Where Are The "Oldbies"?

Sure, it was under 1 cm with a micromets in the sentinel node. I was estrogen receptor positive. I had AC x 4 plus about 33 radiation treatments. Then something like 4 years on Tamoxifen and 5 years on Femara. Exactly, given the age of bc.org, it does make me a very oldbie, a status I'm happy, thrilled to claim.

To all oldies:
Our dearest sister kats just lost her husband Bob very unexpectedly. They were married for 39 years.
Please make sure you send her a private message here, even thou I just noticed that she has not been here since sometime in 2010/11 (sorry, can't remember!). You can also PM me and I will make sure that she gets your message.
Thanks,

WOW! I haven't been here in soooo long. It's so sad that so many are angels in our memories - but I'm so glad to see so many of us still kicking. 2005 seems so long ago.
All of the blow-by from the Komen decision kinda kicked my memory into gear - I just had to come check on old friends and touch base with all of you that made the journey so much easier.
So far all is good, we've been from CA to North Dakota, back to CA, and now we're in WA state. I'll try to come by more often now!
Happy Groundhog Day!

OMG, so I went yesterday for the results of my six mos. scans....mammo was fine....however, after waiting an hour and a half, I went up to receptionist and asked what gives. She tells me my oncologist was in a meeting and that he was just now starting to see patients......wha??????????
After waiting two hours, I told them the doc can call me with the fucking results, as I have had it....developed high blood pressure due to these long assed waits................they called me this morning apologizing.....told me doc could not give me phone consult, I would still have to come in so I made my appt. for Tues...945, first patient, and if he doesn't see me within 20 min, I am demanding my med records and finding a new oncologist. This is BS!

Laura,
You go girl! I have never dealt with a doctor like that and I would not tolerate it either.

OMG, I just now read over some of the past posts and now realize that junie passed! See? This is why I hesitate to come back here! But. I do miss the fun times, and yes, we DID have fun times where we would curse, tell bawdy jokes, and just try to forget the big C for awhile.
Will check in next week after my appt. on Tues.
One thing chemo never did: kill my spunkiness!
Love to all,
Laura

Just checking back in. Hugs to all with the health issues. And so sad to hear more are angels. Next Monday is my 9 year anniversary of hearing, "You have cancer, but we don't know which kind."
The one get together in NYC had to have been 2004 because my hair was just starting to grow (at least that's what my brain tells me it remembers.)
So great to see all the familiar names. But I see that this is no longer a stickie thread.

Congratulations,Stefs, on your 9 years!
Have you posted on the thread 'survival stage 3 with lots of nodes' (or words to that effect) - they would be so pleased to hear from you!

Yes I have posted there and in the triple-neg area in a similar thread.
This thread makes me feel at home back with so many familiar names.

Hello friends, If anyone from the NYC area is available Saturday evening...June 1, 2013 at 6pm....I will be walking in the survivor lap of the Relay For Life. It is at the Roseland Ballroom in Times Square. I would love to see some of my fellow fighters there. Please find me to say hello and walk with me! I look like that picture on the left. : ) Sachi

Hi Sachi!
Guess I'm 7 months too late to see you. I would have loved to join you.
Happy New Years 2014 and Best Health to You and All Our Oldbies

Hi ladies. I am an 'oldbie" I suppose, I do remember Sierra and Shirlann, and when Sprite passed, so sad. I joined in 2004 when I had DCIS, but my name was JudyB then. When I came back years later, it made me change that for some reason? I was online here a lot between 2004 and 2006, then I went back to college. Then in 12/2008 I was diagnosed with Metaplastic Breast cancer, TN, squamous cell. But I still have not been online here too much as we started a group specifically for Metaplastic on facebook and I spend most of my time there. Back in 2008 there weren't many of us metaplastics to be found, even here on bco, but since the facebook page we have found over 200 ladies.
Good to see some familiar names, and I hope you all continue to do well.

I apologize for my warning about the hacker. It seems a member of this community made her first comment on my FB wall when I don't remember ever adding her to my FB account because I had claimed I thought my acct. was hacked. She said she knew me from this site and I said I don't ever remember adding you to my friends' list and that she wasn't even listed as a friend when I did a search.
So, I came on here and indeed found her and the name she used to post her comment on my FB wall. I don't know what happened, as all these people I never added to my friends' list suddenly popped up from nowhere and were making comments. I finally was able to run a few programs and cleared up whatever virus that was causing the problem.
I tried to delete the topic once I found the member here on this site but I guess I didn't delete it completely. Again, my apologies.

Just wanted to do a shout out ltb, Sachi and everyone! Especially all of you that I met at the get together i NYC years ago!! I was months or a year behind so many of you. I'm not on here much anymore. (It's hard at times.) And an extra hug to the Fellow Texan ltb, even though I've been a transplant elsewhere for yearssss now.

I'm so glad I just happened to find the Board when searching my appropriately reconfigured computer! And then there YOU are, Kiddo! Has been a tough row to hoe - seems I've been a complication looking for a place to happen! BUT that is NOT true for all...and have a good feeling about your course... Our "meeting" is sheer Serendipity - lucky good fortune...and I'm sending power-filled thoughts your way...
