Ladies its 2.09am and I am wide awake and have been for hours. God knows what amount of Dexamethazone is in that infusion bag but it aint doing anything for me. My old fellar is in there snoring his head off, lucky sod.
Fighter - yes change of subject is nice. What is your holiday weekend for, ours is just a normal weekend. A day at the beach sounds wonderful. The water here would be too cold at the moment as its winter but if I'm awake long enough it will soon be summer!!. I'm so glad you said what SOL stands for as I have a bit of a problem trying to decipher some of the abbreviations. Enjoy your time and relaxation at the beach then you will come home nice and refreshed. Ahh just read Heathers post is it Memorial Weekend?.
Titan - you really crack me up. Just don't press your finger down twice.
Heather - thats a bugger that they put the job on hold but something better will come up for you. One of the ladies in my chemo class does zumba. She is really into it and is so energetic that she dislodged her port and had to have it taken out cause it wouldn't work. Glad you are reconnecting with your friends. Your hubby will be fine once he gets to you.
Well I might just toddle off to see if I can get some sleep. Night ladies.

Teka, what's a michagin? Is it the name of the stand or a special kind of hot dog. I've been craving a chili dog with cheese lately and I've never even had one!

Annie, thanks much for the chuckle! That was funny, lawyer, eh!!! I hope you did finally sleep. I hope no heartburn today, and I know the second and third days are the hardest, aren't they? Don't worry about me, I am not stressed, but I do want to relay to people not to be quiet, because we could be the change for our younger generation. I believe that when something very wrong is going on, we all can unite and make changes. I hope for a better world for my children and grandchildren. You made me sound beautiful, so thank you, every little compliment help.
Painting - Yeah! Good news! All is well! Happy dance with my big hips!!!!!!! ha! ha! ha!
Heather - I wish you the best on a great job. and a Picnic this weekend sounds fabulous! I will try to make time for the beach this weekend. Weather here is gorgeous! A little bit of breeze and very tolerable heat. Love love love it.
Everyone - have a great Wednesday!

I had such good news with my mammo. Thank you for sharing in my joy and relief. One year feels great. By the way a tomographic mammogram is like a PET scan. So I essentially get a Pet scan of my breasts and 6 months later an MRI of my breasts.So 2 intense looks in one year.
0 -
Not used to this format either.
Painting - congrats on the mammo, and I would love to have the (2) looks. I only get a yearly regular mammo.
I know this is off topic ladies, but let me just share that job hunting sucks!!! How come all these potential employers don't see how awesome I am? LOL.

Ohio Hot Dogs are much better than Michigan hot dogs.

Aww, Heather....You should have put us cyber gals on your reference sheet. We would make it clear that you are AWESOME!!!! Especially if we had our big ole cancer kickin boots on!!!!
So let me get the hot dog thing right. Teka are you having Michigan hot dogs while in New York?? I love a good hotdog no matter what state I'm in. Dang, now I am hungry for a hotdog
I spoke to Navyson today. He will be deployed to Okinawa, Japan come November. He will be there for 6 to 12 months. (Boo-Hoo).
On that note, with this being the Memorial day holiday, please remember to say a prayer for those that have lost their lives serving our country. And if you see a vet or active member of the military, please take a minute to thank them for their service. They appreciate the sentiment. America is the land of the free BECAUSE of the brave.

Teka....How about ole upstate NY Hyde's Coney's or Rochester NY's garbage plate dogs.
Heather..... you have to go to a center that does tomographic mammos- like Dana Farber and MGH...this must be one in Philly or NYC. Dana Farber and MGH are the only ones that have the technology in Massachusetts.

Just a quick check-in...who asked about holiday weekend plans? I'm leaving on a jet plane to Paris in less than 48 hours!
Heather - yes, job hunting really does suck! I hope you find something real soon!
Congrats to everyone finishing up chemo!!!
Oh Inmate, come out and play!

LuvRV - enjoy the anticipation!!! Wishing you a wonderful trip. How's the DD's knee?
Heather - job hunting can be soul crushing! We're here to remind you how wonderful you are. There is a lot of talent here, anything we can do to help?0 -
Teka:
Ok, I'm originally from NY (Long Island), but I need to ask and excuse my stupidity, but what is sweet meat sauce????

Mags..we are hoping to go to Mexico..maybe next summer..I can hardly wait....all inclusive is the way to go.
I really dislike this new format and I am having a hard time with my new laptop...old dog, new tricks..kinda thing
ok..I jogged 4 miles and walked 2 today...took me 80 min kinda slow but 6 miles was a first for me...it was while the old sod (here's to you Cocker) was golfing lol
My favorite hot dog is a Hebrew National or a Sugardale all beef hot dog with coney sauce, onions, ketchup and mustard and relish....oh man...once you go beef you never go back...lol
remember awhile ago..I told you all about my friends daughter who is 26 and has tn? She is in hospice now...she has dealt with this for almost 2 years....26 years old...she has undergone several trials at the Cleveland Clinic...this totally sucks but, but...her participation in the clinical trials may help someone that is 26...or any age down the road...small solace I know...but her dying...and yes she is will hopefully not be in vain.......

CS, loved the lawyer post, glad you're doing better with the Taxol, I had trouble sleeping the day of chemo too, I'm exhausted right now since I only had 2 hrs of sleep early this morning, gonna try to go to bed early tonight to catch up.
Weekend plans, every year for Memorial weekend we have a family tradition of going camping at Morro Bay with my parents, oldest bro's family, our family, and my cousin's family, but due to chemo and fatigue we have decided to have a backyard campout for the kids and DH's from my family, my cousin's family and my BFF's family, the women and baby (my niece who's 1) will sleep indoors on comfy beds hee hee. It should be fun we're gonna roast marshmallows, make s'mores, roast white corn/sweet potatos, have hamburgers, and hot dogs (minus sweet or spicy meat sauce, but with onions, ketchup, mustard, tomatoes, relish...), pork belly with Korean fixings, Kim chee stew, udon, ramen, bacon, eggs, and toast, of course not all in one day. Sorry if I made anyone drool!
Teka, I'll have 2 dogs with spicy meat sauce and the works please and of course a diet coke, gotta watch my figure, hee hee!0 -
Oh Titan. I am so sorry to hear about your friends daughter. Oh how I hate cancer. 26 years old...Damn it.

Titan - what a terrible, terrible shame about your friend's daughter - way too young for that to happen. My cousin's daughter was the same age, died of a brain tumour and was the single mom of a 3 year old. He's being raised by her parents now. I am hoping to beat this FC but, to be honest, at least I have lived a full life. So, if it's not to be, so be it. I just feel so sad for the young women or the ones who have young children at home and hope that they all get to live their lives to the fullest and see their children grow up. I will pray that she doesn't suffer and that her family can cope.

Titan, so sorry to hear about your friend's daughter. That's very sad. My thoughts and prayers are with you and her family.
LuvRVing, hope you and your daughter have a blast in Paris. It's such a special city. My DH proposed at the Jardin du Luxembourg (off Boulevard St. Michel...near the Sorbonne). It was the most beautiful place ever. It you can fit it in your schedule, try to go there.

Michelle - Wow! Have the greatest time of your life? Is there any space in your suitcase to take me with you? Enjoy every moment, you deserve it.
Titan - So very sorry to hear of a 26 year old being in hospice. My goodness, how sad!
Sugar - It must have been a most romantic proposal in such a romantic city!
I had my thyroid biopsy today. The tech. lady said don't worry, it looks pretty benign to me. I just wanted to hug her. I thanked her profusely. I hope she is right. I am not sure though whether I want to hear the results before the long weekend or enjoy my long weekend to the fullest and then hear the news next week. In any case, I guess I have no control over when they call me with the news.

Titan, your friend's daughter will be in my prayers

Inmate - how are you doing? We haven't heard from you in a few days. Hope all is well.
Annie - how about you? How's your second day after Taxol? The boards are quiet without your posts!

Titan - I am so sorry for your young friend. My aunt had IBC, and was in the first taxol trials. I know I have some comfort in her blazingy trail.
I envy your energy! I will try to take your inspiration and get myself moving!
Naan - your weekend sounds wonderful! I like where the girls get to sleep indoors
Annie - loved the story. Hope you are on your way to feeling better.
Packing up the boy, for his big, LA prom date. There are many parts of a Tuxedo, to forget to pack.0 -
LuvRVing - Have a really great time in Paris! How long are you there? Will be anxiously waiting to hear all about it when you return!
Hope the tech was right, Lovelyface, she probably has a good idea of what she's seen.
Titan - 6 miles - way to go!! That's really impressive.

Good Evening Ladies
Titan - that is just terrible about your friends daughter, so very young. We have a young girl in my chemo class who is 24 who is not doing well. My heart breaks for her and all the young people with cancer. I have at least had most of my life whereas they haven't even started their's yet and maybe never will. I will pray for them and all the youngsters with cancer and mums with cancer who are young and have kiddies. This always becomes a real test of my faith when I hear or see this.
Could you please stop telling me about how much exercise you are doing it makes my head swim and I swear I get a funny tick in my eye lol. I have about as much energy as a slug at the moment after a night with no sleep.
Sugar77 - a proposal in Paris. You must have a very very romantic man. I have always wanted to go to the Louvre.
Lovelyface - at least a little bit of good news to be going on with until you get the all okay.
Ladies your Memorial weekend plans sound great. I hope you all have a lovely time. I will probably be making up time with my typing as I was very sluggish today. But Taxol is going well at the moment, just got to watch my puffy feet apparently. I'm sure its only all the xtra water because it goes away again. I'm sure there is no need to have my heart checked, feels ok to me and I'm still breathing. I don't mind working for the doctors just don't want to see them myself.
OBXK _ oh don't you just love 'young love'. Goes all the way to LA to see her. Wow what a son. Wish I had one. Did you shine his shoes up well because she will notice lol.
Have a good weekend ladies and enjoy all your hot dogs with the trimmings. Forget about cancer and have a ball.
Heather - hope all is going well with the job hunting. You will get one because it only takes one employer to say "wow she's awesome".
Inmate - hope all is well with you. Just hope you are out skiing again and forgetting us for a while.
Naan1004 - Yep was up all night and I really feel it now (but still don't need my heart checked). I really don't think they need to give me such a large dose of Dexamethazone in the infusion bag, so unnecessary I think. Hope they know what they are doing!!
Have a great evening ladies. There is nothing on tele tonight so might go to bed early. Hugs to you all Annie

You know, with all the space at the side of the screen they could allow us to put a bigger picture so I can see everyone better. Just a thought. Just couldn't go without making my post longer !!!

Titan - I'm so sorry to hear of your friends daughter. So damn unfair! She and her family are in my prayers.
Mags - What kind of store? Sounds fun to own a store. We went to Mexico, all inclusive, for our honeymoon. Loved it.
Sugar77 - How romantic!!! Perhaps you could arrange some lessons for our men in that department.
CS - Those stupid steriods kept me up and bloated for days. Then when I stopped taking them I swear I pee'd for hours on end. Puffy feet are from the steriods, not the heart, I would think.
Lovelyface - Thrilled to hear it "looks" benign. The waiting is horrible but you'll be just fine.
Inmate - Miss your posts, hope your doing ok.
I'm sorry if I've missed anyone.
Have a busy day, 2 interviews, food shopping, have to drop off some paperwork at the my old highschool. Hoping to at least get some temp work there to have some $$ coming in. Then it's a Zumba night and I've still got to do a half hour on my eliptical this morning. (sorry CS, still very heavy, need to lose weight and burn off nervous anxiety)
Have a wonderfull day ladies.

Heather--it's a franchised children's store called Once Upon A Child. Have had it for 12 yrs. My son took the helm while I was in treatment. He is quite a special 22 yr old.
Titan--26 is way too young for this crap. Here's to hoping that all this research stops this beast in its tracks sooon!
