Elle... you are one brave woman! I wish you the happiest days from now on. Come here often... hugs always makes one feel better! Many warm () () () () ()s.

PS You and Angelina Jolie should chat! I'll see what I can do about getting you two connected. and

I feel for Angelina with her family history. I have none and they don't even bother with genetic testing if you get to a certain age with no family history.

I will make a point of checking in more. The entire year seems to have been taken up with medical stuff..cataracts, thyroid and now breast cancer. It is like my body said "ok, the party's over".

Thank you again for all of the support. I am having a way better evening thanks to you guys. Gnight.

Dear Elle, I know it doesn't help when you're the one going through it but I hope you can remember that it's only been 2 short weeks since having major surgery. Your strength will come back. Somehow you don't sound pitiful to me, you sound pretty brave and strong after a really lousy year and now this. I hope posting here will help you in some small way, we're all rooting for you and saying prayers for a speedy recovery.

What Dori said...
Thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy and complete recovery.

Elle, IMHO you have every right to feel the way you do. You have been through a lot both physically and mentally recently. When you've been under stress like you, I think our brains eventually say "nope, can't be strong anymore". I hope you understand what I mean.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Elle

Elle --- I have wondered where you have been since we have not heard from you for a bit.

I am so sorry you are having to go through this! Take lots of time to just take it easy and recover!

Any time you want to just vent - come here. We are your online friends. My good wishes go out to you! This is a really rough patch for you!

Thanks for updating us and please take care of yourself! We want to hear how you are progressing. Come as often as you feel up to it.

Hugs!!!

I am 66 and have been 'young at heart' until this year but I intend to get back to denial about aging real soon.

Not quite the same journey, but my CA day was in 2001. Doing great! I am still working as an adjunct instructor, but just restarted carving. Life is good. Bumps along the way and while some are bigger than others, if you have the right attitude... and you most definitely do, you will do fine!
HUGS from my way also! You go girl!

Best wishes to you from a breast cancer survivor. I send hugs and encouragement to you. Although it has been 4 years since my experience, I still remember the shock to mind and body.

I hope you have lots of support from friends and family.

Wow. I am so glad I came here. I didn't want to be like my old aunt Donelda with her medical complaints but was so grouchy about it all yesterday that I felt like a bit do a whine. I remembered a place with a gathering of compassionate people and went there to vent. You have no idea what a difference you make. Cpap struggles would have been huge if not for you folks and now I am feeling less stressed about this cancer. Can't thank you enough. Xoxoxox

Elle, am I detecting a little spring in your step? See, sometimes a little chat helps.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope you keep that spring in your step.
