Mom went through what sounds like the same regimen.  She also had the same issues with the length of the med.  However, after around 25 years she's still kicking!

Good to hear!  I'm doing great -- but every year at scan time, there is some anxiety.  Luckily, in my small hospital here, they tell me the results of the mammogram before I leave there, so I don't have wait like most folks!

Thanks!  Scan was clear, and now I don't have to go back for a whole year.  Was getting scanned every 3-4 months.

So glad your scan was clear.  My latest mammogram was also clear -- 4 years since diagnosis -- 3 years since end of treatment (well, still on 1 med for 10 years, but active treatment done for 3).  I'm hoping I can get off this 1 med in 5 years, but for some reason my oncologist said I'd have to take it 10 years.  Bummer!    Congrats to you1

I've been busy with life -- working part time and getting my health and fitness back in line since cancer recovery.  I have a nice UT hooded jacket that I'd like to give to someone that wants it -- it's a size XXL -- I don't plan to ever be able to wear it again!  :)   Not sure the link works for the picture -- hope so.  If not, it's gray, with orange TENNESSEE across the front with the hoodie lined in orange. Anyway, if anyone is interested, message me your address and I'll send to you!

I'm sorry I missed this post some 12 years ago.  I see Barbi has not been on here since 2018..... I hope she is doing OK these days.  ANyone hear from her lately?


And oh boy, did y'all see all the posters that responded to this thread so many moons ago????  Dang I miss all of them.  

BarbiVol passed away a few years ago.  I believe in 2020 because, if I remember correctly, I couldn't go to the funeral due to getting chemo for breast cancer.   I don't remember the month, but she had been sick for several years.  

Update:  BTW, It was April 2020 - here's her obituary.

I love the picture of Gus in the end zone when Seivers caught the pass that beat the tiglets. The caption says that he was holding a briefcase full of cash.   

Gus graduated from Rule High School around the same time as my Dad and Mom. He might have been a year ahead of Dad -- he was friends with much of my family, especially my uncle Joe Caldwell.  A good man who was admired by all.

9  Sports / VTTW Message Board / I hereby nominate Coach Josh Heupel on: October 16, 2022, 03:13:39 EDT
for SEC and National Coach of the Year.   I don't believe ANYONE, ANYWHERE saw this team being 6-0 at this point in the season......he's done an amazing job IMO.

Wow. You are a woman of great faith. 

LOL!  Hubs didn't have much faith either -- after the first play, I said "see!" -- after the 2nd and still 2 seconds, I just looked at him and said "Told ya so! We are winning this right now!"
 
11  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: There were several times that I just knew we were going to lose.... on: October 16, 2022, 02:51:32 EDT
......the last time being when Bama lined up for that FG at the end. It would have been the usual for us to lose a great, close game on that FG.

Even when he missed it I "knew" that there wasn't enough time for us to win and that Bama would win in OT.

But the fact we won that kind of game against that kind of opponent means this: Things are changing.     

I was just the opposite -- I told my hubs when they missed that FG, we've got 15 seconds on the clock and 2 timeouts -- we can win this without OT!!

Hope you enjoy retirement and drink plenty of that fine wine!   Congrats droner! 

As for SS, I took it when I retired at 62.5 but I wasn't working...I'd rather live on SS than using my IRA for now.  After 5 years, I got bored and started back working 18 hours a week and loving it!  After a year long battle with breast cancer and surviving that, I decided sitting around at home was boring and it was time do something for me -- so I'm working with an OT as her personal assistant and meeting so many great people!   Funny how life is -- 
13  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Here is the usual Friday reminder.... on: May 06, 2022, 05:13:38 EDT
I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today as usual on Friday. I will be resting today in preparation for my birthday dinner tomorrow night. I won't say my age but I was born in 1952.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Happy Birthday!!  You aren't that old - got me by 2 years!   Hope your birthday celebration is wonderful -- I KNOW it's going to be filled with wonderful wine!

This is ridiculous. We made it through an entire season with Delta, which we were led to believe was the deadliest thing since Ebola. Now a new variant comes along that is less severe than the common cold (I know, I had it), and we’re shutting everything down. fizzleing clown world.  

For some people it may not be like a cold --- remember that -- just because you had a mild case, your neighbor may die from it.   Sorry but I'm sick and tired of folks making light of a virus that has already killed over 800K people -- some young and healthy just like you.   If this variant is less deadly -- that will be a f'ing blessing.

WOW!!  My whole life growing up, Mom and I sat in section S -- about 30 rows up.   I grew up watching the Vols, Tennessee Walking Horse and of course, at age 5, the cheerleaders were #1 on my list!  LOL!    So glad they are finally upgrading -- how many seats will be lost with this renovation?

I heard there are issues with Karen Weekly.... no clue if true, but been told she's a b##ch.   Just wondering with Ralph retiring if that's the issue.   Again, just what I've been told.

Must have been....I'm on YT TV and the entire game was on ESPN2 once it switched over.   
21  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: espn SUCKS on: June 14, 2021, 01:04:15 EDT
It started on ESPNU because VA game ran long... switched to ESPN2 and stayed there the remainder of the game as originally scheduled.

Tomorrow is going to be WILD!   I hate I missed the game today, but was watching my son's softball team win big, including a grand slam!   Love the video and the crowd!   What a great atmosphere! GBO!!!   VFL!!!

I will be leaving the office at 10:00 today and traveling to beautiful Litchfield Beach. I'm taking enough wine for 10 people. That might be enough for the five of us.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.
Enjoy!!!
I've just been able to start enjoying wine again.... between chemo screwing up my stomach and my taste,  I'm just now able to enjoy an occasional glass!   Heading to the beach for a few days next month... plan to enjoy some then!
