It seems like the two of you
It seems like the two of you had a cheesehead connection, so as I am settling into my seat at Miller Park...preparing to watch the Brewers beat the Pirates...I will offer up a wedge of cheddar to your spirit, the two of you are real.

Jojo
Thanks, Jojo. I am proud to be an honorary cheesehead and accept the wedge of cheddar with pleasure. Looking forward to getting my taste buds back and tasting it!


Go Brewers!

Today is the day
Moopy,

You are probably in treatment right now receiving your very LAST chemo. I am so proud of you. We had some tough times these last four months, all of us on chemo did. But the biggest blessing of all has been the way we have supported, depended on, and clung to each other. How could I have gone through this experience without all my dear friends here, especially you Moopy and Jackie (my treatment sisters)? I don't know, and I'm glad I won't find out. Now a few of us will be going through radiation together -- another comfort. Moopy, I hope with all my heart that this last treatment is a breeze and that you begin your permanent recovery as soon as possible. I know you will.

Jackie, let us know what the onc. says about your radiation treatments. I start mine next Monday, May 4th. I guess we are off to the races again, huh?

Milly, congratulations on your last treatment!! It is so gratifying to see so many of my sisters surviving and thriving. My best to all of you.

Mimi

Mimi and Moopy
My apt. isn't until late this afternoon but you my dear treatment sista's will be the first to know my plans. All the help and encouragement i have received from you has made this all so much better. I truly would have been lost without you. Our little army will march on bravely through radiation also.

I will be awaiting news on Mon. Mimi you are so brave, i know you will be their star radiation pupil, and pass on to us all the invaluable lessons you learn.
all my best

Thank you for sending Milly and me hugs and best wishes. Peggy, I am glad you stuck with us. It is good to have you here.

With all these shining lights and caring thoughts sent our way, Milly and I will have a blessed day of final chemo treatment.

Right On, Jackie
Jackie, you have described Mimi so well--our brave young star who passes on to us the invaluable knowledge she learns so well and quickly.

With her and Kristin and Noel and all our sisters currently in radiation or finished, I bet we will be fine. (I'd put money on it, but beating the beast is already expensive!)

To those ending chemo today
To those ending chemo today (I know Moopy is one but I think someone else is but my non-chemo brain is acting out and blocking information) hooray. Love the good news, keep it coming. I know that radiation lies ahead but it is so doable. But right now celebrate the completion of this part of treatment. I didn't have chemo or a mastectomy, only lumpectomies, radiation and hormone therapy. I have nothing but admiration for all of you that while going through all the treatments and the side effects etc. took the time to compassinately share information and support others. I am awed to be in such company. My journey was so easy in comparison to most of you, well, almost all of you. I am grateful that it was, but I know if it had not been easy and if I needed you that I had all of you covering my back. You are the most kind, caring, loving people.
Stef

Stef
Stef, you message says it so well. I am awed, too, to be in such company as yours and our sisters. I know, too, that you all are covering my back even while your lights are directing my path ahead.

Milly, are your ready? I sure am!

Love Your Poem!
Marcia, how funny and sweet. I love your poem. It makes me smile and laugh out loud for the second day in a row. I am sure Milly and everyone who is finishing or finished treatment will love it, too.

And you have talent, too--it is not always easy to make us chemo girls smile, much less laugh, as you will remember.

Guess your last lines are telling us we won't need to schedule hair stylist appointments soon. Otherwise, great poem, sister!

Moopy
Moopy I will be thinking of you all day. As well as all the others that are finishing up Chemo. I wish for all of you a speedy recoverey. I had a few tough days after my last treatment but knowing it was the last helped so much. The last of being sick, the last of staying awake from the steroids, and Moopy the best part you will be able to taste again very soon. I had been looking forward to eating some of my favorites now that I cantaste them again. I had my italian sub but I am still looking forward to some Mexican food. There is a little place we love in New Hampshire I am hoping to get there in the next couple of weeks.

Jackie, This is for you. There is hope yet. I have little fuzzy hairs coming in all over my head already. I thought it would take alot longer for it to start coming back, my last chemo was on April 10th. I am so glad you madeit to your party. I was there in spirit with you.

Mimi, I will be thinking of you on Monday, please give us all the pointers you can. I don't think I am to far behind you. I am going on Thurs. to get measured and to get the tattoos.

I will be keeping all of my pink sisters in my thoughts and as always in my heart. I don't know what I would do without you!!!!!! Love, Nancy

last chemo
Last chemo!!! YEA!!!! Me too! Because of your unfortunate postponement, our last chemo is on the same day. I think you have had more chemo than I did. I started Feb 24th and I had only 4 cycles. Whatever, we'll both be done! I really feel your joy! Good Luck to both of us!

To celinelvr...
Congratulations to you, too - for your final chemo treatment today! It is one heck of an accomplishment!

Kind regards, Susan

Well said, Stef
Thank you! - I couldn't possibly have done better, as usual, regarding your beautiful posts! My own journey was lumpectomy/chemo/rads/still taking meds. I have heartfelt admiration & respect for all of our sisters for whom the journey has included much more invasive & multiple surgeries (i.e., mastectomies & reconstructions).

I joined the group just 2 weeks ago, now a soon to be 6 year survivor. Again, I am awed by those currently undergoing treatment who are willing and of big enough hearts & souls to support others while doing so.

Kind regards, Susan

I agree with Stef and Susan
I agree totally regarding the admiration for those whose journey has been much rougher than mine. I had a lumpectomy 1/21/09 ... and am now in week 8 of chemo (taxol & herceptin) ... and will be followed by radiation. But what I have/am still going through is nothing compared to those of you who have had multiple surgeris, much tougher chemo, reconstruction etc. You are truly a brave and wonderful group and you have no idea how much you are admired, appreciated and loved.

Moopy got her flashlight this evening!
Hello, everyone!

I am pleased to say that Moopy finished her sixth (and last) round of TAC this evening, with flying colors! I took her out for a quick bite to eat and she has been snoozing comfortably ever since we got home.

We would like to thank you one and all from the bottom of our hearts for all of the love and understanding and wisdom and thoughtfulness and prayers and humor and strength you have shared with us. Not to mention the dazzling, waving flashlights which appeared so very dim only fifteen weeks ago.

I am sure the Moopster herself will have much more to say once she has rested up, so I'll pipe down now. But I have never felt so proud of anything in my life - not even when I walked back down the aisle with her as my wife, almost 17 years ago - as I feel now just to be the husband of this beautiful and brilliant and strong and totally amazing woman.

Thank you all again and again!
Joe

Thank you Joe for the update, being here for you guys is such a blessing! It is a two way street, when we give we receive. I have had you two on my mind all day long so I am very pleased to hear all went well.

Hugs to you both,

THANK YOU, Mr.Professor!
Whew, big sigh of relief! Did you hear it?

Thanks, so very much, for the update. And RE wrote better than I could've about the mutual admiration society we've got going around here.

Congratulations to Moopy! And...

You're a special guy, Joe.

Kind regards, Susan

P.S.: Didja see my post from earlier today: "Dear Aortus (a/k/a Joe)"?

GREAT NEWS !!!!!
Thanks for the update Joe. I've been checking the posts ever since I got home from work ... waiting to hear from you or Moopy.

You talked about how proud you are of Moopy ... well ... I can tell you there are a bunch of us "out here" who are so very proud of you. You are one in a million. Not every husband would do what you've done for Moopy ... and done it with love. You are both so lucky to have each other.

I wish you a ton of happiness for the next 117 years together.

hugs.

Super!
Joe,
You are the sweetest guy! And you and Moopy are too cute. You are both so inspiring here on the site, as a strong and committed couple, and I love reading your posts. I am so glad you're there for Moopy, and here for us!!

Moopy,
I am SO proud of you. I know I haven't been here that long, but I've read enough of your posts to know that you have made it through the darkest nights and the dimmest days, and you are now emerging on the other side in the sunshine and moonlight. You are a shining beacon for all of us.

Lots of love (I'm so proud just to know you!!),

Moopy's day
There once was a gal name of Moopy.
Her chemo did make her quite droopy.
She's done with that now
And so, "Holy Cow!)
We welcome her to our great groupy!

Oh, my--that's really bad, isn't it? But anyway, welcome to the POST-chemo group! And we are a happy little group, aren't we? So happy for you to be done. It seems you have made a lot of friends on this board with your loving and caring attitude, so you deserve to have a big cyber space celebration with us!
