Good Morning Ladies,
Laura ...Welcome home and glad to see that you had a great time in LV. Yes, you did see some strange things out there but what fun it was. How was the hotel and pool? I am leaving Sat for LV and can't wait. My dd has her clubbing clothes ready to hit the bars. Celebrating her 21st b-day in style. lol
Connie..I had my gums grafted many years ago and yes, they did take it from the roof of my mouth. It was caused from excessive over brushing with a hard toothbrush. The recovery period was about 2 weeks on liquid diet but doable. I have had no problems since then.
Rita..glad to see that you had some quality time with Wendy. You are a wonderful and caring person and we love you for that. We have 11 girls coming to dinner..Already called ahead to warn them about us.. lol You all need to wear your party clubbing clothes..lol
Wendy..how are you doing? Today's a good day for tops down fist up right.
Julie, Irina, Bren..Welcome and sorry you had to find us. Sending you all big hugs and hope all goes well with your txs.
Janclare..how is jury duty..any good cases..lots of drama there you know. lol
Jackie..any news yet re: rads tx for you. I hope all is well.
Tdbear..my pond is open and the fish are having a sexual encounter lol I have 2 pregnant ones and 5 babies that survived the winter.
They are very active this year....Still need to plant the flowers and yes, I started having algae problems already.
Smerf..how is the bathroom remodeling going.
Well as for me.. I need to have a hysto done. Has anyone had one done and how painful is it ? Also they want to take my gallbladder out at the same time..2 for the price of one lol. I have so many questions re: this. What are your thoughts on this..has anyone had had this done. Well back to bed now.. I have a really bad cold and need to get better before Sat. Will ck back later....
To everyone else I missed hope you all have a great day.
Remember be healthy..be happy

Hey Rocktobermom! WE ALL LOVE LAURA! Thanks for sharing those pictures. It looks like you had a wonderful time and that Laura sure has the right "moves," doesn't she???? LOL
Blackjack...take care of that cold. I had a hysterectomy nearly 11 years ago. It wasn't so bad and (in the long run) was the best thing I've ever done. You're pretty tender after the surgery for a few days but I was up and going strong within a week or so. You can't go up and down stairs for a couple of weeks or lift anything heavy. I got along just fine though and I'm sure you will, too.
WAM...enjoy today. Try not to worry or get too anxious. You're going to be the cutest patient that they have tomorrow, you've got the greatest doctors, and have LOTS of people who will be checking in on you! HUGS!
Pat, we're finally putting on the finishing touches to the bathroom. I've been promised that every single thing will be done by the time the cleaning lady comes....one week from today! I'm holding him to that promise and will NEVER do this again. I love the way it looks but I'll gladly babysit paid workers to do the renovations! Hope yours is going well and that you're not torn up very long! I'm looking forward to seeing you on the 28th! Bring your pictures and we'll compare! LOL
Well, the sun is out and I have lots of important things to do today! LOL Thinking about all of you and hoping that you have a good day.
Rita

Good morning everyone. Pretty here, but we are starting out a little chilly. Will get way better.
Blackjack, I had a hysterectomy too. Have always been glad. Didn't take too long a time to recover. Had a huge ( grapefruit size ) non-cancerous tumor and so I could not get all the way through menopause. I should have done more crunches afterward, but that's ok. Some people dread menopause....I just saw it as a kind of freedom I would get to enjoy and so I did.
No one has called about rads yet....I'm in the dark till whenever???
Should I forget.....best wishes for tomorrow WAM and good vibes coming your way.
Blackjack....get better please---we need our be healthy-be happy girl to be just that.
Also, I'm not sure I answered your question as good as I could...I had an epidural for my hysterectomy which ran most of the two days I was in the hospital....I virtually felt no discomfort and was sure that was the reason. In fact, I was sitting up in bed reading a magazine once out of the recovery room. Dr. ( surgeon ) came to see me walked in the door and then turned around and left---he didn't realize it was really me. Apparently most others didn't have the desire to sit up in bed and read right after surgery. Just my experience though.
Anyhow, all have a great day. My thoughts are with you even if I haven't called you by name.

Blackjack I had a hyst many years ago no probs....they left the ovaries. But last year I had to have the ovaries removed due to a tumor . Spent 2 nights in hosp, took a week off work. except for tenderness at the incision I didn't have any probs. Dr tried to do it laparoscopic but tumor was to big so I have the "bikini line smile scar"
Laura looks like you had fun in LV!!
All this talk of remodeling... you gals HAVE to post pics so we all can drool!!
Crazy weather we had 65 and rain then 4 days of 90+ now 55 and more rain!!!
Hugs to all wish I cud join you for dinner!
need to get busy!

Wendy the younger, I'll be praying for you tomorrow, good luck, but you won't need it, you'll be fine. Make sure you ask your surgeon today to give you something to help you sleep tonight.
I have yeast infections again, just called the doctor for more medication, I think she is just going to put me on it every time now.
I've been out planting flowers and mulching, I love spring.
Wendy wait til you see how cute I look in the wigs you gave me.
Jan and justice for all.
Laura your just so cute. I'm so happy you had fun.
Connie, I'm gonna ask Vic, he's a dentist. I'll see if you knows anyone in your area.
Pat I miss you.
To the new girls, We're all here for you.
Karin I wish you could be with us.
Michelle I had a hysto, not bad, no more periods, yeah.
Rita and everyone. The girls took me out the day before my surgery. It was wonderful, I was totally pampered and felt so loved. I wish all of you would have had friends like us when your journeys started. Thank you so much.
I love you all

HI girls!Laura...glad to see you back...and I can't wait to hear the stories. The elephant bling looks great!
Rocktobermom.....thanks for the pictures of LV, and for returning Laura to us...she's so special, we could NEVER do without her!
Connie...can't help with the gum grafting as this is the first I have ever heard of that and $5000. seems waaaaay high, but what do I know! I still have one very receded gum on one lower tooth that came from chemo, but she is watching it and it is coming back. I too caused damage from too hard of a brush and too hard brushing. About 4 years ago I bought a Sonicare toothbrush. No more placque, no more gum problems...period. Best $160. I ever spent and now they are way cheaper, esp. if you buy at Sam's Club. Maybe a 2nd opinion? Or see if Leesa's Vic has a thought???
Blackjack....hysto and gall? Gee...how about throwing in an appendectomy and a liver bx while they are in there! Do you have galbladder problems?? I don't remember you mentioning them. Take care of that cold! And I see you have horny fish as does Karin! What exactly are you feeding them?????
JanClare....still sitting around the jury room?
Leesa...can't wait to see how cute you look! But then I've always thought you were a doll!
Rita...thanks for taking such good care of Wendy the Younger! I bet she does look cute with her short hair!
WendytheYounger.....I will be thinking of you tomorrow....hugs honey! You can do this! Us Wendy's are tough!!!! Post when you can, or let Rita know so she can tell us how you did.
Julie, Bren....keep the faith! Keep on keeping on! We are thinking about you, wishing and sending good thoughts/vibes your way.
Took the Z out for a run this morning so it doesn't go dead again but the top stayed up as it was 56 and breezy at 8:30! But it will be going to Naperville for a run tomorrow, and I am sure the top will be down on the way home....can't wait!
Neighbors next door have been pretty quiet. Except that I am thinking that Connie might be correct about them being vampires. They tend to cut the grass after 9pm (it's DARK out here...how can you see the grass!!!!), water at 11pm (the hose is under our bedroom window and the hose-holder is squeeky and wakes us up every time) and they had a party on Sunday during the afternoon, but were outside fighting about something, screaming at each other....at 12:15...AM! I got up and SLAMMED both windows shut. So I guess what I am saying.....they only come out at night...creepy. Oh well.....sigh.........
Off to make my salad for dinner....hope everyone has had a nice day and please all...have a wonderful evening!

Just heard some sad news. Senator Kennedy has been diagnosed. He has a brain tumor. This is what caused his very recent seizures on Saturday. I feel really bad for him and his family. They have had many struggles over the years ( I know....they also had the partial consolation of fame and funds ), but it is another blow to have to deal with now. I do wish them well.
I'm still a bit exhausted--and need some mouthwash. I'm getting there.
Found out this afternoon--I will go to the cancer center at Carbondale Memorial the 28th. of May to get my rads schedule and be marked I think. Not sure where they will send me....but I think I am closer to Carbondale Mem....then anything in Marion. By going on 51 South....it's a lot closer to Carbondale. We will see.
Eye appt. tomorrow. Been waiting a long time....since I started chemo this past December. Lots to do before I start the rads.
All of you getting tests, txs, or whatever, I am thinking of you and wishing you well.
Leesa, you are amazing---you just had a tx and you are out mulching and planting flowers. That is remarkable. Good for you.
Wendy, you have the neighbors from hell. No matter now upset I got....I just can't see myself ever being mad enough to have a screaming match and make my neighbors or for that matter anyone else a part of it. I'm a little too private I think and I don't want my sensibilities toyed with by others in that fashion so I sure wouldn't do it to them.
Anyway, talk to ya'll later.
Jackie

Hi all:
I wanted to check in to see if Irina had news for us. Irina, you were to see my doctor today. Was he able to give you any good news? I so hope so.

Hi girls - thanks for all the advice on dental grafting. I called my insurance company and they said he was charging what they call their reasonable amount for the work. They will only cover $1500 a year though so I either split it up and save some for next year or eat it. That's if I decide to go through with it. Don't remember who asked this, but he did tell me it was 99% sure that if I did this it would last a lifetime. I may see about a second opinion though. I did a bunch of googling and I basically get the same info, but nowhere can I find anything that says what happens if I don't go ahead - i.e. my teeth will rot and fall out?? Thanks for offering to ask about this for me, Leesa!
So sorry to hear about your hysto, blackjack. The only thing I can help with is that my mom had her gallbladder out about 5 years ago when she was in her mid-70's and she bounced back pretty quick.
Glad you had a great time, Laura. You deserved it. Hopefully, you can stay rested enough to stress out less about work.
Hi to everyone else! Hoping everyone is feeling good and getting good test results.

Hi!
The time is closing in on me. Forget the pit in my stomach, my heart may give out before they get me on the operating table! It's been a crazy day getting everything ready (or trying to). Thank you all for your support and great information.
Rita will post an update while I am recovering. She was great yesterday in supporting me (as always). I was relieved that she didn't start crying when I got my hair cut. I am enjoying the short hair. I realized quickly this morning that I need to do my hair before my make-up. It was dry in a few minutes! The only bad review I got was from my 9 year old niece. She couldn't understand why I would cut my hair like a boy.
I will post before and after cut pictures when I get a chance.Take care and enjoy yourselves. I'll be back again soon!

Rita - yes I am getting radiation here in Decatur. I'll be done 6/4. I agree 100% it doesn't even compare to the chemo(I had a rough time with chemo). I'm still dealing with side affects - and now have been diagnosed with lymphdema in my left arm where nodes were removed and oddly enough both of my feet ankles & legs. Also am dealing w/neuropathy in both hands & feet from taxol.I have an appt. tom w/a massage therapist who is going to do lymphatic drainage and she is going to teach me & hubby how to do it. I was going to occupational therapy at DMH but insurance doesn't cover much on that. But I am back to working 5 days a week now (just take off early for rad) and by the time I get home I am exhausted.
I am looking forward to spending a lot more time w/my 2 yr. old grandson (I just need more energy for him lol). I'm trying to keep depression at bay here! It's weird that it is hitting me now when I'm almost done with treatment. I don't think it helps though when every conversation with the doctors are - Your'e at very high risk of it returning - I want to say "Yeah - doc - got it the first time you told me lol"!!!! But I don't want to live my life on the edge of my seat wondering when or if it will strike again. I don't really know if the doctors really know any way (I'm getting a little skeptical toward doctors these days). Anyway-thanks for listening - sorry I got to rambling. I shouldn't be whinning when I'm at the end and there are others who are just starting or in the middle of the battle. I guess I'm just trying to come to terms on who the new me is going to be - because a lot of the old me has seemed to have disappeard.
Irina - Jules & Wendytheyounger - I'm getting from the posts that you are all just getting started or getting newly diagnosed - so I just want you to know that I am praying for each of you, keep on fighting the fight.

"The Median Isn't the Message," run, do not walk, to
http://www.cancerguide.org/median_not_msg.html
Evening everyone,I found this on another cancer blog and it gave me quite another viewpoint in looking at how we sometimes think of cancer, the fright, upset, and lack of being able to determine quite where we are in the numbers game with all of it. I'm sure I'll be reading this more than once. I hope you all get a chance to look it over.
Wendy the Younger---does this mean we get to call her Wendy the Older...hee-hee-hee. Ok, she's going to hit me when she sees me.
I'm glad you have Rita next to you---I know she is a wonderful hand holder and is such a caring person. You'll will do well, because she won't let it be any other way for you.
Well, I'm off to my recliner where I shall endeavor to see at least part of one program before I fall asleep in my chair.

Bren...you are so right! We have changed so much and it's so hard to deal with the unknown. I sent you a PM the other day. Did you get it yet?
I'll let everybody know about Wendy the Younger when she's out of surgery tomorrow. Keep those good vibes heading toward Bloomington for a couple of days! :-)
And Jackie....maybe we should call our "first" Wendy...Wendy the ELDER. Wouldn't you love to be called Wendy the Elder and still look as good as she looks?????? Elder sounds much more classy and more refined than Wendy the Older! LOL
Gotta get some sleep........Catch you tomorrow when I have some news!

Hi. I got news back from CT scan and bone scan - all is neg which is great news. I start chemo Thursday - TAC I think is the name. I have to go back as my sentinel node area is swollen and red so hopefully it is not infected. Got to take the great news with the so-so news I guess. Anyway I hope everyone had a good day.
Wendy the younger - good luck on surgery. My thoughts are with you.

Bren,
I think we were posting at the same time.....many seem to get depressed and at odds with life in general and theirs in particular when getting done with their txs. I'm sure you are much more normal than you know.
I hope you will read that article I just highlighted in my post above. The man who wrote it did not have bc of course, but I think the message is good for all. He was a statistician and so knew how to look at numbers, possibilities etc. He had mesithelioma, which I'm spelling wrong but its cancer you get from asbestos. Numbers are just numbers until we give them life.....and we can choose not to give them life by having an outlook that won't consider a number. Dr.'s are fond of saying if you smoke you WILL have emphysema in later life. My Dad smoked at least 2 packs of cigarets a day and died from Parkinson's when he was 83 yrs. old...and did not have emphysema. I partially believe it happened that way because with his attitude, he chose to think, feel and act like that would not and could not happen to him....and so it didn't. The mind can have a powerful influence on us.....we have to be careful of what we let others try to put there....so read that little essay. Dr.'s are good, and we certainly need their help and expertise in most all of this journey, but....they go by the numbers very often too, but it's your body, and your mind, and your ATTITUDE. I remember a course I took---not the name or anything, but one of the tenets they used was "act as if you are". In other words, whatever you want to be, or have, or do, act as if you already are that--lets say a good speaker and by acting as if you already are you are creating a goal, and the more you work toward that goal, the more productive you will be until you will have become a really good speaker...but the first step is to act like you already are that. It's a much better basis to start from because your most of the way there already.
Anyway, I've rambled enough....just give yourself a break. We know what your going through and we are here for you too.

Hi....late this am but really wanted to post to Brenda and Julie....
Julie....I think your news is good! Clean scans!!! Yay!!! And now you can start on the path, and it does get easier once you've got that first chemo going. Trust us! I didn't do TAC so I can't help you with that, but maybe scroll thru the chemo thread and look for other gals that did that protocol.
Brenda....this is the place you get to whine!!!!! And scream and yell and vent and ramble and cry and laugh! We WANT you to do all those things RIGHT HERE cuz we've been there and boy, do we get it! We will always listen, always empathize, always care...and usually have advice, a solution....or just a shoulder and big arms for a cyber-hug! OK??? GOT THAT???? You get to whine here all you want...and when was the last time somebody told you that! So there!
Yeah....I do like Wendy the Elder much better...makes me sound wise. (hah!!!)
Everybody else...I will catch up later...sun is out but it is 36???? Brrrrrrrrr........

Good sunny morning all.
Pretty today and I love it. Interesting changes to the site. Now on bottom you can preview---I thought the preview was up top after posting with the ability to EDIT which is no longer there. I liked that better I think---well changes, changes...I'll get used to this although it jumps up for posting way slower now.
Jule...I didn't post to you last night as like a bad comedian I decided one more post and all would be saying..."get her out of here" but glad you got reassuring news. That's wonderful, especially after all the time we have to spend in suspense with generally only negative views--difficult to look at things in an upbeat way with all the ramifications out there so good for you. Now it's onward to health.
Irina, hope you are ok.
Wendy the Younger....good vibes coming your way today.
Wendy the Elder--yep, I like that better too, but you know I was only teasing.
I'm running around today....then work tomorrow. Sort of hate when my Wednesdays are busy...I'm always so pooped so Thursdays are a drag.
Going to BIL's for Sunday celebration for hubby's b-day which was the 17th. actually, and Memorial Day. Monday sounds wet and more can get together on Sunday anyway.
I'll be checking in from time to time anyway. So, see ya'll later.

Hey all- I ended up having laptop problems, so was not able to keep connected while in the jury room. It stopped working about halfway through the day on Monday. It was my computer, not the wireless network, so had to wait 2 days until my son could fix it. And it's the computer I use at home too, so I was not able to do any office work or check in with you all. He told me "don't do whatever it is you did again", but I have no idea what it was I did!
Anyway- mainly it been just sitting around. It's now the 3rd day and there are only about 40 of us who have been called in. Everyone else was LET GO FOR THE WEEK! I seem to have a "lucky" (Ha!) number. GRUMBLE GRUMBLE. It's over an hour travel to get here and I get about $11.00 a day as a "token of the court's appreciation". I wouldn't mind so much if I was actually on a jury, it's the sitting around waiting that is getting to me. I've been called in twice for a short list of jurors, both times they filled the jury before they got to me.
Jackie- I owe you a PM- I hope I get to it before my number is called again, but the short answer is that it's too soon after your chemo to figure out if those symptoms are from the Lyme. Lyme is one of the "great imitaters"- it imitates other diseases and has a myriad amount of symptoms as a result. If your symptoms continue, you would need a Western Blot and Lyme titer to start with to try and see if you are positive for Lyme. (though a negative test would not mean that you didn't have Lyme, just that they can't confirm it at that time. It's hard to culture for Lyme, so a positive means, Yes you have it, but a negative does not rule it out.)
Wendy Y- (the younger)- I am thinking of you today and sending healing vibes and (((hugs))) to you!
Julie- so glad that your scans were clear!! Yay!! But if you can get a PET scan (most hospitals don't have the equipment, I had to use a "portable" machine that they brought around to the hospital in a semi trailer about once every 2 weeks), I'd say it would help to confirm the other clear scans even more! Here's info about PET scans: http://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=PET&bhcp=1
Brenda, sweetie- Wendy the Wise (see- I gave her another new name!!
) is right. We want you to rant, scream, cry and whine all you want. We will be here for you no matter what! Sometimes the people in your life will not understand- but we will!! Heck, it's been over 18 months since my diagnosis, and I still have trouble dealing with how life has changed. It's a war and the battles are not over just because the major skirmishes are done!! I'm also dealing with LE- stage one in my chest and underarm, nothing in my arm yet. I do the manual drainage myself and find that I'm able to control it very well. LE was my greatest fear because I saw how my grandmother suffered from it in the 1950s. (yeah, I know- I didn't fear death, I feared LE- but I think it was because I was convinced this cancer was not going to kill me now- but LE was a obvious possible side effect!!) I do figure that even full blown LE is better then not having this life. My motto- ENJOY THE DAY! Hmm... better remember that while sitting in this jury assembly room!
Irina- let us know how you are doing! (((hugs)))
Shoot, something happening again here- the odds are great that I will be called again! See ya later!

Oh my:
So much going on! Can only stay on a second and will get back later. I ams still looking for word on Irina.....she was to go see my doctor....funny how we bond with people we have never met.
Blackjack, I had that cold for nearly two weeks. I am just now feeling better. I was freaking out as I felt just horrid for so long. It started with a sore throat and then bad body aches. I teach 8th grade and a kid mooned the sub. He was suspended for five days. I was so sick I didn't even care. They called me at home to tell me what happened, and I just rolled over and went back to sleep. I hope you are nearing then end of it as it is miserable.
I am thinking about Wendy the Younger and Brenda.
Good news for Jules.
Every body else....have a good day too.

Good Morning all.Hi Susan. Yes, I sow your doctor. He is very nice and good looking. He told me he don't like my chemo, he like to treat me with hormonal medications, because my receptors positive. He don't make a final decision yet,because he scheduled for me scans and blood work. My TM very high 1046. My scans will be 05/30, next visit to doctor 06/06.I didn't have my bone scan 6months, abdomen, pelvic and chest 1 year. I don't know what happens after scans, we'll see.
0 -
Irina,
Okay, I am glad you got to see him. I actually do not know what you mean by the TM. Can someone explain what this means? I know they mean tumor markers, but what does that mean? I do not have that on my path report. If your appointment is late on 06/06, I might be able to meet you as I live two minutes away from his office. I have to work that day, however, so it owuld need to be late. Either way, I wish you well.

Me again! Never mind the TM information. I found it right here on this Board! I get it now, although they sound very iffy to me. My doctor probably never told me my TM number as he knew I do not do well with "iffy"!
I will give the Illinois Women a rest from me now and attend to my 90 essays I need to assess (we "assess" now and not "correct".....).

I'm calling her Old Lady Wendy! Just kidding!
Julie - so glad your scans came back neg. Now, you can go kick that tech who had you so scared!
Irina - glad you liked your new doc. I hope he is able to help you.
Jackie - love the positive attitude speech. I know sometimes it is hard to feel that way, but that is how I think also.
Sending positive vibes to you, WAM!
Have a good day all!

Hi all....just checking in for anything from Rita about WendytheYounger....Irina....sounds like Dr. Dragon is a keeper. Keep us informed as to what he decides to do. I am so happy that you found someone to work with you.
Jackie...as always, you keep us on our toes, always thinking!
Connie..."OLD LADY WENDY"??? Gee, thanks.
JanClare...did you get picked? (and I like Wendy the Wise much better...except for the most part, it doesn't fit me!)
Blackjack....jeepers, it's wed. night and you are leaving Sat for LV! You've just got to get better! I did get your recipes for cosmos, but I've cut myself down to 3 glasses of wine per week since my dx so I guess I will NEVER get around to having a cosmo! Maybe when the Sex and the City movie comes out I will treat myself. I really want to try one before they go the way of Harvey Wallbangers ( I liked those!).
DH had now decided that he DOES want to go to Florida after all in July. Sure, Tom, sure. Now try and find airfares! Men! And we have to fly into Orlando!
Hope everybody is well...Sharon...what are you up to now that you are "home" for a while? Doing anything fun?
Off to clean up the kitchen and put some long pants on....little too chilly in shorts with the windows open...think it will ever warm up?
Love from....

Blackjack - you were sick last time you went to Vegas! I remember because that is when I went also and you had bronchitis or something. Hope you feel better.
How about Windy Wendy since you like your top down?
