dogeyed, I feel for you & understand about appointments.  I have not made an appointment with my BS or Onc in 5 months. I need to get mammo in April, so I'd better get my tushie in gear.

Your post made me smile.  I was in your shoes less than a year ago with the hair thing.  I took my wig off end of Feb last year.  My hair was about an inch long, and noticed people stared at me. Felt a little freaky.  I had multiple trims to get the chemo-damaged hair off (have less than 2 inches left of damaged hair - YAY).  Now, I actually like my hair - it's crazy!  It's still short, but more of a bob style.  I'm finding the new hair is somewhat straighter than my former hair was and I'm not sure how to work it.  I was so used to fighting waves and curls pre-chemo.  My point is: yours will be back and there will be many days you won't even think about hair. Hopefully, you will like yours soon.  I have gained weight since my diagnosis and treatments and not happy about it.  

I sent Fuzz a pm with possibilities of what she could be doing aside from taking vacation time.  Hmmm, haven't heard anything yet.  I sincerely hope she is OK.

OH so sorry about you friend, too damn young.  I have had 2 colonoscopys and another in 4 more years.  Found 1 polyop the first time and last Jan of 2011 they found another one down near my appendix.  

Did find my head though.

((((Ducky))))....that's just too many damn cancer encounters in a lifetime.  I'm sorry you & your family had to endure so much.  When the %$&#  are we going to start hearing about serious steps to eradicate all cancers (vaccine, trials for vaccines)??

Mamglam - so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of bugs, love and strength your way.

Ducky - lots of hugs to you too. You've dealth with this stupid disease way too much.

When I went to the MO for the first time I remembered they asked me for a list of immediate family members that suffered from some form of cancer. Unfortunately, the list was way too long. All the grandparents, my father, uncle... Here' to prevention, early detection, and hopefully finding a cure for EVERYONE!!!🍻

I do have to say that I had a really emotional night last night. I am part of the 9/11 health registry and they call every so often for an update. They ask a lot of questions about the last year, month and two weeks. One question was "have you been diagnosed with cancer in the pas 12 months?". I never thought I'd have to answer yes. Then they ask a lot of mental health related questions. Depression, feelings of self doubt, feelings of letting people down. Ugh, I answered yes and often to so many. I think it just hit me last night what a worldwind this has been. I sat in my room and cried for a while... So many emotions about being dx and then about 9/11 came rushing back on this stupid call. I've been avoiding it, but my husband encouraged me to take it... That day was the last thing I needed to think about while im home recovering...

Thans for listening ladies...

Thanks so much for replying, Dogeyed.  I am due to see my plastic surgeon, breast surgeon, who did the mastectomy, AND my pain management doc all by the end of the month, and you've given me some good thoughts, and questions to ask. Good luck with your situation. May we all get answers!!

LOV-ESSA, sweeeeeet duckie!!!  In fact, it just might be...could it be... FUZZY???  I mean, if it looks fuzzy, they eyes are fuzzerly, and quacks like a fuzzy wuzzy, it MUST BE Fuzzy.  {{{{{FUZZY}}}}} 

JEANIE, gosh I hope those docs can figure out WHAT is going on.  I heard another woman talk about how their boob hurts right in the middle, just like you and me.  Maybe it's a standard technique they use to sew up, I have heard of stitches getting infected, of all things.  I'm just glad to hear you'll be seeing all those folks before the month is out, they gotta DO SOMETHING!!!

LAUREN, awwwww, I feel for you.  I think it's good to tap into your cancer emotion, it takes a while to get it all out.  I still get rude awakenings now and then, they just upset me for a few days, but I know it's all part of the deal, the ups and down.  I'm just SO sick of it, tho!!!

Hi Ladies!  

Deb, that sucks.  BC isn't bad enough, you have to worry about polyps too.  Soooo, it was a joke about finding your head....up your a#$% ?  Sorry, there have been so many sensitive people posting on the forums this past couple of weeks.  I'm almost afraid to post now, not wanting to offend anyone.  Well hell, you deserve a big hug ((((Deb))))
