dlock, welcome to the group. I used ice to help with the pain. I had the lump/sentinel node on a Thursday and because I didn't have much sick time, I went back to work on Monday. I watched what I lifted (not using the BC side). and rested during lunch. Literally fell asleep! One thing I didn't do and now understand is the gentle stretching once the stitches are healed. Check with your BS to see if there is a therapist you could go to for this.
Happy long weekend everyone!
Granny are you back home yet????

No im not home yet.....tomorrow morning.......still counting down.......along with todays mixed emotions...as much as i wanna get home i know im gonna worry about my GD and those kids.i am lookin forward to the quiet tho....0

Dlock, take it easy ...........I had a drain, so it was a little rough with that thing...just remember this...........if you have the help, take it, don't try to play hero......................once everyone thinks you can do it all yourself....................you will be doing it all yourself.................I honestly believe that is why "cancer" is made out to be "no big deal"....................its the people who are offered the help, try to do it alone (to prove what, I have no idea)......and then the help leaves, and doesn't return.
Just accept whatever your offered........you will be on your own soon enough.......hugs......you will get through it..........

Meece~ Wishing you many, many more years.
So I haven't checked in, in forever but I hate this time of year. I have an oncologist appointment on Wednesday and this time of year always reminds me of when I was diagnosed. It's horrible!! I hate it..

I'm getting things around to head north for a few days to celebrate our family Christmas with DD#2 & grandchildren. I leave Thursday & will be back Dec 6. I'll miss everyone, but I know it will 'do' my head good to only have visions of sugar-plums dancing in it along with toys, baking & lots of playing.
I'll check in tomorrow night.

I hope you have a wonderful trip, Valjean. Playtime is wonderful to clear your head.

I'm having a lumpectomy and SNB on the 12th of December, so hopefully I will be much better before Xmas rolls around. Trying to get as much done, tree and other decorations as well as shopping before, so I will be able to take it easy.
I'm going to give in and let other family members do the party planning this year. If we get together, fine, if we don't, so be it.
Had to fight yesterday to get my app't with my PCP for my pre op prior to surgery. They just didn't want to give me an app't so I had to turn into a royal bitch and pull out the big "C" card (which of course was all being recorded for quality control) and then they managed to fit me in! Why does it have to be that way? It took three calls, talking to three different people, and finally a hissy fit before I had success. More stress from this than finding out about the bc!
Only ten more days and this thing will be out of me...then I find out if I need radiation or not. I found studies that said women over 70 don't benefit from radiation, but my BS says not so fast. I go tomorrow morning for a meeting with my entire medical team where I will have a chance to ask additional questions. It's a great program, so I'm looking forward to that.
I'm new to this ladies, so any advice would be welcome! Have a great day.

Hello Ladies and a much belated Thanksgiving to all of you! Hope you all had a wonderful time...
Meece congrats to you on 8 yr cancerversary and may you have many, many more
I spent the holidays sick with a migraine and on the sofa and in the bed for 3 days then my stomach virus came roaring back with a vengenace. I just can't seem to kick this stomach bug. I've taken pepto and I even have prescription Lomotil. It's truly been one of the worst I've ever had.
Monday I went to see the breast surgeon for my yearly follow up and of course everything is good. I also had my yearly mammogram done, he looked at it and said it looked o.k. however without last years mammo to compare he couldn't be a 100% so we wait on the Radiologist to read them. I guess I'll get the results next week. They usually mail me a letter.
Val have fun with the grandkids and your DD celebrating Christmas. I'm not ready yet I haven't put up our tree yet.

Mimi sorry you're still having trouble with the stomach virus... and congrads on the mamo. I haven't put my Christmas tree up yet either. Will use the same old one that has to have lights put on it. Just can't break down and buy a new one that's already pre-lit. Maybe if they had a huge sale!

Meece - Congrats on the cancerversary!!! May you have many more to celebrate!
Kaara - Sorry it took so much stress to get the pre-op visit.. How crappy but glad you didn't back down. Wishing you the best of luck with your surgery.
Valjean - Enjoy your time away with the family and safe travels.
Mimi - I hope you feel better soon and congrats on the good mammy...
No tree up in our house either yet. Maybe next week.....
Hope everyone has a great week.

Meece, oooh, I missed your "cancerversary." One day at a time, one year at a time and look how they add up. Congrats!
Mimi, Two years out and a clear mammo, congrats to you too.
I pulled my Xmas tree out of the closet, but my stubborn side does not want to put it up until I flip the calendar over to December. Really liking the non-gift, family orientation of Thankgiving more in recent years. I seriously hate to see Thanksgiving lose ground to what has become the ultimate consumer holiday. (But that does not mean I am not sitting here munching a few mint, holiday edition M&Ms right now. ;-)

Elimar, I am with you on the Thanksgiving as favorite holiday. This year was very stressful for me as one daughter refused to come because the hosting daughter invited her ex - the father of their children - to Tgiving. It's over now, but I cried buckets. I don't know what will happen for Christmas. I am learning to call my own shots, get my visits in, and let them work it out.
So, my big "shot" is that I am taking 9 of us to Radio City Music Hall on Saturday - 3 daughters from DC, NJ, and CT plus 5 of 7 grandkids. I am hoping it goes well -- I really need some Christmas Joy.
One thing for sure, BC does not have any regard for persons or holidays. But we can uphold and encourage one another and I am very grateful for the honesty and gentle spirit of each of you.
Hugs as we turn the calendar.

Hi to all my sisters....I was MIA for few days.....I read all the posts every day.
Today is a better day.....
Joan...I laughed about when I read the father of their children quote. and i know it's not funny.
I call my ex the father of my children too. I try real hard not let him get to me with his stupid ideas etc..... It was long time ago.

Go enjoy the show and we are here if you need to rant

Hello again my sisters. Been MIA for awhile, very busy this time of year with holidays and kids programs and parties.
Have read all the posts and want to say congrats to everyone for doing so well, and to hang in there for those having a harder time. I'm doing well, awaiting surgery in Jan for TE replacement and getting everything ready for x-mas.
I'm ashamed to admit it, but X-mas pasts have always just been a huge stressor for me (mostly my own doing), but I got to thinking. Last year I barely got a tree us because I was in the middle of moving and I thought "what if that had been my last x-mas with my boys-it just wasn't a good enough memory for me". Anyway I've kinda gone overboard with it this year, hell if something sits still long enough I'm going to decorate it. Not stressed at all about the holidays, looking forward to it-funny how BC can give that perspective isn't it?
Happy belated Thanksgiving-I know I was really thanful this year for all I have.
