Hi girls,

I am trying to load a new avatar and I cannot.  Has anyone else ever had a problem?  I think it says something about wrong image type.  I am doing the same thing I have always done in the past.

Thanks.

Annie,

Now you are freaking me out!  I called my oc's office about four weeks ago complaining of pain on my ring finger.  It hurt bad, especially when pressed, and here was a little bump.  The oc's office told me they never heard of anyone having mets in the finger.  I am happy to tell you that the pain has completely disappeared.  It did take about 8 weeks. 

I have been getting back into my pre-bc workout routine and yoga once a week, and do have some ankle pain and hip pain.  Not even bad eough for pain reliever and if I did not have bc, I may not even give them a second thought.  I did mention it last week at the oc's and they did not seem alarmed, especially since I am working out more.  If these areas are still bothering me after the new year, I may ask for scans.

Annie, I cannot tell you how often you are in my thoughts.  Please take care.

Hi Annie,

I have Anti-Cancer also.  I am also reading Love, Medicine and Miracles by Dr. Bernie Siegel.  He has some other books, which I have not read yet, including:  Peace, Love & Healing; and, How to Live Between Office Visits.  He found a group called ECaP (Exceptional Cancer Patients).  Also I have to read something light and fun in between these books.

Guess Who?, a take on the original "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner".

Little Big Man

Watson,

I was going to say Ruthless People also.  I can remember the first time I saw it at the show and you just never stop laughing.  I have Love Actually on DVD, I have stayed away because someone dies young with a young child and that was a little scary for me to watch.  Maybe I will try it soon.  I will say, I have not had a really good cry in months and would probably feel real good afterwards.  You are correct that the music is great from that movie.  I bought that Joni Mitchell CD last year!

Another favorite is the first Bridget Jones movie.  Also, was never a big Hugh Grant fan until Notting Hill, another good movie.  The one with he and Drew Barrymore is also very funny.

Hi girls,

Well, I had the long blond facial hair waxed off on Thursday night.  It hurt like a bitch, I hope it does not come back--I will keep you posted.

I am seeing the onc on Wednesday, the first time since chemo ended.  I am having some hip pain and am going to mention it.  It is not constant and I do notice it to be considerably worse the couple days after I do yoga.  It is not even painful enough for a pain reliever, and if it were not for bc, I probably would not even notice it.  Has anyone had any scans since chemo?

Hope everyone is fully recovered from rads and all their hair is coming in thick!  My hair is super thick with a lot more body than before.  It seems to have a mind of its own as to which direction it wants to go.

Take care everyone and have a good week.

Hi ladies,

I was just reading your posts.  I finished chemo July 17.  I have been having some hip pain and it is freaking me out.  It is not constant and is definitely worse for a couple days after I do my yoga class.  My onc does not do regular scans and I have appointment for Wednesday.  This is my first appointment since ending chemo.  I guess my question is when you have mets pain, is it constant, or does it come and go.  Also, does Advil relieve the pain of mets?

Thanks.

Hi all,

I breast fed my little guy for 14 months.  Finished September of 2003.  I find the whole thing to be very frustrating.

Thanks,

Hi all,

I live in the southwest suburbs of Chicago and work downtown Chicago.  I would love to help you girls with the organization and/or recommendation.  Even the suburbs are now getting some nice convention type places that are not as expensive as downtown or near the airport.  There is a lot bus services to bring people from the two airports to various places in the burbs.  Just let me know.
