Good Morning Everyone: Didnt bring any sunshine today. I cant help it, I thought this picture was just too darn cute.
Odalys: Not up to doing much. Didnt like the way things were falling into play with that interview. Heard many bad things about administrator - so I still driving about evaluating people. Guess I shouldnt complain as it is nice to be out when the weather is so great.
Marsha: Hmmmm me thinks someone read your mind. I think the hardest day for me was the day before my surgery. I know your gonna do just fine - get it over with so you can move on to better things.
CY: Im glad your home and feeling better. Sounds like that infection was pretty bad. Good luck with the port removal tomorrow.
candie: Eczema sounds pretty yucky. Hope that cream works. Did you ever get to the Fall festival yesterday. I was gonna go to a Johnny Appleseed fest, but just got too darn lazy and stayed home.
Cheri: Im not surprized the leg is swollen after all that driving you did. Hoping its better today.
MargaretB: The Hamptons and The Cabana are my first stops now. Greatful the week-end is hear so I can catch up on what happening here on bc.org! Now why in the heck is your head itching?
Well, its off to exercise and walk the dog. Have a great day.

Good Morning Everyone. I thought I'd start over here today at the "mothership" since I can't seem to keep up with all the boards I'm on! I'm missing some of you that don't go to the Hamptons. Some of you I see everywhere though which is cool.
Jazz ... I Love seeing you posting more. My fill pain is Very gradually easing but I'm still very sore. I can hold Ava again though which is telling.
Cheri ... I'm glad you got the picture posting down. I haven't checked my email yet today because I'm using Karl's computer. I'll do that as soon as I can to see how you're doing with your avatar. My PC is in the bedroom and Karl is sleeping .. I don't want to wake him up. The cabana was a blast yesterday ... it was almost like we were in a chat room it was moving so fast! Too fun! I hope your leg swelling has gone down.
Donna ... Nice to see you pop in.
CherylnC ... Glad your labs came back fine. Our meds can really mess with our levels. I'm happy that you like the Angels I post! I'm sure you're going to enjoy that well deserved trip. You have been through so much. I know that's an understatement too.
Jan ... Always good seeing you
BooSue ... Glad you had a great time at the conference. Is there a story behind your name (Boo)? I always love a good story. I'm hoping Adele is doing as well as can be.
Marsha ... I hope you have a nice relaxing day today. You're too funny!
Odalys ... I'm doing better each day. My girls are doing great although Ava is showing terrible two behavior and lack of mother attention lol Hoping to rein that in somewhat as I get better. Audrey is doing Great with her new teacher. She likes her ... says she's strict but only when she has to be. She's bringing home A+'s all the time and enjoying school. How is Steven doing? Is he in fourth grade this year? It was nice to be back on the party thread again.
Candie ... Audrey has suffered eczema since she was a baby. Sometimes it's really bad. The cortisone-steroid cream should help. One thing to help prevent flare ups after you get through this bout is to make sure you moisturize well every day. Eucerin Calming Cream is great to use for itching.
Audrey is great ... the swelling and black eye didn't last very long. The icing all night when she got it helped that. My boobies are hard and sore, but more bearable now.
CY ... I am feeling better thank you for asking. So glad you are getting some rest.
That was nice of you to invite Medical418 to the circle. She's in a bad spot and could use our support. I hope she comes over.
Susan ... I'm sorry to hear about your Aunt. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Nicki and Peter ... hello to you
Okay I think I'm caught up here, I hope I didn't miss anyone. Thinking of everyone and hoping you all have a wonderful Sunday!Hugs and Love

Peter, you will have to check out the drinks. Be careful, cosmos can give you a headache if you drink too many. They taste so good though.
Nicki, I don't know why my head is itching. It's driving me crazy but it is better than yesterday. I need to get up and shower but I know there are dead ANTS in the bathroom that I have to clean up and don't feel like doing it right now.
Charlene, you always post the prettiest pictures.
Time to check the Hamptons before showering.

Cherylnc>your trip should really do wonders for you! DH and I managed to do two vacations this year thanks to his bonus check. We normally take a vacation about once every 5 years. First one was a motorcycle/trike trip to Illinois from Oklahoma through Missouri for a mini family reunion at my Mom's 80th birthday party, we then drove across Iowa and Nebraska to spend 5 days in Colorado at a motorcycle event. Over 3,000 miles on a trike we just got 3 days before the trip!
Sorry haven't written much here lately but once I post in the Hamptons I don't want to repeat myself here and bore y'all since I am doing some long posts lately.
Then we did a trip to San Diego by plane to see our Marine son. It was my first time ever in California. I wore my arm sleeve for the first time as they told me its a preventive method since there is no cure for lymphedema.

Hi Everyone !
Sorry I haven't had time to post much over the past couple of weeks. I got home from Europe a week ago and it has been go, go,go since then.
Met up with Sue/Boo and several others for lunch on Friday, then had several of our bco chatters stay at my home on Friday evening. We had a lot of fun.
I am surprised any of us could stay awake during the conference in Tampa on Saturday, since most of us only had about an hour or two's sleep. But, the conference was great and I think we all learned a lot.
I will post a link to pictures on the Get-Togethers thread, as soon as I get a chance to upload them from my camera!
Sue/Boo it was great to finally meet you. I hope we will keep in closer touch from now on. I will let you know the next time we are all getting together and hope you can join us.
Lori- great to meet you too - and thank you so much for the wonderful Godiva chocolate products - yummmmmmieeeeeeee. We really should have finished that bottle on Friday though! Still, never mind, we can finish it next time around.
Cy- so sorry to hear that you were in hospital. I hope you are feeling much better now. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Cheri - how is the leg healing?
Odalys, so sorry you couldn't join us this weekend.
Marsha - keeping you in my thoughts and I wish you the best of luck with your surgery and above all, a speedy recovery. Hopefully you will be able to join us FL gals the next time we meet.
Purplemb and Vickie - Terricarolyn (from chatroom) and I will definitely be coming over to see you gals while you are in Cocoa Beach. Looking forward to it.
Had my 6-monthly mammo and surgeon follow-up on Friday morning. Everything looks great
. Surgeon said that if he didn't know he had operated on me himself, he would never believe that I had had bc, so that has to be a great sign! See onc again on Monday and hope I can finally persuade him to let me have the port out.OK ladies and Peter, I have a mountain of laundry waiting to be done. I know I have missed so many of you, but believe me you are all in my heart and thoughts. Love to everyone from A- Z.
Elaine (choca)

Good afternoon Circle. My, I got a little behind and there are several posts. I try to post two to both bc boards but sometimes just get one in. Feeling pretty good today. Walking around gently with my cane. Yes it does hurt. LOL No pain no gain. Man am I sick of that phrase! The grandsons both got home today at noon and Amber and her bf are renting a video game, getting pizza and going to watch the football game. They were going to take the boys somewhere but Ethan just wanted to stay home.
CY, you're home! I am so glad. Sorry about my phone breaking up and then when I called back you didn't answer. Always have you in my prayers. You are such a good person, from the heart with no other agenda. That is why I like you so much. You are genuine.
Suzola, so sorry to hear about your aunt. Give me a call when you get home so I'll know you're alright.
Margaret, good idea about posting here first. I usually always do that because there's less traffic here.
Candie, so glad you found out your rash is nothing real serious and you got some medicine for it.
Boo, don't have to call you Boo-Who when you hang around, silly. lol
Cherylnc, so happy you are feeling better. Got to get well for your fabulous trip. My leg is better today, thank you.
Nicki, loved the pic you posted this morning. lol So true.
Charlene, we did have fun yesterday didn't we? lol I really enjoyed it. Thanks to you and Odalys for teaching me how to post pics here.
WildJan, are you from OK? If so that makes us neighbors cos I'm from MO.
Choca, glad your mammo was good and my leg is doing well today, thank you.
Wishing everyone a very pleasant Sunday.

Hello to all!
I feel like I've been neglecting so many.............I'm just so scatterbrained lately. I know, you're all so surprised by that!!
Seems like if I miss a day it takes me a week to get back in the groove!!
Glad everyone is doing well..........
Susan: I am sorry to hear that you lost your Aunt. Saying a prayer for you.
Candie: The itchies are a pain.........no pun intended. Glad the cream is helping a bit.
I'm sitting here itching myself..........power of suggestion is a wonderful thing! I have been itchy lately.........not in any one place and there is no rash, so I guess I'm just itchy..............
Odalys: I so wanted to come to your Luau! Sounded like alot of fun.....just couldn't make it.........and as a treat for all, I practiced my Hula Dance and had my Grass Skirt and Coconut Bra all ready to go!
Charlene: You are feeling better........I'm so glad. Yea for Audrey scoring the Goal!! Don't beat yourself up over missing it..........she know's how proud of her you are!!
Dang, sounds like I missed some good talk at the Cabana..........I gotta get over there and check things out!
I'm having trouble keeping all the places straight.............remember, I can't remember what I'm saying half of the time.
Yup, Mini Dumpster Diving.......quite the adventure! I could just imagine, not finding it........calling to cancel it...........husband up north...........him going to use it for Gas or something and being denied!!!!
Brenda: Glad you're so comfortable with us! We have a habit of making 'quiet' ladies into 'mouthy' ladies!
Cherylnc: What a trip that will be! Enjoy, be safe and take lots of pictures!
Marsha: Hey Girlfriend! We haven't gotten into trouble on here in quite a bit.............let me know when you are feeling better and we'll see what we can do!
Cheri: Like I said at the Hamptons..........be proud of the accomplishments, but don't forget to rest the foot!! Love ya!
Nicki: Are you watching Football? DH has it on and for some reason he said he wants Chicago to win...................don't people usually want their Home team to win??
Okay........hope you all have a good day!
Hugs,
Denise

Elaine, can't wait to see the pictures on the Get Together thread. Congrats on the follow up. I hate laundry - I swear mine reproduces.
Gina, thinking of you as you take the xeloda.
Cheryl, I will dig out some fabric softener sheets then too. With the Terro and fabric softener, I should have them wiped out. At least I didn't get them in the freezer like my girlfriend did.
Cheri, I remember how much of a lifesaver this site was for me when first diagnosed and as the wagon circle grew, I spent more time there and less on threads like Just Diagnosed. I think Gina mentioned something about checking in there and I realized she was right. So I check bco first now before going to the Hamptons.
It's amazing how much you get done when you get up early. I went to Starbucks, the farmer's market, breakfast, Costco, have done three loads of laundry, made up the beds in the guest room (still can't believe I finally have one of those after 22 years in this house), got dinner ready for tonight, and just had lunch. Pretty productive I'd say.

Margaret.............I am such a lame brain. I still have the tiny piece of paper with the original name of the paint that you gave me months ago.
I just cleaned off the desk and CAN NOT find the paper where I had written all of the numbers and such that you just posted!!!!
I'm trying to go back and find your post!!
Hugs,
Denise

Hi everyone - I've spent most of the day in bed with a splitting headache. I haven't read anything but wanted you guys to read the new thread I made RE: Christmas Card Exchange. If you're already responded to me on another thread - no need to do so again.
Off to lie down again.

Just stopped to say hi. I have been to the Hamptons but don't feel much like posting today. I did read all so I can keep up with you over here. Have a good Sunday. What's left of it.

Ok.: where or what is the Hamptons? I obviously missed something important!
Shirley: so good to see you here again. How are you doing? Have you settled back in to "normal" life after your visit to FL?
Shel38: I can surely relate with those darned painful ribs! Mine are just starting to feel better - after many months. Hope you feel better soon.
Liz: Sorry to hear you are not feeling good today. Take a cool cloth, put it on your forehead and lie down in a dark room. Hope you feel better tomorrow!
Odalys: sorry I missed the Luau. Maybe next time !
Wishing everyone a good night and a great start to the week!
Hugs and chocolate xxxx

Hey Elaine
Hope you are feeling well and refreshed mate
The Hamptons is a site which Gina was kind enough to set up while all
the upgrades were happening on the bco site. Call on over and you will
see a lot of familiar faces along with some great new circle girls.

Have a great night and week

Choca, indeed I am. Just got home from my spending a week at my daughters. Either rebroke or broke another rib while I was there. Which means I have happy drugs which makes me happy.
All is good.
Is your cough all gone?

HI to all,
Hope you all had a great Sunday. The Fall Festival I went to last night was fun. Lots of rides for kids, bobbing for apples, music, great food, fall items to buy and all kinds of breads to buy too. It was a gorgeous evening weather wise and a nice night to be outside. The cream the Dr gave me seems to have started working today. Not so itchy tonight. Just can't wait for the rash and black and blues to go away. It makes me sick to look at it and it looks like someone beat with a baseball bat--really!!
When I went to church this morning, I said prayers for my bc sisters and brother,Peter. I asked God to keep you all safe and healthy.
2nd week for Sunday School classes today..here we call it CCD. 4th grade . I have a cute boy,Ian, in my class but boy what a scorcher. He will definitely be a challenge for me this year.But I do like challenges!!
Susan, sorry to hear about your aunt. My prayers to you and your family
Cy,take care and please rest
Peter, so glad to see you here. Prayers for your results from Dr this week
Cherylinc,glad u are feeling better
Nicki,love the pic. You re right---too darn cute!!
Charlene,thanks for suggesting the eucerin cream
Elaine,congrats on good mammo results
Liz, hope you're feeling better
Everyone from A to Z--have a good night's sleep
Hugs and prayers,
Candie
Susan,sorry to hear about your Aunt. My prayers to you and your family.

Where do I find that survivor post that some of you have been talking about? I would like to read it too. Thanks

Good evening sweet sisters and Peter....
Every time I type that it reminds me of a writer's conference I went to a few years ago. It was a 6 day conference and I made fast friends with a group of 6 lady writers and one guy named Randy. We were all a bit on the wild side (imagine that) and we were always a bit louder and more...shall we say, colorful than most of the group. On the 3rd day we went and had a buttons made that said "The Wild Women, and Randy". We thought we were being SO clever with our double meaning....
Anyway...I digress....
Susan - I'm sorry to hear about your Aunt. I hope you can at least enjoy some time visiting with family. Hugs
Odalys - Drats, I missed the Luau! And I love a god Mai-Tai (Did I spell that right?) Hope you are doing well.
CY - I am so glad you are home...now rest up and feel better...I'm shaking my Mom finger at you. Sending you huge, healing hugs
Charlene - Sounds like your pain is getting better. Hang in there.
OK...so many more folks I want to talk to, but I am running short on time. I'm going to copy a post I did in the HAmptons this morning. I'll try and come back later and catch up with posting to everyone else. In the mean time....hugs all around.
We had a great party at the roller rink last night for Katie's 13th b-day. We had about 70 people there. It was a ton of fun, and even better all I had to do is cook the food and show up...no house cleaning before or after....I loved that part.
the newspaper article about breast cancer awareness month came out in the paper today. There were only a few major things I didn't like or things that were wrong...like that I had 33 WEEKS of radiation treatments...Hmmmm...and I don't even glow in the dark...LOL. I also gritted my teeth at the "death sentence" thing with stage 4....A few other typos stood out, but all in all I think she did a good job.

They also ran my essay in the print paper, but I can't find it on the web site. I know they don't put all their content on the web, so it may not be out there. Here is a link to the same essay on my blog.

I had 3 ladies at church this morning promise me they were going in for mammograms and I have an e-mail from a local woman I don't know who also had a bilat mast and is looking for a support group. In a lot of ways I am sick of being a small town "breast cancer poster child...but if even one woman gets a mammogram that would not have done it otherwise, it is worth it.
