I am glad to hear that Nurse! what a relief. I know the constant rechecks are a pain, but they will be reassuring.
It was 'a bit more that a hair cut,' wasn't it? I am glad you are through the gauntlet. you made it out the other side. Now to get all those cells healthy again and enjoy the summer.

It's amazing to read all of your stories on here! I had grandparents die of cancer when I was very young, but I was so young that I never really understood it. Then this April, my cousin who had been fighting melanoma for over a year died. Now I really understand the impact of cancer. He was only 26 years old. Apparently he had just begun a new treatment that would have been more effective. The night I got that phone call was the worst night of my life, even worse that I couldn't afford to fly back home for the funeral, or that I didn't spend time with him before I moved. Keep fighting guys!!!

WAY TO GO Nurse!!!!! We knew you could do it!!







Guys, I have one more quilt swap to finish. After that the only place you will see me on BYC will be here, unless I get bounced. Too much BS going on and life is too short to have to deal with it. If you are on Facebook hit me up, I'm over there most of the time these days.

Just keep us informed. We want to know that your spirit is intact, and you are beating cancer's fanny.

Wow Coyote........

too bad about the BS ?! We'll all have to keep up with this thread so we can keep you around....So be it!

Glad Nurse is all done with her treatments! Yay! Let us know how you do! how are you feeling?

Deerman, I know that area in FL......we had a place we went to every year on Hutchinson Island about an hour north of you , right on the ocean too. Very nice. We sold the place just before one of those hurricanes that came through there and caused havoc on the place. We got out just in time. It was an older building and we kept getting assessed left and right. Time to go. Lots of fun memories though....and you can't beat that view.

THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT -- My hair..........OY it's so freaking curly it's not funny....

Nothing straightens it out, I love my regular curly/wavy hair, BUT this is unreal!!!! It's gotta be about 4 inches or so long now, but it coils up to my head and looks like 1 inch - think Harpo Marx

I'll update with a pic...

Hello guys, I'm still kicking. I wanted to mention that after all the chemo treatment I went through in 2010 I don't remember a lot of it.

I was saying crazy stuff that didn't make sence. I even sent coyotemajic a PM like we hadn't already talked.

I did have three other adults with me for 2010 so they made sure I was alright.

I'm done with all my oncology drugs and the radiation which was last year. I had to have my breast reconstruction removed because of infection and I was malnutrition, DUH I told them I was anorexic. I'm getting ready to attemp the reconstruction again but the best news is I now weigh 130lbs. I used to weigh 80lbs for a long time. I owe it all to my good old script maranol. Mary Jane was good to me.
My hair is coming in all curly and I'm gonna go with it. I'm just thankful I have hair.

So now I get bloodwork done every three months. I'll have to sweat those appointments out and get my port flushed once a month. So all in all I feel better than I have in five years. I can't beleive it so I'm living it up just in case the cancer returns. Coyotemajic my cancer was Her3positive. Mine was caused from estrogen. Just letting you guys know that if I disapear, I suffer from depression and I isolate myself from the world. No more of that right now.
I read the thread to page 130 I think so how are you Gin? I sure hope well. Coyotemajic, I did read about yours coming back. So how are you doing? I know I missed alot of stuff from page 130 to 187 I think. Coyotemajic if you PM me your address I will send you a healing stone. They are really cool and I always have mine with me. Sorry for being gone so long but just remember this ladies CANCER FEARS US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW I have red and blue spray on hair color on my head in my avator. I didn't figure I would have another opportunity to try it out. I had a bunch of laughs, 50 year old woman with red and blue hair.
