Living Proof Movie
I saw where someone posted wanting to see that movie. I haven't seen it, but, that guy on here, Bill, posted and said if you would PM him, he would send you a free copy. Apparently, he had downloaded it and then made copies. Hope this helps you out Jackie.
For Pammy
Hi, Pammy. My reply to your guesses about "what number series' 6th number is 13?" is buried in the weekend plans posts, so I thought I'd repost it here for you: Pammy likes puzzles Maybe I should have called it a "series," not a "sequence." Have you ever heard of Fibonacci? He discovered this series: 1,2,3,5,8,13....Can…

Inspiration Photo w/Message
Hi Sisters, I have added a photo to my expressions page. It is a photo I took of my daughter the day after my first chemo. I wanted to share the story with you. It was a local children's marathon.

It's my second(after being dx)mammogram on Monday,and once again-I'm a little nervous.Last time they found cysts in my right(unaffected breast)breast and called me back for more x-rays while I was waiting(doctor was unsure of what they were and wanted to make sure)-freaked me out a little! I'm trying to think positive-but…
Herceptin fever
So I had my second infusion of Herceptin yesterday am. I threw up and had chills DURING my first infusion (which was with my main chemotherapy) but seemed to only have standard chemo side effects like nausea, fatigue, sore mouth after the fact. Well during this second infusion of Herceptin I got a fever. Last night, I was…

TJHAY - Your TATTOO on your EXPRESSION page is AWESOME!

So, as it is terribly hot here in my California Valley, and I am in a Jazzercise class with 20+ women in a too small room, yesterday I liberally doused myself with…
Day 9 of Pammy's Rads
TGIF!! I actually had a few minutes to sit down today and low & behold there was another woman in the waiting room. She was buried behind a newspaper and all I could see was her hat sticking out over the top. I sat there admiring her hat. It was rather stylish and wide brimmed and I would have like to had one like it for…
