    Wow..is all I can say!! I have been away for a few days, and I have tried to read all the post..but there were 68 of them!!

    It was very hard to get on the computer with all 3 girls at home.  Not to mention things were busy with work, parties, dinners, and entertaining..and just plain old chillin!!

    Sue..I do hope you are doing better.  We all understand those down days and feeling like what will 2008 bring me?? I personally am excited for this year.  I have to look at it positively...I feel like 2007 was the year from hell!! Cancer, chemo..and a divorce right in the middle!  You my dear are going to FINISH your tx's this year..that is a positive!! Also, when you are done...we can make plans for a visit..all of us somewhere!! Wouldn't that be wonderful?!  I would love to see all of you fantastic sisters here! I love you all!!

    Melody...is it still snowing there?  We got quite a bit and it is cold!!

    Poppy...hope you are not as sore as you were. 

    Oh my, I am at work, and tired as ever.  It's been a busy day.  I am glad I have tomorrow off.  I need your prayers sisters...I have my mammo for my breast that is left tomorrow!! Say a prayer that it is all ok, because any problems and they will have to postpone my surgery.  Cross those fingers!

    Sue...I don't have a prothesis..but I do have what is called a fluffy.  I wear a special bra with the "fluffy" inside the bra.  I could not go without something..I am a D cup!!  It works.  I have been using it since October.

    ok..I am trying to remember everyone's posts..and darn it..I have a huge brain fart!! I can't remember hardly anything...I think I need some sleep.

    xoxo

    Lisa....I am sending you all my deepest love for your mammo....Imagine me there and giving you reassurance in your ear....xxx

    David is my eldest...I have such a very strong bond with him....he has always had the x factor in kindness and thoughtfulness....we are mirror image....and he even has my small cute ears lol....

    We will probably get some console games tomorrow for dans ds lite and daves pc....but most of all I will start to treasure every moment with them xxxx

    I have a day off tomorrow....have to go docs at some point and chase the child support agency for exs maintenance....and then I will look into prothesis....I need to move on in that regards...not wait til treatmetn ends....it might "PERK" me up a bit...no joke intended...

    I am going to rest now and read...have a lovely rest of your day Lisa...I send many prayers for tomorrow   xxx

    Much Love xxx

    Lisa- Good Luck tomorrow.  God those appointments are stressful aren't they???  I'm sure your one good boob will do fine!!!  LOL.  Keep us posted.

    Thanks Val and Sue for your good wishes.  Sue, I will think of you whispering in my ear tomorrow.  When I smile during the mammo..the tech might think I am a bit odd! haha.

    My eldest is the same as your David.  Very much like me and has so much love and compassion for people. Your boys are both absolutely adorable!!

    I decided not to get my prothesis, since I didn't have to have rads, and I am getting my reconstruction done in Feb. the "fluffy" suits me just fine.  It is light in weight, so sometimes I have to adjust, but everyone tells me how "real" it looks.  I could never go without, since I am so busty.

    Are you planning reconstruction Sue?

    Good luck with your child support.  My ex is so far behind...I don't think he will ever get caught up!! I haven't had a penny from him since April 2007.  I sure could use it now.

    Having to stay late at work, delays on flights.

    I will try and check in tomorrow on my day off, and I'll let you know how the mammo went!Surprised

    xoxo

    Good luck tomorrow, Lisa.  I'll say an extra little prayer for you tonight.  I don't imagine mammograms will ever be non-anxiety provoking again, will they?  Sigh.....

    Have a wonderful, relaxing day off tomorrow, Sue.  Try not to worry so much, sweetheart.  You are going to be around for a long, LONG time!  Do you have any idea how many prayers are said for you every single night??  God wouldn't DARE take you from us!!  We love you!!

    Love and hugs,

    Karen

    Hugs,

    Karen...how are you?? I hope you had a great mini vacation?!  How was it? Was it as beautiful as the pics?

    When is your next tx?  How many left for you?

    Sorry, full of questions.

    Thanks for your well wishes.  I don't think a mammo will ever be the same!  Well..I was the bad girl who had never had one, till I HAD too!!

    xoxo

    Lisa, many prayers and good wishes to you for tomorrow. I know its scary but it will soon be over and you will look be able to look forward to your reconstruction in Feb - great perky boobs are not far away!

    Sue, I had a "fluffy" for months after my mastectomy and when I first got my silicone number, it felt pretty strange but I am so used to it now and you can't tell the difference when I am dressed. It is nice to feel balanced but when I am at home, cleaning, like I am today, I go without a bra and that feels ok too. If anyone comes to the door I will swing a towel over my shoulder!

    David sounds like a darling. He must be such a support to you. There is often one child that feels like your soulmate - my eldest is probably the one I am closest to. My 3 sons just rang me from Bali, the dear things. The middle one will be back on Sunday but the other two are just beginning their travels. I miss them but love hearing about their adventures. There is a bond that goes beyond distance. 

    Hugs (extra ones for you Lisa)

    Hi Lisa! We have missed you here. Good luck tomorrow. I have everything crossed! You are in my prayers. I am sending positive vibes to envelop you and carry you through your mammogram. You will be fine. And surgery is just around the corner. We're all with you sister! Love you and lots of hugs.xxxxxxxxxxx Melody

    Lisa, Leavenworth was even prettier than any picture.  I've been there many times (mostly when I was a kid because my parents took us there a lot), but this was the first time I went there when it was actually snowing.  It was SO beautiful.  I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

    My next tx is a week from today.  I'll have one left (on Jan 30) after that.  After that, I have surgery scheduled for a bladder sling--I know, I'm a MESS, aren't I?  Then I start rads.  I'll be done with everything by early spring.  I'm going to need a serious vacation when it's all over and done.

    Take care all--Sue, gb, Melody, Valerie, Poppy, and everyone else I've forgotten.  Where's Ulla these days?

    Hugs,

    Karen

    Oh yes and I asked my doc about prothesis etc...and she said I would def get one on the NHS ..... I will wait til I speak to Claudia and ask her....I couldnt face speaking with her today ..... she makes me feel sad and she makes me cry...must be a counselling skill....But I am glad I have broached the subject....and not just letting it go as usual...xxx

    Hi everyone.  I was hoping that Lisa had checked in by now.  Liiiissssaaaa, where are you???? 

    Sue, those pictures are precious!  Your boys are adorable!  The picture of chubby baby David made me smile from ear to ear.  We love our boys, don't we?  The girls are great too, but there's a reason why they call them "momma's boys".

    Here is a picture taken of me and Chase in Leavenworth.  It was so beautiful.  I want to go back!  They're expecting more snow tonight.

    Love and hugs to all!

    I'm also waiting to hear from Lisa.  Lisa, you don't want Aunty Em after you - just ask Sue.  lol

    And Sue, so you like the image of me working my butt off, do you???   Next time I go to my Subway here I'll think the same of you!!!  Wink

    By the way, love,love, love the pics.  I just want to hug ALL of you. 

    Will check back later to see if Lisa posted.

    Sue, Karen

    Your pictures are adorable, dont you just love the chubby baby stage!

    It makes me want another baby, then  I see a mother with a screaming child in my shop and I think hmmmmmmmm maybe not!

    It is nice having a little mate that you can have a proper chat with and watch grow.

    Yes Lisa where are you? Ulla we are looking for you too!!!!!!!!!
