Dear Wendy, I was just thinking yesterday of sending a post out to you wondering how you were doing and here you are!!  You must have found a MO since you are starting chemo soon - did you go with the Dr. from Roswell on the Amherst campus?  I know I have seen on other threads the suggestion that you join a group starting chemo when you are so you can go through it "together", if there isn't one yet you can start one by posting a new topic, "Anyone starting chemo in ____".  We certainly don't want to lose you, as you can tell we have two members who go to LeRoy quite easily, I was referring to the Depot restaurant that you like so well, when I suggested the good restaurant in LeRoy.  During the winter we schedule our luncheons still on a monthly basis, but they are subject to weather conditions.  We were quite lucky in the weather department last year and never missed a luncheon, hoping for an easy winter this year.  Where you live are you in the path of Lake Effect snow?, I know Batavia is out of range for Lake Effect from Lake Erie.  Keep letting us know how you are and you are right, it is a very warm group but we are eager to meet you.  At luncheon we were guessing your age from your avatar, guesses for 20's and early 30's, were we on target?, see you are part of the group already!  Karen

Hi Karen and everyone,

Thank you so much for that wonderful note!  And I love you for the age guess!  I'm 45!  I got a new dooo when hubby took that photo in the Spring.  I think that the dooo made me look younger.  I also am a runner and have always tried to be in really good health (go figure - dumb luck I guess).   I'm getting the chemo cut next Wednesday :-(.

I do have a chemo plan with Pluta cancer center here in Rochester.  Staff are all so nice and what I wanted was to start ASAP - 4 - 6 post BMX. I liked Roswell's plan but given that I will still work, I don't think I could make the Buffalo trips.  It has been a very tough decision and believe it or not I have kept one last MO consult for informational purposes.  I feel like a traitor but my health is most important.  Today I got the port installed - ouch!

Yes I love the restaurants in Leroy!  I don't mind travel at all.  I enjoy it actually so I do hope to join you wonderful ladies sometime.

Have a magnificent Thanksgiving!!!!

Wendy

Hi all, Maureen, they are 2 steps beyond stink, I had it on for awhile but when he started overthrowing everyone again, I started reading and muted the game.  Then I had to pick up my DGD and it was over, I was spared the sight of him throwing yet another interception in that fourth quarter.  He should be paid minimum wage for what he does, or is that what he doesn't do?  Then they have a commercial detailing why we should still be fans and "lead the charge" HA!!!1

Bevin, last year was the first time I had gone. I thought it was an appropriate, inspirational performance, but have nothing to compare it to. I had heard the living singing Christmas tree was spectacular,but had never seen it. This years performance is called America's Got Christmas and sounds like it's modeled after America's Got Talent? Here's a link to the show:

Hi all,  lunch info sent in PM.  If you didn't receive info and want to join for lunch, just PM and I'll send along information.

Hope everyone is well and progressing through the holiday prep.  I'm doing well.  Have to mention, Karen sent me a email about Mrs. Brown and her dog, if you didn't see it, ask her to send it,  I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.  Of course my son overheard and had all his friends watch too, good thing they are adults. 

Hope to see everyone soon.

Love,

Maureen

Jan, I love Colonial Williamsburg, used to stop there when my stepson was going to ODU in Norfolk.  Great place to eat and shop, the atmosphere during the Christmas Season must be amazing.  What is the Grand Illumination?  See you all soon, hugs, Karen

Jan. Have fun and hug Nora for me...one of my favorite people. Enjoy you've earned it. Finally found a new centerpiece for dining room at the Brim craft show. I wasn't carrying my purse and asked the lady if she'd hold it for me. She gave me the centerpiece and her card and told me to send her a check! !! Couldn't believe it the cost was 50.00 dollars. Beautiful and so very nice of her to trust someone she doesn't know. Sent the check the next day. Results.from doc good tumid markers great. Won't stress again till Feb.
