Hi Huneb,
Welcome.
I know how scary it is when we have to go for tests. Is this your regular scans to see if you are still OK or are you experiencing some symptoms?
I just want you to know that I am sending big hugs your way. We will put you into the center of the circle and wait it out with you.
Hugs,
g

Bren

Thanks for the welcoming hugs and care. I have been taken off tamoxifen and effexor and had a ct scan which was clear - yea. the ct was for stroke and/or brain mets. The trouble is my oncon wasn't happy and so i'm waiting for a brain mri, echo cardiogram and cartroid ultrasound. The echo and ultrasound are Thursday. The MRI will be the 18th. Am due for the regular blood, mamo and ultrasounds in October. My fear is that every time I got good news it was followed by hammering bad news. I am trying to be positive but can't seem to muster the energy. I do have a bunch of crazy symptoms, so I am hoping they can fix me or or course rule out the worst.
Thanks again, I am going to lay down and feel your positive thoughts and hugs.

nosurrender,
I want to thank you again for your kind offer, to take me in at your home, and to take me to your gyn. I wish I could take you up on your offer, but my insurance would never allow it. Thanks again, it really means SO MUCH to me!!
Sending HUGS your way!! I am so sorry you have to do your reconstruction surgery all over again!!Huneb,
Good Luck with your tests! We will wait here with you, for your results. Sending HUGS your way!
Bren,
Hi there!!
Sending HUGS out to anyone else I may have left out.

Well the good news is I finially got my CT scan report. No acute abnormalities. Now Im not sure what that means - did I have some before lol? But no cancer, no stroke - thats what I was worried about.
I have to tell you I was pretty scared last night. Some of you will remember he had a storm similiar to this a year ago and we lost power for 4 days! While we were in the bathroom, the thunder sounded like a train - so of course I thought it was a tornado. The lights started to flicker and I started praying really hard - please dear God dont make us lose our lights! When I woke up this morning, I hear my husband say OMG! there was a 30 foot branch from our big old tree laying on top of all the wires and then resting partly on the patio and partly on the old mans garage roof next door. You all remember the old guy right? That branch should have knocked out everything - live wires and all. So yes, I do believe I saw a miracle this morning.
First count there were 400,000 people without electricity. A block from my house there are no lights. The new grocery store is closed cause of no power. I heard on the news there were 3 tornados, but really most of the damage was from high winds and downed trees.
Its been really busy at work. The state surveyors are there. They come once a year and cause havoc for 4 days, so everyone is stressed. Thats why Im home late and cant address each and everyone of you by name. This old girl isnt used to working 10 hour days. My ortho appointment is tomorrow. Wish me luck. I will wear a boot, cast etc - just dont want to have surgery!MargaretB: Ya know, when I met with the genetic counsellor I thought I understood it. But I dont. Just know that Im BRCA2 positive. I really believe there are many bc genes out there that have not been identified yet. Heard on the news about some guys playing football at Big Sur and the ball went over and so did the guy. They said he got alot of skin burns but didnt get hurt too bad. Sounds like an awesome place. Oh and speaking about football, arnt you just loving it. I bet your house is gonna be crazy on Friday. The Bears have their first game Thursday. We are playing Kansas City! I love football.
Valerie: Your post are always supportive and brighten my day.
Shokk: OK, Im laughing my arse off getting a visual of Cherryl chasing you, your running - trying to get the conservative demons out of you. Now thats funny.
Slonedeb: Oh goodness, Im so glad you checked in. We were getting worried. Sounds like you have been through hell and back. Sorry about losing your friend. Please know you are not alone as we are all here with you and for you. Keeping you in the middle of the circle. Glad you enjoyed memory lane. I sure enjoyed putting it together.
Cherryl: I kept hearing your town on the news and was thinking of you. At first I thought we got through this ok, but Im hearing there is lots of damage out there especially the southern suburbs. Now really - you must stop chasing Shokk around.
Harley: Im just glad you have the appointment scheduled. Need to get this over with so you can have peace of mind again. Sending a big hug your way.
Huneb: Youa re never too old to fight! Just remember that. I am so glad you found us and welcome to the circle of love.
DebC: Oh goodness, Im loving that picture of hope. Just absolutely loving it.
Bren: Ummm! Does this mean you are in the princess wagon? I dont camp either. Need a bed. Need a toilet. Need a shower. Oh and listen here southern belle! How aobut whipping up some fried green tomatoes for us?
OK - I do have to run. A big hello to all that I missed. Hate working like a jerkin!

Hi everyone. Nicki, great news. That storm sure sounds like a doozy. We had an all day professional development today. It was interesting, but tiring. Now tonight we are going to someone's house for a back to school party for the high school. It should be fun, haha. Joe is being grumpy, but it's his party.
We may have a storm tonight, but I'm sure nothing like what you had in Chicago.

Hello Sheri: Professional Development - its sounds like work to me lol. Have fun at the party tonight. Thanks for the high five on my good news. You should go over and talk to our princess and ask her to wave her magic wand. No bad storms and good home cooked food.
Love ya
Nicki

wow.. so many are battling so many storms of different kinds. Glad you are all safe. I am especially glad to hear from slonedeb. I have been worried about you hon. thanks so much for checking back in. Know we continue to pray for you.
Welcome to new members! It is always so nice to tuck you in the middle of the circle and allow you to unload and let us listen and help when we can. Reading back over these posts, it never ceases to amaze me what kindness does exist here and I am so grateful to be a part.
Now shokk, you and cherryl are starting a ruckus. You have to be careful with that holy water cherryl... be it liberal or conservative! By the way, thanks so much for the baby gift. Amanda will be so pleased and excited! I am so honored ! Big hugs your way.
So glad to see so many of you. I am signing out, getting ready to go home for girls night. I am absolutely beat, but will enjoy the time with my dear friends.
Today is my son, Miles' birthday. He is 23 and today is the first birthday I haven't laid eyes on him in his life. I am such a baby about my baby. Found out today there is an additional 1100.00 due on his tuition and it is so discouraging!! God will provide.
love and hugs to all of you my sisters..... God bless.... pammy

OK, OK, I'll behave...if Ireally have to!!!
Great news Nicki. Last night was a doozy, uh? Hope we don't have a repeat. The sky is getting pretty dark out here.
Hey, Pammy. I was beginning to wonder where you were.
Welcome to all the newbies.
Hugs to all.

Nicki...The walk down memory lane took a lot of time on your part but as always you always have and continue to have time for each of us. THANK YOU! So much has gone on in these few short months and a bond has been formed that will continue forever in the hearts of many of us.
Apparently we had storms here last night also, I slept through the whole thing.
Iris...good to see you. You have been scarce around these parts lately.
Shokk.....turnip truck...lol. That remark took me down memory lane. I recall as a child sitting on the gate and my cousin's grandfather peeling turnips for us. We were lined up and the poor guy had to do a lot of peeling. Don't think I have eaten a raw turnip since then.
DebC...Praises be that the mri didn't show mets. One day at a time and one step at a time...you keep chugging away girlfriend.
Sheri...about time for those school bells to start ringing, they start the 11th here.
Deb Slone, I am so sorry to hear about your friend but keep in mind that she is not alone anymore. You poor thing, that leg has got to be so painful. Glad you are able to be back online and letting us know how things are with you. I don't post often but come on daily to check on you.
My 6-month/ fu is this month. Have already had the chest x-ray and ct because of chest pain and going to ER. They were good, so I am thinking it was the hiatal hernia acting up.
Bren, hope you do make it to Pinkstock next year. I have tried to go the past two years and something has come up. Not going to plan it anymore, it will have to be last minute.
Harley....waving at you and glad to see you posting.
Huneb...don't think we have met before but welcome and we will be by your side through all these tests.
Pammy sweetie, glad to see you popping in. You are right, God will provide...isn't it amazing where the help comes from sometimes?
Cheryl...now you and Shokk are just going to have to tone it down a bit. Can't have you running around here all over the place. You will knock some of us oldies off our feet and you know what osteo has done to these "ole bones."

Good Morning Everyone! I can feel the warmth and love coming from our wagon circle. So many are in the middle of the circle, so as the sun was rising this morning, I walked the the outer circle and sprinkled healing fairy dust on everyones wagon. Of course most of you are still sleeping, but I did find a few of you sitting around the campfire. Insomnia - another thing we talk about all the time. I woke up at 3:00 am and remembered that seemed to be the bewitching hour for many of us. Why is it we always wake up at 3:00 am!
Thank you for all your happiness and congratulations. I was feeling pretty good myself. This latest scare has taught me a very big lesson. Life is too short, dont worry about the small stuff, and stay close to home.
Im laughing because, I forgot - how much fun it is to come here. We certainly support each other and get a good ol laugh along the way also.
Holy Water! Now thats an interesting subject. As I was swimming pool next to my wagon last night, I was thinking how great it would be to fill it with healing water from Lordes! Sometimes I let my imagination get the best of me!
Pammy: You and I do have some sort of mental telepathy. I was thinking about you last night and wondering where you were. So it was good to see a post from you this morning. Hope you had fun with your friends last night.
Cherryl: Ummm would you define the word innocence for me?
Doris: Gosh its good to see you. Ya see, I believe slowly but surely we will slowly walk back to this circle of love. Guess I should say many of us will. Its always been a place of support and friendship. Thank you for your kind words - as usual - you always know how to say the right thing to make someone feel good. And you made me feel good this morning. The walk down memory land was fun for me. I kept reading all the posts and forgot how much love and support was here. Sort of got sidetracked if ya know what I mean. Glad you already had those tests and good luck on your 6 month check up. I like the idea of having tests done before your appointment. Might even do that my next visit with my onc. And now that I have a normal brain, I dont have to see him until 2009!
Harley: Im waving hello to you and sending you some sunshine this morning.
Puppy: Sure was great to see a post from you. I just wanna know. How soon is soon as you have been missed around here. Love ya.
Shokk: OMG! I have one of those crazy ass cousins. Im laughing so hard right now my stomach hurts. I dont pee my pants anymore. Found out that kegel exercises can fix that.
Sheri: Hope you had fun at the party last night. Gosh, I cant believe its getting so close to school starting again. Im sticking my head in the ground - denial land! Its good sometimes.
Jankay: Good morning sunshine sister. Hoping your internet gets fixed soon.
Waving hello to my special friend.
OK! I have to run. Time to hit the showers. Wont be home until late. My appointment with the ortho is at 3:15 pm. Looks like I just added another specialist to my ever growing list of "my doctors." Have a wonderful day. Hope your hearts are filled with sunshine.

Good morning sisters! Girls night was fairly uneventful last night, although it lasted a little later than usual. I love having once a week time with my dear friends when we can just sit and do nothing or something or talk about everything. Last night we watched Tyler Perry's movie, "Meet the Browns." I am a big fan of Tyler Perry and enjoy his movies with a serious note but filled with laughter.
I got Miles' tuition problem for this semester taken care of and only one more to go. He will graduate in May. Now if we can just get that job....... Does it seems I am always asking for more? I should be ashamed because my life is so blessed. It is especially blessed because of all of you.
Puppy so glad to see you posting. You know I love ya.
Nicki, let us know about the ortho appt. Will be checking back to see.
Slonedeb... keep the faith. We are with you and God is too.
Doris, so glad to see you posting. Sheri, get ready for school!!!!! Shokk, you and Cherryl play nice.... to all I didn't mention... know I love ya! Pammy

Thank you all for your wonderful, warm words of welcome and all the HUGS. You all are just what the doc ordered. I'm thinking you all must be from the angel wagon. I simply cannot say thanks enough for your responses. I slept well watched over by you all.
Alaska Deb - What a great picture of hope. Too clever.
No Surrender, Thank you for taking me by the hand to the circle. I suspect you have scooped up a lot of us. Thank you for having the wisdom and empathy to start this thread.
Bin/VABren, glad I am not the only princess. Thanks, I needed to know that. Are you the Belle? My parents are from Louisiana so maybe it is just in our blood.
Harley44 - Thanks for your encouragement too. It looks like you could use HUGS too. I hope all works out for u.
Chemosabe Wow, that is the coolest welcome picture. Daisy's are my favourite too! I think I'm going to love the princess tent, if there is room. Sorry, if I wasn't clear. I agree never too old to fight. I meant that I have been in the ca fight for 3 years and it gets old sometimes.
DFW, so glad to meet you, more thanks
ShopMama, how hard to be away from your baby on his BD. I'm thinking of you.
Today, check in with doc. Tomorrow, echocardiogram and artery ultrasound. Checking for possibility of more clots. This is actually a good thing, because if they are any, I'm sure they can bust them. Didn't mention that I am hospital parinoid but after being here with you all I can go with head up and shoulders squared. Actually, I feel like a bit of a baby when I see and read what others are dealing with.
Hope I haven't misssed anyone. HUGS and THANKS again to you all.

Dearest Friends! This has been a hard day for many of the breast cancer survivors who come to this board. So many are dealing with pain, mets, mores tests, progression. I just wanted to take a moment to pray for everyone. I wish there was something I could do to help. But I can be here. An open arm, a listening ear, a warm heart, and a calming spirit.
I dont have much to say tonight, other than I pray that our guardian angels are watching over all of us.

Bren: I had no idea about the belle thingy. I just thought about all of us Maggies being southern belles except for me. Im the exceptional yankee Maggie.
Night dear friends. Love ya.

Nicki and Bren,
I tend to think of belles as being all dainty and all, but maggies are tough cookies who can handle anything you throw at them. By that definition, we're maggies!! I'll get back to you later on the definition of what innocent is.
I was really bummed to hear about the latest with Deb C. Not a good week for our Deb from KY either. For the Debs:
Heavenly Father, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve your sick servants, and give your power of healing to those who minister to their needs, that Deb C and SloanDeb, for whom our prayers are offered may be strengthened in thier weakness and have confidence in your loving care; through Jesus Christ our Lords, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.
