Kind of falling to peices this evening. Looking at old photos is not a good thing to do if you are already down in the dumps. Too many friends and family have been lost recently to cancer and in my mind I seem to be next on the list since I am the oldest person in my father's family still living! Everyone is now asking me for advice and what to do and I just want to find a hole and crawl in and cover myself up.
Tomorrow will be better and the sun will shine. Love all you sisters. AJ

hang in there AJ. I have not been on here much lately been very busy with work and DH and I started up a ministry so evenings and weekends have been full as well. I will be praying for you. I know you are in a hard place right now. I hope the radiation is going OK for you. I take Zometa every six months. The only time I have had a problem was when I did not drink enough fluids. Made me feel like I had the flu my body just ached. Since then I have been fine. ((((((HUGS)))))

Thanks Sherry. I am feeling better now, even though I am really tired. That is to be expected from the radiation. I see my MO on the 14th and I will find out how often I will get the Zometa. I think I am getting it every month at least for a little while, since my bones are where the progression was found. I appreciate all the prayers, I truly believe prayers are what have kept me around this long.
Hugs and love, AJ

I have not been around for many months either. I prayers are always with my sisters in the battle against this cancer.
I will start volunteering at a local hospital Monday. I will be in the Women's Clinic working with those having mamograms and biopsys. Will also be attending support group meetings to encourage others beginning the walk I started in Nov. 2010. I am will graduate to the floor visiting patients who have undergone surgery. I just want to let women know their lives are not over when they get a positive report.
Lost my husband of 46 years in Feb. of this year. I am just starting to make a life for myself. I want to be a positive influence.

Mimidi--good for you...helpin other sistas.sorry about ur hubby.
Thinkin of you AJ...hope everything is going well for u.
Where did everyone go?
This is where it all started...come back home...0 -
Granny it is amazing that when I first found this site after my dx I lived with my computer reading all the posts I could. How this helped me make it through all the treatments. I think everyone is just out living. Maybe during the winter more will make it back to visit. I do feel it is important for us who are survivors to encourge the new sistas. It sure helped me when I would read the posts of those who had walked in my shoes and were doing great.
Everyone have a great day!!!

Enoyed working at the Women's Health Center today. Prepared things to fax and worked on posting result of biopsys to a a notebook. Met ladies coming in for mamograms and biopsys. Saw ladies waiting for their biopsys to be done. I do hope that before too long I can talk to them and give them encouragement.

I to have not checked in here for a long time...guess that is good. So far all of my scans have come back negative. About a year ago I had a little surgery because one of the implants had moved way up and was in danger of rupturing, so glad I had it taken care of when I did. What really made me think about this group is that a young women I met last week has her 34 yr old sister going through this, so I gave her the www. address with hopes people will be able to help her through the journey just as we have helped each other....healthy days ahead for all of you.

I started this group post way back in 2010 and am now just returning. Im feeling run down and my bones hurt like an 80 yr old a lot but Im still here with no relapses to date. Im returning because I cant seem to grasp that this is my new normal, I feel I just haven't returned to normal yet. Wouldn't it be nice to all be able to afford to meet and spend a weekend getting together while being pampered with spa treatments! Im going to go back through the post to catch up and see how everyone else is feeling now and which two sisters we've lost. Hugs to everyone! Jen

Hey sistahs!
Well it seems we all have the same timing just about. I've not been on the boards for more than a year (maybe two?) as I tried to move on with life and not dwell on cancer. So far all of my checkups and blood work have been clear, and for that I am thankful although I have a small sense of dread that it will return someday.
I hate tamoxifen and the body aches are horrendous. I just turned 50 and feel 90. My feet are in pain every day and I hobble like crazy. But I'm here!
I was just reading the article by Dr. Weiss about dieting vs. healthy eating as I've been struggling with my weight which just keeps going up, of course that adds to my overall sense of well-being (or not-well-being). I've got 2 more years of Tamoxifen; hopefully I'll feel better when I discontinue it.
Good to see that so many of us are still here.
Godspeed!

Hi to everyone. I have my last 6 month mammo 10/31 then I am on to once a year. I am not taking arimidex so I don't have that bunch of symptoms. I feel good overall but I do miss Marybe and Melissa. My onc is done with me so that is a relief. Anyway, here's to us!0 -

Wow! I have not been here in a long time. I have had more downs than ups lately and tests have not been the best news, but I am still here and still moving so all is good. Femara stopped working after 3 years and I am on to Tamoxifen and Aredia IV has been replaced with Zometa and we are still in the wait and see period to see if it is working or not. Onco is thinking I am having a Tamoxifen flare and wants to wait another month before changing course again. Had 2 more rounds of radiation to deal with bone mets and the pain the are causing which have helped some. Current round is on T12 - L3 and should be over by the 30th. CT of the brain is to be scheduled for next week to see if they can find a reason for this constant headache that I have had since Jan. 2013! Oh well, it is what it is and I am still in the game. I'll try to stop by more often expecially for these group hugs.
Joy and blessings, AJ0 -
Hello Everyone am doing OK Elisimo, I am praying for you I hope it works I know your kindness during my treatment and I am sorry you are still struggling, Stay Strong and know we are ALL here for YOU L. C:)0 -
Hello 2010 sisters...
Always so wonderful to see everyone that is checking in and keeping us all up to date...
I promise you...I pray for you all everyday...I lift you and your intentions to God and pray that all is going better and better for you all each day...
Mrs. Nice...GREAT to hear from you...and I get it when it comes to the 'weight' thing..I'm always struggling with that...
Grannydukes--you are the best! Always so upbeat and feisty!
AmyJo-special prayers for you everynight as well, my friend...
Had my 6 month mammo, bloodwork and vist with onc...all still good, and I'm so thankful...but, I still struggle..more than I thought I would after 3+ years...I get the blues more than I would like and will be so thankful when my husband gets back from his deployment (been gone since Dec 2012)...maybe that will be what I need to get back on track...
I love my 2010 sisters!!!
GROUP HUG!!!!!

So the mammo was clear but my breast had a scaly red patch for a month or so but it is smaller and is getting better. Anyway long story short, the mammo chick basically made me go to my onc. He, in turn, wants me to go to the surgeon. So that is next on the plate.
AJ sorry you are hurting. HUGS pal!
Good to see everyone!0 -
2010 Sisters it has been ages since I have been on here. I am feeling really good and getting on with life. My MO has me doing 6 month until my 5 years. My next appt is the end of December. Will see my PS in a couple of weeks so I hope he likes what he sees, he has also taken over for my BS so I don't have to go there any longer. And this may be my last time with the PS unless I have problems.
Elisimo hope you are feeling better. (((HUGS))))0 -
Hope my 2010 sisters had an amazing Thanksgiving! Cant believe that it's December! Got myself a chest cold, so just trying to get through that junk. But, I guess it is that time of year!
Love and prayers to you all...
Still praying everyday for us all....
Love and HUGE HUGS to all...

Tori I have had the head congestion turned into a sinus infection. Think you are right it is that time of year.
Saw my PS and he did not like what he saw. I am not surprised really. My rads breast got hammered during rads and it is just not holding up to the reconstruction. But the good news is it does not hurt. He wants to do another surgery on that breast to try to fix it but he said I can do it whenever I feel like it. I told him I want to wait awhile I'm just not up to more surgery at the moment life is just too busy. He smiled and said call him when I'm ready.0 -
Love you all and wish you a happy 2014!!
