Chicago Haven't seen you in a few. Hope all is ok with you and yours. I wanted to try to hike this weekend, but it was awfully humid in the northeast. I'm waiting for the fall temps they keep taking about. Instead I am one step away from being completely done in the basement. I bet the trash men wont be happy third trash day in a row jam packed!! Hugs to you! Hope you had a good weekend! Hugs
Scwilly~ hope all is ok with you. How are your feet?? any better with the ointment? I hope they aren't as sore as last week! Thinking of you guys.
Much love to all. Maybe we will have an appearance from our girl Nan this week. Fingers crossed. She's been so busy with the wedding, she must be worn out!
Mae ~ I have to watch my episode of American horror story. I wondered did they actually play the first season on television ? With all those sexual cituations ? In television and the nudity with lady GA GA. That was some hard core stuff, I haven't seen her In this season. I wonder if she isn't doing it anymore. I had heard Lena Dunham would be joining the cast this season. I only saw lady Gaga three or four times in the Roanoke season. She was the mother. But very limited compared to the prior season with the hotel cortez, that season was awesome ! The jury is still out on this one!! What do you think ?? Hugs to biggie boy! Much love. ~M~
Claudia~you ok after your fall sweetheart? Love you worried about that fall. Sometimes pain is deffered, keep an eye on that !
Keetmom~ how did your packers do? Still haven't seen how the eagles did. Hugs to the girls !

Micmel, the 1st season of American Horror was awesome (the best IMO) and while there were sexual situations, there may have been less nudity due to the fetish style rubber bodysuit worn by the young male lead. So far, I'm enjoying this one.
Starting my last week of rads, yay!
I'm going to be on the edge of my seat Wednesday

Mae~lmao. I just sent that to my DD who watches it with me every week! It is one of our favorite shows. She is cracking up lol. That's awesome. Thanks for the laugh. I have to catch up on last nights American horror. I tried to get to sleep early, but it never works with Jon snow and Game of thrones, I don't want that to be over, I am hooked. I usually watch it the day after, so I have something to watch! Glad you're enjoying this season, I do always like the show, the scenes with Lady Gaga were very nude like and raw, And some pretty heavy scenes. I didn't know that FX showed nudity. I guess I never thought of it until now. Congrats to you on your last week of radiation. That's awesome ! You're a trooper. For sure ! Hope your dinner with friends was a good time.
Keetmom~ I hope he steps up soon also. If he doesn't, I don't think he's going to like the outcome very much at all. I am not In the business of having grown children around, who won't chip in and help and do their parts in the house, seems really simple. Do chores pay this amount monthly. Or else. It won't be working out too good for you. In the end he'll end up working more loosing his chance at school, and paying triple what he does now. It's a very difficult topic for me. Because I love him. But I also cannot enable him. Ya know ? Hugs to the girls and you.
Much love ~M~

I think I've lost my mind. Lol all this time I had thought that American horror was on Sunday nights. Wasn't it on last year on Sundays ? Since I never watch them that immediate day I never know when it's on, now I am realizing that they moved it to Tuesday's. Ok I'm firmly back on earth. Lol duh! ~M~. Anyone else regularly loose their minds ? Chemo brain?

I am astonished at how one second things can change. I last night was texting with my closest brother. Like we do all the time. This morning like maybe 15 mins ago my SIL calls and says he has had a heart attack this morning. And is in ICU. I'm sitting here shocked and so filled with worry. He lives in Arizona, so far from me. I can't even see him. Makes me so mad. I am financially and physically not able to travel. I feel like a wave has hit me and left me here in its wake. I have no words. He's only 57. way to young for this to be happening, just like we said about me. 47 way to young for this to be happening. I am in such shock. I hope he can pull this out of his hat and be ok. They are talking pacemaker now. Which makes me feel a little better. He made it through and is being watched close! I still feel like it's A dream. So upset. 😰😭💔

Michael, I am sorry to hear the news about your brother. I know it is upsetting, but try to focus on the fact that the doctors and nurses in ICU are well-trained to care for people who experience a medical crisis like your brother's. It is good news that they are considering a pacemaker. I know that it is painful to be unable to see him right now, but once he is out of ICU and stabilized, you can call him. You will feel better once you hear his voice. He knows you are thinking about him. I am praying for his quick recovery.
Hugs and prayers, Lynne

Micmel- so sorry to hear about your brother. Maybe you can Skype call (or other similar technology) when he gets out of ICU. Sounds like he is in good hands.
It has been a weird year of health issues for people I know, but I ran into a friend who is a cardiologist who said I wish more people were having heart disease instead of cancer- we can fix that more often!
0 -
NKB~ that's a good point about the cancer. He apparently was conscious which is a good thing. A pacemaker would make everyone feel better, that way he can be monitored daily. Just so sudden. We were texting last night and he told me he felt badly. Thought it was the flu. That is some scary stuff. They have said it can mimic the flu. Then the pains come, his wife said it came on quickly. It has been a crazy two years for us with health issues. My mother fell. This happened to me. Now my brother.
Lynne~I hate being far apart from him. It drives me crazy. This year has sucked out loud. Right along with the last two years. I talked to his wife and she told him that I loved him and I heard him speak back that he loves me too. I am just feeling The helpless feelings we get when we are helpless! Thank you both for the kind words. It meansa lot. You're all such lovely women, i hope your day Is a good one!
Much love ~M~

.......I am not much of a big prayer. I do believe in positive thoughts and good thoughts of mind. But when something like this happens....and you don't understand....you're left all confused....needing a little hand....i am choosing to believe that things will be alright....because those are the thoughts....that get me through the nights.....for my brother!!! I Iove you!! ~M~0 -
Micmel-So sorry to hear about your brother. Hoping they are able to put in the pacemaker and that he has a full recovery. Peace to you and your family.

Micmel,very sorry to hear about your brother! Thank goodness he got to the hospital where he will be receiving good care. Pacemakers are very effective. Life is certainly a fragile thing and we never know what it will bring to us. It hurts when bad things happen to our loved ones. Please keep us posted. Stay cool... I agree, the humidity was horrendous this weekend and not much better today. I want some nice cool weather!!

Chicago~thank you very much! We are very close and I am feeling distressed and helpless! He lives too far away, and so des my mother. Both have health issues this year that have shown through. Along with mine. It's upsetting. Thanks so much for the kind words! ~M~
0 -
Mae~Thank you my friend. Very much. Need all the good vibes possible. He sounded so weak 😞💔!
Lynn~thanks so much. It does throw us for a loop when it's our closest people. I'm learning as we get older it seems to happen more and more. Which makes sense. I'm just feeling anxious. Need to be helping and I can't. Sucks. I am like mama bear with my family. Even though I am younger. I am the feisty one. The fighter. The honestly brutal one. But the most loyal as well! My family means the world. As we all know. And feel about our families of course. But some of my family need some psychiatric help! My brother isn't One of them ! He is one of the good guys! Thanks again !! So much!!
Much love ~M~

Lynne~Thank you very much for reaching out. I often think that having cancer changes everyone's lives. For the family. But IMO I believe that I can spend time now telling everyone how very important they are to me, but when something like that happens, you hear that phrase your life flashes before you, no one knows for sure what the days bring. It just scared me, because usually the ones that come out of no where are the worst because, you stop And immediately think of the last thing you said or the last time you talked. Sometimes you don't always get to say goodbye, I Am hoping he is strong enough to get well and makes changes to his life to prevent it from happening again. Nice to see you here. Thank you for your kind thoughts and words.
Much love ~M~

Micmel- You hit the nail on the head about making sure that your loved ones know they are loved and you have their backs. You are their safety net should they need one. I feel so sad to hear people say they didn't know DH, or mom or someone else loved them! When a friend's DH told me how much he adored her-but, never told her!!
Now I am much more aware to offer concrete help, (I can give you a ride to chemo, I can buy take-out food, pick your kids up at school etc) not just say call me if you need anything. When DH wasn't available for one of my chemos, I thought of the two people who had specifically said they would take me if I needed. I send more cards, little gifts if I know it would be fun to receive. Make an effort to be kinder, to offer help, reassure.
But, your brother's experience is what I meant by we are all living scan to scan metaphorically.

I remember when my Dad had his heart attack, he told me life was very fleeting! It certainly is! I am just so thankful that he is ok!! Still worried, about him. Just hoping the next 24!to 48 goes smoothly. Much love ~M~
0 -
Was lucky enough to receive a pretty coherent text from my brother saying , since the blockage was removed, he felt better but was exhausted and they said the next 24 to 48 hours are the most important, hopefully it won't happen again. This has been a day full of emotion. I am wiped out, I noticed some aches and pains today in my back. Sure hope it's from all the lifting I have been doing! With cleaning my basement and bringing up 35 bags of trash! ItDoes feel muscular! Everyone have a great night! Much love ~M~

Good morning Ladies~ hope everyone slept well. I didn't sleep too great. Still worrying and hoping all remains stable over night for my brother. Getting older and seeing people you love deteriorate in front of your eyes right along side with you. Just in different ways. Is so hard. I am estranged from a large portion of my family. Like they say. You can't choose your blood. My father and I used to be close. Until his wife, my step monster got her claws out and tried to tell me how to live in my marriage before the divorce. So I told her off in so many words and I haven't spoken with her since. Flash forward 14 years. My dad is old and feeble, he doesn't even care about living. He's a miserable old man now, alone while the monster spends all the money, his saved money, on trips every month, while his health isn't good at all. This woman had leukemia, almost met her maker, had chemo, the entire gammot of treatments. Just like me. Wouldn't you think she would feel some sort of sadness and understanding?Uh nope! Sometimes family is the worst offenders, they sure do take advantage of things, if they don't really acknowledge what's going on. Like my son, who had the talk, but still has yet To walk the walk! Much love ~M~

Micmel, I totally get it about the family issues. My husband had always had a strained relationship with his parents. They were users and he couldn't see it, gave them money, time, house repairs, etc. they came to him for everything and treated me like shit. It wasn't until I got Cancer in 2008 that he finally had his eyes opened. They totally ignored my illness, surgery, etc. never asked about me or even asked him how he was coping. He finally cut all ties with them and peace came into our life. His mother passed away a couple of years ago, we read about it in the paper. He did not attend the funeral, on that day we went and adopted ours rescue cats. He said he felt like he wanted to do a good deed on that day. Glad your brother is coming along. He will be weak and tired for some time and have to slowly build his strength back up. I so remember my dad needing 2 of us to get him out of the carwhen he came home after his heart attack .

Lynn~ yes indeed it's a tangled web the family can weave. It's odd because before my DH #2, I never imagine not having them in my life. But now it's been so long I honestly don't even blink an eye. I speak to my mother and my one brother who just had his attack. The others tried to cry the blues of the sorries after I was diagnosed. Some tears and apologies, but inside they are still the People that chose to behave that way. So I said oh ok. Well I'm not looking for a reunion or anything. Learned that hard lesson. They don't say a leopard doesn't change his spots for nothing. But I am also realizing that, mainly with my son. Since my diagnosis, he's been different. Distant. And I don't know why. It's almost like he doesn't care. It's kinda shocking because he's always been a mommas boy 100%%. Baffling to me honestly. And if I'm honest very hurtful. Makes me very saddened!! I am sorry for the way you have been treated also. I can totally relate to that. My DHs family was actually more upset and worried than my own. (Not mom or bro or even kids, I know that it upsets then but I think they are still in major denial). Much love ~M~

Had my talk finally with DS, hopefully his new attitude and said understanding of what is expected of him. Three strikes and you're out! I could see him twisting in the wind for two weeks, with no contact with mom. He was feeling uneasy. But tough love sometimes has to happen. Being a parent is the hardest thing I have ever done.
Mae ~ I somehow missed two episodes of GOT. So I went and watched. Malesandra brought back my Jon Snow!! She is useful for somethings other than always being nude. How scary it was to see her naked as a 100+ year old. Eeeekk. Lol. Hope you're killing your stepping this week. Go girl !! Hugs
Hope everyone is ok, another too warm day for me here. I am so sick of the humid weather, why is it, When summer is officially over, It gets hotter. So weird how that works!!! Much love ~M~

I know some of you have been on ibrance before perhaps? Did you ever get a terrible sore mouth. Like you ate pizza that was way too hot and the cheese burned your entire mouth.? It's my week off and it's still burning, it really hurts and eating is a challenge! I have biotin and every mouth wash to help, and it does,. But It really is annoying the heck out of me. It's not enough it seems! Ok I Am done complaining! Hope everyone has had a good day. Quiet on the boards today!
I signed up for the in-person user testing in Ardmore that the moderators are advertising for the community, for me it's about an hour drive. So I am going to participate, I am looking forward to seeing the new format they are proposing! It would be so nice to meet some of you, if anyone is local that would be something else! I know you're all not very local. But it would be an awesome opportunity to meet others who are dealing everyday, but a different thing to do to get me out of the house. I hope they get a good number of people !
Much love ~M~

Get some magic mouthwash it works wonders....
Nothing exciting here another day over, we are getting hot here again...hate it being this hot when kids are in school...no AC at school...keeping it low at home so it is comfortable when they get home.
Having lunch with a college friend/roommate who just had surgery for thyroid cancer tomorrow so looking forward to that..0 -
Keetmom~ I did get that last time I was at my palliative care doctor. I used it one time and it felt like Novocain, and I drooled like a fool. Maybe I'll try it again. It can't hurt. I also didn't like the way it made me feel like I would gag when swallowing. Some made my throat feel funny. Maybe I used too much? I can agree with the heat showing up again. Annoying and I feel for the kids. I remembered when we didn't have it either. I look back now and wonder how the heck we made it through okay. I remember my legs sticking to the chairs. Yuck! I hope you have a great time with your friend, that is very cool that you can be there for your friend!
Sleep tight!! Much love ~M~

Hi all, another busy day at work and lunch with my former boss, a former coworker and a current one to catch up on things, we mostly talked about the hurricane flooding. #27/30 rads, only 3 left, which is good because my skin is very red and sore in spots. Nothing else new for now.
Any update on your brother? Hope all is well
0 -
Took a walk with my step brother to the Bonsai garden here. He was amazed since he works on his own bonsais- then lunch- very nice. Super good for him cause he does 24/7 care giving to his sickly and very cranky wife.
Micmel- try warm water gargles with baking soda and or salt. cuts down on the bacteria in your mouth and helps the sores- like 3-4 times per day. I also discovered that I had a problem with sodium lauryl sulfate which is a detergent in almost all toothpastes. causes sores and sore red places. I stopped it and my mouth is so much better. Sensodyne pronamel doesn't have it and toothpastes in health food stores don't- but, Tom's mostly does. got to read the box, not the tube to find it. worth a try.

Good evening Micmel,
I have been married 38 years and am 60 my husband is 67. We have 16 grandchildren and a loving relationship. Cancer coming back was always something that we were both aware of but neither of us would dwell on it. Now that it's here, even with all the time we've spent together, all the water under the bridge, happiness, sadness, LIFE. I am still jealous of another woman being with him after my demise.
That's another part of love. I want my children/grandchildren to have the inheritance that we both worked for. I think and trust that he will make intelligent decisions but I have written a will just in case.
I am comforted by the hope and prayer that we will be reunited in heaven. If he's there with another woman I know that God will make it alright.

Mae~thank you for asking about my brother, I am pleased to say that he called me tonight and we talked for about 10 mins. Didn't want to wear him out. But told him how I feel about him. He said they are still talking pace maker....they are still closely monitoring him. They did say if he didn't get there timely. He wouldn't have survived. That is a scary thing to hear. Had he gone back to sleep instead of going to the hospital like he wanted to, he wouldn't be here. So thanks for the good thoughts and good vibes. Glad you spent some time with your co workers. That's always nice, catching up can be fun. I am sorry to hear your skin is sore, is there anything that you can put on it, like that silver cream for burns? That helped me when I burned my hand badly. Almost there Mae, only three more days. I am amazed at how well you are sailing through this. So glad.
NKB~thank you for the suggestion for my mouth. I have to try something to ease up the pain. Not enjoyable. I have never seen a bonsai garden. Been to a big garden place before but they didn't have bonsai or I missed it. Sounds very peaceful to me. I hope your step brother enjoyed his time with you!! Nothing like lunch out with family. Someone close to me,. Just brought me over another tooth paste tonight. I'm going to look at the box. It doesn't have alcohol in it, or fluoride, but I need to check. I do like a sensitive toothpaste because my teeth can't handle coldness. Really is uncomfortable! Thanks again for the suggestions. Hope everyone has a good nights sleep ! Much love ~M~
Claudia~ you ok? Been a few days!! Hope your fall hasn't given you any problems. Hope you're doing ok.
Nan~ Glad the wedding was all you wanted it to be and much more. Can wait to see the photos!

Micmel, when I use the magic mouthwash I put it on a q tip and apply directly to the sore area. It has helped me a lot. I had a couple of months there where I had some bad mouth ulcers but that seems to have passed.
0 -
Micmel-So great that you got to talk to your brother tonight-what a close call he had.
When I started Ibrance my mouth got very sore so I started eating Greek yoghurt every day. I eat it with the meal that I take my Ibrance and it completely did the trick. Have you tried that? I am so paranoid about it that I eat yoghurt every day, even when I'm on my off week.
Sweet dreams to everyone.

Good morning ladies ~. I am going to try some of those things for my mouth, thing is, this is my week off and I want to feel better, before I start again round #11, I would like it to heal because it will just start all over again and carry over month to month. So annoying, but I'll take it to continue to be stable and continue on This medicine that is working for me!!
I have seen such hooplah and actually madness over the upcoming month of October and it being breast cancer awareness month. I never really even gave too much thought on this topic before now. The whole pink for Boobies campaign for awareness is freaking people out, I can't say that I am a big fan of bringing attention To my boobs, and I have never liked the color pink, since the day I was diagnosed, but for Young girls, pink is everything. I don't like associating any color with sickness. But the money that's raised is important, so how do you raise money without some gimmick?. Time and time again. Year after year? I just never realized how that made so many people mad. I have to admit some of the advertising I have seen, does make you scratch your head some. What do you guys think ?
Much love ~M~

Tanya~ welcome to our little place!! I know the feeling that love brings to you when you know you have your person. I can't imagine someone else loving him. He's my other half and my best friend. I am so envious that you have that many grand children. I am so hopeful that the medicines they have now, that I have a sliver of any hope of seeing a grand child. They must bring you such joy!! I can't even imagine how complete that would make my life! Although I certainly would never rush them to have that happen before they were really ready. That could be very bad. Especially for my son, it seems the boys are slower to mature. I wonder why that is? Could it have something to do with being a mamas boy? After 38 years of being married to one person , I am not sure that anyone could ever take your place. My DH is only 52 and he has already said , once you find that person, how can you even allow someone else to enter his heart, the entire process of building that trust and bond isn't something he wishes to even bother with. He said it's like one and done. Although, I would not want him to be lonely. It's such a hard topic. That still crushes me daily. Good thing for anti depressants! They are helping tremendously! Hope you'll come around and join us at the table here in our little pub. Anything that you need to say, vent , share, anything t all. We are here to listen. We have a nice group of wonderfully strong smart women!! You should fit right in. Hugs !!
Much love ~M~

Good morning ladies! Tonga, it was so nice to read your story about you and your Dh, 30 years Wow! That is great! I completely understand that jealous feeling when you think of your Dh moving on after you are gone. I try very hard not to think about it, but I am very aware of the fact that he is only 56, so it could very well happen. Like you, I was concerned about the money, so I put everything I could into a trust for my grandchildren. My ds and dil are doing fine, so I wanted the money to go to our 2 grandsons. I can't even wrap my head around 16 grandchildren. Wow! How do you remember all their names and birthdays? I bet you have huge holiday gatherings at your house! Now that I would love! Glad to see you hear!
Micmel, so sorry to hear about your brother. Sending prayers your way. All seems to be healing from my fall. Like keetmom, just keeping busy with everyday life. We have a lot of little things that need to be taken care of before our trip.
Mae, glad you are handling read well!
Nan, the wedding?
Waving hi to everyone else!
Hugs and prayers everyone
Claudia

Claudia~So glad that you're here! I was worried that your fall had some problem occur! I can understand getting ready for your trip, can be time consuming. But also exciting! You're amazing to think you'll be riding horses! I don't know if my bones could take it!! Did you tell your oncologist that you're taking a few weeks off? I know you mentioned you weren't sure if he would agree or not! I hope you have a blast and make some good memories, you are something else ! When will you be leaving? Just be safe! Hope the cleanup is officially complete!! Much love ~M~
I talked to Nan, she had a blast and her DD looked amazingly beautiful, she is going to be posting soon. She is recovering and having some blood, she's been non. Stop moving. But sounds happy and strong!!

All of my grandchildren are a gift and hold a special place in my heart. Five of them live across the street from us. After my daughters divorce they lived with us for two years. It was stressful for my husband but I enjoyed all the hustle bustle and noise of kids. Since they moved out last year my youngest granddaughter visits almost daily. Her twin brother follows sometimes to see if she is getting any goodies, of course I have goodies lol. I appreciate the love, concern and care.
I will try the Greek yogurt for the mouth sores. They just started this month and I've read a lot about them.
Any tips.
I was feeling really negative last night and feel much better this morning. I'm grateful for the group.

So I go out to grab some lunch and I come back to my dog, standing over my pack of ibrance. He jumped up on the end cap of my entertainment center.
Luckily, this has been my week off, and they were empty. I certainly will be moving the location of the pills for the next months cycle. I am not sure if he thought they were food. I know they don't smell well. But I was worried for a Split second, that he ingested some of them, which I am sure would not be good thing for my dog! Having dogs is sometimes worse than the toddlers! Much love~M~
Mae~ watched American horror getting weirder and weirder. But I'm liking it. I like Evan Peters! He's crazy good! Not seeing too many returning people this season! I miss Jessica Lange she was the Diva, but I did see Emma Roberts in the previews!

Tanya~ I know exactly how you feel. I have great days, and others I am hit with the reality and fears. I have made some close friends here and I know that somedays, this place has been my saving grace. Sharing stories, sharing anger, sharing good times and happy things that make our world go around. I can only imagine the feeling I would have seeing one of my grand children bopping up to our home!! I would love the chance to give them showers of love and memories. Having them live across the street would be something story books are made of. Once again. Welcome and glad you're here. Hugs ~M~

Had lunch with one of my college roommates today, we came up with 6 people in our group of friends who have had cancer already, (we are 47) and this is in the people we still have contact with...blows me away..
0 -
Keetmom~I sometimes wonder if it could be our food. Who knows what they do to it before we even have it reach the grocery stores. Or environmental? I am not a bad or heavy eater, and I was very physically fit when I was diagnosed. I can't imagine what else it could be, when it seems like so many people are effected. I am sorry that six friends are dealing with this. As we know, it's a roller coaster, that's why I want to live now, while I feel good! Just endless fatigue. Hope you had a good time with your classmate! Hugs ~M~

Keetsmom- It does seem like so many people have cancer. My mom (who got esophageal cancer, and breast cancer) told me that no one in her family had ever gotten cancer before- her mom died at 94 and her dad at 98 without cancer. Where is it all coming from?
Many years ago there was a report saying that if we moved to an area with really low breast cancer rates and lived there a long time our breast cancer risk would be the same as theirs (low) if they moved from a low breast cancer country to ours and lived here a long time theirs would increase to our rate. That makes me think that it is environmental- but, what are the toxins?
I was at a party recently talking to a person I had never met (no one at this party knew I have cancer) we were talking about art-out of the blue she said "and everyone has cancer" Before I could think of a reply it was announced that the cake was ready. I don't know what I would have said, but, obviously everyone is noticing all this new cancer.

I've been thinking a lot lately about pinktober. The month of October is SECC (State Employees Chartiable Campain) and each year my group makes and sells breakfast tacos with the profits going to the charity of our choice. We had an employee pass away earlier this year from lymphoma and I will be putting my still baldish head front and center to get the most money I can out of people, shameless in my pursuit of donations, lol. Haven't decided who the check will go to yet though.
Bigbhome, I don't recall a fall or a trip, sorry. Well, glad you're healing and have fun!
Tanya, welcome and yeah, 16 grandkids, wow!
Keetmom, that certainly sounds like a cancer cluster, wonder what the connection is.
Micmel, tonight is the Big Brother finale. I'm ready! Also, yes American Horror is on Tuesday this year (previously on Wednesday) but we watch it at my house on Sunday night.
0 -
Well and we all had different kinds of cancer, 2 I don't know, 2 breast, 1 lymphoma (I think) and thyroid, the thyroid cancer sounds like she grew up in a cancer cluster, and all over years not all at once...still interesting, and there are people who we aren't in contact with anymore...

I believe there is something to the food and environmental issues. It's just increasing too much. When I watch the traffic, that comes and goes In the cancer centers. It's like a deli counter. You line up waiting for a chair and sometimes you take a number. There are so many people who have cancer, and they are turning up younger and younger. There is really an increase of detections in women under 50, even as to say young women in their 20's. It's quite scary because now my DD has an increased risk just because I have it. No one in my family has really ever had cancer, my aunt had lung cancer , but she was never without a cigarette, and she died way too young. But that was it. Both sides, nothing. Just me and I Am the youngest of four kids, doesn't make sense none! Hugs ~M~

Mae~ very sorry about your co worker, that is never easy, I think that whenever you can raise money for a good cause it should be done. Most times there is so many charities and donations wanted, the companies themselves have to keep the campaigns bigger and better Than the next, in order to keep them in the light and making sure they get the most donations and attention. I try not to pay attention to the hooplah. But I have had some wonderful people help me as well since I've been sick. I am very greatful for any awareness to metastatic breast cancer and how the struggle is difficult. Any little bit helps. I don't really like pink anyway. But I am not going to complain about fund raisers, if in anyway I would end up benefitting from it, I would be a hypocrite! Rest well. Big brother finale! Starting now! 2 hours ! Hope I make it. ~M~

I Just got off the phone with my brother. I am amazed at the hospitals these days seriously. He had a major heart attack and three stents put in on Monday very early morning. They released him today. It's Wednesday!!! That's not even a full three days. They will just patch you up and send you walking with your new stents and all. I cannot imagine being in ICU on Monday and being released on Wednesday. To me that seems awfully rushed. Even scares me. I would think that they would be watching him a little longer to make sure that he remains stable, and or any signs of infection. He did mention rehabilitation starting in a little over a week, it's all just so fast to me. The good things is he's seeing a nutritionist next week. I was thinking that may be a good idea for myself. I would really like to understand more about a good diet. I am a bird eater. I really only eat two meals a day with one snack. But I would prefer smaller meals,ones that are healthy. More balanced. Let's say. But I am thankful that my brother is home. What a scary thing,. I could hear the fear in his voice. Life is so precious sleep well everyone ~M~
