    Well, I thought it was important, as just last week I PMed a new person advising them not to use their entire real name as their screen name.

    Eli thanks for the link.  I read the thread and then searched myself quiet a few different ways and I never came up so I guess I am pretty safe.

    I am going to have to catch up with all the posts later today, but I did want to share my good news. My pet scan showed no signs of cancer anywhere else in my body. My boob lit up like a Christmas tree though. It will be gone next Wednesday, so it's lights will be put out.

    Dianarose ~ That is very happy news indeed! Hope you have BIG pockets next Wed, we will all be with you!

    Clair ~ Safe travels!

    jlsjls ~ Welcome to this wonderful group of sisters. Please let us know how your appt goes tomorrow with the Onc. As for us here, if you have some questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Maybe we will be able to alleviate some of your fears.  

    Well, my 6-month Onc check-up went well. All Labs were normal - CA 27.29 as well. I will have my Vitamin D level checked next 6-mo check-up in Oct. I told the NP to please put that on my Lab order & she agreed that it was time to check it again.

    I do hate that my life seems to be in 6-month increments............ oh well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.......

    Thanks for filling my pockets!! I hope my rumbling stomach didn't keep anybody awake if you decided to snooze a bit! I was so hungry & of course the NP was running behind schedule, which is rare. Good thing I had my book.

    Dianarose, I am thrilled to hear your good news!  It will get better, promise!  You sure needed this.

    ValJean...YIPPEE for you!  More good news, love it. 

    I have a doctor appointment this afternoon...PCP.  I need to discuss my neck issues but also a very bothersome problem I have.  Long story so I won't go into it now...surgery though is the only possible fix for it.  Grrrrr..........I am hoping to find out more today.  It is a down south issue! 

    Have a fantastic weekend and Happy Easter everyone!

    Valjean,  I confess, I was not really worried about you.  Just knew you'd do great!

    Anyone coloring eggs this afternoon?  Which design should I go with?

    Valjean yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for a good Dr. appt.

    I am getting ready to head to the PS and see if I can get this last drain out.  I know my PS really wants it out but I am kinda borderline on the fluid requirement.  So we shall see.  At least I get to spend the day with a good girlfriend that is taking me and we can go and have a nice lunch.  I have felt much better the last couple of days so I am looking forward to getting out of the house.

    Eli - those are amazing eggs! Although I'm having a hard time telling George and Paul apart. Love that Paul is still performing and all over TV but I miss seeing Ringo. He used to be the guy that loved the screen - remember that movie he was in where he met his lovely wife?

    Personally, I've always preferred the Rolling Stones. There's a new song out called "Moves LIke Jagger" which is so appropriate - that is one active geriatric citizen!

    Dianarose - I haven't "met" you but so glad to hear about your CT scan results! Those things make me nervous every time. Glad it's over and turned out so well!

    Valjean - glad all was well for you, too! I hate the anxiety these tests and visits cause, but the relief afterwards almost makes it worth it.

    I hope everybody has a wonderful weekend! I am trying out a new church Sunday, still haven't found just the right fit for me. 

    Sherry - good luck today with the last drain. And have fun at lunch - sounds like you have a good day coming up!

    Glad everything went well for you Valjean!

    Sherry...I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope you're able to get your last drain out and enjoy your time with your friend!

    Beatles all the way.  I heard a blip on the radio the other day that said there is a possibility that the sons of the 4 Beatles may get together & make a band - Beatles 2nd generation or some such name.

    I am just diagnosed with BC but no idea what kind yet except it is in lymph nodes too...

    I have a lot of neck pain and what feels like hardness on side my tumour is - it is a visible and large benign tumour as well within which there is cancer nodule, plus what they say from MRI are cancer lymph ......and those lymph lumps are getting larger..... it is really scaring me that it is te cancer already spreading as the feelings in neck were there before diagnosis so its not hypochondria!!  Doe anyone else have this and was it jsut stress and strain on the zone as my breast tissue is clearly hard and stretched
