  1. Stay tuned for mine...I plan on blowing up my neighborhood this weekend....errr frying a turkey in the turkey fryer I mean...So disaster is bound to strike.
  2. Ginny let me know if you get in touch with Sharon. and I'll check my home email, which I almost never check to see if I have anything from her. She's usually the first one to sing up so hopefully she's doing alright.

    Scan Result

    Good news Bruce...Congrats
  4. Something in her heart??? Was it possibly fluid around her heart? Col had that, and we went to the cardiologist and he did an echocardiograham every month for like 2 or 3 months...The fluid just went away on its own.
  5. Did Kasey just take a shot at me for not showing up last time???? lol...Perfectly legitimate excuse Kase...I'll tell you all about it at this upcoming lunch...I PROMISE we'll be there.
  6. Yo how about a little patience...lol. Count the three of us in... Hopefully you can get Kildaire's... KOP is INSANE after thanksgiving....All the crazies going to the mall and stuff.
  7. 45,206...you city boys....
  8. Hey Sandra...Col hasn't had any major problems with the sunny summers here in PA and at the Jersey shore...She takes a lot of precautions as well, as we are both very fair skinned...She definitely wears a hat to protect her head, but it also covers her face as well and protects that...As we know that's where the dreaded rash is usually the worst and the sun definitely increases the effects....All in all, I'd say with the proper precaustions, go have fun in the sun...
  9. Thanks funny Randy...What I find sad, for me anyway, is that when I read the Barbara Walters comment, I actually pictured her in the chair and heard or voice...Apparently I watch too much 20/20...... NOW HOW BOUT THEM PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. Col did carbo/taxol as well, and her blood counts dropped beyond belief after EVERY treament...So low in fact, that she they gave her a blood transfusion, typically about a week out of each treatment this would happen. Don't know it that's a good thing, a bad thing, or anything. Maybe that's not normal, maybe it's not an option for some, it it sure as heck made her feel better for a little while before the next treatment, and she never had to miss a treatment for that.
  11. Amazing what science can do isn't it. A very close friend of mine has a hearing impaired son as well...He just got his second implant, so and is up and running in both ears now.
  12. Col did chemo before tarceva, but has been on tarceva and stable for over a year now. I think the stats are actually for 3 categories, women, non-smoker, and Asians...As in if you any one of thsoe three it will work a little better, but who cares.. It can work for anyone, and if you feel it's an option, argue for it, and make the doctor argue his or her position, they may have a legitimat reason and explanation, or they may just not like you telling them what to try. 2nd opinion is always a good idea.
  13. Jeanette, First sorry to hear of your struggles, but I have a very simple answer for you. There are probably a hundred people who post today on this board who have been given time frames similar to yours, and that was many many years ago. Had my wife and I asked, we would have been given the same time frame...That was 2 years ago as of Oct. 13th and she and I were ice skating with Jack (our 4 yo) just last night. It IS VERY possible to live with this. Best of luck to you.
  14. ALRIGHT!!!! Glad to hear he's finished up...Can't wait untill next week when you right us and tell us how that thing was destroyed...Hang in there, it will be over in no time. Best of luck!!!

    STORY TIME

    But my feet aren't that large...Now what can you do for me...To which they replied, listen lady, maybe if you would have blown out your flip flop and stepped on a pop top like the songs says, you wouldn't be in this situation. I think we're going to have to...
  16. I must have missed a few of your posts, as when I read this one, I had thought that Michael was still on tarceva...Oh well, now that I'm caught up...Col gets monthly Zometa for her bone mets. No problems ever reported or recorded for her with that one. Best of luck.

  19. Surely not the first time you've been suspended I'm sure Connie. That's a crazy story....Sounds like that board is run by communists.
  20. JB

    It is almost here

    Why can't I be a cutie just like Jack? Ginny, we all know that a good account's answer to the question what is 2 plus 2 is always, what would you like it to be.

    GTKY - August 20

    I have always looked forward to the swimming....But this year I was really looking forward to Phelps running the table....When he won that butterfly I cheered so loud I scared Jack right off the couch...Other than that, women's beach volleyball...Misty May and kerry Walsh are INCREDIBLE...They just can't be beat.
  22. That's definitely the bus I was passed out in under the back seat....Nice to see i didn't destroy it...Bruce, be sure to check inside the bus as I left many many empties in there.

    Hang in there Ginny...I know it's not the same but we all love you...Thank you for always being here for us...You are such a strong woman and an inspiration to us all. We'll say some extra prayers for you today.
  24. Mandatory? MANDATORY???? Mandatory Shmandatory.... Just checked the calendar...appears we're all clear for that date. However, I will have to check with the Boss, and the OFFICIALLY maintained home calendar, which I hardly ever look at...Will check with Col and get back with a definite soon. Once Col and I agree that we can attend, we'll have to petition Jack with our request to attend the luncheon with him....He's a tough cookie, we're going to need to substantiate our claim that this is a worthwhile venture, probably swear under oath that we won't force him to sing, and insure that it doesn't conflict with his watching of the ND football game or any episode of Curious George. In addition, we'll have to promise that in return for his attendance at this lunch he is entitled to and guarenteed 5 hours of play time with his girlfriend down the street. Kids, they get two months away from being 4 and all of sudden they are their own little person...What happened to my mini me?
