    I was not sleeping...if i get on this puter in the morning i never get off it.....sooo i did some much needed cleaning and now im on a break.

    when i stopped dying my hair and went to see one of those drs on hair loss(cause i was having issues) he told me to stop dying my hair and use either biotin or Mane shampoo and conditioner and also garlic unscented shampoo.I tried all of them when i quit and im not sure which one or all of them gave me back my hair.I think i used the unscented garlic shampoo the most...dont know if they even make it anymore.

    and now im gonna STFU and go back to my housework

    Ill be back.

    huggggggs madam kantalope

    Granny and I both saw this......  We all lost "Apple".... Cry  Geez, it just makes your heart sick.....  I only knew her through this forum, but I saw a thread called "Where's Apple?"....   I followed the moderators thread, and they just broke the news.    It's like we all lose one of our friends.... even if we didn't know her, we would read where she posted sometimes.....

    Garlic shampoo?   Guess whatever works, right?  I'll bet you smell lovely, Kantalope...Wink  I'm having Pasta-fazool tonight.... lots of garlic!  And I love it.

    I just colored my hair this morning....  Loving Care Hair color lotion.... It sure makes your hair feel good.

    When I see your "madame" little Princess, I think of Gunsmoke and  Miss Kitty, Ha, ha!  I don't mean she was a madame, just that SOME of those gals were, in those days....    Rock on gals!

    I have been on foriums with Apple...I know was young,sweet and caring.Willing to give advice to anyone.Sooo sad...we lost another sista....

    there is an unscented garlic shampoo that does not have the smell of garlic...back in the days i bought it in a small junk place on Wall St.that carried everything.I used it for many yrs.after.

    The mane shampoo is a large bottle that is used for horses...yes horses...When my X was losing his hair they had this brown shit that was a liquid like a treatment. I think he was about 25yrs old but it didnt help much.Now they make it in shampoo and conditioner....And it works too.

    Yeah Chevy now im madam kantalope.Miss kitty shall be added to the long list of names that i have...kinda like the sound of it.Between you and JO calling me all those names i gotta laugh.

    And you also call me a little turd!!!!!lol.The 3 of us have not been on a thread together for quite some time....im glad you both are here...NOW STAY PUT AND STFU.......hahahahahahahahahahaha

    Scottie - I did find your post on the 2013 Survivors and read your hair loss story. That was quite a story. I can't imagine just how frustrating it is.  You try everything and still at times have the same problem.

     I don't know if you have tried taking Biotin on a regular basis.  I religiously take 5000 mcg every day.  I know this may not work for everyone - I do understand that.  It has worked for me.  Have you talked to you MO abou this?  And if so, what did he/she have to say on the subject.

    just a FYI---I just remembered that biotin strengthens All hair growth.....

    Which means the legs,hair and face....Yeah it does work tho....

    I'm wondering why my Dermatologist told me I'm wasting my time taking 5000 as the body can't absorb that amount?????

    I remembered the name but I couldn't remember much else so I looked apple up and I completely remember her when I started I was on some of the same threads as she was on and she was so sweet. Wow she was young.  feel so bad, it's just so sad when this happens. She's at peace I kknow.

    Camillegal......I am very saddened to hear about Apple too. Did not know her

    but reading everyone's posts, she was so loved here and an inspiration to many

    As Granny would say.F*ing C.....hurry people....find a cure!!!!!

    scottie - I have no idea why your Dermatologist would say that.  It seems that 5000 is about the right amount to take.  But then again, it seems when we take supplements such as Vit D, etc. we are overloading our bodies.  At one time I was taking a calcium supplement and all at once in the morning.  My oncologist told me to split the dose between morning and night.  Half of what I was taking all at once was being wasted.  Perhaps a split dose of the biotin would be better???  It can be purchased in 1000mcg doses.

    Scottie I didn't know her well, but when I went back to posts then I totally remembered her and how sweet she was--I was on different thread then trying to find ones I was really comfortable with and she was on a couple and everyone liked her that I saw. It's just s difficult to take all this in. My girlfriend called me a little while ago to tell my a women we bith knew anf went out with occasionally died this morning of mets.She had cancer about a year before me and I remember her telling me don't let them take ur breasts--that's the worst thing u can do. She told me to see other Drs. and I was doing everything wrong --who knows what u'r doing u just do what u think s the right thing. But I feel dazed right now F*** all the chit. I hate it all so much, for all of us.

    I know.... I found her picture, and remembered posting with her....  I listened to her piano piece on Utube... or that web-site that was posted....  It just takes your breath away.... "knowing" someone, and them being taken so soon....

    But you can't go by what others tell you, about what to do.... We have to choose our own path.... go through our own treatments with our fingers crossed.   Someone told me  "don't let them take your nodes..... but I trusted my team, and everything turned out alright.... 

    And what if one of us DID have a mastectomy...OR a lumpectomy....would we always wonder if we did the wrong thing?   We just put it all into those hands holding us up in heaven....  We can trust HIM..... Am I on the wrong thread?  Wink 

    Sorry to be so profound, but it's just one of those days.....  Love you guys....

    Hi Gals.....today I really do feel like STFU...sorry to be sounding a bit maudlin/morbid/down....take your pick......two beautiful women died this week.....one was only 21!!!!!!!I think they said she was the youngest yet with BC...she was married with a little 2yr old daughter.....the other, Apple another beautiful woman who played piano

    Ina way that brought tears to my eyes. Now, Camillegal you tell me about an acquaintance of yours.......where's Granny .........I need a whole STREAM of curse words.



    We all wonder also if we have made the right choices re our treatments. I think we have to have faith in our doctors and ourselves and not look back.....the "what if" is just wasted energy.



    Ok Scottie STFU now because you are starting to rant.....I'll leave that for Granny ❤

    Chevy - Granny's new made is Her Royal Highness Kantalope.  LOL!  

    You don't have to be sorry for being profound.  Your words rang home.  There will always be doubts - did we really do the right thing?  Only heaven knows.  As long as we are hear and fighting to stay that way, well then, we did do the right thing of each of us.  I have heard it said many times before, we are all individuals and each one of us has our own unique treatment plan.

    Now where in the hell is Her Highness????

    Her royal highness is right here.damn i feel like a queen now.lol.Queen kantalope...i like the sound of that...thanks chevy!!!

    ok no more bold letters..kk?I was workin in my apt today.if i put this damn puter on i never get anything done...so im here now....nothing to rant about except Apple...yeah i knew her....such a beauty and so young.I cut up an apple and put it in my water bottle every day...now when i do that ill always think about her.

    I made a lot of mistakes at the begining of this rough road.wrong dr,wrong surgery etc..but in the end all tourned out fine.Im here and thats all that matters.

    Im really not in a fighting mood today...sooo the ranting and raving just might have to wait a day or so...not longer for sure.My DD called and i finally told her about all the cursing i did about her father...she asked me if i thought it would be a good idea if he came from fla.to see his son.I said yes and i would even be nice to him.This is about my son and no one else....something came over me that im just la de da...what ever!!!!

    I promise all of you this wont be for long as my switch from the timebomb is on off right now...one day at a time.

    Chevy do you remember when i told you to go off the tammy?

    JO do you remember when i wanted to sue the first dr?

    we came a long way baby....sooooooo if you want me to say STFU I will cause i still hate that first dr.He can now kiss my royal ass.remember im royalty...

    does anyone know if the Queen curses????bet she does...so im allowed now right.

    ok...STFU with all this bullshit about bc is no big deal anymore.I just wanna say to any dr.that says its not a big deal tell that to you F mother,wife or sista...its a big deal to all of us.

    gotta go see how the rest of my sistas are doin....ill be back.

    I was the one that started the royal highness stuff - not Chevy and no I do not want to kiss your ring - LOL!  You are so funny.  Yes, I do remember when you wanted to sue that first doctor.  I still don't know why you didn't.  He deserved it.

    Good morning gals!  Oh Jo, you got her goin'!  Now she'll never let us rest....Wink  You made her a royal highness?  I told her she acted like she thought she was a little princess or something....  Ha,ha!

    Kiss your ring?  Okay, okay.... whatever will shut you up....but that's ALL I'll kiss... She is so NEEdy!   And yes, DH and you said just quit taking the Tamoxifen.  I was so afraid.... Afraid that if I stopped, that cancer was just waiting for me, and afraid NOT to quit because both ears couldn't hear much of anything.   But somewhere down the line, you start to think maybe THEY don't know everything!  And it's like I said, you just have to figure out what is best for us, and our choices...

    Man, HRHK... I thought at one time you were going to let LOOSE on that team of yours!  And maybe you should have, but isn't it funny how "time" just helps us all out?  You wanted to sue, I wanted to sue SOMEone, but it would have taken just way too much effort.....  And there was no way that you and I, being just little people, could have changed anything.  So we were there for each other.... like when your GS was in that awful accident.  We just get to go through things together.....  like now.  We're still here.

    And I think that would be so beautiful, if you could find peace with letting your X be with his Son....  What the hell came over you little K?   You have to know, that your Son, and Daughter would want to see each other.  It's between them, little honey.....  I know how you feel, but just talking to him, and letting things slide, at least for now, would be the best thing for all of you.  Damnit!   You don't have to dredge up the past, or hit him over the head with a cast-iron skillet for what he has done........  Just start from now.... So many things go on in our lives.... but we can learn to hate that it happened, but be thankful that we got past it.  Oh God, there she goes being profound again.

    And kiss your ring?  Are you NUTS?  Geez, give her an inch......... 

    It is so COLD out!  Like 6 degrees.  Lacee loves to sleep out there in her dog house, but when I saw she came in about 10:30 I blocked off her dog-door so she would keep her furry butt IN the house!   She is a little Sheltie, and has that double-coat, but you wouldn't THINK she could stay out in THIS weather! 

    I brushed her yesterday, and picked her up ....then wrapped my fleece hoodie around her, and held her.... and then I laid her down & covered her with blankets and she STAYED there for about an hour, Ha!    Now THERE is a real Princess....Wink 

    Sorry Camille and Scottiee... we just feel so much empathy for all of us now....  I found this with Apple playing the piano...  but we know she is with the Angels now...

    Chevy - You know it doesn't take much to get her highness going.  Kiss her ring?  Are you out of your every loving mind?  No way in hell.  LOL!  We love her anyway.

    I have gone back and forth on this issue of taking Tamoxifen.  I just came off a 3 week break and now I know why I went off.  I hate my joint hurting and feeling like crap.  To take it or not to take it.  That is the million dollar question.  Whether we do or not, it is a total crap shoot.  I have read many stories that women have been taking it for the entire 5 years and that damn beast is waiting to pounce after the last pill it swolled.  There really is no right answer other than the drug companies continue to make money.

    Princess Lacey has the right idea.  I could snuggle up with her.  It is 49 degrees here which is cold for us.  Cold, drizzle - just a funky day.

I will not be graphic but it was not good. Lost 5 pounds. I am off work again today. I want to scream UNCLE. I hope this is the last day in bed until surgery. My dh woke me up every few hors on sat and sun to drink and eat a little something. Guess I am lucky. He has been a trooper!!! I am going back to sleep. Bye :(

    Kassylou. So sorry.....hoping for a quick recovery.



    Yeah....the QUEEN....where is she???? Kiss my ring...hmm....Granny is more of a "kiss my ass" gal as far as I'm concerned......lol...



    Camillegal....I think we don't want to know what her Highness is taking....



    Chevyboy....OMG....she's adorable.....too bad we don't live near one another, I would be begging you to let me dog sit. I have been thinking that when I retire, I want to get a little

    dog, but I live on the 22nd floor and the thought of going up and down all the time with the dog, well I don't know....will have to give that one a lot of thought.



    Going for my test results on Wed. Mammo and u/s so I also want whatever Granny, I mean her Royal Highness is taking....lol
