please help

Oh AE - so sorry to hear that you are facing another biopsy. Why do some breasts do this! The calcs are most probably benign but it's still a worry for you and no fun to have to be poked and prodded with needles again. Will you have a core biopsy or will they want to do a lumpectomy? I'm sending you my warmest thoughts.

Hugs,

Jane xxx 

Livesstrong - sorry to hear you may have to have another biopsy but your user names says it all you LIVE STRONG.  I am sure you will be able to handle whatever it turns out to be.  Here is me sending you hugs and positive thoughts that everything will be fine.

And to all the other STRONG ladies here BIG BEAR HUGS to all of you. 

AE, I'm so sorry!  What a pain!!!  You said you had some "stuff" show up on your last mammo.  Did you have to have a biopsy then?  I hope you can get in to see the bs sooner.  Waiting is so frustrating.

I'll say extra prayers for you and send tons of positive thoughts your way!  Keep us posted.

Love and hugs,

Karen

Wow Sheila!  That's incredible.  How lucky for you that your dh's schedule was changed.  He must have had a guardian angel looking out for him.

Wren, I have the same sort of connection with Robin Roberts.  I was watching GMA the morning she announced her bc.  Later that morning, I had an appt with my gyn to show her my lump.  She had the same surgery and treatments as me, but she was always a step ahead of me.  She's really been an inspiration for me.

Take care ladies!

Hugs to all,

Karen

Hi Sue!Its 11:00pm there , so I hope you are getting some much needed rest.xxx My onc told me the same thing about my periods. I got them throughout chemo. But when I started tamoxifen , then it stopped , and I haven't had one since Aug.. So I think they tell us that , so if it stops , it won't be a shock. I have read other ladies that had their periods too. So , who knows... Sue , I sometimes wish I would have had a bilateral too. At the time though , I felt why should I when all appeared OK with my left breast. Now , the worry game at times , makes me wish it wasn't there to worry about! I try not to go there mentally. Whats done is done. And most of the time , I am glad I didn't. But my recon breast is bigger than my left. When I go back for nipple recon , I will see if he will do anything to fix it.

I hope you got to watch AI. I think they are in Hollywood next week , aren't they? I like when the competition starts. Hope your work day goes fast tomorrow. Then Sunday , your day of rest.ahhh And oh my gosh Sue , I just thought , this is February , only three more months till May! It will go fast and soon , you will be done with chemo and spring will be hear. And they you get to hear me complain of my ache'in back , from the yard work and spring cleaning!lol Love ya Sue.xxxx

Hi Karen , so glad to hear the good news. Finally , someone called! Gosh , if they only knew how we hate to wait.

No , I didn't know , or don't remember , that you wanted to be a nurse. I think thats great. I have thought of becoming a nurse most of my life , but never did. My dad offered to put me through nursing school when I was out of high school. I wish I would have done it. Now , I feel I am to old to do it. I think you will make a fabulous nurse.xxxx

Auntie Em , I'm so sorry you are yet , going through this once again. Did you have a biopsy for previous cals? They seem to be such a bother for women who have had the bootface , but are usually nothing. My gyn said the older women get , the more calcifications we get. But they have to follow up. I hope it is nothing , but very good docs doing what they are suppose to. Valerie , you are such a sweetheart , I hope you know how dear to all of us you are. You are in my daily prayers. Try not to stress to much. I know it is hard not to. Sending you all my positive vibes.xxxx

Lisa , you're home , yeah!!!! I hope you will feel better as each day passes. Olivia was so sweet to come and post and keep us all updated on your progress. Sorry to hear your computer is down. Can't wait to hear from you again. We miss you!xxxx Love , and , as Shirlann would say "gentle hugs" to you.xxxx

Shirlann , I miss you.  I hope Walt is doing better. Big , big hugs to you and Walt. I am praying for Walt daily. Please let us know when you can , how things are going. Love you Shirlann.xxxx

Hi Sheila , I'm so glad to here your DH is OK. I called my family , who live in McMinnville Tn. which is about 70 miles SE of Nashville. They are all OK. That was so scary and tragic for so many people. Tornadoes are such a devastating thing. We had a "micro burst" hit our house a few years ago , it brought down a tree , on top of our cars , but that was all. I ran to the basement when that happened. I can't imagine what a full force tornado would be like. So scary. My prayers are with all those touch by this devastation.xxxx

Jane , thanks for the update on Lisa. Hope all is well with you and your loved ones.xxxx

Ulla honey , where are you? You know what worry warts we all are! I hope you are OK , and will post soon.xxxx

Hi gb , hope you and your sister are having a good visit.xxxx

Md mouse , thanks for the bear hugs , right back at you!!xxxx

Hi Wren , wow , pregnancy is hard enough , but to be sick for nine months , oh my! God bless your girlfriend and her baby. People like that are such a true inspiration in our lives and I thank God for them.

And as "bittersweet" as it is , I'm glad you can make a positive from bootface. xxxx

Hi to all my sweet sisters.xxxx

Hi Mel!

Your son and his girlfriend sound like great people. I hope they will be right for each other - it's good that they are best friends as well. Sometimes it seems that the right people meet but the timing is wrong or they aren't as well suited as they appear. We so want our children to be happy don't we? I think mine are wary of marriage and are leaving it much later than their parents did to settle down. Well, if that helps them mature and make wiser decisions, it's a good thing. I just fell into marriage the first time without a mature thought in my head! 

Karen, I think you will make a great nurse! Your maturity and life experience will give you so much empathy and understanding. Lucky patients of the future!

I am soooo tired today. I just want to curl up in my bed and sleep. The rain on the roof and the cooler temperatures...very conducive to hibernating.

Thinking of everyone as I knit.

Hugs,

Jane 

Good morning ladies. Hope everyone is off to a good start this weekend. gb , sounds like good sleeping weather to me! We are suppose to get high winds , single digit temps and snow today and tomorrow.Yuck! But I much rather have it on the weekend when I don't have to drive in it.

Lisa , hope your recovering well. I would like to give nordies a read when you are done with it.

I bet Oliver was so happy to see his mama again. I'm sure he will help you in your healing process. Just looking at his sweet little face would put a smile on mine!

Thank you for the update Shirlann. I'm sorry to hear that Walt is still having the dizzy spells. I hope they can find out soon what it is and that something can be done to make him better.

Hi to Mel (brrrr - sounds cold there! My son said it was minus 24 F at one stage in Montana - is that possible or was his brain frozen??), Wren (you are always so affirming), Sue (yippee - it's nearly Sunday for you so you can rest! - and cook!), Ulla (would love to hear from you and know how you are feeling), Dawn (always love reading your posts), Angie (hope you are doing ok with your treatments), Aunt Em (sending you my best wishes for b9 results), Lucy (hope your customers are treating you with respect!), Karyll (you are never forgotten and I often wonder how you are), Karen (when do you have your surgery?), Lisa (hope you are healing well and resting - can't wait for you to post - but no pressure!), Valsul (I think of you often and wonder how you are), Mia (also sending you my best thoughts), Pearl (another wonderful woman), Tender (your wisdom and support is wonderful) and Jane in NY (thank you so much for the update on Lisa) and anyone else I have missed.

Love to all

Jane 

Sue & Lisa,

I sent you both a message.  I met a girl named Hannah.  She lives in Kent England is 25 and pregnant.  She was just diagnosed with BC.  I was asking if you could contact her for support.  If I was out of line or inappropriate I sincerely appologize.  It is just that this girl touched me and needs some good people in her life at the moment.  I immediately thought of you two as you both live in England.

All, please keep hannah in your thoughts and prayers as her treatment needs to wait until she delivers her baby.

thanks.

Hi Sue! I pm you my addy. Sue , get sleep whenever you can. I know it kinda knocks you off your routine , but when you are doing chemo , your sleep patterns get crazy. So anytime you can nap/sleep do it! And you are off tomorrow , yeah. So sleep in.We are suppose to be getting bad weather tonight and tomorrow. I'm so glad it is happening while I am at home and don't have to go anywhere. But we are suppose to have wind gusts over 50 miles per hour. So I get to worry about the tree falling. Hope your having a relaxing bath. xxxx

Hi AE , yes , it has been pretty quiet here today/evening. I miss our visits with Lisa on Saturdays. Hurry and get better Lisa. I miss you!xxxx

Md Mouse , does Hannah have a computer? Can she come here? We would all love to support her. My heart breaks for her. Please let her know I am praying for her.xxxx

Yes gb , it is possible for Montana! I think I saw today on the weather , -16 in Minnasota. Very cold!xxxx
