Bren, you have some doozies for hospital roomies! He was supposed to be released today but I'm not sure if they are going to release him, we'll have to see.
CY, I was going to send you some sunshine but photobucket is loading sllooooooowwwww. Maybe it's my computer.
Shokk, today the rainy morning sounds good; wish it was the weekend so that I could lay in bed and watch TV.
Hope you all have a good day. I think that I should just shower since I can't get online anyway.

Good Morning!
Usually when I come here my fingers just start flying across the keyboard.....the past couple of days I sit here with my fingers on the key board trying to figure out where to start and what to say.......................
Hope all are good today...........
Marsha: Glad to hear all went well with Uniboob and that you're in good spirits. Sending lots of tender hugs your way!
Margaret: I think I said it but not sure........twice is better than not at all! I am glad that your BIL's surgery went well and that he is resting well. He might come home today? It amazes me how fast they discharge patients!
NO ANTS........!!!!! I tell ya, that stuff really works............if you don't mind swarms for a couple of days!
Cy: Hope the port exchange isn't giving you problems.......not to many anyhow. REST!
Liz: Now that you know you don't have BRAIN METS...........I hope you are feeling better. Isn't it sad what this has done to us? I self dx myself daily, and have had mets to body parts I didn't even know I had.
Kinda rainy here today, but it is supposed to clear up and I guess hit record temps for the rest of the week. Fine with me, just not ready for winter yet!
Shirley: Something I read from you last night sounded sooooo much like me, just wish I could remember what it was!
Cheri, Nicki, Vickie, Madison, Boo, Odalys, Peter, Charlene, all the Brendas, Shel, Christine, Donna, Candie, Shokk, Gina, Colleen, Karen, KRISTEN (where are you), Jan, WildJan, Suz, Blue, Guz, DEB, MB.............I shouldn't try to list all, cuz I know I leave many out and it is not intentional.........just a little memory game I play with myself.
Thinking of you all.......
Hugs,
Denise

Shokk and Denise - please send some rain our way. NO, still no rain. Some areas of the country are getting soaked or flooding and we have absolutely no rain.
Cy - I can't help you with the nails. With my chemo, I didn't have to deal with that.
Look - we have said over and over on this particular board, if you are upset with someone put it in a PM - keep it off the boards. We all have days we don't feel good, short fuses or feel insulted or that something is not appropriate. There were some long time members last night when I read that were upset and said "enough". One was AlaskaDeb. I hope she didn't mean that.
Some, like me, are going through some tough family times; some are still in the midst of some hard chemo and related issues, reconstruction issues, other major health issues or just trying to get a grip on life again. I know at times, things have hit me wrong and I feel major ticked off, left out, unwanted, don't fit in, etc., but I keep coming back here.
Rule #1 here - WE SHOULD ALL STRIVE TO KEEP OUR DIFFERENCES OUT OF OUR POST - YES, THAT INCLUDES ME!!. GOT MY HAND SLAPPED A FEW TIMES FOR THAT ONE BUT I'VE TRIED TO LEARN AND DO BETTER.
I LOVE AND NEED YOU, MY FRIENDS!!!

Morning all,
Hope it's a great day for you. All the storms have moved out and right now it's nice with a cool breeze. We'll see how long that lasts.
I've only read this page but know I think of you guys daily.
CY - I'm so glad the drain is working. Here's to brighter days ahead for you my friend.
Gina - your site is a very informative, supportive site for anyone who wishes to be there. Thank you for starting it when things were so wacky here. I agree - anyone who has a problem with another should take care of it privately. I so hate conflict.
Cheri - you created your site to get away from BC. That's what it has done for so many. Thank you.
Brenda - I wish I had magic words for you but know that I do understand what you write. Try to get some rest somehow. Hugs.
Neesie - I just had a moment and thought of you! I can't remember anything now. Don't you hate that? Drives me nuts!!!! Hugs to you my friend.
Well - I can't remember what I was going to say so I'll just say have a happy day.
Hugs & Prayers
Liz

Ok guys I'm at work and soaked but I just admitt I just love days like this not everyday like we had in the spring and early summer but after a few weeks of no rain this is just fantistic........DebC and Shell please reconsider about leaving.......I'm not sure exactly what's going on this time (please don't anyone pm and tell me) want to stay Switzerland on this outbreak but you know what guys the people involved are grownups and can take care of themselves.......if they post then let them post don't really care....if we want to stay out of it then we just should stay out of it.........Brenda is right so many of us need this support system and need to talk (it's not whinning) about the crap going on in our lives.........also the good things........I think we just need one another..............Karen I want to tell you how much I enjoy reading about your Jewish holidays......do you remember your post from last year.........you yourself were in a very dark place and you have come through and seem to be getting stronger and better by each passing day......................I love to hear about your husband and kidlets.................it gives me hope in marriage....................just want you to know that........................ok chicas and Peter going to try and get into the Hamptons..............its not that I don't love it here it's just easier for me the way Gina's got it set up.........it's kinda like special ed for the computer for dimwits like myself........anywho love all you guys..........will be back in a bit.......shokk

Hello Ladies and Gent,
We are initiating a new start today. We did a cleaning of posts, and look forward to moving beyond.
Thank you all for helping to work together to make this a kind, accepting, and warm environment.
Best,
Melissa, Tami and team0 -
Thanks Melissa and Tami for all you do.
Hello everyone,
Deb missed your post since its been changed but sure hope you arent going anywhere. Where will I get my good Alaska fix and who can forget the perfect visual of the nightgown and shotgun?!?
Cheri-Its probably iv time for you and hoping the time is passing quickly for you.
Shokk-I wouldnt mind some of that rain. Hope it doesnt get too bad and send you back to your closet though.
Liz-i agree on the hating conflict. I tend to ignore and walk around with my head stuck in the sand. Its nice though and alot like my life living in denial.
Brenda-you got me my friend. and thats about as mushy as this girl can get.
Nessie-you without words,,say it aint so.
Margaret-congrats on the no ants. I just might have to pick some of that stuff up. I love gross stuff so I will enjoy watching them all come out.
Cy-no help on the fingernail thing as I just did the bandaid thing also but I always put neosporin. Not sure if it helped but I thought it did.
ok on this new chemo that I am on. I had this dry smokers cough and I am not a smoker. I knew it was from my lungs but living in denial you dont always admit things. Anyway as you all know it was in my lungs sooooooooooo I have been on this chemo since Friday and did you know for the past 2 nights I have not woke up coughing and I dont think I have coughed at all yesterday and so far not today. Would it work that fast? Well I mean obviously it is cause this has been going on for over a month now but just seems too weird. I also know my pelvic bone is hurting like it has been. By george this crap must be working! Woohooo dancing around. Be glad you all cant see that. Perfect image would be elaine on seinfield.
ok enough about me but was just excited and wanted to share it. We all hate chemo but heck if it does its job then it must be worth it cause I sure dont plan on going anywhere anytime soon.
Hope everyone is having a fantabulous humpday.
Amy

Melissa and Tami,
THANK YOU FOR THE NEW START!!!!
I am so glad you stepped in here.
I will repeat what I once wrote-
Back when I was first diagnosed I found a breast cancer support forum. The ladies there were wonderful to me. They held my hand and got me through the toughest of times. And most importantly, they taught me how to help the newly diagnosed by their wonderful example.
Unfortunately, that board was NOT moderated by women like Melissa and Tami and we had some problems and fights broke out and the mods didn't help. Next thing we knew women were leaving and our core group disintegrated. I was lost. I was lonely. And then I found BCO. I have found a home here and I treasure it. I salute Melissa and Tami for their skill in moderating and juggling all this "inside baseball" while in the midst of a major forum overhaul.
I started my site as a place to go to ALONG WITH BCO. I will always feel that BCO is home. I will continue to post here and offer the love I was given by so many so often.
It is devasting when a group of women you have come to rely on disappears. Don't let that happen here. We have each other and we know where to find each other and there is no reason there should ever be any negative energy here. Negativity is NOT conducive to healing.
Some of you are post treatment and moving beyond, but you still have a lot of healing to do with all the side effects from Tx and getting used to the new normal your bodies have been thrown into.
Some of you are in treatment and dealing with the day to day hell of that.
Some of you are in treatment for Mets and it is a hard struggle but one that can be endured and won.
We need each other and we need to be kind to each other and we also need to be grateful that this site is moderated the way it is because I have seen first hand what happens to large breast cancer support boards that are not- and it isn't pretty.
So let's embrace this new start that was given to us.
We have one and only one enemy. And that is CANCER.
Shel, I know you were frustrated last night and rightly so. You have always been my friend and I will always be yours. And I am here for you whenever you need me.
PEACE.

Remember our first post here?
21 Aug 2006 09:59 PMThis has been a rough few days...
It is time for us to hook up our horses and circle our wagons around some of our dear sisters who need us the most right now.
Robin, Rhymee, Mena, Denise, Cheri, Marsha, Katz & Sarah, Gwenn, Pennylane, Dianne, Shelliks and all who need some love and care from the sisterhood.
I will take the first watch.Think about who we lost since then. We need each other now more than ever.

Hi Gina! I'm hoping things have calmed down here and we can all just go about the business of living. I'm not quite sure what went on here, but that's probably just as well. I don't check in as much as I used to, because I just don't have time right now. It's as simple as that. I would like to welcome all the new girls that I've missed! We are a great bunch!!!

Hi Everyone,
just popping in during a work break.
Marsha- glad your surgery went well.
Traci - welcome to the circle. How are you girl? Haven't heard from you in a few weeks, will call you today.
I too obviously missed something, but since it was apparently something not nice - I won't even attempt to go back and find out what it is.
Well, sorry, gotta run. Hope to be able to post more towards the end of the week. This has been a crazy week, and I am way behing work-wise.
Sending you all hugs and chocolate xxx

Good Afternoon Everyone: It was a beautiful day here in the Chicago end of the circle. 76 degrees and sunny. The trees changing color are beautiful.
Melissa and Tami: Thank you for a fresh start. I have been on this site everyday since April 3, 2005. That was the day I was told I have breast cancer. I was frantically looking up everything I could about this disease. Somehow, someway, I dont know how, but I not only came upon bc.org - but I found myself in the chat room. Someone asked me if I have breast cancer and I started crying cause that was the first time I had to say yes "I have breast cancer." Since then, I have gone through this journey with many. Helped some, some helped me. We helped each other - what would I have done without bc.org? I do not know. I seem to forget, cause I dont thank you enough - for giving an opportunity to talk about things, meet people, and build friendships. A bond like no other.
Gina: Gosh, after that post, what can one say?
MargaratB: The ants are gone! Wonderful.
Thinking about taking my dog for an evening walk.

Hi ladies,
Been a long time since I have visited the circle I apologize as work as taken me on great adventures! I am doing good still and still cancer free....I love my new job and most of the things that go with it!
My husbands son that came to live with us is now living in a group home on the west coast... that became such a stress that it is best this way... now I only have my soon to be 16 yr old daughter to deal with... sweet 16 next week!
My marriage is going not to bad.... lol could be worse I guess!
Oh and puppy is still a high strung little shite... but have come to love the little brat with all my heart... We did chose a good name for him ... chewy and omg he chews everything and anything.... It really was no lie when my youngest had to tell her teacher her dog ate it.....
I just thought I would poke in and post a little on
Ravencaine.... this one has hit me really hard..... so I just have one little thing to ask of you... and thats can you light a candle for Ravencaine I want her to know no darkness!
Well I need to go get hubby and will check back in later.... I took the day off as I hurt my back .....I am sure sitting at my computer is great rest
Take care and I think of you all often!!

Neesie, hey girlyfriend.

Vickie, hope your getting over your pneumonia.
Have a peaceful evening.

Tracy: OMG how I have missed you. I am so glad things are going well. Think about you all the time. You must pm me and tell me whats going on with Ravencaine.
A candle for our friend.
Cheri: What doctor are you seeing tomorrow? I seem to be missing out on everything.
Vickie: Pneumonia is tough. I just want to say there is a very important rule shall we say or philosophy. We agree to disagree with each other. Show respect to each other. And always make sure whatever we post - will be something a new person will read and say - hey - this sounds like a really good place.

Nicki -- Ravencaine is dying. They discovered she had lung mets last month and she has been in and out of the hospital getting fluid drained from her lungs. Last week, she went into pallative care as they said chemo wouldn't work for her and there was nothing to be done. She is currently in the hospital on oxygen and morphine. We have been posting about this in the Chat Room Friends forum.
