    Renee ~ I just know you will have a sunny, beautiful vacation. I say so!! You really deserve it, you work so darn hard at your job.

    Some day I'm going to get to FL ~ I would love to see the state I was born in; city of Jacksonville, to be specific.

    One of these days........

    Have a wonderful time, dear sister/friend. ♥

    MIMI - Keeping fingers crossed for a sunny vacation.  That little system is going to stay away from you so go and enjoy.

    Annette - I will keep you updated on the plans for the Texas get together.  Sagina lives in SA and will find us a place to meet.  I will be driving up on Friday and have to come home on Sunday.

    Mimi...it looks like Tropical Storm Emily is heading farther east and won't hit the panhandle so maybe the prayers are working...

    Seyla888....................being a very good girl........................I have taken pill #4, and I have not grown a wart on my nose, and no limbs have fallen off.....................I feel fine, and heard something good from one of the ladies........................she told me that her MO told her............women who have gone through menopause, without having "hot flashes", and other symptoms sometimes have less problems with SE's of Femara..........................also I have begun drinking Tart Red Cherry Juice...............got it from Trader Joe's...................drank a quart in 4 days.................my usual aches and pains have eased up some..........I am shocked, might or not work for AI SE's if I get them, but who knows.  I'm gonna keep on drinking it..

    so yes, I am being a very good girl..................thanks for asking...........your a good friend.................hugs.

    Shelia.........................thanks, oh my what a wonderful surprise when i came on today...........I just got home from my daughter's house..........I take care of her 12 and 10 year old children while she works 3 days a week......................

    I needed that happy thought, cause today has been a shitty day ................nothing to do with cancer...............just a bunch of shit that just makes life a little more difficult...............problems with my pool at the shore.......................siding popped off the back of my house (8 months old)................some ugly looking shit coming out of my kitchen faucet (koehler is replacing the entire unit)...............................just small shit, but when yo live alone and have to depend on others for help, it is awful...................Oh well, I'm sure there are a lot of others worse off........................guess I better find those "big girl panties"...............that or the vodka................................hugs, and thanks ;again dear friend.

    Seyla....................here, just reading quietly...............wishing I was going to the shore this weekend, but no one is going, so I'm stuck home...............They are saying possible showers Saturday and Sunday, so if it does rain I won't feel so bad that I didn't get there..............Not much time left........................hardly down at all this summer.................daughter with an ailing dog, who can't go, and another daughter who has a dog and no one to watch him, and she won't take him anymore, cause I have new rugs...............Stuck in this friggin town again.................could go myself, but what is the point............drive 100 miles to sit on my ass down there, or sit on my ass here, and save the gas.

    Still friggin tired from Rads, and i'm 7 weeks out..............wonder if its ever going to go away..............oh well,,,,,,,,,,,,it is what it is................drinking my Tart Red Cherry juice, and my aches are a little better.............unless SE's kick in, and I'm hoping they don't...............you have a good night Sey, and will return later.............hugs.

    Cakeisgreat - Congrats on the great news!!! No nodule... YIPPEEE!!!!!

    ducky so glad everything is going well with the medicaiton.  I am doing amazingly well on my Arimidex so far Undecided  three months and still counting...  as for the cherry juice I don't know about it but I do know that grandpa has Gouty arthritis and he eats cheeries every day for that so I am sure the cherry juice would work the same way for the joint inflamation. 

    Hey Jo, Meece, Val and Sheila and all the others I have missed!  Hope you all have a great week. I am leaving tomorrow and headed to the gulf in Panama City Beach, Florida for my big old vacation.  LOL!! seriously can't wait.  We are going to do something else next month for our 23rd anniversary, it's Sept. 28th.  Hard to believe I've been married that long.  Wink 

    Then the doctor appts will start back again in Oct.  Getting a little reprieve right now.  Well better get off here.  Washing and packing to do.  I am a procrastinator when it comes to packing... I hate it so much! yuck!!!!

    Sheila.......................great so far...............just hoping it continues.............I did call Aetna and asked them for a "warehouse price" of Femara and not the generic...............I know some people who got the $10.00 30 day supply from the Manufacturer, and had minimal problems with SE's had some, and some bad ones on the generic.............I asked what it would cost (difference in price) if I do the Brand................It is $90.00 for a 3 month supply of the Brand..............and $60.00 for the generic................I think I will stay with the Brand as long  as I am doing well on it..............Not worth changing...............like my husband used to say.................if it works, why change...........money isn't an object for me...............I'll cut out somewhere else in my life....................so so far, so good..............thanks for asking
