First of all, WELCOME BACK, SCORCHY! We need your wisdom and sarcasm here all the time!
Allurbddays, yes, it makes sense that we should not all be on the same strength Tamo, because we are all different weights and heights. At the moment it is a one-size-fits-all approach, it seems.
Juneau, I feel like you about the fact that I'm trying my utmost, but the scale is not moving. At the moment I'm more focussed on eating healthy, and becoming fit and strong. Trying not to be so hung up on what the scale says, but it sucks that it is so hard to move the weight. It does not help that DH has lost 7 lbs in the last four weeks. He eats the same as me, just bigger portions, and he exercises in the gym. I know men are different, but really? Refreshingmountain looks, well. . . . refreshing! It will be great to spend time there together.
Chrisrenee, good for you for losing that pound. Keep going!
Tazzy, let me know if you find cheap tickets. I will be looking too.

Scorchy...love you and glad you're back....but will be keeping an eye on you too. 👀
Sheryl....I like the cap..... very cute
Everyone else.....love you and will try to post later0 -
Glad the posts got fixed..I thought I was taking the vertigo to a new level! Still only seem to get the dizziness when I turn to right side in bed..but only once last night..such a weird feeling..but at least now not so scared!
Scorchy..glad to have you here with us! You do belong!
Checked out the drive from here to PA would be about 6 hours..but then saw the date...2nd day of Rosh Hashana..so I won't be able to attend.
Put the gym on hold this week due to the dizzies....but did go out in the sun and cleaned off the ice and falling icicles from the first sunshine in days. Hugs to all!

I haven't signed anything yet so don't book flights! I am waiting to talk to the contact. So far ten of you have said yes, but I need to find out the minimum commitment. I think it's 20. I won't pay out and end up stuck either so i will have to see what I will do after I have more details. (Chrisrenee. Is it the date?)

Well ladies - it's official. I have been radiated. First real treatment today. Again - like all else with this shit, pretty anticlimactic. Best news was they told me my txt plan calls for 25 txts - which is a full week less than I thought it would be. Small victories.
A bit sad today as my neighbor's mom lost her battle with lung cancer today. I didn't know her well, but had a constant chemo-based dialogue going with my neighbor - as they were always having questions or concerned about her reactions. Another person claimed at too young an age from f'ing cancer. Fuck off already would ya cancer!
Love and hugs ladies!

If anyone from eastern Ontario wants to go to the retreat, I will be driving from Brighton. Around 7 hours. I can take three, so keep that in mind if you thought getting there might be difficult and prevent you from going.
If interested, PM me. I enjoy road trips!0 -
Ok ladies - my first haircut was today and I a happy with it:) of course want it to be long again but she thinned it out because it was coming in all crazy thick! Yeah a first hair cut! And she was the girl who cut it off for me before it started coming out! Milestone and I am happy! Still short but could cut it! Happy dance for today!
Girl friends got together with me and got me a t shirt . It says, of course their fake, my real ones tried to kill me. It was with good intentions so I like it:)0 -
Mcook; I have the same shirt. It's actually a tank top. My friend with BC got us both one. My PS loved it. I wore it there last summer when I went in for my last fill.

Man our post are messed up on the page tonight! What is up with that?

Ramols: sorry to hear about your neighbours sister... I agree, fuck of already cancer !! Yep, rads was anticlimatic and a bit like groundhog day
juneau: fingers and toes crossed for my attendance. Geesh how pissed I'd be if I knew you girls were whooping it up and I was sat here
mcook: great you had a haircut. I am still waiting for my first one. I wear headbands as my crown is still pretty sparse.
Hello to everyone else and hugs and hugs xxxxx Have a great Thursday

mcook; didn't they figure that bigger boobs would be the only bonus to come out of this nightmare. Jeesh...! I went from a medium to a large most of the time (although a lot of my mediums still fit, which was my plan).
I had my second haircut on Tuesday. It's really more of a trim. My hairdresser is a close frined - so she just shaves the back of my neck and trims it up and then buzzes the sides up to my ears and then around my ears. The top is getting longer slowly but surely.
Hoping to get the guy on the phone to find out details of booking Refreshing Mountain for the weekend. I may ask for you to all pay 1/2 up front to book your spots. That way I won't have to lay out all of the monies for this little shin dig; becuase I certainly don't have it. STAY TUNED!

Michelle, It is unbelievable but my good friend who gave me the strength to not freak out when I got BC because I had watched her incredible attitude the last 6 yrs was just diagnosed with a tumor on her temporal lobe. She continues to have a good outlook despite it all. When will all this insanity called cancer stop?!?!
0 -
FUCK, FUCK, FUCK AND ANOTHER THOUSAND FUCKS.
My Boss and very good friend just called me - she's just been diagnosed wtih breast cancer. Yes iatigger when will this fucking insanity called cancer stop. She's only just found out so no treatment plan yet. She was there for me so much during last year. I am just so fucking angry and sad right now. She did catch it early so that's a positive.
Hugs to all of you - I love you all xxxx
Off to have a glass of wine - bollocks to it !

Oh Tazzy! That is crazy, but at least she has you to help her get through this. This fucking disease seems to be running rampant and I hate it.Thank goodness for early detection. Tell her we are all praying for her.
Ladies look me up on FB Christy-Jon Anderson.

This has been my IMs and emails since Monday:
Finn, 2 yo son of my friend Kate diagnosed with leukemia on Monday and will be in the hospital for about 2 weeks for chemo.
Our friend and massage therapist, Kaori, is in Japan with her mom, who was just diagnosed with BC last week. We won't know anything more until she returns.
My friend Melissa just contacted me this AM as a good friend and colleague of hers was just diagnosed yesterday with Stage 3 BC and asked if I would provide encouragement to her friend.
My grandson Ezra, who has had two open heart surgeries, is scheduled to have a root canal and additional dental surgery under general anesthesia with IV antibiotics due to his heart condition on Valentine's Day. The last time he went under general anesthesia 2 years ago, his O2 sats dropped to the 60's and never went back up. He had emergent open heart surgery the next night.
Now I'll say it FUCK, FUCK, FUCK! I'm sorry, but no more for the week, PLEASE!

I m glad to see everyone is embracing the power of words.... G-d-FUCKING-DamnIT!!!! Hugs, love and prayers to each of your lives one as they make their journey. It's crazy isn't it. We all did this together, yet the truth is; even with a huge family, a TON of friends and a living spouse (children for most of you)... At the end of the day it's OUR body that takes the journey and therefore we go it alone. At night when the lights go out, it's just me and this shell that continues to cause me stress. *sigh*
Prayers coming your way ladies....0 -
Oh, my......SO many prayer requests going up tonight, Sisters!!!
