Relay for life
First time ever walking in the Survivor Lap but such a great experience to see everyone in our Alaska community area out there with such positive spirits ... we had different live music groups every hour .... it never got dark enough to see the luminaries as we have so much daylight now ... I thought of all of you on this…
We've GOT to get together more often!
I posted a picture on my Expressions page of Deborah (Chickadee55), Linda (GabeNAbby Mom), and me (Double Whammy) taken at lunch today. We were soooo sorry Re couldn't make it because of a migraine. We missed her,doggone it. Hope you're much better, Re. From the pictures posted, this is the third time we've gotten together…
Texasgirl10 is home!!
Dawne got to go home late yesterday afternoon. She was very glad to get home!! When I checked in with her earlier in the day she said she was feeling some better. I think she is still really tired and just worn out. Thanks again for all the prayers. I am sure she will be on in a few days when she is feeling better. God…

Heaven Can Wait Breast Cancer Walk
I will be doing our local cancer walk on Sunday. Heaven Can Wait is a fund raiser for "Sara's Project" which provides help and support for breast cancer paitents. They were a help for me at the beginning of my journey and I feel that by doing this I am helping others who are just starting out. I will definitely be taking…
Very recently diagnosed w/ Cancer - Scared and Mad!
Hello! I'll make this brief: I had a biopsy on May 24th on a swollen lymph node under my left arm. The diagnosis; Metastatic Breast Carcinoma. This is weird because they did mammograms and ultrasounds of both breasts just before the biopsy and didn't find anything there, just several under my arm, one that was 'huge'. My…
Hair biopsy results in
And there is still no definitive answer. I do have some hair follicles - we knew that. Afterall, I do have some hair. What they saw under the microscope are some follicles in the telogen (resting) phase as well as in the anagen (growing) phase. Just not very many of them. The dermatologist said my biopsy results are…
I am soooo stupid!
After recovering from shingles and a bacterial intestinal infection, today I played cat whisperer and picked up the sweetest, most loving cat (Dr. Jekykl) who ever lived. Dr. Jekyl was purring and giving me sweet eyes and then bit the crap out of me. What makes it even smarter on my part is that I have been warned by the…
Had Chemo Port Surgery
Hi Everyone, I had my chemo port surgery on May 30th. I was scared to death. My cousin got stuck at work and could not be there with me. I found out my boyfriend got off work early and got to the hospital about 15 minutes after they took me to surgery. Oh well, I said my prayers and told them okay let's go do this! It took…
Hip effusion is back
Well, it never really went away, just less painful for a while. My rheumatologist did more blood work and Wednesday I will have some fluid drawn to be tested and a cortisone shot. Yuk and Yuk, but anything to relieve the pain. I do quickly visit and read some posts but haven't been on for a while. Just been really busy or…
Happy with no reconstruction?
I am 40 years old and am just wanting opinions from anyone that has not had any reconstruction. I have had problems with my expanders, right had surgery 2 weeks after mastectomy in Sept., in April had staph infection after 30 days of meds. Left side was removed in March because the expander was coming out. I am afraid the…
new surgery date
So dear reader, the last time we left you I had cancelled my bilateral mastectomy because I had no insurance and the hospital wanted me to show up with $28K. I did some research and I went to the Caritas clinic here in town that receives most of the Komen money available and qualified to receive my care with $5 for clinic…
OT - Crazy Horse Volksmarch
Will get to do the Crazy Horse Volksmarch tomorrow. It is at the Crazy Horse Memorial (Custer, SD). It's 10K and starts in the parking lot and you hike up to the arm of the carving and back down. The going up is a bit of a 'hike' as it has quite a rise and is through the 'woods' but the hike back is really just a 'walk in…
DO NOT OPEN anything from ~lsqxx00~
It's spam! Coach online advertisement. If we don't open this crap, then IT will have to STOP IT'S careless spamming because we aren't giving IT a chance to continue. By NOT clicking on this REPLY to our discussion topic, the spammer will get bored and go away. That's how it usually works. HUGS Mary
Spammed again!
To the person abusing this site with your ridiculous spam, SHAME ON YOU! We are dealing with a life-threatening disease (do you understand life-threatening?!) and we need this discussion board to seek advice, encouragement, and to just talk to someone who knows exactly what we are going through. Sometimes we can't get onto…
I told my daughter finally
I just don't know why I wasn't able to tell her up until now. She lives 3 hours away and remarried and had another baby and seemed to want to live it this go-round without me. I was very much involved in her life when she was married before and had 2 of my grandchildren. How I loved those times! But when she moved, she…
Texasgirl10 update

She really wants to go home but they have said probably not till Saturday.Thank you all for the prayers and concern, she…
