Ronda...happy dance for you!
Hi Mena...the silver Mitsobishi was Melinda's car...they are asking for anyone to let them know if they saw it anywhere the day before Trenton disappeared so they have a better idea of where she was and whether or not Trenton was with her...still praying.
(((Amy)))...glad things are going better.
Chemosabi...so glad you had a good time...you deserve it.
Vera...wow...great recipe. Your DVD didn't get mailed until today...I had left it at work to be mailed before leaving for Florida but it didn't go out!?!
Thanks Susan.
NS...I have a great neighbor who has mowed my lawn all summer...I'll send him over so you can take a break.
Carrie...great idea...we could PM Melissa and ask.
Tired tonight so gonna run (or crawl) off to bed.
Love to all,
Vickie
NS...what is involved in the BRCA testing...bloodwork? I had a message to call them when I got home today but can't call until tomorrow.0 -
Debby...so sorry for the lousy news. Grab a blanket and cozy on up to the fire. Fall is in the air and the wonderful smell is all around us. We will sing uplifting songs to keep your mind busy. xoxo

Debby,
sorry to hear the suxy news.
will be thinking good thots for you

hugssssssssssss0 -
Hi all,
It is with sadness I must report more bad news. The dr. at MD Anderson phoned and said the radiolist didn't think it was infectious nodes but thought it was cancer. She said if I wanted to get it biopsied for my own piece of mind I could do so. She said there was no reason to see me next Monday at the advisary board and thought I'd just do treatment locally. Talk about taking the wind out of your sails! I thought we were going to MDA for newest and greatest treatment only to be told in so many words to go home and there wasn't any hope for a cure. I'm having a hard time digesting all this. I honestly thought I was done last Sept. We are thinking of moving back to our families in Colorado and leaving Atlanta. I know it might be premature but feel like I need to start protecting my kids. I pray for a cure. I pray for healing. I pray for time. It so ironic a couple of months ago I couldn't wait to be 5 years out so my fear of reoccurence would subside...now I wish it was 5 months ago! and wanting to stop time. I'm so sad. I can't get into see my onc. until Thursday...hopefully she will not be so direct and doom and gloom... I'm going to take an ambien so I can prepare for another day chasing after my 4 year old. I look forward to the day when I'll be swaping stories and receipes with you all instead of craving support and hope and a cure. Sorry to be such a downer! Lisa0 -
((((((((( LISA )))))))))))))))
sorry to hear of the discouraging news !
Lisa, HOW can they be sure if it has NOT been biopsyed?
I hope that they are wrong. I hope you can get a biopsy.
I know this is tough and I really have no words of wisdom for you, sure wish I did.
hugssssssssssssss0 -
Dear (((Lisa)))
Ok- this sucks.
BUT- and you know there is always a BUT with me!
Just because they are sending you to your own onc doesn't mean you aren't eligible for all the GREAT NEW DRUGS OUT THERE!
NOW you go and DEMAND Avastin! And any other combo that will kick cancer a$$!
You don't need to be at some special place to get special meds!
It isn't over... you are just beginning to fight... and I am gonna pester you and nudge you and even fly down there if I have to!
You SHOULD rest up- you have a big battle ahead- but it is one you CAN WIN...
Love to you-
and many many prayers,
g0 -
Oh Lisa, what a sad day. We are here for you and sending much love your way. This just sucks...so not fair.

(((((DEBBY))))))
YOU KNOW WHO IS TAKING THE WHEEL RIGHT???
My prayers are with you sweet thing!!!!
Love,g0 -
Lisa and Debby-
OK, so now we know the bad news...It stinks, but now you know and can get ready to start the healing process.
Lisa- I have great faith in my local doctor team and it would take a lot to get me to move to a big breast center. Here i know all the "players" and they know me personally. Don't think you can't get top-notch care from your local team. I think G is right. Do your researc and make sure your docs are all on board to treat this until it is cured. I'm spending special, gentle hugs and prayers that you find a peaceful place to rest you mind and soul.
Debby5-
Hang in there! I know this just does not seem fair, after all you have already been through, but you can DO IT! We will be right there, praying for you. Peace be with you and GOD SPEED!!! Hugs!!!
Oh, and Lini...big tummys are good luck. My hubby rubs mine and sometimes, if he does it right...Behold! HE GETS LUCKY.
Hugs and best wishes to everyone in the center of the circle.

Debby (puppy) and Lisa I am sending postive thoughts ,love
and prayer your way, not such a good day today come close
to the midddle of the circle and let us all hold your hand
and lend our shoulders ~
Denise still has some decisions to make and more specialist
to see . The anuerysm is on a main artery in the right side of the brain 1-3% of these do bleed ( I am sure that is not the proper term sorry) If it does he said chances are that she would not make it to the hopital being in a main artery. He is sending her records to a specailist to see if she can so a coil ( the vessles running from the artery determine this) If she does not he can do a clip
this was the choice he was least optomistic about.
He also said she could do nothing , and watch it he said
many of his older patients opt for this (Denise is 47 I don't think that is old) He said that it is small.
He said the only sure thing about these are there is
nothing sure about them .
Hugs,
Carrie0 -
I haven't been here in a (long) while, but I try to keep up with the posts on a daily basis.
Debby - I'm so sorry for your news and hope all goes well. Fortunately, the medical field has come a long way in dealing with heart problems.
Lisa - I feel for you and what you're going through. Hopefully, you will get a biopsy and some good news. I'm sending you white light and healing . . .
It was great meeting 'The Jersey Girls' yesterday - Tgirl, Mena, k4katz, et al.
I'm exhausted and going to bed -- gotta be at radiation at 8:30.
Hugs, Sue0 -
Aw what news for Debby, Lisa and (not old) Denise,
FIGHT sisters, we are here with you and will pull out all we have for strugles. No way can any one tell you, that is all. We, here know better!0 -
Not exactly a fun day, is it? So sorry for your news Lisa and Debby. I'd like to echo what AlaskaDeb said so eloquently. Just like the first dx of cancer, getting the bad news is the worst part. Now you have that out of the way and you can plan your battles. I don't want to minimize the pain and the fear and frustration I just want to remind you that even though this stinks and is horrible and awful, you know how to battle back. I'll be there with everyone else cheering you on.
Carrie, I'm sorry Denise didn't get better news today either. I don't really understand your message but it sounds like there is not an easy fix -- YET. I'm holding both of your hands as you go to more doctors and find all the alternatives. Hugs and prayers for both of you.
to end on a lighter note, Alaska Deb you crack me up. Glad you are here.0 -
Lisa and Puppy...my prayers are with you both...a difficult day, indeed...Mena...xo

Lisa, Debbie, Denise,
I was so sorry to hear that you have more challenges ahead of you.
The wagons are circled, the camp fire is bright - have put a bunch of fresh logs on so you can cozy up and feel all of our loving warmth as we hug you and care for you. You have treatments coming - like fixing the wagon wheels. And lots of suggestions here for where to look for and good wagon wheel fixer-uppers. The wheels may have a loose spoke, but they have a lot of miles left in them.
Some of us have more loose spokes than others (or am I thinking of loose nuts?) Oh well, all together.

Lisa, Deb5 I'm just in tears for you. But as the oy\thers have said NOW the battle really begins, FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT with all you might! We are here and praying for you.
My back is still hurting so much I went in to the Dr. I have what he called L5 Sprain and said to keep doing what I've been doing add motrin to the potion and 12 visits with PT starting tomorrow at 7:40am
My "whiskers", (Stitches), hurt a little bit tonight too so hard to keep my hand away from my face as I can see them and keep trying to brush them off.
My hurts semms so small compared to others tonight that I'm going to bed with a very special prayer for all that hurt to go away!
((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) & Special prayers0 -
That's pretty tough to hear, but don't give up! Go for the biopsy! See what your onc says, then do what's best for you and your family. And remember that we are all here for you, whatever you need, just let us know. ((((((((hugs))))))))) to you tonight, try to get some rest. Ronda

Deb - I sure do enjoy your posts. You're such a hoot! You bring so many smiles to my face! Ronda0 -
Ronda and Deb,
If mine rubs my back or feet he gets lucky. So I guess my back and feet are the good luck charms on my body.0 -

Sisters, we are having an intense thunderstorm so this will be short.

Girls - I am so sorry to read these posts today. Usually I read more than post but I can not leave this site tonight without telling you that you need to keep up the faith. Keep searching and keep fighting. Hoping you find comfort and guidance in these days to come. Robin

Brenda...I absolutely LOVE this picture...thanks for posting it!
Peggy0 -
Brenda? is that YOU?
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!0 -
For Lisa and Debby and Denise and all the girls who know they must keep fighting...
This song helped me through the hard time I had with my treatments and all the things that happened during it...
That can't touch what you are going through now, but I hope you will feel the same way I did when I heard this.
Another day has almost come and gone
Cant imagine what else could wrong
Sometimes Id like to hide away somewhere and lock the door
A single battle lost but not the war
cause Tomorrows another day
And Im thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain
Its almost like the hard times circle round
A couple drops and they all start coming down
Yeah, I might feel defeated,
I might hang my head
I might be barely breathing - but Im not dead
Tomorrows another day
And Im thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain
Im not gonna let it get me down
Im not gonna cry
And Im not gonna lose any sleep tonight
Tomorrow's another day
And I am not afraid
So bring on the rain~

I am on duty for my night watch. Sleep well ladies. You are safe here. The power of the sisterhood is protecting you.0 -
Sorry, not me!!!!!! I tend to shy from pictures. Too, I am older. My 5 year old grandson ask me the other day what I looked like before I got old. Cracked me up!! Storm seems to have moved on but this senior citizen needs sleep.
Glad everyone enjoy the picture. Peggy, I noticed you have a new saying, I like!!!!!0 -
Good Morning everyone. Im sitting at the campfire. Its still dark - night is still upon us, althought the sun will be rising soon - just no where in sight yet. Im sitting by the campfire, had to put lots of logs on - have my nice cozy blanket. The sky is clear, the stars are plenty. And the moon is shining brightly even though it is "quarter" shaped.
As I read the posts, I realized, what this thread is truelly about. To give support, stand tall and strong for those who need up. We are always strong in numbers. Im silently singing "When You Wish Upon A Star - Your Dreams Come True." By Pery Como. So I have found 3 bright and beautiful stars to wish upon.
Lisa: So now you know what you are dealing with. You have lots to think about right now. I do agree with what Deb said. My cancer center is community based. The docs always keep up with the latest treatments. Can get on clinical trials. Now is not the time to give up, but yet - once again - show them you are determined to be in control of this disease. There are many medications out there. Yes, I would be feeling sad too, but when that passes, you get up the strength and fight this. I just walked over to the middle of the circle, I found your wagon, and while you were sleeping, I covered you with a warm blanket. We are here for you.
Debbyfive: My dear friend. Open heart surgery is scary. I was almost there once myself. Ended up not needed the surgery. Anyways, rest assured, no matter how scary it is, so many people do well. I snuck over to your wagon too. Have lit candles all around the outside. To give you strength and ease some of the fear.
Carrie and Denise: So Im trying to understand. It sounds like the aneurysm is in the carotid artery. That is the main artery that brings blood flow to the brain. An aneurysm occurs when the wall of the artery weakens. Starts to expand - sort of like a balloon. The aneurysm will start to leak, as the weakening get bigger, stretches the wall. I have taken care of many people who have had the clipping surgery and they have pulled through it great. I glad the doctor said its small, would be easier to fix. I just had a friend who had a major aneurysm of the Aorta, by the heart. It was 8cm! That was 3 months ago and now she is back to work full time. Your wagon too, has candles lit all around the outside. So that all of us here in the circle know who to comfort and protect.
Coffee is done. Tastes unusually wonderful this morning.
Vera: That is the best recipe for cheese cake. I cant wait to make it.
MB: I did call! Left a message. But truth be, I should have put together a fantastic resume. Just no energy to do it. So we shall see. If this position falls through, there will be more. I actually went window shopping to look at suits. So who knows.

As I read some of these posts, my heart is both sad and glad at the same time. The wagon circle is such a wonderful place to be during these difficult times! Although I am just beginning my journey with cancer, I feel heartened by the presence of so many knowledgeable and loving women.
Debbyfive, I am sending warm thoughts and hugs your way. Although I do not know you very well, I have read your posts and I can see you are a loving and giving person. You have a great outlook and nothing can take that away from you!
Lisa, just reading your post brought tears to my eyes. Please let me help support you and buoy you through this next challenge. You will need all the strength and determination you've got, even if you have to reach deep down to find it.
You are all amazing people. I am truly awed and honored to be a part of it.
(((Hugs)))
