    why thank you for all the Aunti wishes, now in my family there was a discussion on how to pronounce Auntie?  is it like an Ant or more like Auntie....

    the argument was between my former BIL from Mass and me and my Pa accent!

    fortunately the pompus BIL is now a former BIL

    I've been trying to take a nap all afternoon and I keep finding things to do online. hahaha
    Ok, for sure after this post I'm going to go take some cough meds and take a nap!!

    So, here is another one. My husband was raised saying ruff. I was raised saying roof. I always tell him if it's supposed to be ruff, I want some Pruff. hehe

    How do you all say it???

    You have retained your sense of humor so far, so keep it at all costs!

    I'm a retired psych nurse, therapist and researcher. I often found staff and so-called "normal" people were full of...stupid comments which led me to wonder whether empathy was a thing of the past.

    What I do about these clowns? Sometimes I don't say anything. Sometimes I ask them if they realize what they said was insensitive. I have also simply walked away. Expect very little so you will be pleased when someone says something reasonable.

    During my first real "you have breast cancer and this is the treatment" appt I took a nurse acquaintance w me to take notes and be supportive, as I knew I wouldn't hear or remember anything that day. I was cring, yelling...you know, severely regressed, but what did people expect? She took offense at something I said about religion and I had to calm her down. What? So, don't expect much, be especially kind to those who refrain from saying stupid things and as soon as I figure out how to join chat room, I'll be there to discuss. This is a really important topi

    I guess I was one of the lucky ones........My BS was the best Dr. I have ever met....loved him from the day we met...........compassionate.....talked to me and my 6 children for 2 hours....face to face........answered questions, explained everything...........and when we were done he gave us all my alternatives........he was a Saint............he got me the best Radiation Oncologist, Mdical Oncologist, and I had the best Rads team every........I developed Lymhedema and my PT. was a cancer patient also, and was wonderful.............

    The only thing that beat me up was the AI, and as of 2 weeks ago I am done with it........after 3 12 years on Letrozole took a vacation for 3 months and tried............Arimidex........worse pill ever, worse then Letrozole.........as of today with my MO's blessing and approval..........I am done with the AI's................might be a bad decision..............but my MO said........she thought my chances of recurrence were very low, and why should I suffer the way I am with the SE's of any AI...........

    So wish me luck.......and if I made a bad choice, at least until the day comes if it ever does, I can have some QOL.......................Amen........

    But I would never do alternative medicine as my first choice.........never........I could do that as a "go along and eat well choice", but never my choice of treatment................

    Lucy you don' know what a rubber is here it is an eraser. Causes all sorts of fun that one.

    Mostly will go through the others later. You did well.

    Ducky you will be fine. Out docs here feel that we are being given too many AIs and that shorter courses would be quite sufficient.

    Big hugs.

    Shit-Fire  (Allyson **** this is a word we use in America  in the south to express -I have messed up!)

    I don't even know what an A1 is. 

    I got my first prescript for Taxmoxifen two weeks ago and I have not filled it.  Just so anti drug.

    and by the way can someone send me an acronym dictionary for cancer!!!!! ha ha ha

    I guess right about 60 % of the time - the other 40% I provide much more intriguing interprets.
