Well the day started out pretty well! I just got back from my surgeon's office and NO MORE CHEMO!!!!!!!!!Yeah!! Great b-day present huh? What a gift! We are looking at the 23rd for surgery. I am so happy to be moving onto the next step,yet I'm pretty nervous about the surgery though(Lumpectomy)only because of the possible Lymph Node involvement, but soooo ready to get this darn beast out of me! On a funnier note-as I'm driving home I notice to my right there is this van kind of cruising along beside me...I look over and there is this guy gaulking at me. Ok,I was flattered at first,but then had to think..if he only knew! I kept trying to speed up to ditch him but like 3 times he cruised up beside me. So,I smiled & thought,what would he do(& boy would I love to see the look on his face!)if I took off my wig?! ROFLMAO! Anyway-Chemo Queen & Chicks,sorry for bowing out on ya only after 2 rounds but I have had this beast in me way too long. I will be thinking & praying for all of you that your day will come soon too & you can move onto your next phase of treatment. Now onto celebrating the rest of my day.......
Hugz,
Cathy

Yes, I, too, would love to have seen his face if you had taken your wig off. The only problem is it would have probably caused an accident. Wishing you a wonderful birthday. It sounds like you already got your present...no more chemo. Yipee!!!

The thought did run across my mind so I didn't do anything drastic. Had I not been driving I wouldn't of been able to resist!

BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MEL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU....................and MANY MANY MANY MORE~!!!!!

I know the feeling, so many times I wanted to just rip the wigs off in public, just for shock value. I have a wierd sense of humor. I'd wait until I'd see someone staring because I had this little cap on with the hair halo and then I'd start moving it around on my head to see their reaction. The reactions varied from thumbs up to averting their eyes. You do what you gotta do. I would have loved to see his face if you did it.

Happy Birthday, indeed! And you know, if one of your Sisters in Pink had been in the car with you, that wig would have been off in the proverbial NY minute, and you 2 would have laughed till your sides ached AND you peed in your pants!

Hugs,
C♥

That's exactly what we would have done isn't it Chen? I know for sure I would have ROFL. That was a great birthday present Cathy and I hope all goes well for you. Hugs, Lili

Happy Birthday Cathy and good news. Moving forward is always good. And whipping off the wig would have been so funny. And Chen is right, if you had been with a sister and done that you would both have peed your pants. Have a great day and celebrate both the b-day and the moving on to surgery.

Thank You! Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry this is so late! I'm sorry to say he wasn't cute, otherwise I wouldn't of dared! I say DO IT! Those darn wigs can be so aggravating at times and it feels good to shed them!

It is wonderful that you no longer need chemo, which means it worked well for you. And yes, taking off the wig would have been a real treat for the guy. I also got a lot of looks when driving, but it was because I never wore anything on my head....oh well. I am a fellow Scorpio too, November 3.
Glad your birthday was a good one!

Thank You! It did melt b/4 it got here. :-( Thanks for sending it though!
Sorry to say No ice-cream. I couldn't taste anything and dairy has been on my DO NOT Consume list while I was on Chemo. I really wanted it BAD though! Just had cupcakes.

all for your birthday and well wishes! It meant so much to me! I apologize for taking so long to respond! It's been almost a week since I was last on and geez I have missed so much! I've been off and on most of the day trying to catch up! They changed my surgery to the 30th as they said the Doctors can only do one Sentinal Biopsy per day. They had too many that short week because of the holiday.(It's still not set in stone though.) Kinda glad I have another week to recoup from Chemo though. I'm finally getting back to somewhat normal! I still have another dilemma but I will save that for another post. I'm also going to start a new post on Birthdays!
Thanks again everyone! It made my day!
Hugz,
♥Cathy
