TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS GIRLS
Comments

Hello CG's,
Dropped off the edge this week end with a nose bleed! Was sitting at the computer and got a "gusher" that wouldn't stop so in to the ER in the middle of the night for packing. Sheesh, THAT hurts! Pain killers really lay me out so I spent most of the week end sleeping them off. On the road to recovery now and ****HAPPY**** about that!
Nicki, Keeping you in the middle of the circle tonight with DebC and so many others. Feel the care and love, sisters.
DebC, Yes, our friends lived in Gustavus, owned a B&B and fishing charter. Glacier Bay is magical and one of the most beautiful spots on earth, IMHO.
It is so comforting to see this thread so active, Boo46 said it perfectly. There is joy and comfort in the circle!
The coffee pot is still on so stop on by and set a spell. The embers glow and the breeze is heavenly.

Hi Shokk - Waving at you.
Nico - The nose bleed and packing must suck!! Sorry you had a crappy weekend but glad you are feeling better. Are you on avastin? I know that in notorious for bleeding.
Nikki - hoping to hear an update from you. Good to see you but am sorry to hear you are worried. Keeping you in the center.
Deb c- I'm sorry chemo is being so rough. Hope today is a better day. Weve got you in the center too.
I'm off to work a 12 hour day today so probably won't be back on.

I sometimes wonder what the heck has happened. Why is everything so hard and difficult. Before breast cancer things were much easier. Regarding the brain scan - well Im more worried they will find something like Alzheimers instead of cancer. Now how crazy is that?
Actually the more I think about things, Im more concerned why my WBC's are elevated. Means I have an infection going on somewhere and maybe thats what is causing me to be so fatigued. Last time my WBC's were elevated I ended up with pneumonia. Was sweating all night - could it have been one big hot flash lol.
Things were rough here last night.
Sometimes I think it would be much better to just pretend to be normal. Instead of being tired all the time, just be a a bird happily singing about how nice life is. Instead of dragging myself to work each day, pretend Im that motivated professional who used to be driven.
I slept pretty good except at 2:30 my husband turned all the lights on and started tearing the bed apart. He's walking around the room shaking. I finially jump out of bed and say what are you doing. He said he was looking for his cigarettes! I should never have told him about the test. I didnt tell him about my mammogram until after it came back abnormal.
Im an inch away from saying to hell with everything! Cancel this stupid test and just forget about everything. Get all this cancer stuff out of my mind and accept the fact that maybe these things are happening because Im old now.
Sometimes I feel like I am surrounded by this disease and there are no exit doors. Yesterday during work, I was sitting in a waiting area writing up a report. I hear a man (he was a police officer) calling work and telling them he wouldnt be in. His wife was just diagnosed with cancer. I turned around and looked at him - he was young, in his 30's. I wanted to approach him and just hug him and tell him everything will be ok. But its not ok. So this stranger (me) who wanted to comfort him, just smiled at him and slowly walked away.
Hoping you all have a wonderful day. Im gonna dress up real pretty today, maybe that will put a sparkle back into my step.

(((((((CIRCLE GIRLS))))))) What a week end we had! Here's to a MUCH better week.
The coffee is brewing and I'll start flipping some pancakes in a bit. Now where are those blackberries?

Boo/Sue, so glad to see you again. I've really missed you.
Nicki, you are going to be ok, I know it. My test today went well. I just kept waking up and they had to keep dosing me back to sleep.
Deb, I know you hate to get those shots, but the chemo is really working for you, isn't it? It does seem weird to be asking them to poison you.
I'm still groggy from my procedure, so I'll check in later.

Hey All! How weird, I haven't been online in forever and ever, and for some reason came here today. So nice to see so many friends, and sending big hugs to all.
Nicki - my heart dropped to my stomach, as yours was the first post at the top of the page, and all I saw was "brain scan", I've calmed down a bit, and tried to do some more reading, but I'm not quite sure what prompted the scan. Sending you big hugs and lots of positive thoughts for a (what's that word they use - unremarkable?) result. I hope all is well with you, I see you are still helping everyone get off to a good start with your morning news!
Forgive me for not calling anyone else out by name. I'm off to the orthodontist appt where I learn about Warren's braces (and how much they are going to cost!)
I know I'm not here anymore, but I still think about all of you just about every day. As a matter of fact, Warren and I listened to my Circle Girls CD on the drive home from CT last night!
Loveya/meanit,
Colleen

Slonedeb - Sending prayers you'll have some relief from your pain. Think of you every day.
Colleen - I'm so happy to see you .. and Warren!
Nico - I hope you're feeling better and your nose doesn't hurt. Can't help with the blackberries though. Too hot to go down in the field and get them. Plus, the path didn't get finished. I need to win the lotto!
Sheri - Glad you got through the test today ... bet you're hungy!
Hi G!!!!
Deb - Did you get the Neupogen(sp) shot and red blood today? Are you okay?
Hi Jankay, BooSue, Val (hugs to Bill), Nicki (you're not old .. you're TIRED .. hugs), Barb, Pammy, Shokk, Cherryl, Lisa, OD, and all the gals from A to Z.
Hugs to all those in the middle of the Circle.

Bren

Just checking in on news about Madison and Deb.......

I was home mid-morning but have been sleeping most of the afternoon. This is a procedure that I don't want to do again. I should know some results by Thursday/Friday. He is also doing a chromosome study that will take 2 weeks.
I think he is looking at some pre-leukemia disease.....he said the earlier caught-the better treatable. I wish I remembered the name of the disease.
He could also find absolutely nothing wrong.

Good news, Madison. Nothing wrong is always a good report.

Sheri,
The bone marrow biopsy was this morning. I won't get the results for 2-3 days (or maybe 2 weeks).
I'm hoping that there is nothing wrong.

Checking in on Madison and Deb.....................(and everyone else too!)
Madison, I'm glad the procedure is behind you and that the Doc. didn't find anything wrong....hopefully you'll get your results sooner rather than later and can enjoy your visit with your DD. I could be way off, but was the name he used MDS or Myelodysplastic? Your biopsy will be fine, but I know they do BMB to DX this cuz of a certain med that can be given to boost RBC.....or I could be way off, too! Bottom line..............You will be fine!!
Hoping to hear how Deb faired today................if you're out there my 'used to be Michigander' let us know how you are doing..............I admire you for the Inspiration you still share so willingly!
Not forgetting Val's DH, Nicki with her scan, Nico and the nose bleeds or Slonedeb....thoughts to all of you, you too Puppy.
Nice to hear from Boo and Colleen............been a long time and glad you're both doing okay....How's Warren doing????
Sheri..........hey to Kentucky........enjoying the summer break????
Binva.............Pinkstock or not????
JanKay.............Nice Avatar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like you're doing well...new BF and all!
Shokk...........Hey my Texan friend....................are you in danger with "Dolly" heading your way??
Hey to all..................got to shut up the house cuz the rain is starting AGAIN!!

Sending prayers and hugs to everyone feeling poorly and stressing while awaiting test results.
Sheri, Madison, Nicki - Rest up from the tests. Will be praying for good results for you. Waiting is hell I know.
Deb I'm sorry your struggling so. God I hate this disease. So hope they find the right treatment for you.
Deb C and Puppy - Hope your both having a day that your feeling better.
Hi Jankay, Nico, Colleen, Bren, Gina, Neese and shokk. Hi to anyone else I missed.
Had my own bit of non BC stress today. Someone slammed into my car in a parking lot! Can you say UUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I was not in it at the time. The lady actually got her insurance info to me so now comes the fun of dealing with car repairs. SIGH
Have a nice evening all. I'm going to walk the dog then have some wine.

Hey girls - I have not read back, but wanted to let you know I feel Soooooo much better after my transfusion today. It is weird, I sit there feeling like my strength just dribbles back, bit by bit. I can finally catch my breath and my headache is gone...YEAH!
I still have some other minor things I'm dealing with, but I'm looking forward to having some energy.
Madison - sending you hugs while you wait.
Be back later
