Good morning, Everyone. I didn't sleep very well. Back to 1 mg ativan instead of .5mg. G, to answer your question I have lobular, DCIS, IDC and IBC. What are the odds of having all of that in one breast? And true, those nodes are not in there anymore but if 21 of 21 were positive, I'm assuming that whatever are left are also positive. I wish I were as positive about the outcome here. Thanks again to all for the hugs and support through all this. I thought that when my MRI came back "no evidence of malignancy in either breast" I was out of the woods. This trip is full of unpleasant surprises. This group has been one of the good ones. I'm having a pity party at the moment so excuse my whining. A friend is coming over today to play Scrabble. Maybe we can use curse words. I know a few. I admit that I'm not feeling much like a warrior, more like a wimp.

Shrink, feel free to whine, this is the place to do it. We are here for you. The women here are the silver lining in the cloud we found ourselves under.
Candie, poor thing will forever more associate his birthday with his mom's death.
Back later.

Good Morning!!
Shrink, I know you feel like your legs have been cut out from under you - who wouldn't at this point. Gina, Deb, Amy and others that my brain can't recall names at the moment, have truly been in the trenches. Have a pity party, whine, be a wimp- I think that is normal. Then you get angry and come out with the boxing gloves on. Many will walk the path of treatment with you - we have our gloves on too. You know, I'm thinking your presurgery treatment worked - how many nodes did it prevent from becoming involved? Enjoy your day with your friend.
Sloandeb, sending you warm wishes for a better day. Hope you get home real soon. Big Hugs!!
Vickie, so glad that you had a better day at work; maybe part of it is just missing the residents at the old job. I didn't realize this job is so different from the one you had. Sounds interesting. I've never heard of having to pay for parking and that much - whew!!! The only GOOD thing from that is that it is tax deductible (or should be). Hope you enjoy today too. Has the snow melted any yet?? It was the low 20's here last night/this morning and by Sunday we are to see 70 degrees again. No wonder my head hurts!!!!!!!!
Nicki, see you haven't been to the boards this morning. Not a good sign.
Take care.
Ok, my head is still hurting and I'm signing off - I'm not feeling to good on my tummy all of a sudden. BBL.

Good Morning Everyone! Well its official. I called off work today. Still have a nagging headache, but for the most part I think I could have pulled myself together and went in. I just decided I needed a 4 day week-end. And I slept in! Thats a wonderful feeling to be able to do that again. Waking up at 4am seems to be history.
Leighann: Here is hoping your mom is feeling better this morning. Please tell her we miss her. Sending big hugs to both of you.
Vickie: Good morning sunshine sister. Looks like I missed my sunshine post for the day. Slept in. This little ol headache isnt gonna last long. But I sure am glad I took today off. Hoping you didnt chew your fingernails down too low. They do need to look pretty for the holidays. I have to tell ya, your job sounds like fun. A totally different situation than your were in before. The only thing that would make me crazy is having to pay for my parking!! Give me a break. I hope I see you later today. That is if Im not in bed sleeping my life away.
Marian: You have been given lots of advice and support. When I was first diagnosed I started a journal. I wrote down all of my feelings. Much desperation and a sense of hopelessness. I now go back to read it and smile. Ive come along way baby! You need to sort through your feelings. Im glad your friend is coming over today. Keep taking the Ativan. Yes the other nodes might have bc. But they might not too!! You just dont know. The lymph nodes did what they are supposed to do. Act as the filtering system. Pity parties are allowed and look, so many of us are here for you. So many more will be coming along. We are in this together. Lots of ladies here with many lymph nodes positive and doing great. I remember one quote from my journal. I was so sad. I sat down to write and the first sentence was "OK so I had a some wine and xanax." Then proceeded to write the goofiest thing. It makes me laugh to this day. Anyways - you will go through a whole bunch of emotions. Thats normal. Soon enough anger is gonna come along. Yes anger at this beast and thats when you will begin to fight. This isnt hopeless my friend. Put those boxing gloves on and slap down that bc! Sending lots of hugs your way.
CY: Im glad the surgery is over and that your at home resting. There sure are alot of us praying for you and your family. Sending lots of hugs your way.
OK - I know I have missed many, but this girl is going back to bed. I will check in later.

From Puppy to Slonedeb & Leighann,
"My heart has been heavy these past few days with worries about your Mom, she is a sweetheart. Let her know that I've been praying and praying for her. More prayers are on their way, Sweetie."
Puppy's computer isn't working, so she asked me to get on the computer and find out about your Mom. She now has your address. She wanted me to send you this message, and then she told me she had to get off the phone to pray. She loves you both very much...

Shrink-
Oh Girlfriend...I can pull out my party planner to help with your pity party...I am the Queen of pity parties...
You have every right to take as much time as you need to work through all the feelings. I spent weeks with my head between my knees just trying to remember how to breathe. I cried for weeks. I was a snotty pitiful mess. After a while, and a couple of bottles of Lexapro, I kind of came out of the fog and found out I was mad....really REALLY mad. That was when I was ready to fight. Until that time my friends and family had to fight for me. They were my prayer warriors.....we can be yours.
Take the time you need. Don't apologize for how you are feeling. We really do understand.
Fierce hugs

Good afternoon ladies!
Marian...I am pretty new to the circle, but I'm quite the fighter. I'll fit in pretty good with all the others on this thread who are ready and willing to help you fight your way through this journey. We'll stand ready to help you attack your fears and move on. Hang in there!
MB...When Gina gets your trip to the tropics all arranged, PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!!!!
Margaret...No, I'm still not finished with my wrapping. I got so carried away this year with shopping for my two little grandsons that I'll probably be lucky if I'm done on Christmas Eve! What a switch from last year when I could barely get myself off the couch! :-) I'm sure that all you grandmas out there can relate!!!
Hope all is still going well for you CY. I can't get you out of my mind and you'll remain in my prayers for as long as they are needed.
Gotta get a move on......always something that needs to be done around here!

Sometimes I feel life is passing by so quickly. I couldnt let today go by without mentioning Pearl Harbor Day.
Rita: Like you, I cant get CY out of my mind.
Hello to everyone else. Just popping my head in to say hello.

I do feel guilty, Ladies, because so many of you have bigger problems than a bunch of nodes. Having said that, I find that hese drains are very awkward to deal with. Today was the first day I experienced pain which required anything like Oxycodone. My chest was numb for the first few days and now it feels like it's coming to life. painfully. I just took the oxy which I was fighting and rested almost blissfully on the sofa watching Ellen, Oprah and Dr. Phil.
Best to all of you,
Marian

Can we all say...............Neesie is way............behind! I've been trying to keep up..........but, well I'm a scatterbrain! I read, post and don't remember squat!
Nicki: Hope your headache has left the premises and you're feeling better. I'm not a headache person.......I don't know how the ones with Migranes do it.
And please...........quit sending your nasty weather to me!!!!
Susan: Do tell..........what kind of a dog am I? And calling me the "female" version doesn't count!!
Shrink: A wimp!! I think NOT..........you are a lady that just went through one hell of a operation and not only does your body have to heal........your mind has to absorb all the new terms and all the treatment plans so many are throwing at you. Whine away..........it gives an excuse to serve cheese!
Leighann: I am ashamed to say that I'm not sure who your Mom is....I am sending prayers and hugs her way regardless.........but will someone let me know what I have missed, please.
Naniam: Hope your tummy is feeling better! Don't need one of those nasty bugs floating around. 70 degrees............I only wish I could feel that right now!
Margo: How ya doing friend? Feel like I haven't talked to you much lately! I bounce around so much that I don't know who is where and where I've said what to who!!
Rita: Good to see you again..........I know I've met you someplace.....I remember the avatar with the lovely smile!
Deb: Our busy lady from Alaska! Gee, if the weather is still to mild for you in Alaska..........maybe you should move back to MI!!
Rounding up a couple of girls here...............Haven't heard from Amy. Has anyone heard if she is alright?
Robin............I think she took her new "girls" and fled the country! I forget what name she said she was going to be when the girls were finished....Something to do with "hot mama" but that wasn't it! Robin, we don't want to bug you .... but we would like to know if you are okay!
Vickie: How's work going? One week under your belt! Do you think you are going to like it? I sure hope so!
Well, went to Mom's (thanks Margaret!) today.........actually had a nice visit.....got half way home and she calls me and tells me that I had left my glasses there.............UGGH......turned around and went back.
Had to take one of my clients to the ER yesterday................I could tell something was going on when I first walked into her house. (hard to believe that her DD didn't realize it...........she was at work, but she lives with her!) Did a quick scan of vitals, made a couple of phone calls and had her on her way before she could object! They admitted her and I would imagine she will be there atleast through the weekend.
Christmas Cards! Love them! I had 5 in the mail today..........from all over the Country!!!!
DH drug the Christmas tree upstairs...........thought I'd play hercules and drag the 50 ton tote up with the decorations in it. Pushed and scooted the thing up the stairs............made it halfway and realized I had over estimated my Non-strength! I'm calling Loudly for DH, but of course he is out in the Garage with the radio and tv going..................I'm not able to move cuz I was behind the tote...........If I moved, the whole thing would have fallen back down the stairs!!!!!! Oh well, we finally made it up the stairs....................think the ornaments can wait until tomorrow to hang on the tree!
Once again, knowing I have missed many..........that's my only complaint about the different forums, threads or whatever you call them............I have hard time finding out about people and posting back!!
Oh well, hope you love me anyway!
Hugs,
Neesie

Shrink, This is hard to hear the news you got. But we are all prying for you and will be there to help you fight his battle.
Leighann, please let your mom know we are prying for her we know it has been a tough time in you house and our prayers are with you.
I'm going to go spend some time with my DD, & grand kids over at my sisters so I will try to check in tomorrow.
Thank you all for being with me yesterday and today I feel preety good just a bit tired and sore. Really looking forward to a back massage.
Hugs & prayers
Love Cy

Shrink, your doctors will review your path, figure out the best course of treatment and then you will fight like crazy as we all do. It's hard waiting. Once you get started on the plan you will feel better. Writing a journal like Chemosabi might be a lot of fun for you when you look back. hugs
Leighann tell your mom we are here for her.
CY glad you are home. I'm still praying.
Wish I was there to give you a back rub.susan

Hi girls,
I haven't really read a thing. I've spent most of the day preparing for the predicted ice storm. Please don't let it happen. I so hate ice. They're calling for a 1/2" accumulation in my area. NOOOOOOO! So if I disappear after tomorrow you'll know I am without power.
Susan and Cheri - I see where you guys are in the advisory also. Hmmm is Nicki in it also.
Okay - off to read now.
Hugs

Hi girls, quick flyby tonight.
Shrink, I think I told you the drains were the worst part of this whole journey for me.
Rita, I'm doing the opposite for the grandkids this year - we got them a Wii, so other than a few stocking stuffers, that's what they're getting.
Nicki, I used to get migraines, started getting them a few years ago so knew they were hormonal. I swear, as soon as I was diagnosed, must have scared the crap out of my hormones or something, never had another migraine.
Neesie, Leighann's mom is Slonedeb. Amy is hanging in there. Wasn't Robin going to be a cougar or a hot cougar?
CY, thanks for posting and letting us know how you are doing. Can you feel me massaging the back of your neck and shoulders?
This body is tired; I've been up for 19 hours so it's time for bed. Will be gone until Sunday or Monday.
Take care all.

Good Morning Everyone: Its cold here in the Chicago end of the circle and another storm is on its way. The weathermen have covered their butts. They are saying a mix of ice, sleet, and snow. So who knows what we will get.
Im feeling much better today. So far the headache seems to be gone. Im not sure what it was that I had. Never had a migraine before so it could have been that - but I had a temperature with this so who knows - I think its some kind of crazy virus I picked up. I dont feel so lazy today either. May just stick my head outside and go get some supplies for Christmas crafts before the storm comes through.
No way we could sit around a campfire today - thank goodness we have the lodge. Its nice and warm inside and you can really smell the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
Margaret: So glad the event went well. Gonna miss you here this week-end.
Liz: So they arnt giving you a mixture of stuff? 1/2 inch of ice? Oh no! I will be praying it gets cold enough for snow instead of rain. Looks like this storm is in both our paths.
Susan and Candie: A big hello to you today.
CY: So good to hear from you. Enjoy your time with your family. Glad your feeling better. Sure sounds like a pretty big procedure to me. Sending big hugs your way.
Neese: What an adventurous day. Had to go back to your moms, almost fell down the stairs with all of your Christmas stuff. I think I would have said "thats it" got a glass of brandy and relaxed the rest of the evening.
Marian: Stop feeling guilty my friend. This is why we are here. To share feelings and help each other through hard times. You just went through major surgery. Sometimes I think we try to show the world we are just fine. I did that after surgery. Then I realized Im not a miracle woman. It took me about 4 weeks to recover. I lived on darvocet. I was one of the lucky ones. I had 2 drains and they were taken out 1 weeks after surgery. They were a real pain in the butt. Anyways, the one place you can come and share your feelings is here. Believe me, we understand what its like to be told nodes are positive. It hits ya like a sledge hammer. Just keep recovering from the surgery. Get lots of rest and try not to be superwoman. As you start healing, you will get stronger. And we will all be there right beside you.
Slonedeb: Hoping today is a better day. Im sorry that you are in the hospital with pneumonia. Hoping you get strong enough to come home very soon.
Vickie: Where are you sunshine sister? I havent seen you and Im hoping everything is ok.
Well - gotta go. Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Been up almost all night.......I hate that.......
Anyway, sending prayers and hugs to all.....
I am worried about all the snow/ice storm warnings.......you are all getting Gulf Moisture mixed with your COLD temps. We are hot, humid, and a YULKY hot temp. Our high today will be 80.......I hate the South in the winter.
Stay safe and warm.......today is parent day so I'll be driving "home" for the day........
Oh, if you haven't read the Prayers for Cy thread, please do---there are 2 wonderful pictures of CY.....with her beautiful, warm, loving smile..........

Morning Gals,
Neesie - that was quite a day you had. Been there, hollering for help, realizing man was nowhere to be found, and having to improvise! I'm with Nicki, time to cry uncle, and in my case the Ativan and chocolate! I did get movitated yesterday to do a little decorating. Since I can't get the outside lights up this year by myself, I decided to put all the lights up inside and decorate them, as I don't think we'll splurge for a tree. Well, I managed to get all the lights and stuff up from the outside basement into the house, dump everything on the living room floor, checked the lights (they work), found a hammer and then decided that was more than enough for one day! Whew! Found an Ativan, couldn't locate any chocolate, so settled for some applejuice. I'm really gonna try to get that stuff off the floor today cause my dogs keep stepping on everything!
Nicki - glad you're feeling better today. Love the reindeer all lit up! Like the weekends cause I know you'll be around on your computer a lot!
Vickie - I can't believe you have to pay so much to park! I know in S.D. you have to pay to park downtown, but most companies will subsidize that. Geez .. now you gotta pay to go to work. Somethings wrong with this picture.
Cy - glad you're home and resting. The pics of you and your daughters and grands are beautiful.
MB - we don't get much snow down here, but ice is a HUGE problem for us. I like the snow much better than the ice. Hearing of your son's new apt reminded me of when my son got his first little apt. I was sad and happy at the same time.
Madison - I hope your pain is lessening and that you will be able to sleep better soon. You are such a comfort to us.
Deb - well, today you're on you third year of schmancer survival. Can we celebrate now?!!
Love you gal.Liz - please try to keep your splint on. Really does help with cts.
Slonedeb - We're praying for you all the time. Glad you're getting our cards and hope to see you home soon.
Marian - We're here for you every step of the way. What I regret most going through my tx is that I didn't share my TRUE feelings more. I was superwoman. I wish I had found this group of women sooner and that I had let it all out.
Margaret - Will miss you until you get back. Enjoy your weekend.
Robin - I hope you turn up soon ... have been missing you too.
Brenda - I hope you're feeling better today. It's supposed to warm up a little in our part of the world. Yeah!!!
G - thinking of you always.
I know I've missed a million of you, but I need to get to work (thank goodness for that), hopefully get those lights up and work on the "bill lottery."
love to all from Amy to Zazette,
Bren

Good morning cg's...yes I have been up for quite some time but decided that I had to get the housework done first and foremost!! I got groceries last night and Friday nights are usually "cleaning night" so we have everything done for the weekend...needless to say it didn't get done till this morning.
Sending so many prayers for dear CY.
MB...hey...you yourself say your the "nut on the hill" LOL. You LIKE snow...honey...get your bikini out and lets head back to Cocoa Beach! I have seriously had enough and it looks like Sunday night through Tuesday are going to be interesting with an ice storm heading our way.
Speaking of ice storms...those of you that are currently in its path...please stay home...stay safe.
Bren...you're doing bill lottery too! Cool...my phone, internet television lost this week LOL. They are all on one bill but they are just gonna have to wait it out. Ativan (or in my case Xanex)and chocolate sound like just the thing!
Hey sunshine sister Nicki...I'm here...I have a couple coming soon for engagement photo's and two little girls after that for Christmas photos...have everything set up and ready...just waiting. Then I do believe that I may take Nate and go see "Mr. Magorium's Magical Emporium"...I think thats the title. Its at the little theater in Owego...3.50 a person! Can't beat that and its right across the street from the dollar store so we might go there too.
Hi Neesie..work got better as the week went on...just weary and overwelmed this week. Whine whine...lol.
Madison...love ya giggle sister...stay safe.
Liz...I hope you don't get the ice...I don't want it either. We always lose power when we get ice. This has been one wild winter so far. I have had enough. Love ya.
Margaret...I really hope you're still sleeping. Don't think I could do 19 hours anymore if my life depended on it! I have all I can do to stay awake driving home.
Still waiting on an appointment with a breathing doc...seems things are really backed up. Still coughing and hacking but feelin fine.
Ahh...my couple are here...I'll be back
love and hugs from A to Z

Good morning sisters. I've been MIA the last few days had to take a break to reduce my blood pressure. I even had to call in sick on Thursday because my BP was very high. No surprise considering all the stress with mom, busy job, and the holidays.
I have been saying special prayers for CY, Slonedeb, Shrink, and my chemo sister Kim825. I hate what this disease is doing to you and I pray God continues to shower you with strength and healing light.
Update on mom...she now has a home health nurse checking in on her every day and a nursing assistant helping her with daily hygiene. I am so relieved because this will lift some pressure off of dad. He is such a good person. He told me the other day he feels that what he is doing for mom is the least he could do for her after all she has done for him for the past 50 years. Hard to think they have been together that long. They have loved each other since they were teenagers. How sweet is that? I pray God gives him strength to deal with the future as he will be turning 70 and has seen a lot of heartache (sp?) in his life. Okay, enough rambling on....
BTW- the Christmas cards are on their way! I mailed out over 50 cards. Fantastic! I just love spreading holiday cheer. Every day I rush to the mailbox to see what surprises I will find. Thank you all for sending me such love and joy. It really brightens up my day.
Off to decorate our skinny artificial tree. Sending love and hugs to all and wishing you good weather, stay safe. Stay warm ladies and please send some cool weather my way it's too hot here for December. Leaving you with some Christmas humor....

Good afternoon!
I am at work today. 10 am to 4pm. It's overtime so it helps...to do my bill lottery--oh Vickie...I think that is sooo funny being called that..but oh so true.
After work I have to go to a meeting at my church and then home to grab a bite to eat and then to a wake. Busy,busy,busy today. Oh, and when I went to Mass this morning, I lit a candle for Cy and Shrink.
Nickie, glad you are feeling better today. Guess that storm is heading this way. That is our forcast for Sunday,Monday and Tuesday. Love your reindeer!!
Rita, I so agree with you in the difference in myself,too, from last year
Liz, I hope that ice storm stays far away from you
Madison,thanks for the headsup on pics of Cy
Vickie,enjoy the movie--I saw that 2 weeks ago...a nice movie--Nate will like it and u too of course.
Odalys,love the dead Santa-roflmao
Well, gonna read some more threads. Enjoy the afternoon. Prayers and hugs to all from A to Z

You all are wonderful. Have I every told you that. Today is house cleaning day and you should see my house. LOL Won't be back for a while.
Madison, why were you not sleeping? is something wrong?
Liz, that's all anybody around here can talk about is the coming ice storm/rain. My dh is going to buy wood. Last year was so awful, we are going double time to prepare.
Special thought for all who are hurting and/or going through treatment.
hugs to all,

Taking a break from my "accomplish Nothing" day to say Hi to all! All I want for Christmas is a shot of ambition and organization!
Poor fake tree is still sitting where I left it............has a few ornaments on it and the rest are laying all over the couch! I'm not putting as many ornaments on it this year..........but I have a feeling I'm missing some of them. Gotta head down under and see if I used another tote last year.
DH decided to fill the hot tub today...........decided I didn't want to be here while he was in and out and the hose running from the laundry room to the deck and yada yada yada..........So, my best idea was to go to Kohls (early bird sale) and Meijer. What a waste..........At this point I have no idea what I am getting the one's I haven't bought for yet........so I walked around Kohls for an hour....picked up a couple picture frames and socks for the DH. Went to Meijer, picked up some groceries and junk food and came home.
Back to the hot tub...........it always (except this year) gets filled in Sept or Oct............anyhow, 250 gallons of water is sitting in it and the motor or something is froze. This does not make DH happy! He is trying to melt the pipe or something like that...............I just looked out the bay window at the deck (where hot tub is) and he has a "quartz" light aimed at the bad pipe...........covered everything with 2 tarps and a comforter and last I heard he had to "find a board!" (Anyone remember the dryer repair??) He's trying to keep the 250 gallons from freezing till he can figure out what's going on!
So, yup that's the excitement at this house!
Susan: I'm a Golden Retriever!! After reading the above......don't think I fit into the "party animal" description!!
Margo: Where are you off to? You're right..Robin was going to be a Cougar!
Thanks for filling me in on who Leighann was............Finally clicked last night.
Nicki and Bren: Totally agree on the decorations.............I'm not putting many up, cuz in two weeks I just have to take them down! I was talking to my DD today.............started laughing over the stupid tree.
We always had a Real Tree.....yup, gathered all and went and chopped one down.
Then I went to a 7' artificial tree.
Last year I downsized to a 4 1/2 footer.
Thinking next year I might just slap a Ceramic tree on the mantel!
DD said she can see it now...........within 3 years I'll just be sticking one of those Window forms up and calling it good!!
Darn............DH is needing help..............he never asks for help!
Hoping all are doing well................We're ready for the Ice Storm too.......Certainly hope they are way wrong...................Did I ever say I hate winter?!?!
Hugs,
Denise

We're not having a tree this year, so I decided to hang ALL the lights (indoor and outdoor) up inside. It looks like a cross between Chistmas and the Mustang Ranch in NV. Then I hung up all my handmade bows (usually I'm quite the Xmas tree decorator) all over the lights with little straw angels pinned to them, and some little color coordinated bulbs to match! Themes of gold and burgandy. I'm not done yet, but I got tired of that project so I thought I'd see what everyone was up to.
I was starting to sink back into total depression over the "bill lottery" but now I'm laughing so hard, I think I'll be okay until tomorrow. I like the idea of slapping an Xmas tree form on the window and calling it done!
HoHoHo,
Bren

Hey ladies...just got a call from sis. Dad had to rush mom to the hospital because she was shaking all over, unable to speak clearly, and hasn't been able to eat for two days. Also, she fell eight days ago and the leg wound is not looking good. Oh God...
