Hello Ladies,

Had my one year checkup.  Onc ordered tons of labs, all NED!!  It's starting to feel like it was all just a bad dream.

Great to hear Paula! I have my next screening in a few weeks. I have not had anything done since chemo except blood work really. No aches or pains or reason to worry though.

 So just found out that we are most likely going to bring the car to a Rock Festival In Atlantic City New Jersey in June. Waiting to see the contract when we get back next week. We would most likley spend a few days in visiting family on Long Island, So if anyone is up for a NYC trip I could spend a few days visiting with you all.

Maybe we all should meet in June. Yay! That would be fun! But we can arrange it via FB too. What is the music festival called Carrol?

Yeah, I am not a Metallica fan either. I was just curious. Anyway, would love to see you and others as well.

Lovely to hear from all of you.  Carrol, would love to come to NY!  I'm in Tiff's boat tho, have a trip planned to Maine, and cannot afford both.

So happy to hear everyone is doing so well.  I wish on that lucky star that we all continue to get good outcomes from our checkups.

OK it's official we actually got the gig in Atlantic City New Jersey. Gonna have the car at a car show that contains all cars that belong to rock stars at a Metallica concert. I don't even know any of the music lol. Anyhoo we will be on the east coast June 22-25 probably going to mix in a visit to see friends and family in NYC either before or after the concert. So if anyone wants to plan a get together let me know.

I agree mum there is not much we can do for the girls who did not make it through all of this but remind ourselves how lucky we all are every day and not waste a moment on trivial nonsence. I was so angry tonight that I got pulled over and got a speeding ticket. But you remind me to slow down, stop rushing every where. I don't know why I do that.

Taking a deep breath and moving on in their honor.

survivor first time I am posting that I will be there don;t know anyone else from here that is from NY. It would be nice to get a group together and at least have a nice dinner and get to know each other.

Mum I think it happens for some but something that shouldn't be ignored if it continues. I wish I were down under so I could give you a hug. I think you just need someone to remind you every so often that your are NED.

♥ ♥ ♥

I also think you might need to slow down. You just might be a bit too stressed.

Thanks Girls. Well since that I have broken a bone in my foot and yes Carrol,like you I am feeling pretty flat about my weight. Roll on 3 weeks when I will be in my new house and settled again for the first time in nearly a year. Lago...I think you are probably right xxx

ok girls you have motivated me to start tracking what I eat. it's the only way to keep myself accountable. Gotta work 1:30-9:30 so that is a long time to be on my feet so I am not going to go to the gym. Working 36 hours this week that should keep me from eating too. Also trying to get this darn house clean.

mum Congartulations on your new home!

Mum - I have to say that I am going through the same ups and downs.  I have a lot of unfocused anger too. I don't really like how I am right now and I find myself feeling angry towards those "happy" people, lol!

Lago is likely right - like you, I'm running around like a maniac and stress levels are a little high.  I am competing for a spot on the national dragon boat squad (which should be a good thing), I'm crazy busy at work, my daughter just had heart surgery so I'm a nurse at home, I barely see my husband......aaaaaaarrrrrgggggghhh.  I can't even find the time to cuddle with my kitties

hello ladies,
I have had 3 doses of abaxane,butdoes not seem to be working so well, the liver function numbers went down some after the 1st infusion,then they started climbing. So, now I will be getting a new port, and then be starting gemzar. I will get this one weekly for 3 week,and then have a week off. I did start on short term disability last week,and that will continue through at least the middle of July. All of this because I was having a little hip pain.
