Hi girls,
My computer has been in the shop and it's driving me batty! I miss you guys.
Please keep my friend Teresa in your prayers. She recently found out she has cancer of the lining of her brain. I don't know all the details but know she went to MD Anderson and they told her she couldn't get any other treatment there than what she was getting in OKC.
It's a busy time of year and I'll be so glad to see it over! I have an oncology appt. today. Markers are up six tenths of a point. They're slowly rising but I'm not stressed. ? I'll see what he says and go from there.
I'm ready for the next Pinkstock! That's what I'm getting for Christmas is money so I can go. LOL
Hugs
Liz

I think the moderators may have switched to a quicker "timeout" period again, as a way to defray spammers from luxuriating at our sites with multiple posts.
Just a heads up...

Well, I finally read back ....should made notes but I was so engrossed with reading.
Slonedeb,glad you are feeling better
Odalys,prayers to you and your mom...loved the holiday message
Prayers for Teresa.
Like the idea of a bc rally...I'd love to help...how do you all find out about the symposiums?
Well, I feel better that I am up to date now. Still have a few gifts to wrap. I made the cookie batters last Sunday and still haven't had a chance to bake them. They are chilling in the frig. Working a 9-9 day today...45 minutes to go.
Hugs and prayers to all,
Candie

Shrink, you will do fine on xeloda.
As long as you keep on top of your s/es
If you start to get diareahh let your doc know rigth away and get liquid immodium. I got used to it. Instead of orange juice in the morning I would have my shot of Immodium.
CY, praying for you always
Odalys my prayers are with you and your mom

Quickly popping in to say hi and I hope everyone enjoys the holidays! I am leaving early tomorrow to stay with my parents for Christmas and I have to do laundry, food shopping, a few errands, pack up for myself and the boys (DH is on his own where packing is concerned!) and make sure all the Christmas present are wrapped and marked! It's gonna be a busy day! I may not have time to check in while I am away, but I will be back on 12/28!
Happy holidays, everyone!!
*Hugs*

Amy - I'm hoping you're doing okay right now getting your scans done. And waiting for some word via the Blackberry. Keeping everything I've got crossed!
Nicki - I've been thinking about you a lot. I think my psychic 60's radar connection to you is on overdrive. I don't know what else to say.
Frankly, I'm tired of pretending everything is A OKAY. Yup, Christmas is going to be fine, we're gonna get through the holidays, it's a joy to be with family and I'll be happy to see me mom. BUT, it's a huge drain physically, financially and emotionally. I am so connected to all my sisters that I can't bare one more ounce of sad news. I'm so mad at God that I could scream. Doesn't do much good to be pissed at cancer ... that's just a bunch of mutant cells.
I had my first post tx mammo yesterday. Everything looked good. My surgeon gave me a big bear hug and then I started hyperventilating ... but then he said he wants to see me in 3 months. WTF. So, I decided to check my pathology once again when I got home. Maybe I was missing something. I was. Turns out in addition to IDC, I also had ILC. So, I really have to be taking some kind of HT. Guess, I'll try Evista next. Too late for second guessing ...
Mr. Tim is back at the doc's in North Carolina today. He can barely walk. I tried to get him to write down a list of what to tell the doctor he had to check for and what scans to demand. L and S discs, etc. Men are lousy at communicating with doctors. I even spelled the word neurologist and told him to get referral!!
Now, even though I'm royally pissed off at God, that doesn't mean I'm not gonna pray so hard and loud he won't be able to miss me stomping my feet and asking him to answer all your prayers.
I love you guys more than you'll ever imagine,
Bren
PS - I just heard from Mr. Tim. The doc scheduled on MRI for the 27th and he put him out of work until Jan. 2 when he gets the MRI results, and who knows for how long after that. He's on his way home. The doc gave him muscle relaxers and pain pills. Too bad he didn't give him a bucket of money too.0 -
Hi Brenda - I know what you mean by pretending everything's OK. The LE specialist told me today how important a good attitude is. Well, I have an attitude alright - pissed. How come so many surprises are unpleasent ones like finding out you have another cancer going on which you were unaware of. I have 4 myself.
I hope you and Mr. Tim have a great holiday anyway. Buckets of health and money would be good presents for the new year.

Hi Marian,
Yea buddy ... just throw me in the pissy, whiny, crying tent! But .. I did hear that Amy got good news and that put a smile on my face. I've been pretty self-focused (duhh), but Mr. Tim is suffering too, so I'm going to try to be supportive of him for awhile. So instead of being pissed off that he can barely walk and is in sooo much pain he can't stand it ... I'm gonna try to be a nice girl.
I'm with you, though, don't tell me to have a freakin' good attitude ... my attitude is just fine under the circumstances .. and 99% of the time quite lovely!!
Love ya Marian

Hi girls,
Just popping in quickly. It's been one of those weeks. I have a bone scan to rule out (hate that phrase) bone mets on the 27th. Yippee.
Nicki - I'll meet you in the tent hon. I have some new boxing gloves we need to break in.
Everyone is always in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs
Liz

Liz, praying for good news for scan.
Oh, I'd love to join the pissy tent.
Marian, hugs to you
Bren, hugs for Mr Tim
Have to work today 10-4:00. Gonna do some food shopping after and go to Mass at 5:30...will light my candle for all of you.
such a hectic week,huh? Well, this is Christmas! I do feel it is much too materialistic. I want to change that in my life...since bc. It is so hard to when I have such a materialistic family. My DD's feel like I do too..it's all other family members....gonna change that next
year. Because of my medical expenses, I am so behind the eight-ball..but what did I do...spent much too much money that I don't have. But my parents and sisters just don't understand. That's ok...if I got through bc, I can get through this.
Next Christmas, I would like to get a hall donated and have a nice dinner and presents for those who otherwise wouldn't have a Christmas. Children...so many children don't get presents. I could get a lot of people to help as I have been passing the word around already.Ever since bc, I have a need to DO something... and by golly, I am gonna to do it!!
Have a great day...will check in later.
Hugs and prayers,
Candie

Good Morning Everyone: We all must be pretty busy trying to get ready for the Holidays cause it sure is quiet around here. I got to sleep late this morning which felt so good.
Im really stressed now over the Holidays. It just sorta hit me last night while I was driving home from work. My nerves are fringed!
Im going to enjoy today. Bake cookies, make fudge, and wrap Christmas presents. Dont need to go anywhere! Thank goodness.
Liz: Dang I hate to here that you got concerning news right before the holidays. Good luck with your scans. Bring in those new boxing gloves and punching bag to the pissy tent. I need to burn of tons of negative energy.
Candie: Yep, over spent here too. I would so much enjoy just the family getting together over a nice meal. Enjoy each others company and celebrate life. Sorry you have to work today.
Thought I would bring some Christmas sunshine to everyone. Here in Chicago it is really wanted. Yesterday bad fog, today rain turning to snow.
Hoping your day filled with sunshine and love.

MB - wow talk about bringing back memories with the peeled grapes! Speaking of that, please keep Tink in your prayers. She's going through some rough times and she needs us. I hear from her through email. She's just as sweet as ever. Mags and Windy are well also.
suzy - it is good to express your anger. I seem to be doing that more lately. Hugs
candie - nice to see you! I agree, so many do without during Christmas. I think you have a wonderful idea. I too feel like I need to "do" something after experiencing BC.
Nicki - gloves and bag are here whenever you need them. So am I.
It's raining, cold and very windy here in OK. I don't think I'll get out of my jammies today.
Hugs
Liz

Hello dear CG's. It's been an extemely busy week at work and also with mom so ill in the hospital. All I can say is... thank God for getting me through this week!!!!! I haven't had much computer time so I'll need to go back an catch up with everyone.
Thank you all for your wonderful cards, prayers, and well wishes. Mom is doing a little better but her condition is grave. She has now developed fluid in her abdomen and can't eat much. She is still in the hospital and we don't know when she will be discharged. So sad...
CY - I continue to pray for you. My heart sank when I read your latest challenges. You are my hero. Keep fighting and we will continue to send you positive and strong energy your way. We are holding your hand and watching your back. May the Lord grant you peace.
Good Lord so much bad news lately. I've lit candles, said prayers, kept positive, tried my best to stay focused, and continue to take Effexor daily but, I can't seem to shake off all the emotions. Wow, we are all due for some good news and happier times. Please make room for me in the pissy tent.
Okay, off to take Marcy to the vet. She has been digging under the fence and has managed to get some type of eye infection. Afterwards, I need to do some x-mas shopping. I'll try to check in again at night.
Have a good, safe, warm, dry, and pain free day. Love and hugs,

AliceSuzy,
Thanks for the reminder of David and the Psalms. Now .. that guy had more human frailities than most, and since my faith isn't so great right now, I'll stick to the Psalms.
Liz - Staying in my jammies all day too!!
Nicki - radar still going strong ...
Okay, update on Mr. Tim and sleeping through the night. Nobody did. He can't get comfortable, likes to pull the covers up from the bottom, I get all tangled up, can't find a spot, tried to find one about halfway down the bed and a little "kittycorner." He says I was snoring so I must have been asleep. At one point I sat up to see how much real estate he had on his side .. about a foot .. then why was his arm extending three feet into my real estate!! One Lunesta and one Ativan did not knock me out!!! His wailing in pain cut through my meds. Am I heartless, yes I think I am!!! I'm clearing off the guest bed today, which currently holds a buttload of paperwork, because tonight it will hold my butt. Hopefully, his Utram and Soma combo will do him some good tonight ... or maybe I should switch to his combo!!
Love you guys!!
Bren
PS -Better idea about the pissy tent ... throw everybody else out in the freakin' tent and the rest of us gather together by the fireplace and party in a nice warm house with lots of good friends, food, cookies, laughter and holiday cheer!!

Nicki

Nicki - I can't get either. Must be having a problem. Hopefully it will be fixed later. It's starting to snow here. It's that icy/snow stuff. They're calling for 7 - 8" here! I so don't want to here that. I'm not in the mood. LOL
I need booze I think.
0 -
Hmmm! Thats what I figured. 7-8 inches? OMG! Thats stay in jammies, drinking hot apple cider spiked punch. Or we could go get a glass of wine/beer. I wonder if 1:30 PM is too early on a Holiday week-end.
Im sweating my arse off. Almost done with the closet. Cant believe I waited this long.
