I just sent an email to those I have addresses for and got some bounce backs. However if anyone knows someone who may have been missed please let them know about Saturday. I think I replied to all private messages with my address but if not send me a PM.
So much looking forward to it!
Love Marian

Yes, nothing sinister from bone scans says MO but lots of osteoarthritis in entire lower lumbar area and knees and shoulders. Who would have thought shoulders! Am seeing a bone specialist on Friday with yet another bone density test and probably bisphosphonates. Saw BS Monday for what I thought was cording but she thinks capsular contracture. Have an appt. March 2 with PS and am on a wait list anyway for an implant exchange. But BS and I both agree that I keep on trekking~~good old weight bearing exercise.
I am really looking forward to Saturday! Think it is time for name tags though~~my memory is good and not so good!

Marian, I have not been able to get in touch with her =( Have tried a few times Left a Message for her Hoping she shows up where I suggested we meet. I am bringing my friend Heidi who was my biggest support during treatment. Some of you will have "heard" me "talking" about her as she started treatment 6 months before me. Her and her DH helped us through treatment they are pretty amazing people and I am happy she wanted to come and meet all of you See you all in a few hours

Smiles to all of you! Wendy, I hope your sons were happy with the windfall too. We actually had 17 women attend, beating last two years' records. New Day could only stay a short but so happy she came. There was some talk of a sleepover option for next year too. Thanks to everyone for all the amazing food. Potlucks are the best!

Wendy can you PM the recipe for the almond/"chocolate" balls you made?
0 -
Will do😊

Do you think we would get in trouble with the moderators if Wendy just posted it here?

Okay this is a dessert that has no processed sugar or flour or any bad stuff😃
Using a food processor add 1/2 almonds and 1/2 cup walnuts grind up so they are finely mixed. Next add 1 1/2 cup dates 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 tsp almond extract ( use the natural one not the artificial one) 1 tsp instant coffee grounds, hand full of cranberries and a hand full of chocolate chips ( found some at choices that are sweetened with stevia and they taste great) and three tablespoons cocoa powder. Marian I think I forgot to add that to your PMed recipe. And pulse until combined. I like to soak the dates a little in water then drain to add some moister. Roll into balls and roll in coconut. Store in fridge for up to two weeks. If you have a flavour of dried fruit that you would prefer to cranberries ie apricots or mangoes they can be used instead it's pretty forgiving.

Marian, Grateful to you for hosting! Appreciate the opportunity to meet all the ladies (incl. two "neighbours"!) and try the delicious foods, I ate and learned a lot. Thanks Wrenn and Ossa for the photos, and Wendy for the recipe-it certainly takes a planner to bring this to a party!
Look forward to seeing all of you next time

Hi everyone. It's Carrie. So sorry to have missed the potluck but have ended up in LMH short stay surgery tower. in short, Thursday afternoon I called 911 to come in since I could not get a hold of my breathing patterns. nOw I am on full oxygen and high quantities of morphine to help me breath. I've ended up in a private room with excellent nursing care. As soon as a bed comes open for hospice I will be taking it.
looks like the end might be not so clear now...if I can hold on another 10'weeks I can see another daughter walk down the a aisle⛪️🎉

Oh Carrie looking at your avetar I see a beautiful stronge woman. I wish there was some way of sending strength through the stupid internet. Don't ever give up , I know it's aweful don't they have more treatment options for you? You have the same cancer as I do have you thought about trying cannabinoides even at this stage? So far I am having good success with it. Think of yourself getting stronger and getting out of the dumb hospital and watching your daughter walk down the aisle. I keep sounding like a lunatic with this medical marajuana crap I know. But think if it would help you how grand that would be? I'm rambling big hug.
Wendy
