    Hey dear Sue, now listen to Karen, and take a day off.  You need to gather up your strength for the other days.  Just stay in bed.  I know it is hard, I wish I could come and take care of you and the boys.  Dang planet, just too big.

    Love you, honey, Shirlann

    Our Sue must be feeling down - she has posted very little tonight.  I hope she is in bed, snug under the covers sound asleep.

    And Sue, listen to your friends -  STAY HOME tomorrow!!! 

    Sweet dreams,

    Aunty Em

    Good evening sisters!

    I had a terrible day.  Just one of those days, where nothing goes right! Glad it's almost over.  The sink is still leaking..so we are not using it.  Thank goodness for my downstairs bathroom, I can use that sink.  I have to call a plummer tomorrow.  Olivia is still pretty sick, and now I am feeling, headachy, neck hurts and some chills.  Very tired too! Dang...I can't get sick!! If I do, I have to be 100% by my surgery day.  Olivia slept most of the day, and has already gone up to bed (7:15pm).  I am headed there in a little while.  I start work at 5:30am tomorrow!

    Our temps are to be dropping dramatically by this weekend.  Highs of 15!!

    Sue, I do hope you are taking the day off tomorrow and that you are feeling better.  Glad you liked idol.

    Karen, I thought last night was really funny too!  I agree...I told Liv...I think Simon has softened!! He has been so much nicer.

    Ok...I am going to take my achy body and say goodnight!

    xoxo

    Lisa - a 5.40am start! And you are sick! Any chance of you having a day off? I will start lecturing you young lady! Poor dear girl - you must be well for your surgery next month.

    Poppy - what an eventful night! You must be so tired. Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

    Sue, I have to get bossy again now. (Well, I'll tone it down a bit!) Please take Friday off!! Please, pleasepleasepleaseplease!! You need to rest and get better. I hate to think of you working while you are sick. Precious girl - look after yourself!!

    I am looking after Oliver again this weekend. I love going to my friend's house. When I walk in the door it's restful, quiet and beautiful and her bath is beautiful - I can't wait to have a bubble bath. My bath is a funny shape  but hers sort of cradles you and I can go to sleep without falling under the water. And Oliver is a sweet cat - can get my pet fix.

    Hope you all have a great/restful/healing weekend - take your pick!

    Love to all,

    gb

    Good morning,

    Sneaking a hello in from work.  Gb...I am feeling so much better today..I got a long sleep last night.  I sprayed my daughters room with lysol and washed my hands a ton yesterday.  So hopefully, I will stay healthy.  She just called my (6:30am) and is  still very sick, so I called her off of school.

    It's a busy day here at work..everyone traveling out for the long weekend.

    Poppy...you did have quite a day at work!

    Ill check back with everyone later today.

    I hope you all have a great day and a good weekend!

    It will be a cold one here!!

    xoxo

    We survived the 3 inches of snow yesterday, there is still a a little bit left hanging around. the temps now is hovering around freezing. They are calling for more white stuff tonight! and Donald will not be getting home until tomorrow in the next round of snow.

    Sue, Please take care and rest, that is the only way you will get over this cold.

    Lisa, sorry to hear Olivia is still sick. Hope you don't catch it.

    I need to get back to work as well.

    Grrrr!  Sue!!  You had better be in BED!  You promised you'd stay home today if you were still sick.  If you're not either in bed or feeling completely well, you are in huge trouble, Missy!!

    Lisa, I'm sorry you had such a bad day yesterday.  Hope today's starting off better.  I'm glad you're feeling better.  Poor Olivia just can't seem to shake it, can she?  Hopefully, if she gets plenty of rest and some TLC for her dear mommy over the weekend, she'll be all better by Monday.

    Wow, Poppy.  You had quite an exciting day at work yesterday, didn't you?  I hope today's an uneventful one.  I don't think you could handle any more drama (or wouldn't want to, anyway).

    Good morning to all the rest of you--Aunty Em, Shirlann, Sheila, Melody, gb, Wren, Mia, and anyone I may have forgotten.  Ulla, where are you sweetheart?  You know we worry about you.  Please post a quick one to let us know how you're doing.

    I'll check back in later.

    Hugs,

    Karen

    There are many ways to be helped just have hope!! My mother used transfer factor plus which is a product that helps kill cancer cells when she was diagnosed her second time a couple months before getting her biopsy test done she started using it... when the day of the test came the cancer dissolved into water and became nothing Have hope!! You can find it at 6358718.my4life.com

    Poppy, you sure have had a rough two days! At least I just answer the switchboard and pass the call onto Customer Service to deal with the irate customers. Though I do have an emergency switch to push if someone threatning comes in the lobby that rings several men in the office to come running, I have not had to use it yet.

    I don't know what that is above my entry, I have reported it as inappropriate.

    Live-Life480,

    It's against the rules of the board to sell & promote products.  However, if you would like to discuss the success your mother had with this product (without promoting it), I'd suggest that you post in the "Alternate, Complementary and Holistic Treatments" forum. 

    All I know is that there sure isn't anything out there that makes cancer dissolve into water!!

    To all those newly diagnosed, you'll find lots of hoaxes out there - people who are trying to make money off those who have cancer.  I'm not saying that this is the case in this situation, but please, don't get sucked in!!

    Ulla, glad to see you posted and you have one chemo left. It will take time for all the chemicals that they put in your body to fully leave and you will get back your strength and get to a new feeling of normal. But the Chemo is helping to get rid of all the cancer that may be in your body.

    Everyone have a great weekend.

    Dear Everyone xxx

    I hope you are ok. I want you to know that I have hit a major brick wall with this bootface...I am so down so so so down that I had visions of ending it all as I drove home from work. I have no energy I am in constant pain with my scar, I presume the bootface wont take long to grow on my chest wall ... so whats the point.

     I am p ssed off to say the least. It is difficult to take sick leave at the moment as they will probably put a releif manager in and then I will lose my job. If I lose my job I will have lost half of my life as you know I thrive on work and love my job. No one else will employ me . I have chemo on Tuesday...whats the point .... I have lost the fight ...you win bootface ...take me do whatever...you cant hurt me if I die...

    Ladees I am not wanting to upset you but I am not posting on this dearly loved thread anymore...I am not a brave person...I have given in and have no right on here .... Please all take care of yourselves and each other ... and remember I love you all xxx

    Much Love xxx

    I'll be back!

    We love you Sue!  What the heck do you mean by not wanting to upset us?  Of COURSE we'll be upset if you stop posting.  Don't make me come over there and whomp you!

    Sue, omigod!

    I haven't posted to you here before, but I read almost all this thread on New Year's Eve.

    Sweetie, you are so loved.  And your boys need you.  And you know how often you have told OTHERS not to be ashamed of feeling scared and needing help.

    I hope you are finding someone to tell you that your despair is not reasonable.  It is a desperate feeling and I hope you are with some one who can put that feeling to sleep and awaken the feeling of gentle hope.

    I love you from reading your brilliant posts, without ever having met you or even having exchanged notes before! 

    Please come back!  Please know that your despair is cyclical and will pass -- your despair is a bootface, too!  Maybe the worst bootface of all. 

    You have a horrible cold, and you're having chemo.

    Please try to just bundle yourself up and take tiny, tiny steps.  Stay right here and right now.  Please don't run ahead looking for trouble!  I think the people at your job love you.  Everyone must be in awe of how hard you've been working.  Besides, there must be laws against firing people with cancer.  There are such laws in the U.S. and we're horribly backward that way!  And even if one bad prediction were to come true, it's not possible that no one else would employ you.

    Even though you don't know me, I'm sending hugs and prayers your way.  All the more so, I'm sure, from people you do know.

    You can be weak.  Let all the others who love you give back the strength you've expended on their behalf.

    Suzy-QSmile , where are youuuuuuuuu? I know you haven't been feeling well. Maybe you needed some down time. Just want you to know , we are thinking of you and are here , waiting to hear how you are doing.xxx Keep trying to get as much rest as you can. I know you have a strong constitution when it comes to working , but please , take care of yourself. I hope you and Zippy are all curled up together catching some zzzs. Hope Zip isn't snoring to loud!xxx

    Hi Lisa , so sorry to hear Olivia is still sick. Poor little thing.Has she seen the doc yet? I hope she is better real soon. I am having some kitchen sink problems too. Not as bad as yours yet , but luckily , We can call the landlord. I hope the plumber isn't too costly to fix your problem. But hey , maybe you'll get to see his butt-crack when he bents over and get a good laugh!lolxxx

    Poppy , wow what a night. And then , coming it this am to another deranged idiot on the phone message. I guess its never a dull moment for you at work. People need to get a grip! Hope things get better!xxx

    Hi gb , nice that you'll be house sitting again and can have some comfly kitty company and a nice bubble bath. Ahhhh , that sounds wonderful. But We'll miss you while you are there.xxx

    Hi Ulla,xxx I am always thinking of you and praying you get through your last treatment with little discomfort. Remember , last tx wasn't as bad as the one before. Hopefully this one will be the least painful but the most memorable as being the last!! I wish you beautiful , calming peace my sister.xxx

    Sheila , try and stay warm this weekend! Me and Lisa too. We are gonna get snow starting tonight and the temp is gonna drop to single digits tomorrow night! Brrrrrrrrr! Hope Donald makes it home safely.xxx

    Well , I have to work tomorrow. 5amto9am. I just hate having to work Saturdays. I like my two days of sleeping in! Oh well , I can use the extra money. Lisa , we better get our long-johns out for the weekend! I think this will be the coldest its been this winter for us.  Maybe it will freeze some of the germs that has so many people sick right now.

    Karen and Auntie Em ,  hope you both had a good day and all is well. Everyone , have a good weekend.xxx Melody

    Sue,

    There is a saying "winners never quit and quitters never win".  I have been reading this post for a long time and I can say without a doubt you are a winner not a quitter.  As you say you "hit a brick wall" you need to turn around a find another way out of that maze.  Part of you has made that turn by posting here, we need the rest of you so we can guide you back to the yellow brick road to Oz.

    You have a lot going on but you also have a lot to live for.  Your little boys need their mother.  Not just now but when they are grown.  I know because I still need my mom but unfortunately she passed a few years ago. All children need their moms no matter what their age.

    Please let those who have gone down your same journey help you.  I don't know what you are going through as my diagnosis is very different but I do know you need to remain positive and keep picturing yourself how you will be when all your treatmeant is complete.  Make plans for what you want to do when this part of your life is over and concentrate on that and your boys.

    One thing I have found out through my journey is my health, my family then my job.  That is my order of precendence in my life because if I don't take care of me, then I can't be there for others when they need me.

    Dawn

    CrySueCryPlease don't give up. Don't give in to your fears and sorrows , please. Remember , they took the boilin bag bootface out in Sept.. Clear margins , no lymph nodes involved. You don't have the bootface anymore. Stop letting it invade your mind. Gosh Sue , we love you so much. And it wouldn't be the same here without you. So many leave us because they have no choice , please don't chose to leave us.

    Your boys need you Sue. Remember how you felt when MIL was doing her thing. You were so upset and angry. Remember , know one can love your boys like you can. You are in a very dark place Sue. And you have to pull yourself from it now.

    And what about work? Believe me Sue , no employer , is going to fire a employee who is having tx for cancer. It just doesn't happen. But that darn dark place is making you think beyond logic and has you feeling all the fears and sorrows. Please Sue , get out of that place now. I am here , and I'm not going anywhere. My arms are around you and I am holding you my dear sister.((((((((((((((((sue))))))))))))))).

    Don't go, Sue. Please stay, please vent, please live.



    It's another hurdle which you have to cross over: the confab of the job, your cold, the short days and nights, the post mastectomy pain, the pending chemotherapy all are creating that brick wall in your mind.



    One foot in front of the other, and you'll find away around this hurdle.



    We're here to help. Heck, if we have to, they'll be a contingency knocking on your door, I'm sure.

    Cry  I love you all xxx This is so hard for me leaving this site, but I am so low now that nothing will stop bootface, it is slowly destroying my life. I try to ignore the pain, I try to be brave , but deep down I have no strength left because it has infiltrated my whole life it has washed all over my head, I am not even sick of it , I just want out right now, it makes me so tired the thought of another 6 months of chemo and for the past 3 nights I have had major hot flashes that have woke me up because I have been literlally wet through with them, and it is very scarey to me. I didnt want to be 38 and doing this...38 one day and youthful and bang next day I was dead ...the life I had was obliterated.

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME I FEEL LIKE AN EMPTY SHELL...

    I am going to bed...I am so numb tonight ....

    I am very sorry , I will always hold you all dearly in my heart...you have been the best sisters to me EVER .... xxx

    Sleep tight everyone xxx

    Hi everyone!! I am home from work...and just caught up with your posts!

    Melody...Olivia is feeling better, still coughing, and sick...but much better than yesterday. She called her manager at Subway to tell her she couldn't work today..she said...I will need a doctors excuse!! What?? Get real lady!  Anyhow, Olivia said, you can talk to my mom, I did not go to school, I can't work.  See...she needs a manager like Sue!   Olivia never calls off work, these 2 days, first time.

    I do have a call into the plumber, I hope he calls me back soon!  I laughed so hard reading about the sight of a plumbers crack...haha..!! Thanks for the big Smile!

    Sue...I can't say anymore than what the others said, especially Mel...she put it perfectly.  We DO understand your fustrations, saddness and fear...but IT WOULD NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU HERE!!!!  Please remember, we love you, and we are here for you through thick and thin..sweetie...that's how it is. Your report after your surgeries were good!  Do you realize that with NO node involvement...that is HUGE!!! Margins clear...Wonderful...bootface is getting his A*# kicked by the chemo.  Even though it is taking it's toll on you as well...it is killing any sign of cancer that may have been in your body!! Please have faith, and stay here with us!

    Come on Sue...who else is going to kid with me about my alcoholism...HAHA!!!

    I am posting a picture of me and Matthew, my grandson...he is 3 today!!! I love him so dearly!

    The second one is of my daughter (his birthmom) and him.

    This was taken at my wedding (uggh) when he was almost 2.

    He was much younger here...but I love this pic of the two of them!
