Wow. I need to learn how to attach photos. Then I need to find some photos to send, not that I'll enjoy the hunt...

Jo, you seem to be one of the most positive, supportive women on this thread. You deserve to lose it sometimes, too, though. I found the year anniversary (everyone counts differently. In my case I counted from the day I got the biopsy results (two days after the initial mammogram/needle biopsy. I think until then I still hoped that it could possibly be a mistake. That day made it definitive) very emotional. I had that date in my head all year and it meant a lot to me to get past it.  In Judaism, after a death, there are structured stages of mourning that last a year. I now see that I was really mourning all year. Mourning my lost breast, my carefree attitude towards my body, my presumption of wellness, lots of things. There is also an element of PTSD in that its the same time of year, same weather, same calendar, and it's hard not to feel freaked out by those memories, as if it's happening again. But it's not. And I made myself concentrate on how this year is SOOOO different from last year. Last year I was terrified and at the beginning of an unknown journey. None of us have 100% guarantees for the future, but neither does anyone else actually, and look how far we've come! We are different than we were last year, and we've been through a hell of a lot, for sure, but we're still here, still kicking, and maybe even stronger in many ways. This was my mini pep talk to myself, Jo. I hope it helps. But you're entitled to your down days; it's an emotional time. Helluva roller coaster!

 I looked into Biotin and here's some info on how to get it naturally from food if you're interested, too. Its in Swiss chard, romaine lettuce, tomatoes and carrots, among other things. Thanks, Jo and Sherry for the info.

 Thanks!

Oh my!   I stay off the site for a few days and the pillow fights and eye candy are getting pretty serious.  You ladies are out of control and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Really struggling with my weight. My onc says it has nothing to do with the Tamox or early enduced menopause.  Do I need to say he's a man.

If I could just get some weight off I'd actually feel ok. Well other than the fractured rib, stiff neck, low bone density, lower back pain and the bula on my lung.  LOL 

Hey JO can I have some virtual pudding please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a lumpectomy, does anyone still get the occasional twinge in the surgical site? 

Jules

Jules - I also had a lumpectomy and used to get twinges at the surgical site.  After rads, I started having burning/stabbing pains that are permanent nerve damage from rads and I am on a medication to take care of it so I don't feel much of anything on that side anymore.

I know everyone likes chocolate pudding!!!!

Dinner is served!  Come and get it.

They sure do!!!  I need one now!!

ok ladies lets get the show on the road all aboard!!!!!
