Well I had said I wouldn't color my hair when it came back (and it will be mostly grey) but I'm definitely going to have to reconsider based on all this!!! If I am going to have a better body from the boobs down than when I was in my mid-20's, I'm going to need the hair to match!

It was in 2008 I met up in Vegas with with the chat room gals not the vegas gals on the discussion boards, althoug they sound like a lot of fun, too. I didn't organize the vegas trip, just the community boards Papa Razzi get together, I have a pic on FB somewhere. Cornish hens are almost done. DH is drooling.

I was on FB and my veggies got pretty dark, DH like them that way, PHEW! Picked some Rosemary from my garden and stuffed it inside the hens. The smell was awesome.

I have never ever had a cornish hen, with all the chx i have eaten i just couldnt get myself to eat one, dont know why but have heard they are tasty, never eaten, squirrel,capons,rabbit, turtle, snake frog legs, escargo, now i have served all these thing while working in a fine dining restaurant but could not bring myself to eat it
Michelle- So what does your Dh think about the new hairdew? Tell him we all love it on you. Who knew it was a 70's wig looks great Again, good luck tomorrow for last chemo

Debbie - that 'do was supposed to be nothing more than a costume look, meant to be fun for my son's party, My daughters said that I was totally pulling off the look, I think DH thought it was just funny and never took it seriously. But now I'm going to be hard-pressed to ignore it. Someone tells me it makes me took ten years younger then I must listen!!! He is chuckling over the whole thing. I actually checked out really dark longer wigs last night...might have to buy a "real" one that fits my scalp a little better. My daughter thinks a red one would be good, too. Maybe auburn???
Up and having my coffee, then it will be time to get ready. I have to be at the chemo center at 9:00. My daughter arrived last night and made three surreptitious trips to the fridge and up to the spare bedroom. I think she's got a party in the works! I charged my camera batteries.

Michelle put that wig on and your best sexy outfit and then see what your DH has to say about it! Ha Ha they are such simple creatures.
Any way back on track.....cornish hens are the best, my mom would make them all the time with stuffing, just like a mini thanksgiving. I dont think to make them, but now they will be on my mind.
Tonight is hump night and weather is iffy so the back-up plan is to go to our favorite bar/rest. they have a 10$ steak with vege and potato...usually pretty good.
Michelle good luck on the last chemo! party!!!

thanks carberry,
Do the tats hurt? Do they burn them on, or use a needle, sounds a little scary. I am meeting with the radiologist today, just to talk about the upcoming rads, so I can ask there as well, I just like talking with my girlfriends on here , who has been through all of this
0 -
zumba, my tats for rads were just 5 little pin pricks. Compared to a lot of what we go through hardly noticeable.

Love cornish hens..perfect dinner for two! In western NC they are hard to come by. I asked for them once by name and I got a blank stare, then finally the guy said "oh..you mean them little chickens, they don't fry up so good".
I'll have to wait until I return to Fl to make that dish.

Zumba,
I was worried about the tattoos, too... Mine are just 3 very tiny dots (smaller than the head of a pin).... I have 1 on each side of my torso right around the bra-line and 1 on the inner side of the opposite breast near my sternum....
Barely noticeable and I really don't remember it hurting at all...0 -
While everyone was gaga over Farrah Fawcet, I always thought Jaclyn was just gorgeous!
Michelle,
We've seen you with all of your different looks and you haven't hit a bad one yet!! I swear you'd look good in just about anything! Although this last one sure has generated some buzz...lol
Thinking of you as you have your last chemo and hoping that this one goes easy on you!!

wow this thread has been busy! Welcome back Seaside, so glad to see you posting here again. Michelle- I hope your last round goes well today and is gentle on you. I'll be thinking of you.
Dinner out last night was great. We had two appetizers that were amazing. Stuffed portabellos and some fried calamari with an incredible dipping sauce. By the time my baked stuffed eggplant came I couldn't even eat much of it. But it will reheat nicely I'm sure.
My stupid cold is making a reappearance it seems. I'm hoping both boys nap for me today so I can lay down for a bit too. I'm bulking up on the vitamin C big time. I have no time to not feel well!
Dinner tonight is going to be a roast chicken. I've done this recipe a couple of times and it is so easy and comes out awesome.

Hope everyone is having a good day and thank you for all the Happy Anniversary wishes:)
My gift to my husband was a hand juicer, a dozen lemons and a bottle of blueberry stoli. Now he can make his fair lemonade and spike it just the way he likes! Sometimes it's the little treats that we live for!

Enjoying a French continental breakfast/brunch at chemo - exotic cheeses, bread, variety offruit, dark chocolate, variety of olives, sparking cider, and chocolate covered pistachios. We have generated lots of smiles!

That sounds good Michelle. Congrats on being done chemo, and you did it in style too!
Zumbagirl, I think we're in the October rads thread together. I just got 5 tattoos last Monday. They didn't hurt much, just a pinch and a slight burning sensation. Took a second each. I actually haven't found all of them. I've only found 1. It is a very small black dot. Kind of looks like a mark from a pencil point. It's not like I've searched for them, but they're definitely not obvious.
I just got back from getting Herceptin. NP told me I definitely have lymphedema. I only see very small amount of swelling, but next Thursday off to a lymphedema specialist to get wrapped and learn how to wrap. Oh joy.
Tonight is a Jewish holiday, going to MIL's for dinner. I'm sure it will be delicious. We're bringing the cheeses: a cheddar, brie and a roquefort. What I'm really looking forward to is dessert. I hope she made her chocolate chip cake.

Kay I hope she made her chocolate chip cake too! I'm so sorry about the lymph edema
Michelle- Your chemo breakfast sounded yummy! I hope you are home resting now.

Hi everyone! We got home around 4:00, all is good, my son and daughter came back with me and Joe is still here. Rick is on his way home from work and is picking up dinner. He's funny about not wanting to eat the same things two days in a row. So we won't be having chili. He wants fried chicken. I wonder how well that will go down as a Taxol topper. I'm anticipating indigestion but maybe I'll get lucky.
I'll get some pictures out later!

So glad you are done your chemo.
Having Crab Cakes and my doctored up Baked Beans.

is the count still 5? 0 -
Laurie- That chx recipe looks really good will try that next time i do a whole chx- Hope you feel better soon.
Michelle- Your brunch during chemo sounded good, is that what they served there? I always just got chips and packaged muffins with juice. Hope you are feeling good and getting some rest.
Kay-Sorry about the lymphdema ;-(( Yum on the choc chip cake!
Seaside- Good to see you again, i agree i thought jacklyn smith was beautiful too.
Apple- Thats how i felt about those little things too LOL!
Joyce-sweet dreams- Good Night! You go to bed early?

Debbie - the center always has packaged foods and a few fresh sandwiches, along with an assortment of beverages. Today's banquet was compliments of our family's "minister of fun."
Fresh fruit and eclairs
DD with the baguettes, assortment of French cheeses and adding to the French bistro theme
My "movie star' look...what do you think? Sleeping Beauty or Jaclyn Smith? Maybe if I stay incognito I can just enjoy the food and nurse Lisa won't recognize me.
On the left is Summer, the aide who greeted me every time, took my vitals and made sure I was comfy. On the right is my chemo nurse, Lisa. She was with me during every single treatment and was absolutely wonderful. She explained everything, every single time. No assumptions. If I asked a question, she got an answer.
Here I am, one last time!
And it's a wrap! Note that the wig had to go, it was a bit irritating towards the end of the session.
And we are on the way, with Pomp and Circumstance playing on DD's phone. On the right is my son, Joe.
And now, {{{BIG HUGS}}} to all of you for showering me with your love and support during this part of my journey. I have looked forward to reading this thread every single day, and the emotional support here is beyond anything I could have imagined!
Luv to my BC sisters,
Michelle

Congratualtions Michelle on this milestone of you BC journey. I'm glad your famly turned it into the celebration that it should be. We'll have to have a toast at Pickety Place in your honor. I'm driving up to Joyce's and hitching a ride with you guys. I can't wait to meet everyone. And the picture with the sunglasses - I'm thinking Jackie O
I'm really enjoying this thread. I don't cook much. It's not that I can't, I just don't. Baking is more my specialty. I live alone, so I'd only be cooking for one and I just don't seem to have the energy at the end of the day. Debbie, your cornish hen dinner was making my mouth water. My mother would make them, stuffed with her sausage stuffing, as a special treat. They were like mini Thanksgiving turkeys.
When I do cook, it's usually for a special occasion. Being Italian, my go to special occasion meal is manicotti (from scratch) and gravy. Sauce to you non Italians - we call it gravy because it has a meat base. I make homemade braciole, just like mama's, and add country style pork ribs and sausage. I made it for a friend a few months ago to celelbrate her 50th birthday. It was a momentous occasion. She is a 20 year stage IV Hodgkin's survivor and a pioneer patient of the stem cell transplant. Dessert was from scratch banana cream pie - her favorite. I made them again, in July, for my brother's 60th birtday party, but I cheated and used a homemade marinara sauce from a local italian pasta store.

zumbagirl - I hope you are feeling better now. I liked your pasta recipe - will have to give that a try tomorrow night after chemo #1.0

Sue - good luck tomorrow with chemo # 10

Michelle- Well we all luv ya too!!! I loved that your DD and DS came to your last chemo and was there for you. the pictures were awesome and, im wishing i had an eclair right now LOL! And this is not kidding im going to the store tomorrow and buying some different cheeses and some baquette bread, thats right up my alley. Yippe on the last chemo so glad that part of it is behind you, i know you still have stuff to do but at least the chemo is over.
Hauntie- I would love the bricolle recipe sounds really good.
Sue- Hope things go well for you tomorrow with zero SE

Sue - we'll all be thinking about you today as you get your first TX. Be sure to drink, drink, drink! Whatever tastes good to you, it doesn't matter. And don't forget juicy fruits and veggies count, too. I have been drinking about 96 ounces a day and I swear that helped fight off some side effects and nausea. Remember, there is a pill for every SE except hair loss and fatigue. So don't suffer needlessly with anything. If you have questions, don't hesitate to PM me.
Hugs,
Michelle

LuvRVing - Thank you for the kind thoughts and the tip about drinking, drinking, drinking. I'm going to ask everyone around me - home, work, church, friends and extended family - to remind me too, since is something I've never been able to do consistently. I love your blog - great pictures from your last day of chemo. Hurray for you!
Hauntie & Debbie - Thanks for your kind thoughts, too!
