    I haven't been on this thread too much, and have really only read before.  Today,  I have read through the last few pages of messages...

    WOW!  What a wonderful group of women are here, and I know some of you from some of the other threads.  Happy to see ya'll again...

    I know that GOD is here, watching over us, and when I was dx'd with bc last year, 3/15/07, HE was with me.  HE got me through every step of the way, the surgeries, the chemo, and the reconstruction, too.  I didn't have too much pain after my surgeries, and I didn't have too many se's from the chemo, either.  GOD was here with me, and every time I needed something, it was here, even before I knew I needed it.

    I know that most of you have probably read my latest issue, but I'll post it here anyway, so I can know that I have covered all my bases.

    Now I am looking at another biopsy, this time an endometrial biopsy.  I'm taking Tamoxifen, and it scares me, because Tamoxifen can cause uterine cancer.  I wish I could stop thinking about this, and GOD knows I don't want to go down that road again. 

    My dr., a gyn onc, thinks that I just have polyps and it is nothing to worry about.  But he was getting ready to go on vacation when I saw him, and he wasn't too concerned about anything. I can't help wondering if he was maybe just in a hurry to get things all wrapped up so he could leave for his TWO week vacation. 

    Anyway, just thought I'd post here, because I DO believe in the power of PRAYER, and GOD's healing. 

    Thanks ladies, for listening. 

    Oh, and I'll be keeping ya'll in my prayers!

    HUGS to all  who need them today.

    Harley

    It is so nice to know that so many of our friends are enjoying some time together at Pinkstock.  Going back and reading posts from the beginning has brought back some wonderful memories.  I only got to page 300!  There really has been so much love and friendship here.

    Putting Dawn and Slonedeb in the middle of the circle and praying for everyone that needs a lending hand.

    Nicki,

    Hello.  I am keeping SloanDeb, Dawn, and you, Nicki, and Alaska Deb, too, in my prayers.  I read on another forum that she had been having episodes of Double Vision, and she will be having a brain MRI on Monday.  I just want to bring her into the circle as well.

    Shokk,

    Thanks so much!  My biopsy will be on Aug. 13th.  My dr., a gyn onc, wanted to wait til Aug. 22nd for me to go back to see him, and then, I guess, he was going to schedule the biopsy.  I complained, so he has scheduled it earlier. 

    The dr. doesn't 'think' it's anything.  I was having some spotting, but it seems to have stopped.  I was on a short, two week break from Tamoxifen, and have just resumed taking it a week ago.  I'm praying that I continue without any se's. 

    Thanks! 

    God Bless,

    Harley

    Hey circle girls :)

    I see Harley told you about my funky eye problems.  MRI monday to rule out brain mets.....hate to see that written on an order, but that's what the ER doc is thinking. 

    Nicki - Love all the photos and posts.  I say my lei on the beach in Hawaii....lots of good memories there...

    I think I'm going to curl up by the fire, close my eyes and listen for some singing.....

    Love you all

    Oh jeez Deb will keep that head of yours in my prayers...............yes Harley Deb is one of the original circle girls............always a kind word and a funny story................took a pic of the afghan that was sent to her and you could see the shot gun in the background and I had commented about it............she had laugh and said that she had her own shot gun and her husband had his..........being from Texas of course couples have their "own shot guns" as well...........knew right then and there that girl was all right................Shokk

    Shokk ... you made me laugh ... his and her shotguns!

    Deb, Slonedeb, Puppy, Harley and Dawn, We're keeping you in the center of the Circle and sending prayers up for you every day.

    Liz, hope you are feeling better and getting some rest .. thinking about you.

    Nicki, thanks for the memories and the pictures.  I never saw the one about the hotflashing birds!!  I love the pic Deb posted of the lei on the beach.

    Deb, If we listen really hard, I bet we can hear Kristin's concert at Pinkstock tonight.

    love,

    Bren

    I really enjoyed the trip down memory lane.  Thanks, Nicki.  Harley, good to see you.  Hope your biopsy goes well.  DebC, I'm sure your doc is being precautionary.  I remember when I had my first mri and it said on the order "breast cancer metastisis" it really bugged me.  I have finally decided they just keep testing until they find something.  I know you have real concerns, and I don't mean to make light.  My prayers are with you, as with Dawn and Slonedeb.

    Hi girls,  I just spoke to the girls at Pinkstock.  The most wonderful thing happened..... with a clear sky a rainbow appeared not once but twice.  I had told MB and Madison and I knew CY would be there this year.  Seems like she was...... Of course I've been blubbering ever since and so was everyone else there.  They are having a wonderful time.........

    Deb.... you know I'm here - call if you need to talk!

    Hugs

    Lisa,

    I referred to my hot flashes as "personal summer moments."

    Nicki, thanks for the memories. Also sounds like the Pinkstockers are having a great time.

    Oh my!  I have been watching movies - ya know the ones that you want to see and your husband doesnt.

    So I came here to tell DebC that the movie "Patch Adams" was pretty cool.  Its so good to see all of you.

    Liz:  The rainbow brought tears to my eyes.  As I read each one of CY's posts I felt like she was with us.  And she really was!  What a wonderful, thrilling moment.

    Debc:  If it were not for Harley - I would not have known.  I know your scared, but its a magical time.  I feel it.  We are all one spirit.  Those at pinkstock and those of us here.  Your right smack dab in the middle of this dang circle.  I need to go back and find that picture of you. You strength, love, and happiness is contagious.  You know you have our strength behind you!

    Sheri:  There were so many posts I read from you.  You havent changed.  You are one of the most supportive caring person I have met.  You always seem to say the right thing at the right time.

    SoCal:  Hahahaha I loved the picture.  I saw a car sticker the other day.  It said, "Im not old, I just a recycled teenager."

    Bren:   We must retrieve the picture DebC has of the lei floating into the ocean.  You always light up the room! 

    Shokk:  OMG!  OMG!  Im laughing so hard.  I forgot about the shotgun!  Hahahaha you just gave me a good belly laugh. 

    Harley:  My friend, its so good to see you here.  I think August 13th sounds like a good day!   You know we will be with you and we have so much love and power together.  So you put me in the middle of the circle too did ya?  Hmmm I think Im gonna get a swimming pool, fill it with wet noodles and take a wonderful back stroke in some good loving and happiness.  

    There is so much - so much, that I had forgotten about.  I can hear Kristins concert right now.  Love ya all.

    Imagine.  Right now many of our friends are gathered in a real circle, in front of a real campfire, eating REAL food, and listening to a wonderful concernt by our own Kristin.  It time for me to go to sleep and I can feel all of the Pinkstock fairies around me.  Like DecC, if I close my eyes, I can hear the music.

    Everyone rest well tonight.  Calm your hearts and just enjoy each moment, each thought, and each friendship we have made here throughout our journey.  Where it takes us we do not know, but I know one thing.  I walking this journey with all of you and it feels nice.

    We had lots of angel hugs and kisses.  From the early days of the wagon circle, many guardian angels watched over us.  We are approaching the 2 year anniversary of the WG - soon.
