EGAL:
I agree with gsg, you are new & improved! I don't want to have another surgery but I can't keep getting D & C's for the rest of my life, or for the rest of the time I am still taking Tamoxifen, since I believe that Tamoxifen caused these polyps and it just makes these things grow... I don't want to have another D & C again. It was painful afterward.
Rock:
I agree.... PLEASE STAY and change your name, but somehow, let us know it's you!! I would miss you so much if you left!!Sue,
YAY!! So glad that you got clean scans!!
Not much IOS to report here. I'm so glad it's Friday!!Harley

Your picture was so nice! Your daughter is beautiful and your gd is so cute!!
Have a good time visiting with your family this weekend!!
I'm looking forward to seeing you again on Sept. 5th, when I go back to see that gyn onc.Harley

Sue, HOORAY!!! for clean scans and good heart (already knew you were goodhearted)
Rock, hope you return somehow, someway!
Harley, I was thinking this morning about this gyn surgeon I went to for a consult 4 years ago (pre-BC) about a "mechanical" problem -- "vaginal vault prolapse", "uterine prolapse" -- he was supposed to be a big hotshot, but he refused to consider anything other than a hysterectomy! I had read that removing the uterus could actually accelerate the structural "collapse" and it might be better to "lift" the uterus surgically -- anyway, I was thinking that if we can't find doctors to do what we want, we could trade names of doctors who will only do one thing, and give the name to someone who wants that procedure! Like, I should see your gyn and you should come see Dr. Hysterectomy!
Best wishes to all for a nonsucky weekend!
Traci, is the owboysca amega onightta?

LOL Too Funny, Hanna! Dr. Do Little!! That is about right!!
Ann, if you want a D & C, with Hysteroscopy, he's the Dr. to see!! I think I will have to switch from Tamoxifen to one of those AI's I have been hearing so much about, that is, IF Dr. Do Little can convince my regular onc. that I am really post menopausal and can take an AI. Boy, what a bunch of idiots these drs. are! And they get paid SO MUCH MONEY too!!
Traci,
I was never very good at Pig Latin... igpa atinla Oga owboysca!

I am soooo late, but I GOT it! Here goes:

I am going to a cowboy football game today. I can't wait.
"Eliciafa, iya opeha heyta inwa. ewa eedna aya inwa adba."
Felicia, I hope they win. We need a win bad.
"uAnnLa, Iya eelfa heta amesa aywa. Iya on'tda nowka hatwa Iya ouldwa oda ithoutwa allya."
LuAnn, I feel the same way. I don't know what I would do without yall.
"Eesa allya aterla."
See yall later.

I like "Racita". Is that really a name? Pig latin might work: Ockra. Ockra? Tteroa? What are the rules for pig latin?
Just changing a screen name might not be enough. When you do that, all the original BCO posts become associated with the new screen name. Ockra tried that already. I think if someone was determined to figure out the new name, it wouldn't be too difficult. But, maybe that's the risk we take... One alternative is to start all over again as a new member.

Why are all our track relay teams dropping their batons?

I did have something sucky when I came here... Oh, yeah. I know we're not supposed to say bad things about other people here, but I'm sure getting tired of perfectly useful threads and interesting topics being taken over by people who only want to argue. There are some seriously mean-spirited "discussions" going on in parts of these boards. What really irks me (and I know it shouldn't) is that some of the people who are dominating those threads do not have BC themselves, and really, down deep, cannot possibly know what we are going through. They are experiencing BC vicariously through a spouse or loved one (unless they're trolls). Somehow that gives them an excuse to come here and preach to us, day after day, about what we should be doing, and what we should be thinking, and what sort of therapy we might need if we don't agree with what they say. I don't like fights, and I am getting tired of it. I'm sorry, but it sucks.
Why can't people play nice?

Sue......Yay.......good news!!! LOL......that closet otta win a prize!
Deb......glad to hear the chemo is working......YIPEE......hope your seeing straight soon!
Rock.....that's just too creepy, but don't leave
Otter.......hi, I can't agree more! BC sucks enough, fighting and arguing with these types isn't worth the breath!
Play nice ya"ll and have a suck free weeken!!! TGIF!
Minor suck here........still babying a severe ankle wound that stupid me ended up with a month ago after nearly breaking it up north......just about blew my vacation, all I could envision was a huge cast as I was crashing to the ground!

ICK--nosy friends, argumentative posters, all the IOS SUCK, Y'all!
Rock, I do hope that you can find a way to stay with us. Your Pam stories and special skills seminars never fail to delight.
Closets have FLOORS? Who knew? Shoes....sigh....When my back got so bad from the mets, I had to get rid of all my shoes that had a heel higher than an inch. I still dream about one pair: ivory-colored, strappy, leather sandals with little three-dimensional rosebuds made of leather. Initially, I thought I'd give them to my girlfriend's daughter. I couldn't, though. I don't think I could have watched someone else wearing my favorite shoes.
Not too much suckiness going on here--at least not anything to dwell on. I've actually found a little bit of energy these last couple of days and managed to get out of the house.
Say, now that we know how to make a pig noise...does anyone know how to do an elephant? I had a girlfriend named Francesca that shared her elephant....elephant...um--what do you call that noise an elephant makes anyway? So, Francesca <insert word for elephant noise in the past-tense here> at a very girly-girly tea party one time. Several very primly and properly attired "ladies" nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. I wish I had "skillz".
(((HUGS)))

yeah, "trumpet"...that's it! Anybody?

According to my husband, here is how you make an elephant trumpet sound:
1. "Hide " your lips inside your mouth. Make sure they are dry. Your lips, just under your nose, should be touching. There should be a space on either side of where the lips join, about thickness of a matchbook cover (almost touching).
2. Exhale briskly.
SOUNDS JUST LIKE AN ELEPHANT!

Otter - thank you for the translation. My chemobrain was keeping me from remembering how pig latin worked!! And yes, what was up with the baton thing?! And I agree, although I haven't been on those particlar boards, that some people ought to keep their opinions to themsevles. That would irritate me to no end, especially non-bc people!
Sue - thanks for the lesson in "elephant"! You are too cute!
My biggest IOS - that Rock feels unsafe here and will leave us (hopefully only for a short time). Here's a SUCKS! for everyone else!!

HI all:
How sad that people cannot channel the energy they use to argue, insult or hurt others for something good. Just like out there in person, there will be idiots, jerks, a**holes, and dumber than dumbies. IT SUCKS...
After my husband died, someone suggested this answer when asked how are you: " I am grieving as fast as I can." And it shut up people real quickly. I changed it a bit for when asked how I am doing now with BC and chemo: " I am kicking cancer's ass as fast as I can." It may be too "bold" for some, but if you have the guts to say it - go for it.
I never could make those animal sounds and even with Oink 101, or Elephant trumpeting 101 -- it is hopeless. However, I do a very convincing growl.. and I have that "mom look" that I can turn on in a half a second - that scowl that would turn a bully to mush -- add a bald head - better run for the hills....
Hunky - I promise beer and wine and a sofa to crash on. ( the recliner is mine, lol) The stereo will be at top volume and JC, Marvin Gaye, and Rocking and hopping till dawn...
I found out my Big Foot upstairs neighbor is moving "soon"... cant be too soon or me, as he was up stomping at 6 am today and at 8 am, still going strong. Maybe today is moving day.
Happy Saturday to all. HUGS, Nancy

Hello all,
I don't post on this thread but in honor of my pal, my friend, I will post a tribute to her.
I raise a new pink flag.
Enjoy the day, Karin

Sue! Major congrats to you...I could almost see you floating a foot off the floor and you deserve it!!
Otter: Ditto Christine on the interpretation...Had chemo on Thursday and couldn't make heads nor tails of the pig latin. Also--you must have run into one of the same threads as I...after a few days of raised blood pressure, and being called a she-wolf, I had to detach. Don't know what possessed me to engage in the first place, I'll blame the poor judgment on chemobrain (such a handy excuse for most anything these days! LOL)
But, nonetheless, it is an IOS to have such people (hopefully we're talking about the same person and there's only one of them!) on these boards, cause we come here for help, support and information, not the bullsh*t being spewed. I know these boards are open to the public, but why do they allow non-BC folks to post the hurtful things they do? I really felt I needed that thread cause it's a looming tx for me, and thought about starting a new one, but I'm sure the person would just show up over there.
Shoes? Well, I do own two pairs of crocs.....

Sherri,
I can totally relate to you on the other thread. It is a personal decision that we all make. We don't know the outcome of this journey - we just try to find our own path.
Hugs and no IOS to all!

Great flag, karin - I want one for my patio and bumper stick also...

Sue -- great "trumpeting" instructions! I made a sound -- if I could get over the tickling sensation, I could see where it could develop into elephant sound...
SherriM, I hadn't noticed that thread before (thankfully) -- but wow... stay here!!!

Sue!!!!!!!!! WHIIIIIIIIIPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on the clean scans!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanna know what's going on!! Who's being nasty??? Is it on the political thread????? I WANNA KNOW!!!!
The Cowboys won! Yea! I should really say, the Texans lost but whatever, I'll take a win! We were up real close. Our third back up quarterback, I can't think of his name right now cuz of the Teflon but his # is 4....man, he has a nice butt!!!!!!! Those guys sure do look young in real life.
Hugs everybody!

Wow...I saw the thread you guys are talking about and I am probably going to be pummeled for my opinion: the person that is being defended has been running off at the mouth spouting absolute bull$hit about stage IV bc and that really chaps my a$$. I think some posters were too hard on the husband.
Traci, it's a thread about the necessity of rads in early stage cancers. I don't begrudge the thread's initiator who felt like rads were not a good choice for her--we all have our choices to make and do our best to make the "right" ones. I have just noticed that she peppers her messages with a lot of bullcrap that is misleading if not downright wrong.
Ok...I took a bitch pill today and I'm sorry...don't even know why I bothered to post this except for the fact that her statements really pi$$ed me off and I felt it better not to post over there.

Badboob67: Yeah, I think she was pretty much cut out of the same (radical) cloth as the guy, just from other end of the spectrum (opinion-wise), and chapped my @ss on a number of subjects, but gave her the benefit of the doubt as a survivor. I have to be honest, her posts were so long and repetitive, I probably only read 1/4 of what she wrote. My bad!
Love you guys,
Sherri

Yeah, Diane, I started out thinking the same thing--here's someone who is presenting logical, reasonable arguments to counter what I saw as misleading information.
But, when it degenerated into mud wrestling (a flame war) that included calling BCO members names ("she-wolves" being an especially loathsome example), I turned it off. I just can't stand that sort of arguing, no matter who's right.
The trouble was, the same character(s) moved over to another thread about problems associated with insurance coverage. (It's on the mets board.) The language hasn't become quite so hostile, but just finding the same person(s) there kept me from posting anything. I figured nearly any counterargument to what was being claimed might end up igniting another flame war. I just have no extra energy to waste on that stuff.
That's something I've discovered since finishing chemo, and I nominate it as my day's IOS: I have very little patience anymore for "hassles".
Any little problem--I can't remember where I put my keys; I burn the blueberry pancakes; I can't get a stain out of a shirt in the laundry; my dh scolds me for spending too much time here--any of those things will tip the scales, and I lose it.
The big stuff--the "Big C"--rarely causes serious meltdowns anymore. That's because all my strength and energy is being channeled there, to be able to handle it. I feel like I've fallen out of the boat and I'm treading water like crazy, but I'm managing.
As a result, though, I think I have an energy shortage when it comes to handling the small stuff--the nuisance things. So, I am walking away from things I used to tackle just to get them done--things like locating that bottle of stain remover I know is in the cupboard somewhere, or countering someone's argument that insurance companies don't "control" what procedures and treatments we receive. If I don't walk away, I lose my sense of perspective and let the small stuff drown me.
I just realized all this probably belongs on Patrice's thread.
Something not so sucky--Tropical Storm Fay is giving us a very nice rain this weekend. It won't stall out and dump 2 feet on us, like it did in central Florida last week and is doing in the panhandle right now. Just a nice, steady rain, which we badly need here.

Hanna,
You and me both- here, Patrice's thread, chemo in April, chemo in May, the road to Hell--those are the only places you will find me. Occasionally I look for a member (Alaska Deb comes to mind) beacuse she hasn't posted in my usual places and I want to see how she's doing--but other than that, these are the only places on this site you will find me. I don't have time for the wars I have heard about, ever, and wouldn't waste my energy if I had it. I have a life, you know? I think that is the problem with these people I hear about being mean, they don't have a life!!! But i agree, these threads, and the people here, keep me sane.
Karin, great flag!!! She'll be back, I just know it!!! I miss her too.
Otter, great about the rain. The Navajos refer to that as a female rain, as opposed to a flashy thunderstormy male rain (you know the kind--all show and no substance ;O)
Sherri, you are seriously shoe-deprived and we need to get you shoe-shopping. Thanks for the good wishes.
Diane, taking a bitch pill before posting on the bitch thread sounds perfectly sane to me. Hope you have an excellent and pain-free weekend.
Wishing the same and no IOS to everyone, love you all!!!
Sue

Hannah, that would be so awesome if you adopted that 10 yr old dog!!! I have a friend that does that. She literally goes in and says show me your oldest doggies. And then she adopts the one that takes to her knowing that their time together may be short but, she's gonna make the last years of that dog's life good.
She's been doing it for like 20 yrs now. I think she has had 6 dogs???? It's so awesome. I even wrote the paper to see if they would do a human interest story on it but they didn't. We even had a show on the news called "Everyday Heroes". They didn't even pick it up. Stoopid in my opinion.
And, you are FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!! "so I bitch, moan and groan about not being able to get my act together"! hahahahahahahaahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Thank God for xanax. I went and took a look at the hostile thread....unbelievable. Thanks to the drugs though, I can just dust it off and move back to the hysterically insane threads.

OK....I know I should be happy that the spinal tap chemo seems to be working (my vision is slowly getting better and cell count is dropping) but I am seriously sick of this crap. I can not tell you how badly I need a couple of "normal" days. Getting my regular chemo and two spinal tap chemos a week, there is not much normal in my life right now! I hate that it all takes so much damn time and energy just to do my treatment.....it just SUCKS
Grrrrr......bitchy woman alert....hide your booze and chocolate......
