I Got Mine!!!!!
I feel so fortunate; after having arrived at the party late! I have already recieved my ornament and I have to tell you it is perfect! Not only was the ornament in of itself something that Marcia527 spent her time to shop for and ship; my maiden name is Angel with 2 L's but none the less pronounced the same. How Do She…
Oh, how I want a big glass of red wine!
I haven't had one since January. I forgot to ask my onc if I can. I'm on Arimidex. I've read yes's and no's. Do you or don't you? And, dry or sweet, red or white? Sue
missrenee,
how did your blood tests turn out - better, I hope! Sue

Celebrating Casey Alexander Martinez - Gone one year December 15th
Hard to believe it has been one year since we lost Casey to infant reflux disease. He is still missed by all who knew this little guy, and his life was celebrated in a big way in the Houston area on his birthday (September 21st), with the Mayor proclaiming it Casey Alexander Martinez day. We still miss our little Casey,…

Lymphedema Pump news
My pump came yesterday! What a nice early Christmas present. It is such a relief and help for my condition. I don't want any of you who are concerned about getting lymphedema or might have a mild case which is controlled by massage, wraps, or sleeves to get concerned. Not everyone needs a pump...but if you do, it is a…
Postponing/ canceling chemo??
My Onc finally sent me to see a Wound Doctor, my incision is not healing, and has been getting worse. Anyway, the new doc wants me to either cancel or postpone my last chemo treatment. I understand why, but wondering about the effects of not taking it... If I take it late, is it like starting over? If I have to cancel,…
Gabe N Abby Mom
Congratulations on finishing the chemo.. I'm doing the happy dance for you. I didn't know that you had finished. How are you doing? I will be praying for you for a speedy recovery after surgery. Hugs, Dawne
Breast cancer survivor group meeting
I just got home from the Breast Cancer Survivor Group Meeting that I attend once a month. We had a little Christmas celebration and everyone bought a dish. Had some yummy stuff. I received another ornament to put on my tree. A local school had their students make ornaments and they decorated a tree for us. We were all able…

Not BC related - Season related
Our G-daughter already has more than she needs and Hubby and I decided that what we would be spending on each either would go to neighbor kids. I need some ideas for 'Santa' gifts for 2 boys in one family, probably 6 (or 7) and (10 or 11). The girl, I've decided on a 'bead box' and My Little Pony - unless a better idea.…
Does Herceptin End
With the last chemo? Or are we on it longer?
Ornament Received!!!, from 4slurpee!
Beautiful white porcelain, egg-shaped & embossed with pretty snowflakes! By Wedgwood - on a very, very long satin ribbon. This one might not go on the tree - I'm thinking maybe hung from a doorway arch. And a bonus gift: Godiva chocolates! Omigosh! All so decadent! Thank you, Catherine! I'll reward myself with the…
New 'diagnosee' is looking for info.
I just got a cancer diagnosis 36 hours ago. I don't know what to expect; will I have to stop working? How long will surgery keep me home? What about radiation treatment - if I have that, will I be able to work? I don't know any specifics yet about the cancer, surgeon appointment isn't til next week. So I'm in limbo. Had…
my family doesn't understand

Chemo has been working things are getting better but my problem is i want the Dr. to change my chemo when it's time for just a maintenance cause i…
The Elves have been busy! Thank you, sweet sisters!
Reggie and I got home from seemingly driving through the entire state of California! I will tell you about the wonderful trip later on ( highlight was seeing Leon Russell from the 2nd row, and having tears run down my face when he sang 'A Song For You")but the elves had delivered 3 ornaments while I was traversing desolate…
Ornament a coming!
I'm giving heads up, there is an ornament to be delivered tomorrow the 16th so someone east and south-surprise! Guess it isn't so big a surprise if I gave a heads up but can't resist.
Trying not to worry.
But I think I see the roller coaster headed my way again. Yesterday was my first mammogram since my dx last year. I thought it would go quickly since I only have one boob to torture but after seeing everyone else come and go and being the last one remaining, I knew something wasn't good. I had to get a second set of films…
Question on profile
As I've been adding friends I noticed that all of you have filled out the what type of bc, how you found it, where, what type of treatment, etc. I didn't do that when I first joined but would like to do it now. I just don't know how. Can anyone help with that or should I email Greta? Thanks! Patti
