    wow, didn't notice the beige top till Eli pointed it out ... not sure it needed that, but whatever

    so many milestones this week ... rads and chemo ... I pray for you all to get past your treatment and just post with us because it's fun. but until you're done, keep those posts coming and ask whatever you need to ask, we've heard it all before, i promise

    holiday weekend ... i for one am relishing the days off from work ... this week in particular was a killer for me, so an extra day helps ... the fact that I left at 12:30 today, and I don't go back till Wednesday ... wooo hooooo!!!!!!!

    Eli you crack me up.  I had texted all my kids and told them white shirts and jeans for pictures.  Then it occured to me that they may not have a white shirt so I texted them back and said don't go out and spend money on a new shirt just go as light as you have.  And wouldn't you know my DIL did not have a white shirt.  The other DIL in the dress is pregnant with twins and did not have a white shirt that fit so the white dress. 

    Thank you all for the wonderful comments on my family.  I do think they are pretty wonderful myself.

    stjude10 welcome even though I'm sorry you have to be here.  This is a great group of ladies here and a great place to ask questions.

    Plans for tomorrow have changed.  Ran into my aunt and uncle at dinner tonight and they changed their plans and are not going to spend the night tomorrow night so they are taking Mom with them.  So promised Mom I would take Dad a DQ ice cream tomorrow and he will think he is King. She knows I'll look after him so she is OK with going with my aunt and uncle.

    Welcome, Stjude10!   Did you find the lump yourself or did the mammogram?  What surgery did you have?  Is rads next for you?  Asking because we have women of all histories and stages of treatment.  Let us know if we can help with any info.

    Who is supposed to post the mystery pic for this week?  

  • elimar
    elimar Member Posts: 5,885

    It is supposed to be Marlegal with the PIC this week.  She was so excited to win last week, I hope she hasn't forgotten. 

    While we wait, I'll post this pic that has no mystery whatsoever!  That swimsuit is either on backwards or was made to be worn by those who had Mx with no recon.  I guess it could be a hot, avante-guarde Euro fashion, for the more modest on the topless beaches? Whatever!  The woman does not seem to be embarassed & is having fun in the sun and surf.  So wild!

                                        

    HOPE YOU ARE ALL HAVING A GREAT HOLIDAY WEEKEND SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Eli - I sure hope it is on backwards - that looks so uncomfortable.

  • Welcome stjude10!

    That woman's bathing suit literally makes me cringe...hehe....

    elimar- I had routine mammo...nothing. I noticed lump on nipple, had second mammo on left breast...nothing. Then had ultrasound on left breast and got the all clear from my Dr. Badgered them about lump on nipple. They sent me to a surgeon for physical exam (just to shut me up) and he said def. biopsy needed. Had I listened to the pathology reports, I wouldn't be on this site,and thinking everything was great. It took the surgeon about 10 seconds to find the mass when he did the ultrasound. He was not happy!

  • Praise God you were persistent stjude10! Your diagnosis looks a lot like mine...I'm assuming you've had surgery?

    stjude10,  They might have said it was nothing, but you knew it was something.  Badgering has it's advantages at times.  I have heard that the area beneath the nipple is hard to image, all the ducts coming together there.  Mine did not show up on a mammo either, but I found the lump myself and it did show up then when they looked with the ultrasound.  Bet they charged you for what they didn't find. 

    I have noticed that about procedures.  If they do something once and it falls short or is unsatisfactory, they don't stand behind their work.  They will do it again, but you will pay for it again.  With that kind of program, where is the motivation to do it right the first time??

    stjude10 - good for you for listening to what your body was telling you and insisting that the MDs listened, too.

    I'm off tomorrow to see the wizard -- as in Chrissy from Australia, as well as some other special gals. Not that you aren't all special. I still can't thank you enough for all your support this week.

    Once I shut down my computer, I'll be out of contact for a few days. I never made it to work to pick up my laptop, so it will probably be Tuesday before I'm back on line again.
