    Sheila... NO I haven't heard anything.  I checked their website and it said as of yesterday they were reviewing the applications.  All I know is they told me they would be calling this week to schedule a 2nd interview.  I don't think they would have said that if they didn't mean it.  So I am waiting patiently but I must say it is very hard to do.  Keep praying because it is so hard to wait.  I need this so bad.  Don't know how much longer we can go with just my hubs paycheck.

      Love ya sisters!!

    Praying for you mimi!

    Went to eye doctor today and found out I have wet MD in left eye, so will have to start with eye injections every month...Lucentis they call the drug.  Not looking forward to that, but don't have much choice if I want to preserve what vision is left in that eye.  He said I might get some improvement, but I would just be happy if it stopped the progression.  Now I'll have to be concerned about the SE's from this drug as well as the tamox!

    Sheila888,grew up in Ewa Beach but have not been "home" for a long time. My Dad was the flight surgeon stationed in Hawaii when I was a kid and the Vietnam War was going on. Sure would love it if we all could go there sometime. I would love to go back. Was thinking of taking my fiance and showing him around but his mom was from Mexico so I am worried the locals will just keep him if I take him to Oahu. LOL.

    Good luck Mimi,those folks dont have a clue what they are getting. You are one strong lady after all you have been thru cuz I am getting a taste of the beast bc myself and now for the treatments.

    I don't know what to say, but that I'm here.

    Needed to take some time off though I don't know yet if it did me any good...

    I have missed everyone, that much I can say.

    I want to give my warmest "hello" to everyone who has joined us here since my sabbatical. I am sorry I was not here to greet you when you first stepped into this world, into this wonderful group of ladies that have the warmest hearts.

    I will try to get caught up on all the threads I am behind on, but I want to let you know, ducky, that I will be "with you" when you have your mammo tomorrow.

    Renee ~ I continue to say prayers for you & am keeping good thoughts for your second job interview. (hugs)

    Ducky:  That's wonderful news!  It's what we all want to hear.  Congratulations...go celebrate!

    I had a bad app't with my new MO today...actually I never got to see her.  I was kept waiting for an hour and a half and nobody would tell me what was going on other than she is backed up.  Finally I had enough and told the receptionist that she would have more time now because she wasn't going to have me as a patient and walked out.  I waited a month for that appointment but everything happens for a reason.  I don't want to be just a number on an assembly line.  I'll go back to my other MO who might not have the best bedside manner, but at least he called me personally a couple of times to talk to me.  I wasted almost three hours traveling to and from and waiting for nothing!  Right now I have steam coming out of my ears, so thanks for listening to my rant!

    Kaara - I don't blame you. I would have been furious. There's no reason you couldn't have been given some sort of explanation. I've had a doctor keep me waiting, but explaining that an emergency came in a while ago, and I was fine with it. You're definitely entitled to rant.

    Wren:  Absolutely...I remember when my BS got tied up in surgery.  His nurse came out and said he was running about an hour late, so I could go have lunch and come back if I wanted to.  I took her up on the offer.  She called me when he was back in the office.  Now that's good patient care.

    Kaara................WOW, my kind of handling of a bad situation, only you were a lady..........unlike me, who would not have been able to control my temper.................Just who in the hell do they think they are................just make sure they don't bill your insurance for the visit, especially if they took your card,, and ran your numbers..................

    Also remember your co-pay..........if you gave it get it back, and if not make sure you don't get a bill and pay it along with all the others we get..........it could happen.

    Good for you, for taking a stand.................

    Ducky I'm so glad that your mammo was all clear and come back next year!!! "Happy Dance"

    Well Ladies I know so many of you have been in prayer for me over my job interview, etc... I received a letter in the mail today and they have decided to go with someone else.  I didn't get the job.  To say the least I am so disappointed... I could cry.  Our finances are so strapped and we were really counting on me getting this job.  I guess God just has other plans for me.  There has to be another job or another place he wants me, but I'm sure I don't know where it's at.  I am at a total loss at this point.  I've got to have a job and don't know how much longer I can go without one.  This is killing me and my husband.  He is so disgusted.  When I told him what the letter said I saw the bottom fall out of his face and heart.  Well thanks for letting me go on with everything and vent a little.  Right now my heart is broken and I am trying to stay strong because if I don't I will fall completely apart.
