I think in football, they call that broken field running, Cin!
And you just do as much dodging and snake-like moves as you can girl...to keep on ducking those bullets.Thanks for the very complete explanation of the procedure, too...because otherwise I really had no clue what a talc procedure is...OR what VATS means.
Do ya ever get the feeling that you could hang out your own shingle for all you're starting to understand about this disease, whether or not you EVER wanted to know it?
Many, many good thoughts will be with you tomorrow, Cindi. 5 days in, huh? Well...better they keep a close eye on you than not...but sure hope to hear something asap that all went well and you're on the mend.
Remember....DON'T WORRY!

Aw, crud. It's tough to get your mind all wrapped around surgery, only to have it postponed.
The up side, is that you'll be heading home. But I hope things work out so that they can do what needs to be done for you, Fay...and then you can again return home and stay put, eh?
Yes, you should be getting a pile of mail even after you leave the newly renamed Duarte Chicken Cult Hospital and Pub (well, Debi, Ry and Cindi DO have a lot of influence, you know?
) Hope that cute guy from Chippendales has good legs too, as he jogs on over to your place to deliver it! Keep us updated, Fay, please? You are such a good advocate for yourself...that I learn from you all the time.

You didn't realize how much you'd be missed???? Sheesh, Dougie....we thought you well understood how much we enjoyed your journal entries and looked forward to them. You take them away from us...we're gonna get surly!
I, too, am so sorry to hear about your friend...and also sorry your scan reports weren't ALL good. But I sincerely hope they were MOSTLY good and that you are hanging on to your humor and upbeat approach to all of this.
A nice cruise on the S.S.Remission sounds wonderful...and I hope you don't mind if I "borrow" that phrase and pass it along to a friend. She's been battling a relapse of breast cancer from 11 yrs ago, for the past 3-4 yrs....doing well enough that she and hubby are spending a week at a time on their sailboat this summer!! I bet she'd love the name, even though she's not fully in remission....YET!
We look forward to your return and your journal entries. Next time you need to take a break from here...just ask Ry for a hall pass. She will FINE you if you don't, you know!
P.S. Your brother sounds like a great guy...but I bet you already know that.

You know what they say, Oliver? You can live on "stable" for a long time!!
My liver tumors are being kept stable too...after a 50% reduction from the first three cycles of chemo. I start cycle 10 on Monday!! No ill effects (unless you consider having a head that looks like a baby duckling's arse an ill effect!
) and soon as they get rid of the little buggers in my brain...I'll be looking forward to Christmas too...this coming one AND the next! Glad to hear your good report AND that they will keep a close eye on you to make sure things stay the way they are!!

Darlin' Fay...
FINALLY, I find this thread that says you'll be "in" for a month. Can't believe I missed it before.
I'm hoping they are erring on the side of caution when they spewed out that time frame...and that it turns out to be much shorter than a month. Not to again use a chicken reference
but you're one tough bird and my money is on you for getting sprung sooner!Why did Fay cross the road?
To get away from the green jello!!!!!!!!
Do what you need to do and take good care of yourself until the Pink Chicken Cult Bus gets there with reinforcements...alright?
-
Wishing you speedy results and ALL good news! Let us know...ok?
-
Congrats.
Having spent the last 34 yrs. surrounded by an over-abundance of testosterone...I had to wait for my future DIL to feel like I finally have a girl. But feel it, I do. Just think...while the boys are out getting dirty, finding frogs and playing any game that has a ball included in the equipment....you and your daughter can head for the mall or do more girly things. Such fun. Best of both worlds.
Congrats again...
-
Go ahead, Ry.....fine his butt....that'll teach him!
Lissen up, Doug...you do this to us again and put such a strain on our worries...and we'll troop out there in Fay's pink bus and toilet paper your front yard, ya hear?
Am very glad to hear all is well...but you better have SOME KINDA GOOD EXCUSE for disappearing like this. We can't wait to hear it....
(imagine the sounds of many feet tapping, impatiently)
-
As the old saying goes..."Mama said there'd be days like this. She just didn't tell me they'd sometimes last for weeks!"
Hope your bad day is LONG gone by the time Monday rolls around again, Ann. Enjoy the weekend...even if it takes an extra Margarita or two to do it! (Have one of the extras for me...since I've been forced onto the wagon for the time being.
I keep saying GIDDYUP!!!!!!!!!! but no drink appears. ) -
Sneaking in again to say, YES I DO HAVE HIGH AMBITIONS....I WANT TO LIVE A LOOOOONG TIME!!
TPBM has sparkling blue eyes and is taller than average.
-
Unlike how we felt in high school....NOW, the more other people NED hangs out with...the better we like it, eh?
Great news. Tell Mom to take NED and go out dancin'!!
-
Brilliant, Pat, and thanks to Katie for the reminder.
I do hope you hear from someone soon. This is odd. I keep checking this post to see if anyone is hearing anything....
DOUG WE ARE WORRIED
....WHERE ARE YOU???????? -
maybe we could call it a "chicken roast" ???
Is there honor among feather afficionados?
And does this mean that since I'm getting radiation, I'm gonna be "fried chicken"?
Did ya ever notice how many plays on words there are for chicken-related things? Gotta love it, huh?
-
Well, first I'm gonna mail a card direct to Fay...but then, hmmmmmmmmmmmm....poultry goods. There ought to be a lot of them out there, huh?
If I find something with Fay's "name on it"...you can bet it will go to Becky for hand delivery. I assume Becky will be taking her camera along too...to catch the moment when Fay accepts her Chicken Hazing?
-
Love it when there is a good plan to look forward too. Really positive news, Tina and Charlie.
Looking forward to hearing it's reaped GREAT RESULTS!!
-
Shelley beat me...have to change my answer.
NO I never streaked but my friend Jean mooned a guy out of a car window in high school. Does that count?
TPBM has a thing for Chinese food.

Rachel....our Alaskan Princess....I bid you a fond farewell, dear one.
You will be greatly missed...but you surely left a stamp on a lot of hearts...both here, and in your personal life.Deepest condolences to Stan and to Ole too...along with all the rest of Rachel's family.
To you, Susan, her dearest friend....thank you for keeping in touch with us and for conveying our feelings back to Rachel. I hope she heard them all, even if she couldn't acknowledge. You and Rachel were blessed to have the connection you did.
I hope you might feel comfy in stopping by here once in a while, Susan. We feel we've come to know you...and you're always welcome here, if it doesn't make you sad to come here.
Godspeed, Rachel. You were one sweet, dear lady.

Sheesh!!
I never got a list like any of you mention for chemo....but during radiation there was a booklet with warnings.The one that upset me the most???? NO sprouts!! Like alfalfa or broccoli sprouts...which I love on a sandwich. Guess it's too hard to make sure they are clean???
Oh, and scrubbing the outside of a cantaloup to get all the bacteria/germs off so you don't cut thru into the fruit, contaminating it. I mean, if you have to soak the dang thing in Clorox who wants to eat it afterwards?
But re: use of condoms??? Oy vey~!
It wasn't in MY booklet!! -
Rachel
in SCLC GROUP
My heart is heavy for all of you, Susan....you and all of Rachel's family.
I know the value of a long time, special best friend...and I so admire your dedication to Rachel and also how you come here to keep us posted. It can't be easy to watch..let alone have to relate here.
Rachel is a special gal. I'm glad she's at home surrounded by love...but I wish like anything that this wasn't happening to her.
-
Healing and strength vibes, Beth....and we really DO miss you....lots.
Hoping all the good thoughts coming your way will have you fixed up in no time so you can join the chicken/Mary Kay bus headed out to see FayA. It wouldn't be a real road trip withoutcha!!
-
Dang...now I'm wishing I hadn't thrown out my feather collection. I could have made Fay a nice bathrobe out of them for her hospital stay!
Thanks for all the info, Connie. I hope the hospital employs a beast of burden to cart all the incoming mail to Fay's room. I have a feeling they're going to need one.
By beast of burden...I mean:
Fay....you like? Meet your new mailman!

Philip commandeered the Royal Jet for some Polo match, dontchaknow.
Princes can be such bloody dolts when it comes to sharing. But righto...we've got a bus I hear now and long as I don't have to sit way in the back, I'm game. I get motion sickness you know, if I can't see where I'm going.
Debi...pass along one of those finger sandwiches please, will you? Or do you call them wing sandwiches?
Who's driving? And who is Mary Kay...is she a member here?
Let's get this show on the road. Cheerio. Has anyone seen my Royal Wig Holder?
-
Too small (if you're talking about candy bars!
)Which is worse....
...too hungry or too full?

I would pay off #1 son's mortgage and second mortgage, and make sure he and his girl have the wedding of their dreams. Then I would pay off #2 son's student loans for grad school.
I would find/buy/contract to build a house with a main floor master and a room for me to do my crafts and store yarn, fabric, other grimple I need for crafting.
I'd secure college for my DH's two grandsons. I'd make a major donation to a couple of pet shelters and rescue groups, our town library (which is 40% funded by donations/fund raisers!!) and then I'd buy hubby a Porsche convertible and buy the two of us a TWO WEEK STAY AT PEBBLE BEACH WITH ALL THE GOLF WE CAN PLAY....TAKING A FEW FRIENDS ALONG WITH US SO WE HAVE A FOURSOME WE ENJOY!
If there was anything left at the end of the day...well then just before closing, I'd hit the jewelry store and get me the biggest honkin' Ceylon sapphire set in platinum with diamonds, that I could afford.
And anything left after that, I'd split between Praxair Cancer Center in Danbury and LChelp!!
And you just do as much dodging and snake-like moves as you can girl...to keep on ducking those bullets.
Having spent the last 34 yrs. surrounded by an over-abundance of testosterone...I had to wait for my future DIL to feel like I finally have a girl. But feel it, I do.

Let's play another game...

Spring....as it's renewal....the cycle begins again. Fall is lovely and I AM in N.England, after all...but after 22 yrs here, spring is now my favorite.
Which is better....chocolate sauce or caramel/butterscotch sauce?
