Thanks to all of you who gave me encouraging words. I made it through stereotactic (nasty headache for a while) and through chemo the next day! I'm just hoping this new combo works and perhaps I can go without further brain mets for a while. The Holiday Flamingo was a birthday present. Isn't he cute?

We will going without further brain mets for while while we see ....keeping going "the fight is fighting, otherwise is not a fight"

And I do love the pink flamingo....did you name her yet?? Now you have a special reminder of the birthday you so valiantly strived for!! Keep up the great fight Sweetie, you are a winner. Keeping you in our vigils>>Believe51

I haven't thought of a clever name for this flamingo - but I would love suggestions. I do have three yard flamingos my best friend gave me.....they are named "Harry", "Tooey" and "Nuey". LOL I haven't been on here much...still kind of bummed. I prefer to uplift people when I'm here and I haven't had much to offer. I'm hoping I am turning around now.

My daughter would so love that pink flamingo. She has a small collection of them. Don't have any ideas for names though. I would suggest something about your fight or the strength that you have.

How about Barbingo?! (Barb (-flam) + ingo)

Glad you're feeling better, Barb! BTW, we'll take you as you come. http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/clip_art/gstres/thghts/thought-what No fair weather friends here!

The word flamingo is derived from the Latin word for FLAME. (She could represent your Eternal Flame...)

Flamingos can live up to 60 yrs in captivity. She can be your lifelong PAL or BUD.

A bunch of flamingos are known as a PAT of flamingos (an androgynous name to boot!). I'm just saying...

Heres hoping that you start feeling like youir old self again soon, and that 2008 brings health and happiness to you....the flamingo is darling...I love flamingos, probably because they are a warm weather bird....I do not know how I have survived living in the cold for so many years, I am a Florida girl at heart...someday..... glad to see you back with us on the boards, when you aren't here, you are missed!

Glad to hear your feeling better and that you had nothing more than a headache. Love the Flamingo -- makes me think of warm places to go.
