Thanks to everyone for your kind words and well wishes. I am hoping for the best. I'll let you know more as this plays out.
Leolaia, my sister is not doing well. She first got breast cancer when she was 50. She had a radical mastectomy and had to have chemo. The cancer came back in her remaining breast a few years later; so she had another radical mastectomy. The cancer spread into her cervical lymph nodes and now it's in her lungs. She has to go in to the hospital every month to get fluid drained from her lungs(pleural effusions). The chemo regimen that she was on stopped working; the radiation treatment didn't work either. They are trying stronger chemo drugs on her. She says that the treatment is the worse ever, that it makes her really ill. She is tired of all of the treatments and says that she's ready to go.
She has made it clear that she doesn't want anykind of life-support or heroic efforts made when that time comes. I told her I'd stand by her wishes.
This is not the first of my sisters to have breast cancer. One had it in her early 40's. She had a lumpectomy about 17 years ago. She seems to be stable, no recurrence of cancer.
Since so many of the girls in the family have had cancer, I'm getting the BRCA gene testing done. I need to see if this will be something that my daughters will have to worry about. I have, also, opted for a double mastectomy because of what happened to my sister.
Side note: It feels weird sneaking on the computer. I never thought that I'd do that. I should stick to my guns about being an apostate; and not worry about upsetting the twins. I now know how a lot of you undercover posters feel now.
I'll try to keep everyone updated just for educational value if nothing else!
(((hugs to all)))

I just found out that I have breast cancer on Thursday (see topic http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/medical/190249/1/I-was-in-the-hospital ). My sister has breast cancer too. She has had it longer than me. The doctors gave her a prognosis of six months to live five months ago.
Anyway, about me, I, finally, got the doctor to do a biopsy two weeks ago. It came back positive for adenocarcinoma, nuclear grade II. The cancer is, actually, in my arm pit; but the pathologist says that it is made up of "breast tissue".
My oldest daughter notified the twins (the JWs), who were living in Atlanta. They have came home to help me out with getting to the doctor's appts and such. They are staying with me.
I have been scheduled for a lot of tests and will probably have surgery in two weeks. So, I will be posting infrequently for awhile.
Well, that's all for now.
Take care

My perception of posters
by Lady Lee inearlier today i made a comment on a thread about how i perceive a poster.. my perception is mine and mine alone.
i am responsible for it.
how i perceive what someone posts to me is also my responsibility.. if i have a run-in with someone on the board there is a good chance the next time i see that person post something i don't like i will add my past perception to their post.. for example: let's say poster xyzzz told me off.

What's the best cover version of a song you've ever heard?
by VampireDCLXV inthe title pretty much says it all.. it's true that there are many classics that simply can't be topped but it doesn't stop people from trying anyway.
and what do ya know; occasionally someone does succeed.
here i will post at least one notable example.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o9gf_sofbm&p=301f39587863d18d&playnext=1&index=3.

When my grandson brings in slugs and garden snakes, I get tickled. I have daughters. They never did that stuff. I'm like he's such a boy!
