Hey PinkGirl - where are You?
Hey Pink -
I've noticed you haven't posted in awhile. I hope you are okay. all the best caya |
Hi Caya -
The Member's List says she was on the site today. Guess the cat got her tongue! |
Thank you Caya - I am fine.
I've been playing Scrabble on Facebook but always check in to see how everyone is doing. Thanks for thinking of me. |
hi pinky...just wondering is this your new latest photo(as in is this your own hair?) its a great photo. I'm all about checking out everyones hair.
Mine has just started to shade over my scalp area but it is way more grey. I was ash before now i look grey!! My children think its funny suzanne |
Thanks for checking in Pink.
all the best caya |
Hi Mimi
Everyone seems to like that picture of me but I feel like I'm "living a lie". That's not what I really look like now. That's what I wish I looked like. The pic was taken during the 3 weeks between my biopsy and mastectomy. So that is my real hair before chemo. My hair is the same colour now but a few inches shorter. I am also a lot fatter :( |
crazy how we long for pieces of ourself that we once new and liked?
This is just so wierd to be looking in the mirror and sort of recognizing the person looking back. She's changed and now she's a whole lot greyer...lol wonder if the stuff men put on thier beards(you know to rid the grey)would work on 2mm hair growth...lol suzanne |
Hey PinkGirl....
Glad to see you are keeping an eye on us, we need all the guidance we can get!! LOL. Happy that you are staying busy too. Bet you cannot wait to see TipToe again, huh??>>Believe51

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_6_209.gif Pinky,
I love your current picture too. I just noticed your age (part of your signature). I don't believe it. You look like a teeny bopper! I'm around your age and look old enough to be your mother. I think I've aged 15 years in the last 15 months, my hair is much grayer (than before dx) and I have gained almost 50 pounds to boot during this time period! Whenever I look in the mirror now, I always say "Who are you? And what did you do with Joanne?". Hugs, Jo |
Thank you very much Joanne. I've received so many compliments on that picture that I'm thinking I should change it. I don't look like that anymore. I agree with Mimi - I think I was longing for some piece of my former self!
I also gained a ton of weight - started gaining while I was on taxol and then continued to gain through the herceptin and now I am blaming it on the arimidex. Although I am not as active as I used to be, I certainly can't eat the way I used to - the weight comes on very easily now. But .... I am determined to lose some of it, I just don't know when :) If I can find someone with a wide-angle lens I will take a current picture of myself and post it!!! Yes Marie, I am so looking forward to seeing Tiptoe again. I have had so much fun with this - hope everyone else has enjoyed it as much as I have. I know Marlys does!!! |
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_13_13.gif http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_9_17.gifFunny Pink Girl!
You definitely don't need a wide-angle lens! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_219.gif |
Lady Pink, please come back to us when you can. I know you love to garden. I guess in a few months your weather will allow you to get out and start working the soil, huh? I've gotta start getting my stuff ready and figuring out what I'm going to plant and how much. Then in the "play room" ie- Keeping your mind off of BC, later in the summer/fall we need to start the "canning" thread, right? Love ya, Bill
|
Uh oh, Dumb***, me, I just remembered that most of us should avoid home-canned products, as per the oncs. right? Sorry, my nickname at work in late fall is, "the Pickler"
|
That's exactly right Bill. I will be able to
start working the soil in a couple of months. |
Pink and Joanne, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one blossoming. I choose to look at it this way---there are times its seems like there is not enough of me to go around---so I'm making more!
|
Sassy,
Blossoming works for me. It has a nice, pleasant ring to it. I also like "ewes not fat, ewes just fluffy". Friends are giving me fridge magnets - "I never met a calorie I didn't like" .... "If God had meant for us to be thin, He wouldn't have created chocolate" ... Someone (a good friend) sent me a picture of a huge donkey with his head in the fridge - caption: "if you want to lose weight, keep your fat a$$ out of the fridge". I like "blossoming". |
My sisters-in-law gave me a pillow at Christmas that says,
"Dear God, if you can't make me skinny, please make my friends fat." We were all having to wear our "Big Girl" jeans at the time. Ample is another word I like. |
Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut here, but I can't. Alot of women worry about putting on weight, but in my opinion, that does not affect your beauty. We all age, men included, and put on weight, and get beat up by Life, and accumulate scars, and we all get tired and worn down by what we have to deal with, but then as each new Day dawns, we arise to fight the battles of the day. I see the beauty in your smiles, and shining in your eyes, and I can "hear" the girlish giggles in your voices. Please don't fret too much about the weight thing. You are all gorgeous. Love, Bill
|
Sassy,
"Ample" works for me too. Your choice of words is so much more kind than mine. I have to refrain from calling myself a big fat pig, a buffalo, you'd need a forklift to get me off the couch - that kind of stuff. I like your words better and I like that picture of your son wearing your wig - it suits him!!! Thank you Bill for your input. I think weight is a big issue for women and for us it's an accumulation of all of the changes to our bodies from surgeries and treatments. But you are right - no sense in beating ourselves up over it. I'm still trying to lose some of it as requested by my skinny oncologist :) |
Pinky -You are NOT fat,heavy,large, extra fluffy etc....
You are beautiful and I can not see anything more then that beautiful smile when I look at your pictures. That is what I see when I look at everyone's pictures on this board.... a group of lovely ladies (and gentlemen) who are so brave and strong and have so much sense of humor.
This is an amazing thing and I love each and everyone one of you. Never lose that funny sense of humor Pinky my friend. |
