Iris, in your pocket!
Molly, I was the same way! On my last visit with my RO I went down every hallway looking for "my girls" to give each and everyone an extra big hug.
Lucy, praying for your little guy! Any idea what's going on with your DGS? 🙏💜🤗
Gentle healing hugs to everyone 🤗🤗

I'm guessing it's good news that I had my one year post rads screening mammogram Wednesday evening and received no call? First mammogram, they called the next day for diagnostic. The six month follow up mammogram, they had me wait there for radiologist to read and come talk to me. I'm guessing I have to wait for results in the mail now?

I am thinking practices vary depending on the radiologist. I used to wait, but when new radiologist took over the practice, I waited for either a call or a mailed result

Agree about how terrible all this is. Hubby is London born - still has lots of relatives across the pond. He is ex-Scotland Yard and was involved in anti-terrorist work during the height of the IRA activities. While living there in the 90s, a number of times the Tube was shut down due to suspected terrorist activities and one terrible time 1 yr old daughter was with me & shopping mall we were at had to be shut down. London is a wonderful city and it so sad to see these terrorist activities happening. Prayers for all.

So sad to see a place I visited during a school trip is going through this. I loved being in London when I was there.

Hi Everyone!
Ducky, I think of Beppy every day. I've been missing her presence so much.
Octogirl and Lucy, So glad you got to meet. I want to go to Australia so badly!!!
Lucy, Prayers for your grandbaby.
Gma, Prayers. Ridiculous the bs that goes along with medical treatment.
Iris, Prayers every day.
I read all of the posts. I pray for everyone by name.
Well, last week my middle son turned 18. He is truly my heart walking here on earth. He graduates high school on June 13th. Yesterday we had a big birthday pool party for him. I love having the kids around.
My difficult oldest son, applied to and was accepted to UCLA. And now he says he wants to go to school in the Sydney area instead. I suggested that he get is BS at UCLA, then get his MS in Australia. He is so hard headed.... who knows what he will end up doing.
I saw my endocrinologist last week to discuss my thyroid. All is okay. He said he wanted another blood test, and I pulled the results of the tests my neurologist ordered. As he took the papers, he asked me "How many doctors do you have anyway?" I burst out laughing, but he was seriously thinking I see too many doctors. When I commented on my not losing any weight, he told me that my body has been through so much; give it some time, make good food choices and move more. All in time. I was so happy! I've been much more active lately. I painted the inside of our pool house. Worked outside. Cleaned everything outside to get ready for pool season.... and my son's pool party. I'm very sore, but happy that I am moving more.
I better get some sleep. Busy week ahead.

I joined the "BC club" in March and started on a winding road trip to Crazy Town almost immediately. I had been there (it's location on the ThyCa site) years ago and found myself back on the road. It's funny,sad,Crazy, but with each life changing Ca diagnosis, I need a place to visit and others who appreciate from experience the turns that bring us to Crazy Town. I found Crazy Town and immediately knew I was in a great place. I started lurking around and realized I wanted to start with the very first post and read "The Story" from the beginning. I read "War & Peace" years ago, and I feel like this Topic if published could weigh as much as that classic. Crazy Town is such a beautiful place. I have laughed and cried as I read this topic. For those of you who started at the beginning, I have my own version of the Crazy Kit. I have a set of dental mirrors to check my throat for swelling and white spots when I am sure my ThyCa is causing my throat/neck to be sore, a ruler to measure the swollen area in my right armpit in case BC has moved from my left to my right. Etc Etc. I enjoy how so many of you have formed relationships with sisters you have never met... and are so sincerely kind. I am a retired educator with two grown children. My DH and I raised them to have wings and they have flown. My oldest moved back to Fl a year ago with my four grandkids in tow. Until the BC showed its ugly head we had two of the kids as many weekends as we could at a lake cabin we have about an hour from each other's homes. Looks like I will be driving to do Rads this summer. BS thought I might do 7 weeks, but I haven't met my RO & MO yet. Time will tell

Hi Three....can I name you 3..........we are a great bunch here...but I must tell you first.....I am the oldest 82, the cutest, the funniest, the smartest, the sexiest, and I have my own Pilot who takes me anywhere I want to go, and I am also a memer of the Mile High Club.......
So you come on in, grab a chair and sit a spell......I am sad to say the Mayor of Crazytown went to be with the angels...we loved her dearly and kept this thread going in her honor.....she was a Lady amont Ladies.....the absolute best, and my Girlie and adopted daughter..(well on here anyway)....most of these ladies are all young enough to be my daughters.....which ;makes me sad......way too young, we have gained many, but have also lost many, but we carry on for them and for anyone else who needs a soft shoulder to lean on...we laugh, we cry, we vent, we discuss things that we can't discuss with others who would never understand if you have not walked the path of BC.......come sit a while.
So welcome 3.......come often....you will love it here.....

I love you Ducky!
Welcome 3! At one time I was the town chocolatier.... my contribution to your welcome basket.

Welcome 3. Since you've read the Crazy Town history, you already know how great this place is. Third time! You definitely need to relax on the Crazy Time porch.
My latest Crazy Town event was my bad boob itching.... like crazy, all of the time.... I didn't even want fabric to touch my skin. I Googled, I read everything on this site. I tried to remember which detergent I used to wash my bras. After two days, it just stopped itching. Still don't know what it was, but this entire cancer crap stinks.
Iris, I hope rads continue to go smoothly. My place ran pretty much on time and the machine only broke down once. At that time, I was just so happy to have a one day break.

PoppyK, congratulations to you and your middle boy. I am so encouraged to hear you are doing better. I like your endocrinologist!!
3, welcome to CT. Our mayor was the kindest person I have had the pleasure of meeting. We all miss her and try to keep her legacy going here. Plus we crazies need each other. You seem to fit in well. Grab a cup of hot chocolate with Ativan sprinkles and a rocking chair on the porch.

Ducky, Thank you for the Welcome. Yes, you may call me three. I love the name Ducky. I took Piano lessons from the age of 8 until I graduated from HS, from another "Ducky" from England. Your name actually brought a big smile to my face with fond memories. It is wonderful that with all your life experiences you fill such a special role in the Waiting Room. I plan on bringing Coffee and warm cookies on my next visit. Would you rather a glass of sang

PoppyK, Thank you for the welcome. The itchies are notorious evil beings. I have developed an allergy to some adhesives. I have skin cancer on my shoulder and all around the site where they took the biopsy, is a square itchie rash in the shape of the bandage they put on it at the Dermatologist. I have even tried making my own bandaids. The PA offered to give me a cortisone shot on my next visit. I may have to take her up on it. Hope you get some relief. Have you tried ice packs on the area? They sometimes help me

Welcome 3! I am the official CT hugger and the youngest here so far! I have no human kids, but my cat and dog are my kids since I have raised them since they were babies. So from time to time you might hear about my adventures with Jackson, my Sheltie and Princess, my black cat and my hubby. Princess is not the one in my avatar, that was Jackson and Princess's older brother Charcoal, who I lost to kidney failure in 2014. Here is a welcome hug for you.

Welcome 3! I'll take some Sangria! It's my favorite! I'm also starting from the beginning of this thread. I pulled up a rocking chair and a margarita yesterday and started reading and getting to know everyone from day one of Beppy's creation. I didn't start here but I got here as quick as I could! It's a wonderful place to be with so many wonderful ladies. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! I was terrified when I was told "I'm sorry but you have BC" all the girls here got me through all the craziness of the first year. My hubby promised me the world when I finished my treatments (I hope I'm finished). I picked Australia to visit Lucy next year. We've been talking about doing some road trips and I've started a list of names and where everyone lives. I may show up just about anywhere... with advanced notice of course 😜😜
Iris, hoping everything is going well with your treatments. I wish I could do them for you and give you a break cuz you sure do need one!
I'm off with my coffee to pull up a rocker and get back to getting to know everyone from the beginning. I only have a few hundred more pages to go! Everyone is welcome to join me of course as we have a huge deck and everyone will fit nicely. I have so many special places I love on our property, I told hubby I'd like a picnic table in each one. The only thing I've asked for since we started this crazy ride that he won't get me is another horse. It's only because I don't have the energy to take care of a horse right now... but someday.
This is a picture of my baby girl. I got her as a 3 year old and she's 17 this year. I miss her so very much! The little legs you see behind Missy is her new "little girl" who loves Missy as much as I do! They make a wonderful team and are cleaning up in the barrel pens all across Texas.
My coffee is waiting! Gentle healing hugs to All 🤗🤗🤗

I just had an abdominal ultrasound this morning. I have had a slight pain, heartburn and bloating with shortness of breath for over a year now. I've had two ct scans, xrays, blood work, all came back normal. I'm hoping to find an answer for my distress but I am terrified that it's the worst. I should get an answer by Friday. Arg!
