    Congrats!
    That's awesome news. Would you be willing to share your 'book' even though you're not completely done with it ? I am a newbee and would love to have some of your wisdom.
    thanks, Sue

    Sue .. I would be pleased to share all information with you ...
    We have a talented group of WARRIORS here on our site. As you can tell we have multiple topics that go back several years... Everything under the sun is discussion, openly, honestly and with love.

    I have learned so much from our Kindred Spirits here -- as we are a family. We care about each other. We celebrate, cry and cheer .. in good times and bad. I like to refer to our group of WARRIORS .. that offer over 100 years of accumulative experience.

    Are you gearing up for chemo, surgery or radiation, Miss Sue? Please let me know.


    Strength and Courage,

    Vicki Sam

    Wonderful news!
    So happy the news was great, VickiSam, and that Barbie and Bambi made such an impression on everyone.

    Tell us a little about your book. Is it about your breast cancer experience?

    Hi Vicki !
    Thanks for writing back so quickly. I am thrilled to have this group since you all know how it is to go through this !
    I was diagnosed with IBC, a Stage IIB ( it had made it to one sentinal node ), 2.5cm tumor in early Sept. I had a lumpectomy and am almost done with chemo. I had 4 treatments of A/C ( wow , was that hard ...got very sick with it ), and have 2 of the 12 treatments left of Taxol. Once the Taxol is finished at the end of Feb, I will have 2 weeks off and then start 6 weeks of rads. So, all in all, I should be done in early May.

    Thank all of your for being there for us 'new' folks !
    Hugs, Sue

    yay!
    Rejoicing with you, sister!

    Good for you on taking control and getting an MRI. I don't have insurance either. That takes courage on your part! Good for you!

    Glad the boobzillas - Bambi and Barbie - were such a hit! :)

    May your dance with NED be ongoing! :)

    Much Love,

    It is inspiring to see
    It is inspiring to see someone who has gone through all that I am going through make it through to the other side. Congratulations! You have a wonderful sense of humor. I believe that a sense of humor is vital to our survival. May you continue to enjoy the fruits of your labors.

    It is now 2:39 a.m. and I am going to try to go back to sleep (once again, it's those damn decadron!)

    I am dancing, and dancing, and dancing!!!!
    GREAT news!!!

    And, as far as the 'peep show'....you know, in Europe, it is not considered to be anything to be without a top on the beach...so, the line could have been "Well, I'm on my way to the beach, and just thought I'd stop in for a chat"....ROFL!!!

    Hugs, Kathi

    Couldn't be happier for you, VickiSam!
    That is great news. Glad you're able to get the MRI--just a little more peace of mind. Take good care, celebrate (I know you will) and keep working on those books!

    Congrats to Barbi and Bambi
    Congrats to Barbi and Bambi and of course to you!!! Vicki you the former "chemo queen" have been such an inspiration to me. When we were both in the throws of chemo you had some wonderful and practical advice for me and it worked for my diet and other various side effects. As I recall there were days when you thought you would not make it and look at you now ready to Live Life. Let that be a testament to all the sisters currently going thru treatment and those doing a repeat performance. Love you Cousin Vicki and would love to meet you in person along with all the other West Coast cousins and pink sisters.

    We need your spunk on these boards and I'm so very happy that you are in daily contact with us. Hip Hip Hooray for a true Warrior and Survivor!! ((((((((((Hugs))))))))))

    Wow, you & Natly both declared NED on the same day! Completely awesome! Congratulations! Yes, previous "Chemo Queen", you sure have been through some H-ll! I remember all too well praying for you so hard to just give you a break already! You have indeed come a long way Baby!! Your strength, determination, & courage set an example for so many of us,(& continues to) and you truly give so many Hope! And to maintain a great sense of humor throughout it all....you are one tough Cookie! I hope that you will continue to share all that you have to offer with those in our shadows.
    Hilarious about the girls!! What else can ya do? Isn't it amazing how much modesty we have lost throughout all of this?!
    That is great about the book! Is it finished? When can we expect publication?
    Enjoy your dance with NED, and if you don't mind, when you & Nat are done, can you send him my way already??!
    ♥ Always,
    Cat
