how about drinking?

Thanks goils for all the good thoughts.  I had the scan done today and got the report an hour after.  Mmm, not what I was expecting.........as they say, NED has left the building and the BC has entered!  Looks like new lesions to top of the right femur, top of the right humerus, T5 and sternum.  Looks like it's been having a partay!  The only good thing in that although wide spread, they are very small...........it will probably mean a change from Femara to Aromasin but I guess I'll get the details from the doc in the morning.

Now it's time for a roolax and a drinky poo and then I'm heading to the massage table with Mr Big in tow.....goils, he will be otherwise occupied for a little while.....or a long while....................

Love n hugs n TITZUP!!!!!!!!  Chrissy

lol bernie, love your new baby! (((chrissy)))   , did i miss the new scuby boobs? 

Good morning, Loungettes! Sitting here this morning looking at the cloudy, gray sky, knowing snow is on the way. Turnpike speeds already down to 45 mph in the southern part of the state, some cancellations already reported. Only supposed to be a few inches, 4 to 6 in my area, but since we've gotten so little snow this winter everyone is freaking. I'm waiting to see if the boring meeting that was rescheduled from last week gets cancelled or rescheduled again. Want to get my walk in before it gets slippery, too. Ah, winter in Maine. Hopefully this snow will stick around long enough for me to get to use my snowshoes next week.

Mema-Ooh, mohitos! Can I have some? Dose tasty soooo gud!

Beanie-Yes, we MUST have a No Square partay for Scuby, just as soon as she's back on her feet and can dance with us!!!!! I remember my Dad complaining about not being able to bounce back from illness or surgery like he used to, and my Mom does the same thing, so I suppose it's genetic for me. I mean, it's been 6 WHOLE WEEKS! I should be totally recovered by now! But I would tell a patient of mine that such an expectation is unrealistic and explain why. So how come I still expect to recover faster? Like you, I feel 18 until I start getting out of bed, then the back and the hips tell me very, very different. The knees remind me all day long, too. Sigh.

Mema-when we all get off this hormonal stuff, do you suppose we will all start feeling younger again?

Karen-I vote for jammies and lazy time, sound s like your body is trying to tell you to slow down. Constipation can cause headaches, did you know that? I was surprised when I learned that years and years ago. And all us goils who've met the beast also get the everyday, common aches and pains and problems like constipation. Hope the sinuses clear up soon, those headaches can be brutal.

DorK-LIKE THE CLOCK!!! What are the tenders serving today? Something smells yummy! Hope your power is back on by now.

Wahine-I bet Maverick and Molly were delighted to welcome you home again! Sounds like some interesting weather there-the weather guesser last night predicted snow for today, but rain and possibly thunderstorms tomorrow! I'm wondering if it will turn out to be thunder snow, that's always a good time! Love the Guinness in the VIP room for DH! What fun, way to make someone feel special!

Chrissy-I wish I knew what to say to the news of new bone lesions. Very small is good, but I had prayed for better. Take all the time you want with MR. BIG!

Bernie-LOL!

Juliet-I think the new Scuby Boobs reveal was yesterday afternoon, she's probably so engrossed in admiring them that she's forgotten to post!

Lazy morning here.....didn't get out of bed till about 7:15....DD had already left for school....good thing she is so independent and doesn't get upset that her mom doesn't get out of bed when she is getting ready for school!!!!  The dogs woke me up at 3 am to go out....that may account for being so tired!!!  Actually I've been sleeping more these past couple weeks than I have in years.....could I be getting too much sleep!!!!  I'm getting like 6 hours/night!!!!

NM...I've been struggling with the constipation for 4 1/2 years after one of my surgeries....sometimes it just rears its ugly head worse than others....colace is a good friend of mine!!!  And yes, I know that we get the "normal" aches and pains....thats why I said that I was waiting the 2 weeks to do anything about my side/hip/thigh....can'at really explain the area.....its just uncomfortable when I sit a certain way, when I move a certain way or get up from sitting....it could very well just be age....or maybe I pulled a muscle....the sinus issues are chronic and its just what it is.....reynauds too.....all post BC....I was "healthy as a horse" prior to Dx...never took any meds....maybe had an Rx or 2 a year!!!

((((((((((((((((((((((((((Chrissy))))))))))))))))))))....we need to get the tenders to find NED and tell him to come back home to Chrissy......Sure wish I could wrap my arms around you.....

Got to get busy with my list of things I want to do today.....and cleaning the floors is at the top of the list....if they bother me, they must be filthy!!  DH ususally does the floors, but he is going to be wiped out when he gets home tomorrow...he's been gone all week at a sales meeting....and not the kind where you get praises heaped on you!!!!

Oh before I go.....a friend posted this on fb....thought it would put a smile on everyone's face....I thought of Bernie when I read it...

The doctor, after an examination, sighed and said, "I've got some bad news. You have cancer, and you'd best put your affairs in order..."
The woman was shocked, but managed to compose herself and walk into the waiting room where her daughter had been waiting.
"Well, daughter, we women celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don't go so well. In this case, things aren't well....... I have cancer. So, let's head to the club and have a martini."
After 3 or 4 martinis, the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and more martinis. They were eventually approached by some of the woman's old friends, who were curious as to what the two were celebrating.
The woman told her friends they were drinking to her impending end, "I've been diagnosed with AIDS ."
The friends were aghast, gave the woman their condolences and beat a hasty retreat.
After the friends left, the woman's daughter leaned over and whispered, "Momma, I thought you said you were dying of cancer, and you just told your friends you were dying of AIDS! Why did you do that?"
"Because I don't want any of those bitches sleeping with your father after I'm gone."
And THAT, my friends, is what is called, "Putting Your Affairs In Order."

Oh Chrissy, I sure hated reading that. Thank God they are SMALL lesions, and like everyone said, gotta get rid of that rat ba$tard TOTALLY....kick it all to da curb....we need it ALL gone. Love the flowers Beans sent you....and puleez do keep Mr.Big as long as you want to! Let him pamper you all day/night. I only glimpsed "Hunk" yesterday, but we were on our way out of the casino so didn't go over and hug him. (((CHRISSY))) hugs for you, dear friend.

Bernie, Love all the jokes! Beans, love all the pictures and cartoon! Karen, Love the AIDs joke....priceless. Nm love all your comments and cartoons too! And the CANCER SUCKS DOTD is totally appropriate. I'll dwink to dat!

Scuby, Glad the new gals are looking good! Tried a different ale Tuesday.... a Winter Ale Blue Moon on draught....never had that type of Blue Moon before, it was not too dark, and pretty smooth. The Guinness my DH loves is toooo dark and heavy for me. They also had a Killian Red on draft, but I didn't like the taste of it. I do like Shock Top, so guess I lean towards the Belgian White Ales. Such fun to have our Beer of the Day too!

Well dear ones, hope everyone is doing well. Sue you must still be dancing the Happy Dance, since your DD is ok....that was sooooooo scary! Shannon, is your DH ok now? I forget who else was sick or had sick husbands? Beans, Hoping your DH is feeling better after that horrid fall. Dork, when do you start back to work? Did your power stay off very long last night????

Cheers Dears!

Kathy

Two elderly ladies were outside their nursing home,having a smoke,when it started to rain. One of the ladies pulled out a condom,cut off the end,put it over her cigarette,and continued smoking.
The lady asked,"What's that?" "A condom," the other lady responded. "This way my cigarette doesn't get wet." "Where did you get it?" the other lady asked. "You can get them at any drugstore."
The next day, the first lady hobbled herself down to the local drugstore and announced to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The guy look at her kind of strangely (she is,after all,over 80 yrs of age), but politely asks what brand she prefers. "It doesn't matter, as long as it fits a Camel." the pharmacist fainted!             .........................                 this one is for you bernie

darn...darn...darn..just lost a long post....don't feel like re-writing it...lets just say, been dealing with a moody, cranky 13 yo.....may write about it later....

Chrissy, you are in our hearts, so there are many prayers going out for you! You are so special, and we gotta get rid of this rat ba$tard, asap.

Some of you must be getting a lot of snow. We just got a dusting (about 1/4" in back yard, but none in front yard). I didn't know till Molly started barking (its dark out)....cause the kids next door were yelling playing in it, plus we have 26 mph winds, and all their beds on the covered deck, got covered in snow! So they now are happily in the house!

And Alli, I told my DD about your DD making Barbie snowballs, so she may suggest her kids make tiny Am Girl snowballs, or something! She thought that was a cute idea.

Pau Hana time! Dwinking to Chrissy and to kicking that "c" to da curb....

Kat

Hi girls!! Been such a busy week, haven't been able to post and just spent a long time catching up. Drinking Chardonnay. Yum. But I want one or ten of those cancer sucks drinks. Chrissy, I am with Beans on the F#ck F#ck F#ck!! Damn rat bastard!! Sending big hugs and lots of prayers. Hope Big is taking good care of u Down Under (she's from Australia, get your minds out a dat gutter, goils!!) xoxo

Scuby, dork, and beans, so glad u are all feeling better! Yeah!! I have a self diagnosed sinus infection, but my last client tonight was a good friend and Dr., and called in an antibiotic. Yeah for skipping a Dr visit!

Don't remember who was talking about constipation, but I actually drink a special tea every night for that. Have used it for years, and even told nurses about it during chemo. They tell other patients about it now. It's called three ballerina, in a green box. U can find it at most Asian markets. If that won't move u, nothing will!

Kymn, u are so sweet, thanks for the kind words. And Memasue, so glad DD is better!

Have a very neat story to share with you all, so listen close.....

Tomorrow will be 6 years since my mom, Lynda, passed away. It was a Friday the 13th that year as well. Have had her on my mind so much lately. Anyway, Fridays are usually my busiest day of the week. Well, last week, my clients all started calling needing to change their appointment for one reason or another, so ended up with only two clients left tomorrow, and had this "feeling" I should take the day off, so was able to move the other two and have tomorrow off. My Brother and his wife are expecting their first baby together on the 23rd of this month. He has a daughter from first marriage, this is his wife's first baby, a little boy they are going to name Avery Daniel. Anyway, last Sunday night, my mom talked to me in my dream. I truly believe she was with me, and it was no dream. She said that she talked to God, and was working it out so that my SIL would have Avery on Friday so that we would have happy thoughts on that day from now on and no longer be sad. I woke up, called my brother at 6:30 Monday morning and told him this. He says "you're crazy, she was just at the Dr Friday, not dilated, nothing, and with this being her first baby, will probably go PAST her due date!" Well, I told him that's what Mom told me, so they better think about adding some form of her name to the baby's. This morning, my brother calls me and says "you're not going to believe this, but Hollie is in labor! We are on our way to the hospital!!". Just got a text @7 with a picture of a beautiful baby boy. He wasn't born tomorrow, but because of my angel mother, he was born today, and tomorrow will be a Happy Day. We are driving to Nashville tomorrow, staying until Monday!! I will post a pic on FB, will u share it here Lori or Dorothy? Ok, gonna post this before I lose it. And have not made a final decision on the name, will let u all know :-)

A BIG CONGRATS Aunty Allison. Your story touched my heart and affirms my belief in angels! And sure, I will post for you.

My son posted this on fb:

‎"100% of people agree, boobs are awesome" ...I responded that some people think they are highly over rated!!! 

Bumped into someone I know, I guess I should say an acquantaince at the store today....I haven't seen her in a year....She is a 14 or so year survivor, had BC a 2nd time going on 5 1/2 years ago and mets 6 1/2 years ago.....I couldn't believe how much weight she has lost.....she is back in active Tx and the Tx is working well...she told me that her tumor markers dropped by 50% on this latest round of chemo....if I could cry, I would have cried when I saw her....She truly is an inspiration and one heck of a fighter.....She has two gorgeous young adult daughters...one was with her but didn't join in the conversation...I know the girls by name, but if they are not together, don't know who is who!!!

My co-worker is having her biopsy next Wednesday....wish I could offer her to go with her, but its a work day for me.....I feel bad if she has to go alone, but I know that I also need to take care of me...I could possibly take some time off on Wed and make it up on Th....but she didn't ask me if I could go with her.....she did say she would let me know what I can do to help....

Waiting for DS to get home....he should be here by 6:30....another 10 or 15 minutes....then we are off to go out to eat.....

Got the kitchen and bathrooms done today.....and picked up things at the grocery store...so bright and early in the morning I need to start cooking....my gf is coming over, but DS is working and DD is going to a shabbat dinner with her youth group at a friends house.....of course I say don't make to much food, but I probably will have too much....I have soup in the freezer than I'm going to take out...think its pea soup.....challah, roast chicken, fingerling roast potatoes, roast garlic, some sort of hot veggie and bake something for dessert....I have a meeting at Komen from 11 - 12:30 so want to have a lot done before I leave.....

Have a great evening....

I love you gals!!

I love u too Beans! And love the DorK pages!! Need to make me a book of dose pages, that would be great to have on hand!!! He'll, we could probably print out this thread and publish it!! Lol

Okay, I am back with dwink in hand. Where to start?

Kathy, the photo of Chrissy and me was taken in my back yard. I just found another that I have to resize. It makes me feel good to mentally go back to the week she spend with me. I just wish the rest of you girls got to meet her. When I hit the big lottery, I will pay to take all of you to OZ for a big FN HTL party at her house. I am sure her DH will not mind. It still makes me smile to think of her sitting on my sofa and skyping with her family. I was so intrigued by her conversations and could just feel the love she has for her family and vice versa. That was the first time I had ever seen anyone skype and I was happy that she let me listen. Her DH is so cute too. I have a strong feeling that she will beat this (Chrissy, sorry to talk about you like you are not here, just expressing my love for ya honey).

NM, your posts seem to get greater and greater, if that is even possible. I loved the photo of the little goil looking in the mirror and LMAO at the one of the gal buying stool softener. I hope you do not get too much snow, as pretty as it is, I feel bad when you have to clean it yourself. Do you shovel or have a snow blower? And goil, give yourself a break, you had three major surgeries and I sure know how long it takes to feel right. From my experience, I have found three months to be about the time it takes for me. the only reason I think this is that 3 months was the most amount of time I had between all my surgeries and I was feeling pretty good by July right before the lat flap and it was three months. I keep reminding myself that I am DONE in the O. R. for quite some time. I will consider a revision but not for a long long time. I remember the promise I made to you in having any surgery, I will make sure that you DO NOT cause mese loves you and a pwomise is a pwomise.

Scuby, tanks for de beer, mese had four already. And not sure how many cancer sux me dwank but me is feeling party good. Continue to take good care of yourself and for God's sake, stay away from work, you little workoholic you. I can't wait to see you. I still have not made my follow up appointment but will let you know. And if you do not know it, your foobs will change in appearance very quickly and look a little better each day. I am three weeks out and still have a little bit of bruising. I also have that funky lump below my clavicle. I had my onc check it and he said it was nothing to concern myself with. Have I told you that I love you lately? Well I do. 

Allison, what was your mother's middle name? I am trying to think of a boy name for your little nephew.  I have know of men named Lynn but I do not care for it as a male name. And I think it is good that your little nephew  was not born on Friday the 13th. It would be sad for him growing up knowing his bday was the day his dear grandmother passed. Today IS the perfect day for him to arrive and I have a feeling that Lynda had something to do with that. Congrats again. Shoot me an email once you post the pic and I will put it up there for ya. Cheers to ya and lots of love.  

Karen, I really hope that your coworker has someone with her for her biopsy. That day was THE worst day of my journey and the only day I cried. I was told at the time that it was 70% likely to be malignant. I remember balling my eyes out on my way home and having to stop after nearly cutting someone off as my contacts got all fogged up from crying. If you don't mind, can you give me her first name so that I can pray for her?  And you are sounding a lot better these days. I know you still have some bad days but at least you are hanging out with us. I worry when any of my goils nessapear. How is Misha doing while DH is away? Are you winning her heart? I sure hope so. How are your parents? I hope they are getting some help.  Have I told you lately that I love ya? And Stella does too. We feel sorry for you, you take on so much. When I hit the lottery, I am sending you a cleaning lady and a chauffeur.

I still miss Gail and wonder why she has left without saying anything. It does not look like she has even logged in. Does anyone have an email address for her or know how to contact her? 

Lori, tank ewe so much for de JD, but seems dat Stella has already emptied it. Do you know where wese can get that filled? And how on earth will I hide it in my cubicle at work? My cube is pretty big but that may just draw negative attention. It is bad enough that my boss packed up my desk to give to a new hire and musts have found my little bottle of rum that a coworker brought back from Jamaica! I never brought it home as it is like a little security blankie having dat in my drawer. I do have a nice size locker in my cubicle, wonder if de JD dispenser will fit in dere? Hmmmm. I am going to need something to calm my nerves when I go back. I don't wanna go, waaaaaaa! Can I come and work for you instead? I am a very hard worker and would find a way to work from home. Pleeeeeze? Me pwomise not to let STella get in the way. Wese love ya by de way.

Bernie, loving your jokes and still sharing them with my Dad and DH too. I hope you are feeling better. Have I told you that I love you and am grateful to be one of your goils? And how is puppy doing? She is adorable. Sending you a cyber hug, just becuase I loves ya!

Juliet, loved the condom for the camel joke. I sent that one to my people too. Are ya working dis ebeing? And me tinks you talk to much lol. Just kidding, it is mese dat talks too much. I am not really trying to hogface the whole page but it seems that is going to happen. I just like to address eberyone so you all know dat I love you.

Kathy, I hope you get the answers you want tomoree at de doctor. i will be tinking of you. Have you yet made arrangements for you Mom to arrive? I pray for your parents all de time.And guess who loves ya???? WESE!! ME and Stella too. Sorry I missed ya tonight for Pau Hana, mese was sleeping, had to have a little nap after all that shopping. My chest is sore from so much changing of clothes but I am feeling so much better for getting that done. Have a nice sleep and lemme know if you need a tender to rock you.

Kymn, so glad to see you posting daily. My people appreciate not having to hunt you down. When I hit the lottery, I am giong to buy you a new home so that your FAH is green with envy. I hate that he moved across the street from you but you are really doing well. You might not think so but I can read it in your words. I pray that you and I can parTAY like we did when we were widdle, you know, back in early 2011. Some words to live by - "what does not kill you makes your stronger". I say it often but I am so very proud of you. You have endured so much and although you are still healing, I can feel the strength you have found. And guess what, me loves ya!  I am sending you a few rye and cokes and might as well send a Cancer Sucks and de Scuby beer too. Let's git dwunk. 

Mema SusieQ, you sure do gwate with de Beanglish. Both Beans and I are so proud of how quickly you loyned de language. And uh, I thought that your DD did have p-monia?? I am so happy that God was with her and got her through this scare. You must be so relieved. I really enjoy having you in de lounge and I tink I love you too. Yup, I do. Here is a huggie jest for you. 

Shannon, how are you making out? And how is your DH? Did you know that I love ya? 

Well, me tinks I wrote dat book and better hit de submit button before mese lose all dis typing. But one more ting, Chrissy B, I had a talk with God about you and am feeling strongly that de meds will bring you back to NED soonly. I prayed that it is soonliest as possible and pray that you are not in much pain. I love you like a sister. BTW, my oldest sister always asks about you. I wish you had met my middle sister but I will bring her when I hit the lottery!!! 

I am going to try to post more photos as I just figured out what I was doing wrong. I have to pop into internet explorer for both bco and photobucket to do the copy/paste ting dat me Chrissy Luv taught me.

CHeeRs, no fears, hunky rears and delish beers! Love you all, sorry if I missed someone, de likker is gitting me. TITZ UP!! 

-----------------------------------------------

Goils, Stella has sumting to sez:

Hailow, goils. DorK has proclaimed her love for ebberybuddy but mese. So I punish her and dwank her big arse JD gift from Lori. Dat will teach her. I know she loves me too but she is tinking about putting me back in de reform school agen, a widdle birdy told me dat. I can tail what I did dat was berry berry bad but mese is going to run away to Lori's agen cuz she loves me more den de Dork, dat beotch. 

Love and hugs,

Stella-la-de-da!

A little worried girls-is anyone still awake to comment??

Just showered and noticed that my whole back is covered in what looks like "sun spots" or maybe light brown flat moles.  They are definitely new, not painful or bothersome.  Also a couple on my fingers.  

Is this a "chemo thing"?

Going for my fourth AC treatment Monday.
