Re: So...whats for dinner?
Last night was some of the chicken. Sharon had a music gig and ate at the gig. I stayed home with the dogs, began the process of refinishing the wood part of a floor lamp and also ran (slowly) 6-1/2 miles.
We have two peelers, I can't see any differences between the two, but one works great on potatoes and carrots and poorly on squash, while the other works great on squash, but poorly on carrots and potatoes.

Re: So...whats for dinner?
We finally had rain yesterday after two months of none. I doubt it was enough but we'll take it.
I'll never forget Apple's description on here of cutting up butternut squash. It brought to mind images of Lizzie Borden.
Carole I perfectly understand that fried chicken craving. The Popeyes around here are so poorly managed I can't believe they're still in business. It's not uncommon to find them closed during normal hours or for them to be out of chicken. When your entire business is fried chicken how could you frequently be "out"? Ŵe gave up on them much to my great disappointment.
Last night was take out pizza. Tonight is chicken leek pie.

Re: Stage III Cancer Survivors........20+ years and out
I'm here too ! 21 year out this past February .Hallelujah !! A lot of changes on these boards since I Iast posted in '24.
I'm continuing to do well with N.E.D. I went off my Aromasin which I've decided that I used as my security blanket after almost 15 years . That was about 3-4 years ago. Although I did really well on that AI ..once off for a period of time I had no idea of it's impact on how I felt. I'm thankful for it but am so glad it is done.
I see a new doc who has made a few changes . I now go every 6 months rather than once a year so as to work in a rotation of Breast MRI and Mammo/US . She is very involved and I feel that she cares for my welfare.
I follow no special diet ,walk about 2 miles most days and probably drink too much wine : ) .
Looking back, never would I think I would be where I am today but an excellent oncologist and breast surgeon and GOD made it happen . Thinking of you all as you make this journey ..there is light at the end of that long dark tunnel !

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Yesterday I ran to Home Depot. They sent a 10% off coupon so I thought I’d grab some things. I needed a new Delta bathroom faucet. We’d replaced all parts with genuine Delta parts and it still dripped after about a week of use. I bought a new overhead light for inside the garage; 4 packs of leaf bags; a bucket; and a surge protector. Big splurge not, but I saved about $18.
Today I ran to Aldi’s for pumpkins and a few other items. Next is I’m hoping to put up the new light in the garage - I’ll open the box and see what I’m up against - it hangs from a chain. 🤷♀️
Good news of the day is gf dh is scheduled for the external ablation at 3pm today. If all goes well they could be back home by Friday.
I need to dye my roots tonight. Mammo & ultrasound tomorrow at 7:40. I don’t want to be lying there with white roots shining. Ha!
Sunny & supposed to go up to 66, although 58 now. Wishing you all a great day!

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
betrayal - the sloth pictures are adorable. Sounds like the visit to the animal sanctuary was awesome. It’s always sad to see someone medically disembarked from a cruise ship. I think it’s a reminder to each of us how precious life is. Hopefully they have travel insurance.
Cindy - good luck with the mammo and US tomorrow. Keeping your gf’s DH in my thoughts for a good outcome.
Not much new here - weather is in the 40’s, windy and drizzly so I will be riding my exercise bike in the basement.

Re: Could lymph node positive survivors share their story?
Michelle co, you are an inspiration to all of us. I read your postings to my husband and all he could say was "SEE" He has been telling me all along that things are going to be fine. Well, I just cant believe that from anyone....while my gut feeling today was that "YES" it will be fine.
I am going to live like never before. However, I told my hubby that I do not want to start going on vacations because to me that is giving in (if you can relate?) I dont see how doing stuff that I would have not done before would help. My retirement plans were to see the Grand Canyon, Niaggra Falls, and the Black HIlls and any other little fun things so I guess I will hold off until then. I have a nice little cash pot in case if things get bad, but until then I will have faith in my God that that day will not come for a long, long time. Actutually I do think that I will die......but from old age and that is okay with me.
Yes, please to continue to post as all your positive stories or things you have overcome is HUGE to those of us that are still trying to get past this point. I always say to encourage others to visit us also .... so spread the word.
A HUGE, HUGE HUG to you and congrats for all its worth!
Much love,
Cindi
