    When someone starts to stay something like this, I hold up my hand to stop them and say, "I know you have good intentions, but I listen only to stories with happy endings."  They get the message.

    Hi Millie!  Have you had your surgery yet?  And how did you do?  I read one of your posts where you said you were afraid of being put to sleep.....

    You know, that was also my biggest fear!  But I went through it like a breeze.....  Hope this helps you....  And after your surgery, maybe you'll want to post here, about your diagnosis?  That way a lot of us that have gone through the same thing as you, will be able to answer any of your questions...

    Don't pay any attention to what "normal" people say to you.... Most of them just don't know what you are feeling, and don't know how to act.... even family!   

    Click on page one of this thread, and you can read all the stupid things people have said to us... And all the reasons THEY think we got cancer...

    Sometimes we are really serious on this thread, but other times, we are just plain nuts.... Ha!  Wink

    It kind of helps with the fear, and everything we are feeling.

    A shower for Granny! 

    It's about TIME!  Ha, ha!

    I loved the email you sent!  Yes, little Kantalope.... just listen to what they say.... Take care of yourself, relax, try and stay happy.  I know you have gone through way too much for ANY one of us....  and how is your Son? 

    You really DO have things to be thankful for, even when it seems the darkest...   My hands are finally getting better..... My fingers have completely peeled.  Now I have new soft skin.....  Man, they were awful!  They looked like I held them over the fire and burned them.  Blistered, red, then they drained, cracked and peeled.... But now that part of me is almost normal...... Wink

    I have all these little gloves that I wear whenever I can....  Lots of creams and  ointments, and just trying to get over this last Eczema flare-up.  I think taking Prednisone really helped.... Too bad you can't take it all the time, because it helps with your joints.... they don't hurt!

    Okay gals....  Trying to snow again.....  I might be getting tired of this.....  xoxoxoxoox

    Hey that what my hair always looks like.hahaha Ay one point in all this crap I was not allowed to take a shower or bath for almost 3 months--were they kidding??? But I found that no rinse shampoo and body wash and it really worked wonders--no one knew, or could tell I loved that stuff and I still use the no rinse hair shampoo occasrionally when I need to. I has real suds for both so u feel kind of clean and just wipe it with a towel. It was my savior thruout and still is. I felt more in control for myself then. Just sayin......and again little things but turns into big things.

    Have a friend who's baby had hair like the picture. She went to a store where the clerk commented, Oh look! A punk baby!

    We used the dry shampoo stuff for BIL when he was quite ill. It was amazing how well it worked.

    Now the bad news......I know I worry before I should, but why would I not........my just 44 year old daughter called and told me she jus got a call from the hospital to come in and have her "friday" mammogram redone............I am sick........her 12 year old daughter is in her bathroom crying since she overheard the coversation between my daughter and her husband............God help her........I am beside myself, and can't even imagine this happening to her.........They said they saw calcifications for the first time, and need to do the mammogram over......then an ultrasound.......I can't even think straight......kids have off, so I will be going to watch them........I asked her to get her mother-in-law, and she said she would rather have me with them......she also has a 14 year old son.............God almighty.....This can't be happening..........2 weeks ago my 52 year old daughter had a lump aspirated by my BS........she never told me till the other day........that is the mother of our Groom to be.............thank God it as just a cyst.........I pray this is nothing too..............now I will STFU...........

    Dear Ducky,

    This is very, very difficult, probably harder than it was for your own self. As a mother you can't help but worry terribly. Through her dilligence in getting her mammogram, your DD  is doing everything right. As a daughter I was sooooo worried to tell my mom. Be a calm, reassuring presence for her and your precious GD and rest of family, and know that we are all here for you. I am praying for your family. 🙏

    Jeez Ducky! I am sore but I am going to live I guess. How long before I feel normal? I am so sorry to hear about your daughter... When will this crap ever end?



    Everyone else, hope all are ok, I am tired so I'm gonna take a nap.
