    Pocket parties this week? Scans, tests, results, Tx? Don't want anyone going at it alone. We are all here for you! BTW my second stage of my Diep is scheduled 3 weeks from today. Can't wait to fluff and fill these new babies. My biggest challenge is to keep my weight down between now and then. Darn that Tamoxifen!! And the dark chocolate and the chocolate cake I got for my birthday do not help either. Oh well, the sooner I eat it and it goes away, the sooner I can start loosing the weight. hehehe!!!

     My thoughts EXACTLY.  You must eat all the bad stuff and make it disappear!  That makes perfect sense.

      Eph,Congratualtions on the cruise, how exciting.  I know how difficult the loss of your mom is.  I lost mine 12 years ago and still miss her terribly.  Big hugs hon.

    I had pre-op work Tuesday and forgot to ask for a party, but it went smoothly.  Tons of tests.  I can have a mini one today.  I am getting a precancerous growth removed from my nose.  Sounds like a great time.  Next Wednesday the 29th is my neck surgery.  I am pretty nervous and would love a party then.  Claire, you are in charge!  We all know there are no calories in pocket parties, so feel free to go wild!  :)

    welcome bcbarbie ... you'll be glad you tagged this thread - we're pretty damn fun if I do say so myself!!

    Eli - absolutely a 4-tier next year ... I'll make a 3 1/2 in February if you like :)

    Love the page topper (see/hear/speak no evil triplets) ... I don't think I ever had a waist like that chick on the right - and I was a size 3 for a long time, truly!

    In honor of our impending Friday, which newbies might not know yet is my hands down favorite day of the week (still have to work full time, so no surprise there), and in recognition if his recent anniversary, I offer this pic of one of my favorite performers.

    I am so happy to have found this thread and  have joined such a great group of women.  With kids at college or in the army, the only one left at home is the DH.  So I have found new friends on this thread. It can be a lonely place even with my work with hardly anyone understanding me.  So thanks for the greetings and thanks for the pictures.  What a treat they all are:cupcakes, ice cream, Elvis and even ducks. oh, and all the other pictures too! Thanks again ladies.

    Well middies, it was 7 yrs ago today that I got the phone call. Actually, just about this time of day as a matter of fact. It's been the quickest 7 yrs in my entire life. It's also been the fullest 7 yrs. Not necessary filled with good all the time, but I'm selfishly glad that I'm able to see there's been way more good than bad in the last 7 yrs. Becoming a part of the BCO Community, even to the point of working with them on occasion since they're local to me, has meant more to me than I could ever say. I think most of you understand though.

    Thank you to all the wonderful women I've met in this thread and others, and especially the chat room ... my lifeline when first dx'd. I look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries with all of you, and FOR all of you.

    Much love and hugs.
