    Well, Kelly, my DDs are 35, 36, and 38.  They only let me act stupid to a point.  Then, it's MOOOOMMMM!  And do not bring up sex in front of my youngest....grosses her out (I say, how do you think you got here?)....her two sisters laugh at her.  Now, they can make a fool out of themselves.  When my youngest daughter had her bachelorette party she had to dance on a table, wear a you-know-what around her neck, and various other, uh, shall we say obscene things.  Of course she had to have a few drinks before.  Then, when my middle daughter got married she refused to do what the youngest one did.  So, they had a wonderful party in the mountains, went white water rafting, sat in a natural spring..yada yada.  No crazy stuff!  Oh, and when my youngest had a shower out of town I sent with my oldest daughter a present for her...to embarrass her.  It was a real cheap, yucky, ugly negligee (very tacky).  Haha!  Everyone thought it was FOR REAL!  Until my oldest finally informed her it was a joke! 

    I really gotta go now and get my arse up from here.

    I'm new to this thread and finding it very therapeutic.  The sucky thing that happened to me today is I had sent a close friend an email telling her how awful I felt about starting chemo and the radiation to follow.  I said I just couldn't stop crying over being ugly, fat and bald for the next year or more.  In her response she suggested I buy a bronzer to look healthier!  I was blown away.  Doesn't that SUCK?

    Collector,

    Ya, that sucks. I am soooo sick and tired of crying.All I do is cry. The best place to cry is in the shower. No one knows and it feels great to have the water wash away all the tears. My DH has no hot water left for his shower because I have been in there too long.

    Shirley,  I am mystified. What is a you know what around her neck? I have all kinds of things going through my mind. A bra, A thong, tie dyed underwear. What was around youngest daughter's neck? I will have to find out tomorrow as I need to go to bed and get some sleep tonight.

    OK....here is my bitch for the day.... I look like Mr. Clean!  LOLOL

    I had lost all most all my hair.  I had shaved it all to about 1/4 inch long, and the few hairs I had left were itching like mad....so last night I got out a new bic and shaved my head smooth.  It feels SO much better, but man I am REALLY bald now!  I could use my head for a light reflector...it shines :)

    Shirley,

    Thanks!  I sometimes want to scream, but it seems that our dh's have 'selective hearing', when it comes to things THEY don't 'want' to hear!  He is doing better now, but who knows what might set him off again?  and to think, everyone is saying that we females are the emotional ones!

    Hope you have fun with your friend tomorrow, at lunch... she's lucky, 'cause she gets to go to lunch with you!  You are so fun to be with, you have a line about 10 miles long, with people who want to meet you for lunch, or to go shopping with you, because you are such a nice person, and so much fun!!

    Where is Hanna?

    Hanna, can you please read the post from Shirley about the shower for her youngest  daughter and tell us what a "you know what around the neck" is. You might have some good ideas. Help us out. We need your brain. If you can't come up with anything can you ask your parrot what he thinks it could be.LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!  This SUCKS!!! I can't figure it out.

    Thankx,

    I am just starting my journey with bone mets and breast cancer and I find that Im scared pretty much most of the time.

    I don't want cancer at 38....I want to live....I just hate being scared. I hate the fact that I thought that I nearly had this thing on the way out only to find out that it had sneaked somewhere else...its not fair...I hate cancer....Im dreading all the treatment that I have yet to go through......

    Please somebody find a cure (crying now) I DONT WANT THIS!!!!

    I hate to say this here, but...YIPPEE! NO MORE CHEMO!!! My final path was great! Well, besides the DCIS part. The second Mastectomy puts me in a good place and I won't need Tamoxifen!!! HA! And no more mammos either...ever!

    For my own peace of mind, (what little's left!) I'm having a bone scan on Wednesday. I have several achy spots and she wants to see if it's SE's from treatment, aging or possible Arthritis. I'm also going to see another Onc to get a second opinion, so I know I've done all I can. Plus, I have a referral to see a genetic counselor. We're pretty sure this is genetic, but we might as well get it confirmed for my daughters and grand-daughters.

    Sorry this isn't sucky, but it's been the year from H@LL and I've needed this good news. Happy Birthday to ME! Thanks to all for all the good vibes and prayers...

    Sorry for your pain, Flyrzfan......wish I could send you a prescription for some "Damnitol" - take 2 and the rest of the world can go to hell for up to 8 full hours.

    Linda - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!   That's great news!!!! 

    beastybabe - I'm sending you the prescription, too. Cancer sucks so much!

    Deb - sucks about your hair.  Just point that shiny head at those bears to blind them the next time they try to come after your chickens 

    Sweet, unsucky dreams everyone!

    Wow...lots of posting and some new folks, too. 

    Kerry - I agree - crying in the shower is the best place.  Who cares if your nose runs? 

    Linda - Congrats!!!! And Happy Birthday!  Mine's next week!

    Traci - Hate moving - this is the longest place I've lived (10 years)and I'd hate the thought of trying to pack.  Yuck!!

    HannaB - Get your bird!  My mom bought my 4 y.o. dd a parrotlet for her b-day last year.  He's green and she named him Pickle.  He's only 5 inches and cute as a button.  He's just trying to talk - maybe I should teach him some stuff...

    Speaking of stuff to say, I'm still in "insurance limbo" waiting for approval of the second opinion on my pathology report.  So I'm talking to one of the "representatives" (actually very nice and I tried not to take it out on her) and explaining why I want the second opinion.  And she says "I don't really know much about breast cancer or the treatment" and I said "Neither did I until a month ago."  I should have added "And that SUCKS!"

    So a great big "That Sucks!" to anyone I missed!

    Linda!!  What a super Happy Birthday present!!  Congratulations!  This is the Lucky Ducky's thread for sure!!! 

    See, all this moaning and groaning DOES work!!

    I will have to amp up my complaining I think...

    Kerry ~ OK, I actually found Shirley's post and it sounds like her dd could have been wearing an oosik around her neck at her shower!  
    Anyway, I'm done talking about oosik's for the time being. 

    Since it appears complaining does seem to help us here, I'm going to say I seem to be sad.  Blah. 

    Today on the news I was listening to a story about 2 girls college baseball teams up in Washington State who were playing the last game of the season.  On one team there was a senior girl who had been up to bat 38 times over the 4 years on the team but only hit the ball 3 times.  This was her last time up at bat and to everyone's surprise, this senior girl connects with the ball and slams it out of the park! 

    Everyone is screaming and cheering for this girl because they all knew she didn't have but the 3 hits in 4 years.  So this is amazing!  The girl is as surprised as everybody else and runs to first base but was so excited she missed the base bag by 5 feet.  She had to stop mid-stride and turn around to touch the bag - but in doing that, the girl totally blows out her knee!  She barely makes it to the bag and collapses in pain. 

    The whole crowd is sad because this meant instead of the homerun she would have had - it was only gonna be a single and she would be out of the game. 

    Here's the amazing thing.  The OPPOSITE team of girls calls a time-out.  They huddle together and ask the umps if their own three basemen could CARRY this hurt senior from the other team around so she could tap her good leg on each base bag and carry her to homeplate so she could end her college career with a homerun.  It was granted and they carried the girl around so she got her one and only homerun!  The crowd was cheering like crazy and the amazing thing is because the opponent teamates carried this girl home - they ended up losing by 1 point in a 4 to 3 finish. By their own good sportwomanship, they lost the game.   But this story showed the true spirit of how women will support each other - even when they are on opposite teams.  

    So I'm driving while I hear this this morning so I started crying and crying in my van and my eyes are so blurred with tears I could hardly see ahead of me. 

    Something about this story really got to me this morning.  I'm starting to tear up again, so I will sign off for the time being.

    Hanna, I saw that on GMA yesterday and I also teared up seeing it and again thinking about it. The girl's teammates could not help her, if they did they would have forfeited the game, but I am proud of the other team to help the girl go for her home run.

    Linda, Great news on the path report, Have a very happy and unbitchy birthday.

    OMG, where to start?  Oh, yeah--BC SUCKS!  There.  Now I can get on with my post.

    Marsha, I am laughing soooo hard: 

    "...a prescription for some "Damnitol" - take 2 and the rest of the world can go to hell for up to 8 full hours."  Oh, I love that.  I'd never heard it before.  Can I get some?  It sounds like something I could have used pre-menopause (too late now).  One of the things I noticed during every single one of my menstrual periods was that, all of a sudden, everyone else had been taking STUPID pills.  How could they all coordinate that so well???

    Looks like Shirley's not talking.  I'll bet it was a padded oosik.  I'm going to get one.  Maybe not padded, though--just the naked kind. (I know some vet pathologists who do post-mortems on dogs all the time.)  Will it work like a talisman to ward off BC recurrence if I wear it on a cord around my neck?

    Hanna, I saw that same story on TV about the girl with the hurt leg being carried around the bases by the opposing team.  You filled in the details--thanks.  It was so heart-warming, it made me cry.  I don't often cry during the sports part of the news, except of course from things like the Eight Belles catastrophe.  I remember when Ruffian broke down during that match race way back in the 1970's.  I swore I wasn't going to watch horse racing ever again; and I can resist pretty well.  (I wasn't watching on Saturday when Eight Belles broke down--I just read about it on Google News.) 

    Anyway, it was nice to hear something good on a sports broadcast for a change, instead of NASCAR wrecks and steroid use and athletes flunking out.  And, of course, broken legs and horses dying.

    Christine, love the green bird named "Pickle".  Your daughter is so creative!  It makes me laugh, just picturing that bird.  Pickle:)

    And, of course, Linda--we are all sooo relieved at the news. Don't feel guilty about posting that you won't need chemo this time.  Heaven knows you've been through more than your quota of BC adventures.  Heck, don't assume your BRCA results will be positive.  I have a friend who had two BC occurrences that were distinctly different primaries a few years apart, one in each breast ... and she's BRCA negative (no mutations).  Just really sorry luck, I guess.

    Finally, to everyone else who posted recently--all together, now:  THAT SUCKS!

    I'm new to posting on this board but not new to cancer .. like Collecter I find this thread therapeutic.  It's the place to bitch and Lord knows we all need that.  I've been reading here for month's and crying and laughing along the way.  I want to know when I'm going to get cancer out of my mind and not think about it every frickin' second of the day? 

    BeastyBAbe, I cried reading your post. I'm so sorry, it Sucks.

    HannaB, you are such a good writer, I cried reading your telling of the story about the homerun girl.  I cried when I first heard it on the news too! 

    Linda, great news for you, you deserve to share that here too. 

    What a rollercoaster of emotions today and everyday.  Does it ever end?????

    Shouting out THAT SUCKS!!! along with you all.
