I was invited to join a group from NJ but the date was a conflict. 

    Let me know what you think about doing lunch.  Take care and be well.

    Benita, I'm not quite as far up as Oneonta. I'm only about an hour north of NYC - near West Point...

    Ha, MB, your weekend camping neighbor is right!  LOL  

    I think you're getting swamped with snow, much more than we're getting.  The ski resorts will be thrilled!

    Hi Camazur,

    You are very close to me - about a half hour ride.  I live in Rockland county. 

    I just finished chemo on 11/12/07 and will start Arimedix in January.  Where are you in treatment?  How are you doing? 

    I was hoping to keep this tread going so when Spring comes we can plan a get together.  Take care.
