    I cant figure out the third word Translation:

    What are  -  Armenian Seyla?

    Armenia Armenian language is different than the Armenian spoken in Turkey.

    Alphabet is the same. Its being long time i didnt write.

    Turkish is much more easier to write.

    It was supposed to be "Do you speak Armenian, Sheila?"

    Let's stick with Turkish - that I understand even though it has been 23 years since I was there.

    Sheila - Waiting on pins and needles to go back to the surgeon on Tues.  Have had a constant burning sensation in the BC boob for three weeks.  Went last Tues to have a small seroma drained and got some relief from the pressure.  Surgeon sent the fluid out for testing.  The small seroma thing happened about 2 months ago but the burning thing is new.  Now have to go for a CT scan - did not have to do that before.  Getting nervous.  Hope it is nothing but I don't try and second guess BC anymore.  Am I a bit scared - you betcha.  Will keep you posted.

    Jo, sorry to hear about your new problem with the seroma. Glad you are having it looked at with the BS. Keep us up to date. Here's to nerve endings being restored and the reason for the pain!

    jo.....i know how you are feeling and its not easy for us BC survivors because I also relate everything happens in my body to the beast.

    i don't know if I mentioned it before but last year I had this dull pain in my BC breast.

    When I called my oncologist first he wanted to see me then he said you go see your BS.

    BS was going to vacation for 2 weeks. And i was having a melt down.

    I took myself to ER and asked for a ultrasound it was clear.

    What I'm trying to say is our imaginations go places shouldn't go.

    I want you to know I'm here for you and all the sisters.

    Sheila - I had a ultrasound done to clear the seroma - don't know if he saw anything else - he did not say anything but he was quick to say he wanted the CT done.  Don't know what he is looking for and of course I did not think to ask.  Guess I was already started to freak out.  Guess that is going to happen.  

    Thanks to everyone - will keep you posted.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm new here. Had the lumpectomy last week and have appointments with 3 med oncs to figure out treatment options because things are a bit tricky because I have a history of ovarian cancer.

    Although I do feel lucky that this was caught at stage 1 (THANK YOU routine annual mammogram!!!), I'm getting a bit fed up with others feeling the need to remind me. There are so much information to take in and process, so many decisions to be made and the future is full of uncertainty.

    Hugz,

    Welcome, though I do wish you had no need to join our group.  You will find us a loving, caring family. Here you will find others who have been through the same things you have or are going through.  Who will share your pain, your good news and your trials and can offer suggestions to help you through the ordeal.  We vent together, hurt together and laugh together.  Sometimes we do a lot of the latter.

    Again, Welcome.

    Anyone else get stuck in that ridiculous survey?  I couldn't get back here for TWO WHOLE DAYS!!!  Yell

    It's finally letting me in without popping up!

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    Good afternoon!

    oakley - Everyone is having the problem with the survey loop - a thread to the moderators was started to do something about it.

    I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only one who didn't have a problem.  When the survey first showed up I answered it and it came right back. I said no and haven't seen it again. Also have not had any problem getting on.  May be my security system.  I have a popular total protection system--firewall, spam filter, pop up block, anti-virus etc.  If any others had a similar experience, do you also have a protection service?

    Edited to correct spelling.

    My experiece mirrors chabba's -thank goodness; I have Panda security but it works half-assed, but I've had no problem from the survey since I took it Saturday.

    elimar ~ Thank you for the Happy Birthday! I had a wonderful day & was very thankful for another birthday.

    I'm like chabba & Joni, no problem with the survey. It popped up one time, I clicked on "No Thanks" & have not seen it again; have had no problem logging on. I have Norton Security Suite, the complete works, so have great 'puter protection as they do. I usually have to click to allow my computer to even allow a pop-up.

    Hope everyone's day is great!

    That survey blocked me for two days.  I have Norton Anti-Virus and a couple others too.  I will check on that thread complaining about it, but the bad thing is that the people who get totally blocked can't get through to post about it.
