    CY:  I drove around all days wondering how you are doing.  Forgot to say hello to you today.  Im not sure how to reach out to you.  I do know that there are so many of us who love you and we are concerned about you.  Guess you probably went to work today.  I remembered you saying you may not be able to post, but you will come to read what we are saying.  There is a bright light i the middle of the circle for you with many women holding hands to give you courage and strength.  You are one special lady in my book.

    Slonedeb -- gentle hugs for you.  You are always in my thoughts and prayers.  I'm sorry about the pain you are having to endure. Surely there is something they can find to help you so you can continue your treatment. 

    Candie -- please let us know as soon as you get your test results.  Gentle hugs.

    Puppy -- hello, it is good to see you drop in and to know that Jankay has such a loyal friend in you.  Please tell her to keep her bloomers on.  :>

    Jankay -- hi there.  I hope you had a good day filled with mischief and fun.  Gentle hugs.

    Well, I joined this group about a month ago and still can't figure out what is going on.  But I keep reading hoping there will be clues to what seems like a B movie with a bad plot.  There still is warmth and compassion around this fire so I think I'll stay a while and see what happens next.  Got my mind off cancer for a time anyway.

    Slonedeb, I'm so sorry you are in so much pain.  I feel a connection, too, since you are a fellow Kentucky girl.  I hope you find some relief soon.  I hate the thought that you feel like quitting chemo when it may be working, but you have to do what is right for you.  Talk it over with your doctor and maybe he can do something to help you get through this.  You are here in the center.  Check in whenever you can.

    Candie, hope the ultrasound results come back the way you want.  Glad to see you posting.

    Shrink, hang in there with us!  We are making strides.  I am feeling so optimistic that we can do this.  I hope to get to know you more.

    Lisa, don't worry about being confused, just jump in and be yourself.  You have such a talent with photography.  Your pictures always brighten my day.  I always enjoy the ones you have with your CA sisters. 

    I can't believe I'm doing this, I'm going to audition for the next show that comes after the one I'm doing now.  It's "It's a Wonderful Life" as a radio show.  I think the actors sit on the stage like they are in a radio booth and doing the show on the air.  I may not get a part, but I have vowed to audition for every show I can.  I will make myself known!  I told you I was stubborn.

    Thanks for putting my friend in the circle.  I told her and she was moved.  She's lost about 30pounds with all the stress and still continues to work every day unless she has to be in court.  She has to take her girls to mandatory counseling in Lexington 3 days per week, talk to the county attorney's office, social workers, lawyers, etc.  She is one tough cookie.

    Gotta go, auditions start in 25 minutes, wish me luck!

    Good evening circle....well we have made strides today.

    Shrink...welcome to this wonderful place...pull up a chair by the bonfire and tell us all about yourself...we'll supply whatever you need if we can and we are especially good at giving out hugs. 

    Lisa...why the confused couch sweet lady.  Just be you.  Hugs

    Candie...thats a lot of tests for one girl!  Sending you gentle hugs.

    Nicki...nice video!

    Sheri...good luck on the audition!  Break a leg dear girl.

    Peter...nice circle. 

    Slonedeb...we have been worrying about you.  Putting you in the center with lots of love and hugs.  Wish I had some good answers for you but I don't.  What can we do to bring a smile...what are some of your favorite things.

    (((Puppy)))...good to see you. 

    CY...more prayers your way. 

    I think we need to start a shower of cards to CY...lets send out as many as we can for just this week.  I know that there are other plans in the works but we can do this too.  I'll send one tomorrow. 

    Jasmine...howdy

    ok...gotta get dinner ready...

    Sheri -- that is wonderful.  I know you got a part.  :)

    Vickie got home and her furnace is broken so she's scooped up Nate and gone to her sister's for the evening.  She asked me to tell everyone and give you each a hug.

    My wagon is covered with a quilt made by my grandma with love.
    who was taken by the beast, her love covers all that enter.

    I have plenty of chillo pillows and hand held fans for those
    nasty flashes. and warm compresses for those achy bones.

    There are some nice down filled comforters over there in the corner
    for any one tired from treatment today, rest sweet sisters.
    I'll get you a nice drink what ever you want, a ear to listen a hand to hold.

    I came here because I had been on this Journey too , but from the outside
    looking in when deese was dx'd. Feeling scared,helpless and angry at this horrible beast, trying to watch diligently that it didn't come for me too ! But as you all know, the beast does not fight fair, and I find myself on a scary journey of my own.

    To the ladies that have just joined, Welcome ! the circle is a caring loving place,

    To my friends that have been here since the start, I am reaching out to you in an effort to help you bring this place of caring back full circle.

    Deb and Cy surrounding you in prayer and love ~

    Good evening circle girls and Peter

    It's been a good day on this side of the circle.  One filled with peace, hope, and joy.  I hope the same can be said for everyone here.

    I found a lighthouse to help guide those that might be lost and light the  path to the center of the circle for those that need extra protection.

    I know Peter will be keeping watch tonight.

    Pulling out my tropical hammocks to offer comfort and support to all those in need.  There is plenty of sunshine, cool ocean breezes, and lots of white sand.  A few minutes on the hammock and you are transported to an instant place where there is no pain, no worries, and no heartache...just healing.  You can let the cool ocean breezes blow away your fears and worries; let the bright sunshine heal your aches and pains; or just run your toes through the white soft sand and all the stiffness dissapears.  There are no limitations, the sky is the limit.  Can you picture it? The hammocks are ready any time you need them.

    SORRY   DIDNT  WORK

    Sorry to worry you all. I did work Sat for only 3 hours then came home and climbed in bed.

    No Scott's Van is tan so I can't use the excuse of the red car. He had to miss work today to see the chiropractor who wants him in every day this week and put him on light duty. he also gave him a place to get an estamite done on the damage to the van over $3000! Yike and a lawyers number. he sees the lawyer on Wed.

    Scott and his buddy got most of the drywall up in the shower but found bad pipes that were leaking and the shower fixture broke off. We can't fix it ourselves and have to turn the water off to the whole house or we get a flooded house because of it. I have no credit so everything we do has to be cash. and we just weren't planing on a plumber! I have asked around work to see if anyone there knows a plumber that would work under the table but haven't heard anything yet. so we are on day 3 without water. Can you say when it rans it pours!

    I also called and left a message for my Onc to let her know that the old port site is now as wide as my pinkie finger and almost 1/2" deep. I asked to get a refferal to a Wound Care Specialist. I'm tired of playing around with this. So I have to to to yet another hospital on Wed to get seen by the Wound Healing Clinic at Swedish Hospital. There isn't one set up in my hospital group! I sure hope they are covered by the insurance.

    I think I figured out a way to mangage my work day and the pain. For every 1.5 hours I work I lay down for 10 min. and I take the pain meds every 2.5 hours. I made it through today doing that.

    Well it looks like things are picking up here. I was gone for a couple days and had Pages to read to catch up. Now I'm exhausted!

    Thank you for the Birthday and think of you cards! Gina I got the angel today lighting the way to the warmth and comfort that this circle you started brings to me.

    Scott took me to dinner today and got me some nice errings and some hopefully more comfortable bras for my birthday. We new tomorrow would be too busy so we went out tonight.

    Mary, Please have paients it takes time for all to get to know you. And just because someone doen't mention you by name doen't mean they aren't thinking of you. You see there have been over 100 women and a couple men that are part of this circle. And just because someone doesn't or can't post anymore doen't mean we have forgotten them.

    That's why you'll often seen the saying

    "Hugs & Prayers from Amy to Z"

    That way we have everyone covered.

    Noe I really must go take another pill and laydown

    Higs & Perayers and thinking of you all from Amy to Z

    It will lead you to where you are supposed to be.

    We are all waiting for you and love you so very much.

    Happy Birthday Sweetie- it is after twelve here so it is officially your day!

    Carrie, thank you for reposting that old post of yours from when this circle began. It was a beautiful and loving place then.

    Edited to add: Cy I hope you can find a wound care doc. That port sounds terrible!!!

    CY:  I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

    I am so glad you checked in.  Have been worried about you.  I cant believe everything that is happening to you - yet once again you come across so strong.  You are an inspiration to me.  The wound at your port sounds awful and Im glad you got a referral to a wound clinic.  At least it sounds like you are getting yourself a schedule to manage your pain and thats good.  I hate seeing you have to go to work, but really understand why you have no other choice.  You just brigthened my day.

    Carrie:  Oh your wagon post brought tears to my eyes, we did have a special thing back then didnt we.  A walk through memory lane.
