    Sheila - As long as you are happy with your decision that is all that matters.  We are all here to support you no matter what.

    Yes Sheila, jo1955 speaks with wisdom!  Besides-you'd miss AI in Turkey most likely-they are probably just now seeing season 7!

    Sheila - Takes me back to the wonderful bakeries in Izmir.  I had a favorite one I used to go to and they would have a small box of six pieces ready for me every Friday. I did not even have to order it. I was so spoiled.

    Yes - But is was soo good.  I am not really a bread eater, but what I wouldn't do for a fresh hot loaf of EKMEK.  It made good french toast, and we used to cut it in half lenghtwise and make pizza out of it.  Found lots of ways to eat it.

    I am with Rae, whoa 6 pages to catch up on!  You ladies like to chat!!! Wink  Sheila I am so happy that you made the right decision for you.  Only you know what makes you hesitant about going back to Turkey.  Sheila I send prayers for your Aunt and your family.  May she have peace and mercy and no pain from our heavenly father.

    Jo - I had something show up just before Christmas on a chest x-ray and my radiation onco ordered a chest CT and I had the dye and scan.  Luckily I didn't have to wait but about 36 hrs since I was scheduled for surgery in a few days.  Without all the ladies here on the board I would have been a basket case.  I hate that you are having to wait.  I am praying for you and holding your hand for B9 results along with all the other ladies here.

    Val- I can't believe I keep missing you and Michelle.  One of these days I'll catch up with you both.

    Mimi - The waiting is the worst that and I want the pain to go away.  It has be 26 days now.  Thanks for the prayers.  I do have work and my quilting to distract me this week.  Will make myself keep busy until Friday.

    deborye - The pic is so cute and sends a great message.  Amen!

    After introducing myself I dropped off the planet for a few days, we started a bathroom reno! :)  Nothing like ripping & tearing out tile & drywall to take your mind off things.

    Sheila, sorry that you had to make such a difficult decision.

    cheers, Dee

    Just returned from a celebratory supper with my sweetie.  We celebrated an anniversary on Friday and my birthday tomorrow. It was soooo nice to be dressed up, out and enjoy a nice meal and some wine and not think about appointments or cancer or rads, or boo boos.  There really is a great life after all of this!

    take good care and just breathe. . .

    Kymn - Welcome to a very supportive group of ladies - so sorry you have to be here with us but it is a great place to hang out.

    I know the waiting sucks - that seems to be the worst part.  I can relate to what you are saying - I, too am waiting for some test results to come back on Friday.

     Visit with us often.
