    Oh Mary, that made me so happy to read that! No one has an "expiration date" stamped on their forehead. So many people have been given a prognosis that they most defintely outlasted. So here is to many YEARS of showing the doctor how wrong he/she was! For all of my Stage IV sisters, that is my hope for you. xo

    You guys are sssoooooooFUNNY, It was a dark an stormy night, oops wrong story. It was dark, I decided to sit up and his head was coming done. We clunked foreheads. For me it was right above the spot where they did the bone hole for brain surgery. It hurt, but we laughed hysterically. Until the morning and I was listing to starboard(left?). Now know I stirred those crystals, Should have added WHAT?

    Ah geez April!  Yes, you silly thing!  Isn't that Motel 6?  How do YOU know so much about it?  Hmmm????? 

    Oh Mary!  Perfect!  Yes.... it's only a number, right?  Only a stage.... we don't care for stages.... I remember one time I had to paint a mural for a play when I was in grade-school.  I remember fainting going down the steps....  ..  No.... I don't like stages.

    So ah-HAH Sassy!  Next time just lay there.... damnit!   Your forehead.... I would have cried, instead of laugh!  

    Maybe we need a girls-night out!  I mean seriously!  I'll see if those same guys are busy....  get back to y'all later! xoxoxoxoxo

    Today I had an appointment with the Gyno, who will be removing my overies at the request of my Onco. In scheduling the surgery the nurse was reading the standard questionaire to me. the last question, was "do you have any other major health issues" I had to laugh, "um yes, I have breast cancer." She laughed and appologized. It must be so common to them to just read them off that it's just done. After all she knew I have breast cancer.

    Hi, been away on a short vacay with my DDs families...now catching up.  I appreciate each and every one of the candid posts that bring us all to a place of feeling so less alone in our pain.  Better than 2 months of therapy....I can relate to so much.  I was one who stayed...but still not sure why.  Just easier, I guess.  One thing for sure....we will always have peaks of joy and valleys of darkness.  It's staying on the even keel looking straight ahead that I try to do.

Ducky IF YOU NEED ANYTHING CALL ME AND I WILL COME OVER....and bring you whatever you need, we are 20 min apart and I am in your area often.....I know you have kids but dont hesitate..

    Ah Geez Princess!  I was about to send in the rest of the Hooligans! 

    Yes, Red is in the midst of a hospital take-over.  We have to be on our best behavior so they will let her go...

     

    We are all going to gang-up on that team of hers, for telling her such a nucking futs THING!!!   I hope she flipped them off, on her way out.... IF they let her go!

     

    Sorry about your empty mouth...  It's hard to talk, Ha!  I KNOW, because when I take my top plate out, I not only LOOK empty and stupid, I SOUND it!

    Hope your gastro-guy gets you straightened out...  Tell him your options now run into either dynamite or a bull-dozer.  See if he gets the picture.  

     

    If you can't chew, how can you possibly eat food?  You would think soft, like baby food, would blaze right through you.... NO?  Just let us know what he says..... otherwise we'll have to take matters into our own hands....  WE, the hooligans will go shopping.... WE will come up with warm milk, Ex-lax, Milk of Magnesia, Castor Oil, a 10 pound bag of prunes, and a 2 liter of prune juice.    THEN see what happens.

     

    Good Lord Ducky.... We leave you alone for a minute and you fall to pieces... (Isn't that a song or something?)   Ducky.... seriously... Make a Wal-mart run.... get some Aloe-Vera juice.... in a gallon jug.  Drink about 1/2 C a day 3 times a day mixed with any kind of juice or tea.  I promise that will help at least ONE of the things wrong with you.  I had a bleeding ulcer also.... and honest, it worked! 

     

    Shells!  You little instigator you!  That was such a cute picture of Granny K!    If I DIDn't get her riled up, she would just sit there and mope!  She would turn into a cranky little turd.  She would just chew gum and eat chocolate covered peanuts.... shutting herself off from the world....  So that's my job.

     

    Rays!  WHAT?  You are giving up your ovaries?  Oh well.... maybe you don't need them anymore?   So I'm assuming you do not have your uterus, right?  I  think they will take them as a precaution....  So you won't have any more problems..... 

    You are kind of new to all this....  But we'll help you through it...  I love your "Footprints" quote.  This was my Mom's favorite also....  And just believe all those words.  We will ALL carry you.

     

    Now little Joan.... What do you mean  you "stayed?"...  You must have been down that deep dark hole with Kantalope...  Sometimes we all have to be brought down to our knees, so we can get back up and maybe be a little stronger, or be able to face what ELSE comes our way.   I remember once, when I just couldn't go on another minute.  I dropped down on my knees, and just sobbed a river.... I hurt so much.  But THAT also eventually calmed down and I got through that day.... and then the next.... I prayed so hard at that time... I just needed help...I felt so alone.   We have all been there....  And look at me now.

    I'm just plain nuts....    I mean nucking futs!  Ha!

     

    Blondie.... You live close to Princess Kantalope?    You should go over..... liquor in one hand, what-ever smokes well, and snacks!  Sorry about the chemo....  But partying with the gals sounded so fun!

     

    And morning Cheryl!  I have such a quick mind, I'll bet you were born in 1946!  Am I right?   Don't tell me if I'm wrong....  I prefer to think I am right.  

    You are right.... NO-one knows when our time is "up."......  I prefer to think I will live forever...  and my Husband will always be there with me.  And my dog....  xooxooxoox

    Yes Ducky, it is indeed horrible. My baby (my youngest) lives within a 5 mile radius of where they cops are right now. Her best friend is in Watertown. My daughter is a prisoner in her own home as they are ordered to remain in place which I am glad she is doing. It is like a war zone. She said that cops are EVERYWHERE!

    Pray for us everyone. This has become our new reality. After Newtown, I was hoping the violence would stop for a while. But alas, it has gotten worse...so sad..so so sad

    I am going to my final set up appt today for rads which start Monday and then I will be at my Dad's house for tonight so no internet. You all behave (Chevy) ok?

    April, I would be scared too, but she is a smart woman and knows how to stay safe. Just keep texting, emailing, calling to reassure yourself she is ok and hang in there. Hopefully it will all be over soon.

    News says may have stolen a vehicle and may be headed my way to CT. All exits off I-84 are blocked off and they stopped a commuter train and searched it that was heading to NYC. YIKES...they really don't know where the f-k he is!

    Hi gals.... Yeah, I'm just watching the news also.....  It just makes you sick....  To think of that happening in ANYone's neighboryood, is unbelievable.   It's like a war-zone....  I would be so afraid!  At least they have one of the bastards.... I have faith that they will get to the bottom of all this, and make sure all that were involved will either be dead or captured. 

    I don't CARE about them.... I don't care about a fair trial, and I don't CARE if they "are innocent until proven guilty.... or if they bring them in dead or alive....  I'm hoping it's all ended for them, before there IS a trial. 

    Sorry..... but the older I get, the less patience I have.  It's all just sick.

    Don't worry little April.... Your Daughter will be okay....  Love you all..... xoxoxoxoxo

    RED checking in, got home last night about 9pm, promptly hugged the boy and the dog and passed out. Went to rads today and out for breakfast then came home and passed out again. I have days of sleep to make up for.

    Mary, your words were so encouraging, thanks so much!

    My thoughts are with all of you in the Boston area,



    Love ReD.
