Okay, Okay! Jeese- I wasn't trying to get an act of congress to change the color of breast cancer! I was just stating how I feel. I thought this thread was for bitching- that's what I was doing. Sorry... Tami

When I read Idaho's post the first thing that popped in my head was BLACK - the breast cancer color should be BLACK, like my mood these days.............
0 -
Thank you Kellyless- I mentioned that color also, not for mourning, but for anger and pain. ANyway girls- I am sorry about my above outburst. I had a bad day today. It should have been good- I had my last rad treatment today (have 5 boosts to go though). Anyway I am laying there on the table just like I have for the last 6 weeks and it just HITS me that I am laying on the VERY SAME table and getting rads from the VERY SAME machine that my mother and brother did. They have since passed on,(brother 2 years ago, Mother 1 year ago from breast cancer) and I just started bawling, couldn't stop. I think the techs thought I was nuts- most people cry the first day not the last!! I couldn't even get enough breath to tell them what was wrong. Maybe tomorrow I can, I don't know. Anyway, I still think we need something stronger that represents breat cancer instead of a pink ribbon. Kellyless- How about a PURPLE fist!!?? Tami

Purple is the color for ALL CANCER... so we are covered with purple. I don't think pink is that bad, really. Pink can be POWERFUL!!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ TAMI ! }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} you shouldn't have been lying there alone! I could have been an elephant in the room with you...I didn't even notice a "rant"...

IDAHO- never apologize for ranting. You definitely had and IOS. Hugs to you.

I think black is for Breast cancer. Idaho...You deserve to rant and bitch. The floor is yours.
Edited to read....Oops. I meant Skin Cancer (melanoma).

Thank you girls. I am done for now though. The hugs definitely helped! Tami

I normally don't post on this thread, but have a IOS. Or perhaps I should say that one of the women I work has an IOS. She came by my office today and told me she has just beeen dx with breast cancer. I talked with her and gave her my advice. I hope what I had to say was helpful. But It just sucks. Big time.
I haven't been able to concentrate on my work - I keep on thinking of my co-worker and what it was like when I was first dx.

Idaho, Renee is right, you deserved the rant. It's me. I'm just too out of synch here anymore

WhaSux????
Where do I begin? I have been off line due to my hip pain. I really thought the Lyrica was the answer, but then it got worse & I spent 36 hours in bed doing the percoset-doezzzzzzz
Hopefuily upping the Lyrica will help--but now they have scheduled me for possible rads! WTF? This is the same pain I had 3 years ago!!! I find it difficult to accept that rads are indicated just YET! So we're raising the dose (thank you Lu ann!) then we'll try cortisone/steroid injections BEFORE I agree that rads may be the only solution--But really kids, if you read anything about mets----this just doesn't present as mets! Why is it that once we're stage IV it is the natural default dx for ANY & EVERY damned thing that happens to us??? Grrrrrrr.
Add to this that I can't sleep (been sleeping for weeks! LOL) & I can't type without the light on---but most of the keys on my laptop have no letters left on them!!!! Go figure!
Princess---you used a word that perfectly describes your "ex"-a BOY!!! Now go looking for a man & get what you truly deserve!
Renee----you rock!
Idaho & Dream----I think I used to like pink, but not so much anymore! I hate the commercial use of it, but a pampered chef demonstrator just gave me a new perspective on it all---she said each time a friend uses the pink scrapper she may be reminded to do her monthly self-exam. I can't argue with that one!
---all opinions here should be stated as a rant or vent and then can NOT be trashed since this IS the bitch thread!
Hugs--new page & can't go back to remind myself of what else is going on (maybe the percoset is finally working....zzzzzz)
THAT SUX to all waiting for results, new dx's, worthless men, & pink disagreements!!!!!!!! HUGS all--be well & stay strong

I thought we were all weighing in regarding colors. I did not mean to trash anyone's opinion, I am sorry if it came off that way.
0 -
You? Trash? This is the BITCH thread! There is nothing you can say or do on this thread that would offend anyone!
I think I was the first one in the world to say I don't like pink! I love purple!
0 -
Barbe, there have been those that thought I belong on the BITCH thread
I like purple as a color too, thought it was pancreatic cancer? I really can't keep all the different colors straight anymore. I do know there is one for peanut allergies, my nephew taught me that, just can't remember what it was, just remember it would have been easier to remember if it was brown like peanuts. Guess no one liked brown

kmc: Goggle knows all... LOL !!! My IOS: biopsy today, son will be there with me and take me back home. Then the horrible wait until Thursday for results. I am sure someone is gonna say "Have a nice day or weekend ". I just might punch him/her if it happens.
Just when I was on the soon to finish all this business, Mammo showed suspicious area on the other breast, but I was assured it is not ductal. Little comfort to even have something else suspicious, but I will survive, this too will pass. Last summer I had no hair and no shaving of legs. Can I be so "lucky" again this year? I know, sick, but gotta find some humor, even if mine is weird.
About time to get a shower and ready or steady myself for this. Hugs for everyone. Blessings and prayers for NO IOS. That Sucks, as needed. Nancy

Nancy, I am saying prayers for ya! Keep that sense of humor going! It's the same kind that I have! Ya gotta find the few positives in all of this and hang on for dear life. There aren't many but they are there! No shaving is a BIG one! All will be fine I know. Big hugs to you!

Nancy - Best of luck on your biopsy today. As to the answer to "Have a nice day or weekend" you might ask "how?" Waiting for test results is the worse.
PrincessofPower: I hope you find some measure of peace with the bone mets or at least some relief. I know no one likes to be in pain but I really hate it. I tend to take it as a personal affront.

Hi all...sorry, I was MIA...went to ONC yesterday and got good news/bad news....good, no more Herceptin! After 9 months of hell ONC finally said enough is enough -your body is just not tolerating it. Bad news, she doesn't like the lump and has ordered an ultra sound and who knows what next...so the ultrasound is next Thursday. Right about when Nancy will get her results from her biopsy - Geeze Nancy...we don't have to be THAT close
(last year I she was following me through the journey...now our roles are reversed). Sorry I can't send out seperate shout outs...my brain is mush, I'm tired as all get out even though I played hookey from work today and I'm pretty much ready to crawl in bed!
SOI...I get to see my brother tomorrow -he's in town for the weekend and we're meeting up for breakfast.
Happy Friday everyone...
