Divine~I think I remember that story. Those poor parents. One would think that suffering would be enough for the parents, no less have lost their privacy to a bunch of media and then the bashers always follow. The ONLY issue on Bco is this is something that keeps happening, and the person who is acting this way, more than likely doesn't even realize that is how it's being perceived. I just realized quite early on... with things like pink month and hurricanes and things that are already terrible and people have strong opinions, I just keep my mouth shut. (Not this thread) honestly I just believe it's like the yellow jackets behavior, they know their ecosystem in mid September is dying for the season.. so they buzz about and bother everyone they can find. They figure, if I'm going I'm going to try to sting your ass one more time. In this persons view, there is much anger I am sure, and sometimes spending too much time thinking about mister C... can put anyone into the depths of sorrow. I learned to stay away early, I only have so much of the tip of my nose left, from it being snapped off, I need to keep what I have left. This month always causes these types of feelings. I had already anticipated a thread being created again, to complain about BCO and fundraising... welp all I can say is I am thankful for whatever attention CaNcer period can get. No matter what type, or what month it happens to be.
Today is my estranged fathers 76 birthday today, I haven't seen him in over ten years, the last time was when he had a heart attack and he looked frail and old. I was shocked. Now I hear he's giving up and living a life sitting in a chair drinking his beer and smoking his cigarettes, which is what caused the heath issues in the first place. I just assume the next contact will be paying my Limited respects at the funeral.... that is sad and such a waste. People are rude and stubborn.. it doesn't matter who they are. I liked that there are all kinds of kinds. Very true!
Much love to you all! ~M~

Hi Micmel. Just popping in to say hello and hope your bra design will win! Will you be modeling it and posting a photo? Yes, I am kidding or maybe not...ha. Proud of your energy, your humor, your honesty. You are one special person.

Good morning
I’m sitting outside drinking tea and reading our thread.
I never much cared about the color pink until I first attended a BC walk. It was October at Jones Beach Long Island and I didn’t have a diagnosis myself at that time. I walked with my two friends both of whom had lost their moms to BC. The comaradaerie of the women was what impacted me. I felt the power was in their stride. That was 17 years ago. The BC movement has made some accomplishments with awareness, mammograms and treatment. I hope the way to a cure is in a shorter amount of time than what has passed already. The women before us endured trials with radiation, surgery, chemo., diet, etc. they got us to this place where we live now, somewhere between fear and hope. Our QOL is much better due to theirsacrifices.
I know there are people who take advantage of the pink and there’s sometimes waste but I try to remain optimistic and involved.
Good morning from the porch Micmel Sheila Mae muddling Runor Minnie Lynwood 50s girl MJH divine Gracie grannax Big b Magda anyone else I forgot.

Good morning ladies! Just reading through and Tanya’s post hit the nail on the head for me regarding pink. It is the comrodery that makes an impact. I draw strength from that. I have friends that have given me a lot of pink things, cups, blankets, socks, magnets etc. I gladly have them displayed in my house... not because of pink, ur because of the love that comes along with the gift. When I see them I see that someone went out of their way to think of me. My middle son buys me a pink gift every October, I love that he thinks of me and this is his way of showing support and love. Micmel, anxious to see pictures of your bra project! Grannax, hoping to see pictures of your fashion show! Divine, totally get about people hiding behind social media! In this time of political unrest, I have been absolutely stunned at the things that people post!! I was always taught that you don’t discuss some things in public. Some of my best friends have posted horrible things on both sides of the current issues and I admit that I look at them in a different way. I stay silent about controversial issues. That’s why I stick mostly to this thread. I have never seen disrespect or nastiness here, just love and support.0

Sandi~Hi there darling... very nice to see you here... I just woke up, and Don King has nothing on me. My hair is sticking up quite high lol. You're so kind to say the things you said. It means so much that you took the time to share your feelings with me. It made me feel so happy... I want this thread to be a safe haven, a place where humor plays such important part of the battle. We need to love and support each other. Exactly what Tanya.... Divine..... and lynnwood spoke of. LOVE and comrodery.. that is also how I view pink. I don't buy It myself persay. But people have given me shirts they wear in my honor. How can that be mean? My guess pink is just a reminder to some that pink is also linked forever to BC. Which I why I chose to do the decorating. Make it fun and about my project and keeping a healthy mind. And Sandi... I won't be modeling even a sock. I will not be held responsible for anyone's corneas burning because of the fright it would provide. But I will post my progress. Thanks for even caring! Love you guys.
I hope Sandi to see you here again soon. 😊
Much love to all. Runor... thinking of you and sending hugs and love... JKL.... hope all is good with you as well. Gracie~. Hello sweet woman. Love ya
Hi Grannax. I know you were the Star of the show!
I realized I haven't seen Chicagoan around at all. I am thinking about you... Haven't seen Pots either or Parry
Lynnwood~ thinking of you sweetheart.Hello to Mae!! All my shows are over. But survivor is back which I like a lot.
Divine~ Good morning and well put. I agree completely. But if people don't like. The pink they have their reasons and that's ok with me.
Minnie~ Hope your sundayvis a good one. I slept so late today. Geeze now my day is all messed up! Lol
Tanya~ Good morning. I love the bond that has been formed with this. Look at the Lynne's and MJH meeting up with Bigbhome? That so special, there are no words. So this can be very special if you allow it to be. Is my advice to anyone struggling with pink month. Also, the money and funding we are talking about here isn't even our money. Of course there are always bad apples, but they didn't come this far if everyone is stealing the money wrongly. I just hope for us all. That soon a cure will be upon us. That's what can make every month about fighting cancer of any kind.
Hugs hugs hugs and more hugs!

Grannax~ Oh honey!!! You look amazing, I love your dress. You look so happy and your smile is dazzling. You have such beautiful hair. I know how you feel about your grand daughter so I can understand why you're glowing in this photo. I am so proud of you. Way to stand up to cancer! To be able to keep that dress and jewelry is exactly what should have happened. You're gorgeous.... thank you for sharing your special day! ~M~

Grannax, wow, how Hollywood starlet you look! And a handsome fellow on your arm!
Divine, it is truly shocking what people post on social media and I must admit that being a hothead myself, I have no doubt unleashed some rather pointed and heated verbiage. But I try to keep it about the ISSUE and not personal. When people make attacks personal it's because their argument lacks thought, strength, intelligent research and truth.
I want to see the bra!!!

Grannax, you looked amazing, hope you had a great time.
I’ve been painting a friends house this weekend, it was the last of the hurricane Harvey repairs and it really beat me up. I wish tamoxifen didn’t make me feel like such an old lady

waving hello to Tanya, hope all is well.
Runor~ I agree... two different opinions make great ideas in the middle!!! Good to see you here.
Mae~ I take anastrazole and I know what you mean.... but seriously... painting a house wow! You go girl. You're something else. I thought of you today. When I went out to eat with my bff for some yummy seafood at a great restaurant. I know how Sundays are good food days for you!
While they were clearing the table (of course yes this has to happen to me) the waiter was cleaning the table and they had the sternos lit for the melted butter. As he cleared it off the table, he dropped it right in my lap. It scorched my thighs in my pants and it was so very painful. It hurt like hell. My thighs are burned, it hurts crazy. I will post some progress pictures....I'm doing pretty good with my progress. Much love ~M~

Micmel, your work is amazing! Very creative and detailed! It really looks great! You seem to have a knack for creating beautiful things.. something I lack. I’m horrified to hear that you got burned!! Please keep your eyes out for any sign of infection!! Is it blistered?? Hope it’s not to painful. I got burned on my thigh once by some hot tea and it was really painful. Praying all will be well.

Oh no, micmel! I’m sorry you got burned and hope it heals well and fast.
On a better note - the bra is gorgeous! You do good work

Hi, Grannax, you looked gorgeous!!
Micmel, love the work so far!! Would love to model that bra, might have to stuff it with tissue 😂. So thin, hardly any boobs at all!!
Tanya, love to sit on that porch with you!

Thanks Mods for checking in and supporting our Grannax in her talented catwalk!! Whoop whoop gorgeous woman!! Also, thanks for the nod to me for my bra contest im entering through. My hospital!
Tanya~Hello sweety thank you for the kind words about my work on the bra. I realized I need a project to keep my mind busy. That is key for me. I would love to sit on your porch with you and work on my bra. Something about the fresh air in fall sitting on a porch. Sounds heavenly honestly.
Runor ~ yes Boo on the burns. It was scalding hot.. the entire table looked at me and said you didn't even flinch.... or even move a hair. I think. My pain tolerances are very high because of cancer. What could have been done ? It was too late, You have to wait out the pain. It was wicked though. Thanks for the comments on the bra. I appreciate it and it means a lot to me. I love to create things.
Minnie~I need to loose some weight so I'll give you some, so you can wear this bra! My bff said it looks like it was designed by Victoria secret. I took that as a compliment for sure! hope you're sleeping soundly now.
Shelia~I know right. Seems luck wasn't at the table last night for me, but the lobster was delicious. Just bummed it ruined a good pair of pants. It's always something.
Lynnwood~ thank you so much for your compliments on my bra design. I would be thrilled to win. I really enjoy doing things like this. It makes me happy. It takes my mind off of everything around me. You're so sweet to tell me that I am good at decorating. I need the support.. and honesty. Because I don't want to enter a cheesey piece. I want to win. Lol.
Love you guys lots!

Grannax- I read on another thread that you were going to be starting the A/A regimen. Has that happened yet?

masonsonmawmaw I had a big scare about progression in liver. The plan was to change treatment but then the MRI did not show the lesion. So, after much discussion, we decided to keep me on Ibrance and scan again in November. I still have the Affinitor waiting for if and when I do progress.

Micmel, first the bra is looking gorgeous!! You have such a great mind for design!! Second OUCH!!!! Watch those spots that they heal ok! Can’t even imagine!!! Must be painful!
