cakes, no-no! We don't say "progress" to Stage IVs. That is too much like progression. None of that talk.
(Not really giving you any crap, cakes.)

Eli, had the exact same thought.

Thanks for the hearty welcome, and the cheetos!!!! There is more info on my profile page if you want details, and as far as questions go, ask away. Right now, the vision in my left eye, where there is a tumor (mets) in back of the retina, is distorted, but only on one half of my visual field. It was worse when it first got dx'd, and it has gotten better with the Taxol. It bothers me when I read books and such, not distance stuff. I often have to close that eye and rely on my right eye, then that gets tired and I get mad! I LOVE reading, and driving, so a big fear is any threat to my eyesight. I have had some regression of pleural mets and of a few hot lymph nodes also, so that is good. The er/pr of one of the nodes they biopsied matched the 2012 episode. Seems fast growing to me, but what do I know? I had a low oncotype, 16, so chemo was not in the cards last year. Or in 2003, for that matter. The oncologist and the tumor board were remarking on how this wasn't acting according to Hoyle. No kidding.

wait, who or what is hoyle?

Kathe, its just an expression, Hoyle wrote a rule book for card games back in the day.
Eph, The brows look really good. How did you find someone who could do that?

i thought of that book, i remember even leafing through a copy, but i guess i am just a little thick today! and didn't get that is was just a reference to not playing by the rules. like robert's rules.

Eyebrow likers, I just looked under "permanent make-up, my city"and several choices popped up. I called 3, interviewed 1 and liked her and her photos, etc. so went with her 2 yrs ago & went back for the retouch. I'm very pleased.

Mame, I got the Hoyle reference as well as the "pony and shit" reference. I heard that pile of pooh reference about 40 years ago and have been looking for that pony ever since!! hehehehehehheee

Hey gals, I've been missing you all. Just read back several pages and have "caught up".
Eph, love the retouched brows!!!!! And the selfie.
barsco, good to see a comment from u. Hope all is well for you on this 1st day of summer!!!
Eli, thanks for the topper! Since we have no more fathers in our little family anymore, I've been a singling it since 2000. (then the dead beat died) it was kinda a ho hum day. My DS did come down and made us watch the Lone Survivor. Not my cup of tea, but a shared experience. He was in the Marines for 4 years. Every time those poor guys got shot again or fell down another part of the mountain I was sobbing and hiding my eyes. My DD was jumping every time there was an explosion. Not a movie for the faint of heart. Then Sunday morn I got a phone call from a unfamiliar number and it was the man that was the best man at my parents wedding. He has got to be in his late 90s now. He just wanted to check up on the family and his DD is a whiz on the computer and found my number for him. My parents have been gone for a number of years now. It was like they were checking on me, too. Warm and fuzzies!!!!!
I have been busy taking care of my DD since her hip surgery. Another 4 weeks to go on the recovery treatment protocol. Then we moved over to my parents old house. It is all one floor so easier, but I am having a hard time feeling settled. It is right on the water and it is summer, so no real complaining going on, but I am exhausted and just can't seem to get enough sleep. Well gotta go get ready for acupuncture. Just wanted to check in.
Hello to all newbies (or second and third timers) and I am not ignoring the BC concerns just not putting in my 2 cents right now. What with the depreciation is only worth a half a cent by now. And with the way my brain is diminishing probably not even that!

Ooooh, mac, is that the view from your yard? If so, thanks for sharing. It looks like a good place to recuperate and I am glad your DD is on the mend.
Haven't heard that expression "according to Hoyle" for quite a while. I do have a paperback of the book though. Got it some years ago (before computer) so I could look up the rules to cribbage. Now I have forgotten them again and will have to read it all again before I try playing again. Now that I think of it, I forgotten rules to most card games. Don't play any often enough. If you don't use it, you lose it.

Sorry…...

No big deal, cakes. You don't have to have a frowny face.

yes e, that is the view from the front yard. I live in paradise. All these years I have been working so hard that some days I barely noticed. Now my life is much slower and I can stop and take pictures of what is passing by.
Anyone here have experience with injections of Fragmin? It is a blood thinner. I have to give one to my daughter every day. ewwww! Nothing like making me the bad guy. I also have to compel her to do her therapy. So much fun.

But one day, mac, you will have her grateful appreciation. Also, can I summer at your place?

mac - a beautiful spot indeed! Someone has to be the "bad guy" huh? Like Eli says, your DD will (if she isn't already) be very grateful that you are there for her. We had just moved to a beautiful country spot just prior to my dx. A move that unknowingly would become one that would definitely aid in my recovery from mx. Still love sitting on the front porch or just wandering the yard.
I have been a lurker of late - checking in on a mostly daily basis. All is good on the bc front - Had ooph about a month ago both as a preventative measure and to be able to stop the zoladex injections. I will not miss those, that's for sure. Today I will be attending my first Roller Derby event (as a spectator not a participant). Should be fun - it is a fundraiser in honour of a fellow metster in the area with proceeds being split between a local oncology department and a youth mental facility.
Hello and welcome to any newbies that have come along. The middies are a wonderful bunch full of spunk, knowledge, support and love.

Lurking, barsco, really? Were you afraid we would all hop into your pocket for that ooph and create a scene? Seriously, glad to hear from you, and I do hope the changes made will only make life all the easier. Roller Derby is a quiet little storm out there and seems to be on the rise in popularity in the past decade. I never went to one. Did have a friend who was the team's yoga guru. She made me brainstorm a "Derby name" for her. Forget what we finally came up with, something like Yoga'na Feelgood.

I like the windmills. Every time I fly into Copenhagen, it makes me happy to see the windmills in the port:

Another installment of "Behind the Header Picture"...
When I was out walking earlier today, I was listening to The Moody Blues (unforgivably slighted by R&RHOF year after year) and in the song, "Dawning Is The Day" are the lyrics, "But still we are free, No one tells the wind which way to blow."(*) Right on, oh bards of 60's orchestral prog. rock. I was inspired to look for a picture to suit that feeling. When I saw the windmills, I thought they were a good anthropomorphic representation of our wimmins on this thread.
Glad you liked it, Mo. (I never even saw the ariel view of Copenhagen before.)
(*) I like that sentiment a lot and almost wanted to put it on my tag line, but then I'd have another thing to change all the time because I am fickle.

Rock & Rock Hall of Fame?

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland, OH)
The hidden camera remark was for 2ta since she posted a candid photo of me on my red couch, watching the game.
(Of course that is way off-base. Here's what a real hidden camera would have seen: When Portugal got the first goal, I went straight into comfort eating of an ice cream sandwich. After U.S. equalized I was up and shouting, doing a little jig that my DH hates so much he covers his eyes.. When U.S. got another to take the lead, I had too much adrenalin in me to even sit back down. When Portugal got a tying goal in the last 20 sec, of the game, I needed a defibrillator and a Valium! So, that popcorn munching Barbie is waaaaay too sedate an image.)
