Jo - Have fun in the sun.

Sheila - I think I messed up on the countdown. If it is for the cruise, I have 73 days. I am so focused on the results - those are Friday. Will blame my mess up on radiation brain that is still hanging around.

Jo - well good wishes on Friday and the 73 days will be here before you know it.

Barbara - beautiful dresses! I love them all, but amazingly I think I like the pink one the best, too. I would have never guessed that about me, either, but something about it is awesome! Also, what a wonderful way to spend a birthday - was it your DH's birthday?
raj - I haven't met you yet but always enjoy your posts. Glad to see you back, and it's so nice that you are able to help your friend through this maze. You said you were concerned about stopping Arimidex - have you thought about trying Tamoxifen? I was originally supposed to take Arimidex, but I wouldn't do it so my onc said I could take Tamoxifen. So far, I've had no SEs. Maybe you could ask your onc about it. A lot of oncs are now deliberately swapping out between tamoxifen and AIs during the first 5 years - they think it makes both of them work better. So you may have just gotten the hardest part over with already!

Went back to the doctors today for the rest of my test results. Well I have another area on right breast now and left breast has significant changes since biopsy. I also have a cyst on my liver and a polyp in my lung, but they said they are not worried about them. They are worried however about my right ovary. They want a abdominal ultrasound done. I told her I had one in December and they wanted the mri done, which the mri says to have the sonogram done. So if my head wasn't spinning enough it is now. I am going to start taking xanax. Still waiting on a date for surgery.

Carol - My head would be spinning to if I were in your shoes. All the tests - Whew! I hope you find out something soon - you could get dizzy real fast LOL

geez Carol--When it rains it pours! I would be dizzy by now! Hope you get some answers soon! This is the worst part--the waiting!!

carol - I hope they hurry up and get your surgery scheduled, but I guess you can look at the bright side in that they are being thorough. Still, I would be just about to jump out of my skin! Glad you have the xanax, and good luck getting things narrowed down and finalized so you can finally move on! (((carol)))0

We usually to the Deluxe Sail & Snorkel on Carnival. We love that one. It lasts about 3 hours and still gives you time to shop.

Thanks Jo - my husband and I did snorkeling in Cancun and I didn't really like it, we were in little speed boats and had to climb back on top of them when we were done - I felt like a beaching whale trying to throw myself on top of that boat!! lol

How I wish I could go on a vacation right now....starting radiation soon, but once it's done and the hubby is back from his deployment, we are doing something fun!!!
Peace and prayers,
Tori

Thanx Barbara for your warm support and also thanx to elimor.. I love your new picture ! that,s awsome, to mjbmiller - nice to see you in this thread, sherry thank you for your support and to heartnsoul76. I know with all your support, I can now be able to give support to my colleque. This is what exactly, I have been expecting and searcing.
Barbara - I saw your picture .. your are looking so georgious, at the first instant I was wondering who is this lady..I appreciate the way how you keep yourself looking healthy and younger looking. Anyways.. this is about my medication . initially I was with tamoxifan for one and half years then my onc advised me to take arimidex so I have already completed 5 and half years with both the medicine that is why my doc stop me taking arimidex. Now I am carrying on my life without any medication which disturb my mind everytime as I know I am not cured fully. For this reason I keep on worrying and worrying and trying to find any news about the ffuture outcome which I have to face with if in case the same comes back once again.
I am feeling so relief on seeing all the post in this thread. I have full confidence in this thread particularly to you all.

raj ~ I was thinking about getting off the computer & getting to bed, but sometimes it's so hard to leave this great group of gals & I try to stay caught up on some special threads. I will have been on Aromasin for 2 years on Feb. 20 & I think of what it will be like when I don't take it anymore. I'm sure I will feel the same as you do right now. You are so strong, so determined to keep moving & looking forward. I truly enjoy reading your posts. You give me confidence, dear sister/friend.
((hugs))

Hi Lynn ~ I am so happy you have found us but I am sad that we have to meet this way.
This group of ladies (I call them my sister/friends) are my support & my rocks. You are just beginning this journey, for lack of a better word, & you will find much love & support here. If you have any questions, please ask, any rants, let her rip, any tears, we have lots of cyber-kleenx. Come often. Oh, you can only post 5 times in one day until you reach 50. (it has to do with spamming). You can PM anyone by just clicking on their avatar or name & click on 'send a private message' in the upper right corner. (if I remember correctly)
We are here for you 24/7.
Val
(((hugs)))

Hi Lymn ! you are most welcome to be here with all of us. You are very lucky to be in this thread as all our sisters are always open their hearts for anything which you might never get from your near and dear ones if I am not wrong. You can post private message too to any one of us as what val says. You just try it and see the responses pouring on you.

Welcome Lynn - Such a great bunch of middies here. So sad we had to meet like this. This is the place to speak freely and let the emotions out - whatever they may be at the time. Come often and and hang out with us.

Welcome, lynniea. You don't have to put on a brave front when you come here. I will hope that your biopsy shows something B9, and you won't even have to enter our world. But if you do get the news that it is B/C, you are in a large group of women who got the same. You might crumble a little, but you don't fall. Instead, you discover your inner strength. Trust me, it is in there!0

To a great day, Elimar.
