Well MinusTwo that would work too. I was thinking of Anticipation esp. the Carly Simon version. HaHa says better known as the "ketchup" song.

Take you choice on Buttons and Bows. The Bob Hope clip says it won Academy Award for Best Song 1948.

Diana Rose, a negligee with a robe over it....hint of skin showing but "all wrapped up". One item comes off and he'll have to work for the next one. Long......sexy, flowy, silky smooth. Now is NOT the time for cotton!! But, it doesn't have to be the most expensive gown in the store. You must be in a specialty store for this.... What colour do YOU think would work or him? Black is my fail-safe, but perhaps there is another colour that would surprise him. I have a STUNNING set that is gold with black lace and is just the cat's meow!!!! (I kept that one through my donations of my practical breast garbs) I also have a not-too-very sheer, so you're not quite sure if that's what you're really seeing sheer "shirt type" gown that is done in a deep peach. Don't know if you're a brunette or not, but when I tried this one on I turned MYSELF on!!!!!

flowers for some lovely ladies!0 -
Sorry to be so late coming in, but I still say a party is in order for all the (sorry Eli) crap weather most of us have had!!!! So here are my offerings. Diana, first and foremost I second all the suggestions made here by the ladies for the wedding night - do what's comfortable for you, and "sexy" is how you swing it babe - has nothing to do with having the best body around by others' standards.
So...for the party which I decreed! You all know George is my fav, so he has to be here, serving us. And it has to be warm, and a beach has to be involved. And ... oh yes ... our favorite food! And for others who want more....more food and drink
Love you all on this Valentine holiday which frankly I think is the most commercial of all, topping even Christmas. Hub and I boycot it every year! I choose to celebrate our anniversary in style, not a day which Hallmark and the flower/chocolate empire decided for me!

Dianarose...Congratulations!!! Wishing you a wonderful ceremony with lots of wonderful memories.

Maybe Dianarose will come by and TOSS HER BOUQUET in this thread, and it will be lucky for one of the available Middies.
My cyber spirit is at the wedding (and tapping my glass with silverware.) I heard all don't have this custom though.
Cheers to you both, Dianarose!

Cheers!

Here's to Diana!!! Hoping everyone.made it to the ceremony. I was just at a wedding where some of the guests were stuck home because of weather issues.
I just had lunch with a woman I met on these threads. What fun. It was like seeing a long lost friend.
Now we're on our way to visit with my old bil. We haven't seen him for years. My DS died and he remarried too quickly. Now he is divorced and we can be back in contact. He is going through chemo for bladder cancer. He was such a rock for my sister when she needed one.

Raising a glass to Diana Rose and her new spouse!

Well what I thought would be a routine follow up...things are never that easy. When doing the exam the surgeon found something she didn't like on the good side. So off for a mammo and ultrasound on that one on the 28th. She is almost certain it will be a cyst but doesn't want to take any chances. Wondering now if I should have the girls taken off the first time, but all the docs said it wasn't necessary or a good idea. Doc never noticed any of you but I knew you were there, so that helped a bunch! Will be needing another party on the 28th for sure!
Hope everyone had a relaxing, fun weekend, back to the grind here

Congrats to DianaRose, may you have many, many years of happiness together!0 -
One day, getting rid of early-B/C may be just like a day at the spa. Whoa! Is elimar dreaming again? Nope, read and be hopeful...
Ultrasound 'may end breast cancer surgery'
0 -
MimiL55, I hope it will be a clear cut case of a simple cyst. They are very common. I know it can get very un-fun when the cancer stuff keeps coming at you, but once you get a few clear scans, and time passes, the mental burden of cancer, cancer, cancer 24/7 does eventually lift. I'm just saying it usually does get better over time.

heres hoping its nothing, mimi!

MimiL55--it never is
easy, is it?Praying for a B9 finding on
the 28th.Ultrasound may end
breast cancer surgery?I wonder what the
currently unknown long term after effects it will turn out to have.0 -
NM I agree....long term effects. When I was found to have fibroids, the surgeon suggested he "blast" them off with sound waves. I asked him what happened to all the particles in my system. He didn't have a good answer so I went ahead with a traditional hysterectomy. Glad I did as they were MUCH bigger than he'd thought!!!!! There will always be a side effect...the laws of science demand it; cause and effect. It's just up to us to decide if the side effects are worth it. Hair loss on chemo? Okay, I can handle that. Damage my heart and/or lungs with rads? No thanks!!!!

I'm neither for nor against the new US treatment at this point, but it does sound promising, I think. I do like how they have used it on men already, for prostate; and now want to check the application on women. One of these days something good has to pass in clinical trials, by laws of statistics, one would think.
Barbe, I would imagine the cells get reabsorbed, as dead cells would; I don't know that they get blasted "off" anywhere. I don't think they would do a procedure that just broke up a tumor without killing the cells first. Then, again, the core needle biopsy seems to disturb and dislodge tumor cells and they push that procedure on everybody these days, don't they? So you just never know. But this...
"Hair loss on chemo? Okay, I can handle that. Damage my heart and/or lungs with rads? No thanks!!!!"
Yes, but unfortunately hair loss isjust the visible manifestation of damage to cells throughout the entire body. Many kinds of chemo go after the heart muscle and the organs too. The hair grows back, but I kind of doubt that the organs ever quite come back to good as new status. But maybe you meant hair loss is the least of the worries. I have always thought that too (even tho' I never went chemo-bald, so don't know how the morale suffers) yet, strangely, it is the SE that gets a lot of focus from everyone.

Eli, being bald did not impair my morale. If anything it was an amusing distraction.
0 -
I liked my baldness so much I've continued to keep my hair super short, for the most part. Every now & then I get a hair to grow it out some, but I get too frustrated too fast with the "fixing" to keep at it.
0 -
e, you are right as usual!! I picked the "least" invasive side effect to describe the analogy. I didn't do either chemo or rads and my cardiologist bowed his head in appreciation!! Made his job a bit easier with just a pacemaker for me and not a heart transplant or something!!
The surgeon could NOT confirm that the dead cells got reabsorbed. In fact, he said I could get adhesions of them to other organs!! Doesn't every one ask these kinds of questions???? My DH had a tumour on the outside of his kidney that they blasted off. When it's on the outside, it's 80% chance it's cancer. They don't even bother to biopsy it, they just annihilate it with sound waves like they do to kidney stones. His growth was a LOT smaller than my huge fibroids! I'd have a LOT of "space junk" floating around to cause me problems down the road.

I hated my baldness. I was not a pretty bald woman! When I lost the brows and eyelashes, I hated looking in the mirror because I looked sickly. I felt pretty good, so it really brought me down to look so bad! I could rationalize doing chemo by convincing myself that my body and organs were strong and would fight unnecessary evil and come through fine, while any lingering malignant mf'ers would die for sure. Wow...where did that come from?
Mimi, I'm in for the pocket party, just remind me as it gets closer, ok?
Going for dexa tomorrow. Hope it's as positive as my previous ones. The one test/scan that is fast and easy!

Just started browsing this site a few weeks ago and stumbled on this group tonight. Boy, you all seem like really fun ladies! I'm definitely marking this as a favorite topic! BTW does breast cancer come up here or just parties. lol
0 -
Barbe--there always
will be side effects, I just get irritated when a new treatment is first
introduced, it's always touted as the perfect treatment with no down side.I just wish that fact would be acknowledged
up front is all.So my first thought
whenever something new is reported is "what are the side effects?
"Megomendy--yes, bc
comes up occasionally!0 -
Mego, welcome!
0 -
megomendy, welcome! Tell us more about your B/C...I am not understanding all your Dx info. How many surgeries have you had? Did you have to get re-excision for a poor margin, or was one a DCIS surgery and the next for the IDC? Why the wait before starting the radiation? Also, what are those two pink ribbon cakes I see in your avatar? Yummy!
0 -
I had a lumpectomy for DCIS last year in march. Had the 5 day accelerated radiation and thought I got off so easy! Barely even thought about having had breast cancer since I had the "easy one".
Then I found a lump (same breast) right before Thanksgiving and it was IDC. I just had another lumpectomy. Now I will be having chemo starting 3/7 and whole breast radiation. I didnt really have much of a delay for radiation the first time.
When I was diagnosed the first time, my coworkers made me those cakes before my surgery. Yummy! This time around, my sisters (I have 5!) are taking turns sending me a surprise box every week with goodies. I got the first one this week: pink coffee mug, socks, undies, chapstick,jelly beans, etc. My husband laughs that this BC is a good racket for me. So many people are so helpful. It really makes you feel loved!

Mego-welcome, but it sucks that you need to join usMarlegal-good luck with your scan, like you said one test that is easy for us. I hear you about the bald thing. I went ahead and buzzed when my hair really started to come out in clumps and man it took a while to get used to how it looked...but as for getting ready in the morning, piece of cake
. I have started to grow back, very short yet and very gray but oh well....kind of looks like highlights ha ha! At this point glad to have something no matter what color.Have a great day ladies!
