    Aruba, I LOVE the pole bunny!!!! Way cute lol

    Momof3, keeping fingers crossed for your visit on Monday. I'm in your pocket!!!

    Marian, one if the cancer pages I have on Facebook posted that we are survivors from the moment we are diagnosed. As chrisrenee said, we are here. For family, friends ourselves. Every moment we are here we are a survivor!

    Believe, it will be interesting to have your cousins point if view, can't wait to meet her

    Cmbernardi, PICTURES!!!! Lmao, that sounds like it would be a scene in a movie!!



    I have to check out this photobucket. I've never heard of it.



    Anyone else find that after chemo, that as your hair grew it was a faux hawk? Lol

    Mcook:   I too cried when I read what your sister had written.   You will have to keep us posted.   Ellen better get a bigger table in for us all up there.   Wouldn’t that just be the best fun ever… can you imagine.

    Marian: (((hugs))) hope you feel better soon.  And as the others have said “wish I could donate some to you”

    Believe:  I hope your cousin joins… is she a table dancer too

    Chrisrenee:  I agree – survivor to me means I am here today. 

    Cmbernadi:  you vixen…. What fun for your VA gentleman.

    Momof3greatkids:  welcome to this wonderful band of women.  You will find so much love, comfort and support here.   In your pockets for Monday.

    Shari:  hello, how you doing today ?

    Hello to all others I have missed.    Met my friend who was dx’d.  She’s OK, not great – but hanging in there.  

    House all cleaned, laundry done – you got this chrisrenee and scottie?   That has to burn some calories.  Now I am going to enjoy my Saturday evening in front of the tv and fire.  Maybe read my book and have a glass of wine.    Yikes, maybe the last one in case we get on tv – ha ha !

    So right what everyone has said here – we have a connection that no one else has or gets.  

    Happy St. Paddy’s day… guess its lucky my DH will be driving back from Alberta tomorrow… he’s Irish so am sure he’d be wanting to drink if he is here.

    Love u girls...

    Luanne and tazzy.. I am ok... Hanging in there..

    Counting down the days til surgery when I can get this blasted tumor out of me and get my dreaded path report.. The after chemo one.. Being that we know tumor stil there, just need to see what is going on.. And hopefully hormone therapy will take care of whatever is in nodes or left in breast.. Did have a good day.. Went to the MoMa and avoided all the drunken teenagers at st. Patrick's day parade.. Had a nice day looking at art. But didnt realize how exhausted I get even after chemo

    Outdamn- if you have an android it doesn't work well with photobucket. Luckily I have an iPod to use. Thanks to Believe she has helped me to figure it out.



    I guess when I fell asleep earlier waiting for the dryer to finish I slept wrong and now I have a stupid crick in my neck. Wanted to tell you all that I started reading our earlier posts and I cried like a baby! Posts that I had forgotten about. The posts of what they had survived. I guess I don't remember that part of it because I was in my drugged induced haze from exchange. Now I'm going to get a hydrocodone and see if that will help my neck pain.

    chrisrenee - love the bravery post - just printing off and putting on my fridge.   An every day reminder of what I actually went through, what we all went through. 

    hugs all xxx

    Shari - good to see your smiling face. You've touched our hearts. Please check in as often as you can. We miss and worry about you when you are too quiet. Glad you had a fun outing today. Keeping busy makes the time go by faster. Pretty soon you will be the one giving us advise. Hang in there!

    It is 4 a.m. And I am awake .... Get back to bed ....



    Please keep my friends in your thoughts and prayers ... Their 25 year old daughter is very ill and they are doing a bone marrow test on Monday to rule out Leukaemia. They still haven't ruled out a severe infection however she isn't improving fast enough. Her white blood count was .3 when she was admitted. It went up to .8 with antibiotics .. Her fever broke and the next day it was only .6 .... I cannot even imagine what her mom and dad (my friends) are going through.



    Enjoy your Sunday.

    Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and offering to be in my pockets on Monday! I thought I was done worrying about upcoming appointments, but it seems to be worse now than when I was in active treatment. I will wear my pants with the huge pockets so everyone has room.



    I love all the cartoons and all the love I feel from everyone. I truly feel as most of you have already said that only other BC survivors really get what we are going through.



    Happy St. Patrick's day ladies!

    Jo, I know all the gals here will be praying for her, so nothing but good positive vibes

    coming her way.

    Joanne, Scottie,and momof3- we can be the 4 marketeers. I've been tossing and turning all night. Weird crazy dreams (not nightmares this time), I guess subconsciously I had been thinking about things I would have done differently when I was younger.



    Jo- all prayers your way to your friends! It is the scariest thing ever to go through. Been there dine that with my daughter when she was only 3 wks old. She spiked a 105 fever and was admitted three different times. Daily sonograms, a lumbar puncture adult doses of antibiotics, and to this day we still have no clue what happened, that was almost 12 yrs ago.



    Momof3- we take a lot of pocket trips so be prepared! I still get nervous at every appt I have. I have MO appt this Friday, follow up appt in 3 mos and PCP appt in 6 mos. It all brings on stress and unneeded anxiety. I've never had any anxiety issues until May of 2012. Now I ha e them all the time, but have learned to control it for the most part. I think it gets better.



    Scottie (mom)- I love you!! Hope you are resting after getaway. Going to try to sleep a bit more before I have to meet my dad for lunch.

    Love ya!

    Chrisrenee....you are a little " ray of sunshine" here. ☀ You always have the right words to say to everybody....let's hope Jo's friend's daughter has the same good results as your daughter!!!!



    My adopted daughter....don't go there!!!! You will drive yourself crazy....what's done is done, we CAN'T go back, only forward. You have a beautiful family that loves you and supports you, not to mention your new family here and ME, your new adopted mother.



    Have a wonderful lunch with Dad.....enjoy that moment......remember to put some kale and broccoli in your green beer...😜

    I don't even know what brought all that Crap on is the kicker! The only thing I would have done differently is making my now hubby my son's bio dad. My son's sperm donor said he was not the "bastards" father. His words not mine keep in mind. My hubby loves my son as if he were his own, he has raised him since he was 4 now 16. Our son calls him dad. I think in the end I would love to just punch the sperm donor just once. I think I'm entitled to that., especially since he's never paid child support and I've let him off without ant responsibility. :)

    Believe: I am sure I won't be giving advice anytime soon.. I come for support.. I cried when you said I touched your heart. That was so sweet. I think some of my stress will lessen after surgery... Tight now I am just sitting here with tumor and time to think. It's agonizing.. But I am trying to retrain my thoughts to b more positive and when I go dark at least I try not to stay there. I still have trouble sleeping at times but I hope it will all get better

    Chrisrenee....if you find out where the asshole is, we, the gals could have a field day with him....he won't know what hit him, literally.....lol
