Linda, I too think it totally unfair that you have to undergo MORE surgery. I will be thinking of you as well.
Harley, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! May all of them be cancer free!
Traci, I hope your hair is dong better that my nastyness that sits on top of my head! Have you gotten a trim to even things up??? I don't know what to do to make this look more "feminine"!!!!!
Love all you guys! Barb0 -
Amy - I just signed on specifically to find out about your biopsy.
YAAAAAAY!
What a relief! I had been holding my breath just a little teensy bit and now this bit of good news just feels terrific!
Linda - it SUCKS that you are going back in to surgery to lose another piece of your body, your self, to this nasty fuc#ing disease tomorrow. You have paid your dues. I am angry for you.
As I am for you, Marsha - what you wrote in your journal was very TRUE and moving. This damned chemo better be kicking some major cancer cell butt all over the place through every capillary and system and organ and leaving nowhere to hide!
Glad you and Deb both got some relief on the Throne. How well I remember those days. And not fondly.

Linda - this thing is never ending suckiness. . .I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and hope you get a good path.
Amy - Great news!!!
Harley - Glad to hear someone's dh can cook. That dinner sounds wonderful.
The best mine could do today was throw some hot dogs on the George Foreman because he doesn't feel good and his ear hurts so he ate and went to bed. Poor baby. . .NOT, I'm the one recovering from surgery. . .you would think he could put his "I'm a man and therefore must be sicker than you" on hold until I get back on my feet!

So happy for you Amy!!! Linda, I will keep you in my thoughts tomorrow. Post when you can to let us know how you are. My theory is that you have all the sucky news out of the way, so things should go well
I have a sinus headache and every time I blow my nose it bleeds....sigh...so I guess that is just a status quo sucky bit of news. I am really curious what my blood counts are doing becasue I am really tired. I will find out on Wednesday....

Linda - Twice sucks big time. Best wishes for a good surgery and recovery.
Deb - the nose bleeds suck. Or do they blow? Either way, you've had too much suckiness.
Happy birthdays, biopsy results, and good nights sleep to all.
Saw my mom yesterday - over 17 years since her BC. Chemo brain is forever - she told her doctors over and over while going through tx that her mind was going, but it was pooh-poohed. She says no short term memory sucks. (and it does cause she can't remember which sister she told the stories to.)

Hi All,
Just "lurking" around - it really DOES help to read about other people's suckiness and a loud and full THAT SUCKS to all!
My bitch actually started yesterday...when my 8 y.o. dd threw up her dinner. Didn't know if it was a flu thing or a food thing (I think now it was a food thing) so I packed up the 4 y.o. and sent her to grandma's to prevent possible "spreadage". My dh was at work (he works nights) so I'm with her for the evening and when it wasn't coming out of one end, it was coming out of the other. And now I'm feeling paranoid because the LAST thing I want right now is the flu. I must have washed my hand 25 times! So I get her to bed and think she'll be out for the night...but nooooooooo, she wakes up at 11:00 and 11:30 (no more stuff coming out, just aches and pains). Finally back to bed at midnight.
So just when I think I can actually get a solid night's sleep with the 4 y.o. gone (she still comes in with me in the middle of the night!), guess what?! I'm up at 4 AM with total and complete "itchy boob"! I thought I was gonna scratch open the incisions...and when it wasn't itching, it was hurting! THIS SUCKS!!!
Linda - I don't know you, but I know having surgery sucks big time, so I will be thinking of you tomorrow. I hope it goes the best it possibly can for you.

You know what sucks, it sucks when you spend your time and energy founding something to help people heal, and people tell you you're wrong and accuse you of trying to 'sell' something.
Comiserate, fine. But don't tell me I'm wrong for being who I am. I didn't tell anyone they were wrong.
I'm a survivor just like you and my time and money and energy have been spent to bring FREE integrative health services to survivors. What I'm giving away sister, is my full time, money and administration in the service of other women, so if I post my URL its so people who appreciate that help can find it.
So, forgive chemosabi --but I've no need to apologize for being who I am, if I'm in a different place then you I'm allowed to be there.
Its such a shame when people can't even be nice to another sister.
I wasn't asking for a thing from anyone, or telling anyone they were wrong for bitching, and I certainly am not about being a mean person and making a newbie to these boards feel unwelcome.
It did fall under the "moving beyond breast cancer" topic.
I gather my time would be more appreciated elsewhere. So Enjoy!

Well lets see, Im awake - didnt sleep well because the man had the TV on all night. It seems like I woke up every hour. Then right when its time for me to get up - he turns it off, rolls over and goes to sleep. I swear televisions should be outlawed in bedrooms!
Amy: Im so happy for you. What a relief.
Linda: It sucks big time that you are having surgery today. I will be thinking about you today.
DebC: A nose that blows!
Cristine: There is nothing worse - its so hard having to take care of a sick child. Itching boobs? Mine still it and they have both been gone for almost 3 years now.
Sam: I do believe no matter how sick we are, people still see us as the main caregivers.
Pam: Chemobrain: Well lets see, I had to go back and read your post 3 times before I could remember what I wanted to say. Enough proof about chemobrain?

Well the phone rings at 8:00am my sister is on crying . Lost both her breasts had rec (tram - fl) now has pain and a lump. It took me a while to get her to calm down. Now she has an appointment with the surgeon on Thursday. So heading down and going with. You've have got to be kidding me. This disease just s**ks. When will this end ????????? She lost her husband 2 years ago to lung cancer. He was so supportive , she doesn't think she will make it with out him.
Hope we both maake it through this doctors appt. WTF. I'm just sick and tired of all of this . This makes me so mad I can't even think streight. AAAnd now that I've bitched I don't feel any better.

But I wanted to say to Carlin....that sucks. My sister just had a tram flap and they mutilated her. It SUCKS having a sister with this crap. Hugs girl.

Holy crap....a hearty THAT SUCKS! to all!
I've got a couple new ones....
I am soooooooooooo tired of answering the "How ARE you?" questions! I live in a small community and information travels at the speed of light. Since my little trip to the ER last month, I have had people coming out of the woodwork wanting details! I realize they probably do care and just want to be supportive, but it's damned draining! And, since my onc wasn't even at the appointment last Monday that HE set up for us to talk about tx, I don't even have any news to tell these people. AGHHHHHH!
DH's 40th birthday was Sunday. I didn't even have energy to go out and buy him a card. His parents had a little party for him at their house--and now we all have the runs! (how's THAT for "my crap"?!?!) I swear I KNEW better than to eat anything there. We ALWAYS get sick...but I was hungry and there was no other option. Now we've had the runs since Sunday with no end in site.
DH is looking for a second job. The first job has suddenly started limiting his overtime hours and we can't make the house payment with what he's bringing home. They moved several months ago and now it's costing over $100 in fuel a week just to get there. CRAP. Our expenses go up at the same time the income goes down. He was promised a promotion nearly a year ago and they keep holding meetings with the other supervisors, telling them that they are to listen to DH as though he were their boss, but they aren't talking to dh! I'm guessing they're afraid to tell him he's really the boss because then they'd have to give him a raise. I wish he could just get a different job entirely, but we can't live without that insurance coverage. I'm about to start AVASTIN and it's $10,000 a dose here. If we had standard 80/20 coverage (the norm around here) there is absolutely no way to pay for it. THAT SUCKS.
And I want to know how in the hell it is that the radiation techs cannot get their sh#*$ together! I am sick and tired of driving over an hour to get there every day and having to sit in an overcrowded waiting room for over an hour. Rads is exhausting enough--I'm afraid that I won't have enough energy to drive myself home one of these days. Good grief. We are a bunch of SICK people who have CANCER, for pete's sake! They have 4 frickin chairs in the rads waiting room...wtf??? I cannot STAND UP FOR AN HOUR!! And, if the new tech who must be a graduate of the Roseanne Barr Charm School butchers my name one more time I'm going to scream!!! Good lord...one day last week she said it 3 different ways in the span of 5 minutes and didn't get close even once. It's honestly not a hard name at all. Sure doesn't do much to build my confidence in her as she's lining me up to get zapped....
((((HUGS)))))) y'all!

Amy, I'm happy for your results, sad ab out the darkness but oh so happy to "know" you (not in the Biblical sense, lol); Way to ward off a potential sticky situation, girl! You rock!
Linda, it soooo sucks that you have to have another mx! Vaccum-like suckage! Thoughts and prayers are with you today, for sure...
Deb, hoping your nose feels better and the fatigue lifts for you. Nose bleeds suck...
Honeygirl, love the new look!
Carlin, prayers for your sister...
Christine, hoping your daughter - and your boob - are feeling better!
Nicki, you either need a new tv with a timer or a new dh, lol! I agree with you about tv's being banned in the bedroom, lol...
And remember, if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off...

You Can Thrive...
Luanna (You can Thrive) is a good friend of mine and I just can't sit back and let you malign her like you have. You really shouldn't be so nasty to someone who has completely dedicated herself to serving the breast cancer community. Luanna founded and runs a non-profit that provides FREE services to breast cancer survivors. How you can think that she's trying to "Sell" something is beyond me.
I understand that this is a "bitch and moan" thread. As a survivor who was diagnosed at 33 with stage 3 breast cancer, I understand all about bitching and moaning. But, it doesn't entitled anyone to speak so nastily to someone and question their motives the way that some of you have.
I know we all have a lot of fear, anger, frustration, etc., but let's try to direct it where it belongs, not at eachother.
