    YAY!!!  The "L" word has been dropped!    

    Aaaahhhh.....young love.  Everything is so new and sweet.   Your budding relationship makes me smile, Marin.  It also helps me to look at my own relationship through "new" eyes, if that makes sense.   

    Things can get stale after 6 years if you let it!   My dh needs to know that I still get that excited feeling when I hear him come home at night.  

    aaahhh......

    The L word?  Cool!  And what a way to slip it in the conversation.  Like it's a given.  :)

    Take care,

    Hello Marin,

    new here, but have been reading your thread, and I found it moving. I am very happy for you - he sounds like a really good guy, and what he wrote to you is very thoughtful - and if you ask me, downright poetic.

    What will be in the future is not more valuable than what was... very true. We all know how much. Here and Now are so much more relevant - and it is a helpful approach to fear.

    As some say, the only condition 100% deadly is life...

    All the best for your scans. You deserve some happy time! a whole long life of happiness actually :)

    Waiting to hear some good news on the CT scan. And even without results, I know you two will have a good weekend relieving your tensions and exploring 'young love'. Kiss

    NO METS!!!!!!! YAY!!!! My onc nurse just called to say that my liver is "in great shape," my lungs show no evidence of cancer but the upper left lobe does show fibrosis from radiation damage, BUT the scan also saw some "asymmetry" in the right breast. Because CTs aren't good tests for BC, I need to have a diagnostic mammo tomorrow and, possibly, an MRI. She said that my breasts are very dense and hard to read. And apparently the asymmetry could mean anything from the right doesn't look like the left (duh) to indicating damage & scar tissue from old biopsies. So, truthfully, I'm hardly worried at all, though I'll be relieved when/if I get clean results from the mammo. Oh, the trials we endure with this effing disease!

    Thank you all again, SO, SO MUCH, from the bottom of my heart (and lungs and liver!) for you support, prayers and positive thoughts. And OMG, get this y'all....J emailed this morning with these words..."Thoughts of you pass through my being as regularly as heartbeats."  Sigh...how lucky am I to have friends like you AND a man like that?

    You're so poetic with your man.  Do you guys talk to each other in person that way?  I love it.

    I'm so happy. I relate to you in some sense. We're both "middle aged" and single and not ready to give up on life and love. Thank you for letting us know you're going to be ok!!

    OK, so I started celebrating a bit too soon...BUT I still don't have mets, so that's awesome AND I may not even have a recurrence. Then again....I had a bajillion mammos this morning (and can barely touch my breast it was yanked and squished so dramatically!) and then an ultrasound that felt like the radiologist was trying to cut me open with the rolling thing. OY! Anyway, they see something "suspicious" in my cancer-affected breast and I'm scheduled for a biopsy next Tuesday (they were all booked up today or I would have gotten it over with). Thy did say that it could be a lymph node or a fatty necrosis from the lumpectomy, but they didn't sound too convincing. Anyway, though I'm certainly not thrilled, I know what needs to happen next if I have a recurrence. And it's NOT mets....I keep reminding myself of that.

    I'm sort of back to my original post here...not that I want to break up with J, but I'm not sure I want to stay with him this weekend for fear I'll be a stone-crasher. I think I'll clean the house and see how I feel later. I usually can't stay in a funk for very long....there's too much fun to be had Laughing!

    {{Marin}}}

    You know the odds are that it is related to your surgery, don't you?  Your docs are great to get you in so fast for the biopsy.  Tuesday will come soon enough.  You should do what ever makes you most comfortable this weekend, but I suspect that J will want to see you no matter what.

    Wishing you the best.

    well i had my first dx with a lumpectomy and rads every year after that for the first 7 they would always see something on the sono and have me do a biopsy and torture me for a few days and it was always surgery or scar tissue related- they told me it takes quite a few years after surgery to get a new baseline

    BIG HUGS and heres to scar tissue!!!!  please try and focus on that and have some fun
