    Hi everyone, I am so far behind with reading this post. I worked 9 hours today and I am feeling it. To top it off on the way to work I went to stop and no brakes. My heart was beating a million beats a minute. I guess it's a good thing it's a standard and I could down shift. Sometimes I think that truck is going to get me before the cancer does.

    Welcome Lily- I love your name and sorry you have to join us.

    Sherry- I am so happy for you !!! I just keep thinking in 2 weeks I will be saying the same thing you are.

    Elimar- I love the dancing bunny

    Valjean- happy everything went well for you.

    Thanks to all of you for all of your support. It helps me to stay positive.

    Congratulations Sherry!  I know what a relief that must be.  I have two of those surgical bras and have to wear them pretty much full time with the Truncal LE.  Not very flattering!  I did get two almost regular bras.  My BC breast is larger than my good breast so I had to get a little prostetic hickey to slide into the good breast and make mine equal.  Who could ever have guessed the breast they did surgery on would end up larger than the good breast?  I tried wearing the new bra all day and it does not provide enough compression.  I can only wear the pretty ones for short periods.  I got too sore.

    I am having an MRI tomorrow morning on my neck.  I had no idea the place was open Saturday!  Hoping by next week I will know what the problem is and we can proceed with further treatment!

    Valjean & Diana - Congrats on the good results!!! Happy dancing for you.

    Sherry - Glad that you were able to get that last drain out. Hope you had a great time at lunch too.

    I always liked a lot of the Beatles songs, but there was something about Mick Jagger dancing & strutting around on stage.....

    Hot flash!!

    Maybe I should say, "Jumpin' Jack Flash!"

    Congrats to Sherry for getting that 2nd drain out!

    Welcome to the newest gals.

    Somebody say biscuits?? I already have my coffee here, so I'm ready! (Diving in pocket and scrambling for biskies...)

    Welcome Lily!! Good luck with your appointments. It's a lot to absorb all at once, but ask LOTS of questions!! 

    Yay  Sherry!! I know you're feeling better now!

    Happy Easter! Tennis tourny with daughter today. She may be 13 but she still wants to color eggs, so that is the after tourny project.

    I jumped into the posket and landed in the gravy boat.  Sorry.

    lisamarie68,  It's always kind of a shock to learn what emotions family members have building up inside, but it is good to get them out and hopefully move on to a more peaceful future.  It's hard.

    You think you've got problems, last night (OMG!) my hubby was at a PEEPS SHOW!

    STOP with the bisquits! You are going to make me go bake some. I love, love, love bisquits. I was in some horrid mall recently and discovered that KFC has opened in Greece. But they didn't have any bisquits. What is the point of KFC wihtout bisquits, I ask you?

    Hello ladies. Just wanted to post because I am very excited that I got to meet Jo today. We had lunch on South Padre Island. It was so nice of her to drive all this way. We could have chatted all afternoon, but I had to get back to work. Thanks Jo for coming over the bridge to see me.



    I hope that you all have a spectacular Easter.

    Love the peep show Sealed

    Thanks for the chocolate cupcake my favorite.. I'll share with anyone that wants a bite..

     Been a day of lots of thoughts.. This past year has been so full of ups and downs.. Cried a lot, laughed a lot, puked a lot,ate food with no taste (buds), was upset to loose my hair, was exited to see new hair growth, learned to apply makeup to look like brow and lashes, brows and lashes coming back, lost a boob,  will soon get a foob.. most of all I have learned to appreciate life and not take it for granted.. Don't sweat the small stuff.. Have a wonderful easter weekend

    nfranlin I know that with some cancers they do chemo and radiation together but not really sure about BC.

    Ossa what a year you have had!!!

    Had a great day today.  One of my bothers and family came to town to visit and I went to the grocery store with DH help.l  Then this evenings sat outside and had a beer and felt normal for a change.  I have not had anything to drink in over a month.

    HeartandSoul--Ringo Starr is touring this year as is Jethro Tull. I hope to hear him perform and get his autograph. I believe he is playing at the NJPAC in October. Re Ringo, do you remember that he was "Mr. Conductor" on the Thomas the Tank Engine Series after George Carlin. I give Ringo for pursuing a gig that his children or grandchildren loved. My son is 21 now but every now and then he gets the wooden track our with younger second cousins. I can't believe the last first cousin will be graduating from HS this June. My youngest sister final gets how important these milestones are. One more year of paying for college for my son--computer science at Rochester Institute of Tech. My children are the highlights of my life. Best wishes everyone for a happy holiday!
