Mae~💜Biggie. He looks like he is just sitting in your passenger seat talking to you like it's an everyday Occurrence! He looks calm and collected talking with his mom, nothing else could be better in the world for him. Adorable!!!! And he's looking fine for 13!! Deeohgee is 8 but the walker coonhound in him, has him up to some dastardly things. He's like a cat, when he wants you to pay attention to him. He means it. But otherwise please leave him alone lol. Meow! We say! Love him though, dogs make me smile every day. They are crazy sometimes. We have two dogs. Ones a rescue. The others name is Tag. He is a great loyal doggie! Thank You for sharing biggie. He's perfect! Have a great day Mae! I love your sense of humor! Everyday! Hugs ladies ~M~

Micmel - Those dogs are so cute! I'm glad you can still have bigger dogs! Many of the MBC group have had to give theirs up because they could no longer handle them. We lost our Dixie last year and I would love another one I know I can no longer handle a dog of that size and energy. Glad you are having a good day!

Mae - Your boy is a doll! Like M said, just sitting in seat riding with mom! He looks great for 13! I'm glad you are happy about going back to work.

Have a great day!

Hugs and prayers

I need some prayers for my good friend Dianarose. She's been struggling this month and is really not doing as well as we have been praying for. She's been in And out of the hospital and cancer centers for the past month every week, I am worried beyond worry for her, I can't even eat my stomach is in knots. She has become a special friend to me and I adore her. Please send up some prayers if you can. I dont know what to Do. I feel So helpless for her and I am really scared this time. She's back at the cancer center receiving the big guns treatments again through chemo. I didn't want her to have to go through this again. None of this disease is fair. I hate you cancer, you hurt people I love. You hurt good innocent people who are loving and kind. I feel sick as I write this. I don't know what to do. I can't even see her or help her in anyway. Ugh!!!! So frustrating, this sucks so badly. There are just no words whatsoever. To describe how frustrating this is all for us. God bless us all. Much love ~M~

bigbhome, radiation itself didn't happen today, more planning and mapping. I have 3 different colored sharpie markings on me, I look like i passed out at a party, fortunately none of the drawings are penis shaped, lol. I'm told tomorrow is the day, for real this time. Oh and I have to wear a "mask"to keep my head turned to the right, I call it a face cage, the staff seemed to find the term very amusing.

Nan~Hi sweetheart!! I am so glad to see your name here. I am thankful you're doing good and that your results look good. That is certainly something I needed to hear. I desperately needed to hear something good. I am hoping that your reading issue bugs off like now! We love you very much. Always

Mae~lmao at I looked like I passed out at a party. Lmao! Your sense of humor is catching. Lol. I am going to be thinking of you and praying that your radiation is quick and does the trick! Are you having bone pain?? I ask because I know you and I are similar with the limited bone mets? I am curious as to how the pain progresses and where you're having pain? I wish you nothing but the best! I don't have any pain anymore to speak of, and lately over the past month I have been feeling really good. Not anywhere near where i was,but the tumor markers have plummeted and are within normal range if that is possible even. I am just curious as to the process in case I should ever need the radiation. I want to educate myself. I am assuming mapping means the places where they will administer the radiation!? Sorry if I am a fury of questions lol you just got up. But....at least it's Not waking up with an image of a penis on your head!!!! TFF!

Claudia~ good morning darling. Hugs to you sweet friend. Hope you have a good day, I have to pick up my DS from the airport tomorrow, he went to Florida on a mini vacation. I'll be glad and waiting for his plane to touch down safely. I am such a mother hen. He is 20. You would think I would get used to them growing up. But I am still so protective of them. I don't know if that will ever change. Being a parent is hard already. Being a parent with cancer is even harder. As some of you know! I guess age is just a number when love is involved.

Keetmom~ hope everyone is having fun!! Thinking of you all having a blast in South Carolina. Hugs.

Love you guys. ~M~

Good morning ladies, I hope everyone has a good day. Shower day is always such fun. I get to see the horror I have become. It's really sad. I no longer see any beauty. I see a train wreck. Someone who will never be whole again. Damaged physically and mentally. Never to fully recover. I am thankful for you ladies. I am here every day. I enjoy reading your words. I enjoy sharing everyday with you all. Youre funny. Clever, witty and so kind. I just wish MBC didn't bring us all here. Think about how many of us there are. It truly rips my heart in two. My friend is struggling and I can't do a damn thing. It is a helpless disease. I just don't know why things are he waythey are for us. So many unanswered questions.Then one of you will share good news and my steps lift. And I can smile. So please don't leave me in This journey and I'll truck along right along with you. Kicking and screaming the entire time. Much love! ~M~

For my good friend Diana. Love you my sweet friend. Holding you close in prayer and sending you love from my soul! I am sorry this is happening and I hope the heavy chemo knocks it back! ~M~

Thanks Mae~ I know with me mine is more emotional! I am exhausted and that heavy chemo kicked my rear end, but that ended in November of 16. My feet and fingertips still feel the neuropathy and when I shave my legs I can feel some on the ankle area. Very faint, but it's there. I am also a victim of fatigue. I know I hate that word. But oh is it real. As we all know. 30 rounds of radiation, wow is that everyday?? I hope you live close !!

I read something today as far as statistics go for marriages and a cancer diagnosis. Over 55%of marriages with diagnosis ended up in divorce. In a different survey:: If the woman was sick it was higher for men leaving then women. 65% men left. That number is huge! If the Man was sick, it was 35% women left the marriage. I Cant imagine not having my sweet DH by my side. Life is hard! Cancer just makes it harder! Have a great night! ~M~

It's so weird how some days you wake up feeling pretty good and other times you wake up feeling like ass. I know headaches are a symptom of ibrance and all hormonal medicines. But when I get a headache I freak out. I get a arm ache. I freak out. I am so sick of hearing the word cancer, Seeing the word cancer, knowing all that it does to you and the load road ahead and the struggle we all seem to face. I just never hated anything quite like this before. Usually when you hate something you can find ways to avoid it . Good tastes like shit, you Don't eat it. An outfit doesn't flatter you, you don't wear it again. Sneakers wear out, you replace them. Why cant we just get rid of this cancer too?Why do we have to deal with this.? While good people all over the world suffer from this horrible disease. You loose people in your life that can't deal with cancer or you. So they fade away. They don't like cancer so they avoid it. They avoid you. I have had that happen with one fair weather friend. "Oh we don't care about your hair, we love you, we'll find a wig, you'll be ok ". Um not really, it's spread.....crickets. Crickets, nothing since that day. Nada! Some people have no balls. And yes I mean men too. I've been so annoyed at that study I read. Why would anyone leave someone they love because they got cancer.? Do they really think this was their choice? Do they really think we choose to have this happen to our bodies.? Our minds? It makes me sick. I just wish I could go back to the time where they said oh. It's a cyst, I wish I would have said no. Get it out now. I am just a shell of what I once was. I was so fit and lean. How can that be just gone ? The best shape of my life? How can that possibly be? So now I am forced every day to live with this monkey on my back. I love my family more than words. As well as you all of course love your families. I have never hated anything so much in my life. The worst part is. I can't run from this, I can't outrun this disease that has grabbed a hold of me, and won't let go. I cant avoid the cancer centers. I can't avoid my onc, or those shitty ass outdated statistics that we are sick of hearing about. I am going to fight you shit head cancer. I am not going gently into thy night. Not by a long shot!!! Love you guys. Stay strong with me. I need you guys!! I am praying for my dear friend, and all of us everyday. ~M~

I hope everyone is doing ok. I am still waiting for news on my good friend. Some days having this place to write helps me. I have to have somewhere to get my thoughts out. This disease is so ugly. Every single thing about it is ugly. Except the relationships. You build are real. They are intense real and forever. My husband and I have grown even closer and are more in love than the first day we were together. That's is the one thing cancer hasn't taken from me. The one thing! He's my precious angel. But who would have thought that precious angel would be getting his own angel. Way before we had ever thought possible. So hard to digest. Such a hard jagged pill to swallow. C-can't ever a-answer any questions n-never nice never-c-couldn't wish on my worst enemy e-enemy of us all R-resistance is all we have. Eff you! Cancer

Micmel - I was shocked to read about Dianarose! I have been praying for her and for you. All we can do is pray that God has his hands on her. I'm quite sure he does!

I don't have time to explain what has been going on here, but know that I am fine and will talk to you when I have a break.

Keetmom - Wow 1000ish miles!

Hugs and prayers

Today sucks ass. That's all I can say! I am sick of having cancer and I am sick of living this horrible way. I don't want to do this anymore. Family or no family. This is just no way to live. For any of us. I hope you're ok Claudia. God knows I am not. Why Is it that somedays we feel half decent but then wham. A shitty day makes us realize we are sick. And it's not going to get better only worse. Ive had about enough of it all. It's living a slow torture is what it is. God help us. Because we are going to need it.

Much love but sadness ~M~
