Eph, so glad you had a good time. Hope that smoke clears out sooner than later.
My girls were together today and even though I wasn't with them, it warms my heart to see the pics on FB of them, their hubs, and their babies. Nothing makes me happier than to see my girls as friends.
Oh Diana..please check in and let us know you're ok. Hoping wonder son made you relax this weekend.
And yes...how the hell are we at mid-August already???0 -
Luvmygoats--remember, the docs work FOR YOU. You don't need to explain anything if you don't want to, just ask to switch to the other doc.
Dianarose--hope all is going well!

Hope everyone is doing ok!

Good afternoon everyone! I am finally returning to work next week. They insist that I do a 6 week gradual return and I am ok with that except I don't go on the regular payroll until I have completed the G.R.
I have been off work for over a year due to the many surgeries and treatments and I have yet to start recon. I am hoping that I am able to get back into the swing of things sooner than later. Many changes have happened this past year and I hope that I fit back into my old position.
Somehow just writing down (or typing) my concerns helps, glad I have such a wonderful group of people that I can share this with. Cheers!

Hello, jcolford, and welcome! If you were in halfway decent shape before surgery/treatment, now that you are about a year out you should find your energy levels returning to normal. Even tho' you probably could work full days, it doesn't hurt to ease back into it and let your body transition more easily to your former workload. Good Luck. Let us know when it is time for recon...several here have done that.
I don't worry about that too much, barsco, I think most are just in a time of no major drama. I would like to hear from Dianarose tho'.

JC, welcome! It must feel a little scary to be going back after being away so long. Go easy on yourself, I bet it is like riding a bike. You may tumble a few times, but then you will remember the moves.

Here's to "NO MAJOR DRAMA".

Dianarose, we miss hearing from you.........0 -
I have some news about the "Bad Cancer Doctor" he is still in jail, and he has to come up with 9 MILLION DOLLARS for bail to get out. May he rot in Hell.....

Barsco, I confess that I did stop in the last couple days but didn't leave a new comment.
Welcome JC. I join in hoping that you take your time easing back into work and that the transition goes well for you.
Getting antsy wondering where DR is hiding!0 -
Loral - I think he was on our news yesterday but I also watch Fox News so might have been on there. One nurse said she had reported him I think 2 years ago. Absolutely he needs a special place in hell reserved for him.
I just caught the new page topper. I like Miss 2nd from the right. Taller than anyone else - my dream.
Come out come out where ever you are Dianarose. Hope your absence means you are happily busy pushing those pastries.

Thankyou for the welcome Elimar and Momine I have been lurking on this site for the past year, I comment once in a while on a number of different threads but I mostly read.
Although it was a year since diagnosis I finished treatment in January and am now 8 weeks past having a hysterectomy so I am still a bit wobbly after 3 separate surgeries and chemo. However I am looking forward to moving beyond cancer (fingers crossed) although I am now starting all of the tests all over again and cannot help but have scanxiety.

Hello,
I have been a member on BCO for a while, but just came across this forum a few days ago, and I have to admit I have been lurking. I am usually over at the DIEP 2013 forum, and have learned so much from those wonder strong ladies.
I am kind of in limbo right now. I had my bmx April 1, 2013 with immediate recon with expanders. Almost immediately I was told that because of the placement of my tumors, and the way they had to remove skin and tissue I wasn't left with much to expand. There were some healing issues, and I started to plan for a diep. Around that time they were amazed that my skin was healing so well, and started my expansions to improve the end result of my diep, but when I had the CAT of my abdomen for my surgery two lesions were found on my liver. That's why I say I am in limbo. I am waiting for results of yet another CAT scan with two different kinds of contrast used, which I had yesterday. I get results tomorrow.
I was so glad to come across a forum of women my age (58) that seemed to be having a good time, but still being very supportive of each other. So, I decided to jump in and introduce myself.

Sorry I mentioned the lack of posts. Not that I am against welcoming anyone else, just hate the reason that more women need to come here.
Welcome jc and goldie - lots of wonderful women to support, encourage and share experiences with. We laugh, we cry, we yell, we vent, we dance. Often all in the same day.
jc - best of luck with your return to work. It is a bit of a challenge getting back into the swing of things, but if your RTW plan isn't too aggressive you should do ok. Just remember that you are in the driver's seat.
goldie - that limbo dance is not one of the ones that we enjoy doing. Know that we are here for you and with you holding your hand and hoping for good results from your scan - keep us posted.

I, for one, enjoy a good limbo damce now and then, but being in limbo over tests is not a good place to be.
Hang in there goldie4040! Welcome to this thread. If it is found that you only have the two spots on the liver, are they condifering a surgery to get rid of them?

Hi, Goldie! I admit I mostly lurk here but you're right, these ladies are very funny and supportive, too.
By the way, I last heard from DianaRose on the 8th. She sounded good, just tired. I hope we hear from her again soon!0 -
I also am mostly a lurker but usually check in a few times a week!

previous page I posted Gatsby (Leo Di Caprio) with a tray of drinks for us to toast with, but I don't see it now. Dangnabit!

I know I couldn't limbo dance for squat. I've got to go give Miss Itchy otherwise known as Terra the rat terrier her weekly bath. That's as much as I can limbo. Does that count??
Oww - Eph - Leonardo is missing. Maybe he came home with me and that's why no picture there. Hummm - verrry interesting.

Welcome lurkers! Hope all waiting for test results get good news, and get it quickly.
Love the page topper. My favorite cousin and her hub are joining us at the shore this weekend. We have such a good time with them, and Diane and I share tons of beach memories from when we were growing up, so the pic was very timely. It actually looks like our moms and their other two sisters! They always had such a good together, and Diane andI have nothing but good memories of them, which we tend to discuss many times during our annual weekend together! Our hubs, bless them, just have their side conversations and let us go on and on. Aaaahhhh...good to have family who are also friends

Future Shock? When the day comes, (and it will!,) that you end up getting a scan from your "canine oncologist," don't say I didn't give you a heads up:

Too bad the name PET scan is already taken, eh?

Why right here you see a "canine technician" performing a CAT scan, and that was only after the LAB report came back.

This young lady is being screened for uterine and ovarian cancer, obviously.

Hi Ladies, gonna be brief as I need to lay down, I had my first A/C and cytoxin today, doing pretty good a little headache and heartburn so I took some Tylenol and nexium and had a little nausea a bit ago and took the med and it helped😄
Shary🌞 P.S I hope everyone is doing well.0 -
Hope you are recovering from your chemo well, GG.
I get to have a MRI and a mammo in the morning. Wheeeeeee! NOT!! I hate getting IVs and really stress out about it. If you want to have a reason for a posket party, something to take my mind off the impending needle sticks. Last time it took 4 techs and 7 tries to get a vein. I was ready to leave.

Oh, I am the one third from the left. Still trying to find the perfect swimsuit that will hide my thunder thighs.

Jcolford--you'll do just fine, I am sure! It is nervous making heading back to work. Give yourself a little time to readjust and you will be right back where you were before, I'm sure.
Loral--serves him right!
Goldie4040--welcome, and here's praying for good results. Limbo land is NOT fun.
