Zumbagirl, I don't know where she heard that but I believe some of the Stage IV gals have alreay had more than 4 PETs, so I don't think that's true (I have only had CTs, Bone Scans and MRIs).
Happy belated Val - couldn't get my FB working last night (kept losing the wireless connection) so I couldn't say it on time. Hope it was a good one.0 -
zumbagirl, I am sure they could do an excisional biopsy on the lump, but they are probably wanting to do the PET to make sure that the B/C is only local and has not gone elsewhere in the body. I did not know we were limited to 4 PETs for life. It seems like my mom had more than that.
Valjean, You gave me my surprise for the day. Your picture looks like a 40-something, girl! If you hadn't posted so close to midnight, you could have had your cake (and eaten it too) on the right day, but don't worry...it is still fresh and yummy!
Hope that you and that other self-confessed "ISH" (WaveWhisperer) decide to stick around here.

thanks Reesie, I will let my friend know. She is the only person I know that doesn't have a computer or lap top, so I told her I would ask my buddies on here. That will take one of her worries away :O)

Zumba, if you read the stage 4 threads, you will see women who get PET scans every couple of months! One of the ladies, Konakat, returned to Canada after living in Boston. The docs up here were stunned with how many scans she`d had!!!! A CT or PET every 6 weeks!!!!

Valjean, another happy belated here
And I too loved the story...how nice to have a few of those memories our parents told us - that we can actually still remember!!! I came too late for Eli's cake offering, but since it's Friday night, which for me is always worth celebrating, I made one too. Val gets the first slice, but everyone can have some after that!

Finally got my breast MRI results from Monday and it was all clear just some surgical changes since November surgery but that is to be expected.

OMG, marlegal!!!! What a cake! Hilarious! I wrote that down as I am SURE I won't remember that. Too funny! (and it's my secret if that hasn't already happened to me!)
And Barbe, I just about spit water all over my keyboard when I read your comment about my Mom popping out babies!! I was always surprised she only had two. (but while we were stationed on Guam when I was 3-5 yrs, my Dad, on a trip over to Japan, had the "you-know-what" done!!) Yeah, my brother & I were born in the same year: me, January 19 & him Dec 18. I remember a teacher once telling me that we were twins because we were only born weeks apart. DUH! How about 11 months apart!!! And she thought she knew everything, ha-ha, I had one on her!!
On the serious side, neither my brother nor I have ever been close to my Father & you may have a point there when you say how can a Father ever bond with his children when he is gone when they are so young. At least for us, we never did. And with him being a very strict Navy man, well, let's just say we towed the line & let it go at that. Thank you, dear sisters, for the wonderful birthday wishes. I had plans to go to lunch & shopping with a dear friend on my "day", but the MI winter weather did not cooperate so we postponed it & talked on the phone for well over an hour instead. I love, love, love Lemon bars so made myself some with a cheesecake bottom - well, I tried, to make myself some. They came out like crap!! I thought I was going to get the whole 8" x 8" pan of them all to myself as DH does not like lemon, but....... somehow, I messed it up.
But, then I came here & what did I see?? A fabulous cake from E!! (hey, that rhymes~!) Thank you sooooo much - it was absolutely yummy & I didn't gain a single pound!!! And, just because I'm in the "ISH" now, I will still be here with all you middies - ain't nobody puttin' Baby in the corner !!!!!!!
Love you guys!
And, on a serious note ~ Welcome to the new sisters! This is a wonderful group of sisters, we are here for you for any reason, day or night.

Sherry ~ wonderful news! I am very happy for you!0

Valjean....so glad you enjoyed the love shown here, as well as the laughs. I understand about the no dad thing. Mine is alive but we rarely speak either. There are reasons....
Sherry, you deserved a break and I am so so happy you got it with a clear MRI. It is about time you got some good news for a change. I hope you feel better every day.
Marlegal...what can I say? That is a perfect cake. Loved it!

My Dad travelled a lot on business until we finally moved to where he was travelling to (Vancouver to Toronto). He tried to get us to call him `sir` and at the dinner table it was: `Children are to be seen and not heard.`` Then he was surprised that we didn`t `like`` him when we got older! Doi!!!

Went to acupunture today and then got my oil changed and tires rotated and found a bathing suit. Yes they are already out in the stores in Texas. You have to buy them early or they are all picked over. Since I have lost so much weight I decided to try a bikini again. DH will be suprised. Have not let my belly show in 10 years.

whose turn for mystery pic? we had a snow day here
first snowfall of this year (had snow on halloween weekend, but that doesn't count!) only a couple inches, but then it was icy rain for a long time, so neither of us went anywhere. I finally got Christmas decorations totally put away ... except my tree that I keep up with just the lights on for a little longer. what can I say? I get a kick out of it so in between hub shovelling and my organizing, we'd eat/drink, then get back to work, then eat/drink some more...you get the picture!hope you all had a day where you did what you wanted, or at least liked what you did.
