Thanks, to each and every one of you. For making me feel like I'm not alone in this. I'm not sure what's going on, or why I continue to cry like a baby, even now. But I know I have my sisters here, which I appreciate more than you will ever know.

Love, Lauren

Veggy - I laughed.  My mother has worn a breast prosthetic for over 30 years, and yes chicken cutlet looks about right but hers is a 3-4 pound one.  I never knew how much those things weighed, well, at least hers does.  She is very old school and has one from about 20 years ago.  She can't afford to replace it.

Veggy, one of my high school friends came back to visit her parents and we went out for a day. We were sitting in the parking garage talking about bc, she's had a lumpectomy and I had a mastectomy first time around. Got to talking about prosthetics, looked around (to make sure no one was there) and we both took ours out to compare notes. Yes, we both thought they looked like chicken cutlets too. Oh, and keep on making trouble, its a way to know we're all alive ;)

Lauren I have to say that sometimes its just safer to feel everything when we're at the end of it all. During things we're too busy being positive and strong, moving forward, trying to hold it together etc. When you finally get to take a breath there can be a lot there that needs to be let out.

Hello sugar pies! I've been MIA for a few days...the youngest had two days of college registration and I met with a new doc...didn't sleep much for 3 days and didn't wake up til 3pm today! I've caught up on all the pages and dang this is a busy group!!
Veggy....I work in the yard a lot....excessively I'd say...all for MH. I went a little crazy with it but I Love it....keep diggin darlin'!
Cancer fucking sucks ass....ass sucking cancer - my new diagnosis. I'm telling ya, you all are the most honest and strong people on the planet....Lauren, you too....it feels like hell now but cut yourself all the slack you can....I'm working on that myself. These damn meds, damn ignorant society, damn SE's, damn surgeries...but past that-i fell head over heals for my sisters....see my babies/DH/puppy/Mama/family/friends with deeper care and admiration....and see bullshit with a tolerance level of less than 1%. So, you've grown in ways (maybe not the same as mine) that maybe would have never surfaced. I swear like a mo-fo, sing in line at the grocery store, accepted that I need mental help...when its my turn to push up daisies,I want everyone to know that its all about a good time and no regrets. If I get pissed....fine. if I get silly, fine. If I sleep for 15 hours, then that's the way it is. If I ramble for an hour like I'm Going right now....it could be medication!! I guess what I'm trying to say is...this whole thing is shitty, no one earns or deserves it...but our dignity is ours and Nothing can strip you of that. Be true to yourself...cry when you need to...laugh so hard that people change seats....ok, do not stare into a microwave or purposely heat up anyone's testes.....but, evenif you do, I'd still love ya!
So, I am officially 41 years old. I made it: )
Oh yeah. My new doc is for acupuncture....anyone have any thoughts/experience/suggestions?

There's a lizard in Madagascar that doesn't have eyelids....so it has to lick its eyes to keep them clean....I can't even put in contacts without getting nauseated. But licking them?? Nasty.

Hi fuzzy. I think acupuncture is a great idea. It is very effective for chronic diseases. You will find they refer to things differently, possibly calling tumors Phlegm and mentioning that your Spleen is deficient and causing stagnation. Stuff like that. I was an acupuncturist briefly. I couldn't make a go of it because I am too shy to get out there and get clients. Acupuncture, at least the type I studied, looks at a person holistically. We called that holistic perspective bodymindspirit. Your emotions, your thoughts, your fears, your passions, and your physical strengths and weaknesses are all worked into your diagnosis and treatment. Enjoy your treatments.

Fuzzy .......nothing, not sure I mentioned it, but she had a planned trip to Chicago to see her boys......both live there and work for JP Morgan Chase..........she will be there till Tuesday..........the hosp. she went to only does retakes on Mon, and Fri.....(absurd), and she was too late to have it done while she was here, and was leaving Thursday night, so that left out Friday , and wasn't coming home till Tuesday, so that eliminated the Monday also, so......................she is scheduled for the Friday after she comes home...........way too long for me, but no way was she giving up the trip to see the boys, plus "flights" were already paid for, and could not cancel......(not that she would)...........................so it is a waiting game for now........thanks for asking.

Lauren- for me it was expectations that messed me up too.  I was maad as hell last month because I lost 17 pounds in a few months after yrs of not being able to lose more than 5 in a few.  The expectation was that when I lost weight I would be cuter, I would be exhuberant, I would have more energy.  That is not happening.  The cancer was fueling itself on my fuel, I was losing pounds  and gaining cancer cells.  AND at that point the more weight I lost the less energy I had, and I lost weight and I was now over 50 and thinner.  But then Hubby took a pic of me for his phone and I looked like I was FIVE again, the happiness of our moment shining through.  ME::: Fat, maimed boob, exhausted and loveliness.  It's in there Lauren, look closer, it will be okay, hugs for you.

Fuzzy I had acupucture a few months ago, trained in China for years.  It was quite effective, she  also gave me Chinese herbs to soften then liquify the phlegm that Dunezzz speaks of, said it causes the fibroids, cycts, tumors.  Within two weeks the green bean like fibroid thingee in left breast with the wart like thingee that grew on top of it had disappeared and left a hollow in th healthy tissue.  My colour was better than has ever been in decades, I had good energy and the water weight was down. I have a note on my profile of the Chinese herbs I took for that.  And now, after two months and a huge detox in between the three masses that were growing in cancer side are disappeared as I cannot feel them at all.  i went through intense exhaustion for 10 days or so and they were gone.  I feel a bit better today but had a UVB therapy - ultraviolet light blood transfusion / IV treatment - on Thursday so that could be why. I ssee an onc Monday and will have tests this week, PET/CT and US plus blood and tumor tests to see how it is reading so far, will let you know as I go.

Veggy- Once a hole always a hole - you will find something to plant in those holes if the roses bite the dust.  How about grape tomatoes?  Love heat, don't get diseased like the big tomatoes, ripen quicker and are supposed to be good for most people.  I love tomatoes.

GG - my daughter had a couple rabbits once, the lived under her tree fort but got to visit inside.  One night she forgot to take them out and they spent the night sitting behind the entertainment center munching stereo wires.

Nancy - I am so glad to hear your mom is doing better. Hopefully she will fully recover with time, and we will all pray for her and for you. The sign for SKK is funny - maybe they'll keep and extra good eye on him with that kind of warning!

NANCY, relieved to hear from you and that your Mom is making a recovery.

LOVESSA, what is it with bunnies and speaker wire?  When the male died, to offset the loss for the female, I started letting her into the back den for romps, and husband discovered that's what she had been doing with her newfound freedom.  GG

Thanks so much for your prayers and support...love you guys (gals)!  Shitstorm is dealing with my siblings (brother)...won't go into detail since it really isn't the priority.  Mom is the priority.  

Dune, omg, so sorry about your parakeet.  Fking cancer!  I had an awesome parakeet when I was a kid...loved him so much.  Well, I guess cancer is common with them cuz mine got it too.  We made a small comfy pillow (like the human kind) for him to sit on at bottom of cage since it was too difficult to sit on the perch.  Hang in there...2 weeks is do-able.  You have something to look forward to with not working (in my opinion). 

Will check in at end of the week.

Heart symbols & hugs.
