Gabba

Dear Gabba - If you can - please tell me where you found the picture of the roadway with the "Just speed up a bit..." sign.

Gabba, If you are still *out there,* can you check in here and give us any insight as to how this site works? Many of us have been struggling to keep it together, but the problems just keep coming. First there was a huge disconnect in receiving notifications or getting a Daily Digest. Now we seem to be getting notifications (if we want them), but the Daily Digest is not consistent - at all. As a result we are missing questions and important blog referrals.

Now, our questions are not being shown under the Questions banner - instead they are posted on our individual walls. so no one, but us knows if we posted a question...therefore no one can answer it! Frankly, it's a huge mess and so many are becoming frustrated and leaving. so many of us are very sad to see this happen as we have come to look upon this site as a friendship connection as well as a place for advice.

We have all reached out to Colby, but he remains the mystery man. He responds to our emails and says things will get better, but instead they just get worse. If you have any advice, I know all of us who are *hanging in there* would LOVE to hear it!

If you navigate the site you can see the last question posted under Questions was 19 days ago! there are 50 responses because right now it is the only place available for us to talk to each other. I think Greg would be devastated to see it come to this .But, none of us know exactly what Greg did to keep it going?

Hi, Grace! I just wanted to stop by and wish you Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a nice day. Grace

Hi, Grace! I saw your Thankful Thursday post about the negative biopsy. I am grateful it was negative, too. I’m sorry you had to go through that again. Hugs to you. Grace

Gabba. I am so saddened by Pauline's post. Your answer was so gracious. I am actually crying at this time. The event must have been bittersweet for you. This is such a terrible time. Your church was beautifully decorated and the picture is just beautiful. I am trying to be charitable perhaps Pauline was just expressing sadness that a glorious, happy event happened during such trying times. Your reply sas so gracious, I was contemplating posting a searing comment on her wall. But there is too much hate here for that. There is no vaccine for hatred.

Hello, Grace! I saw a couple of posts from you and just wanted to say Hello. I hope you and yours are well. My husband and I are fine - except that we had to have our pup (in my photo) euthanized on Friday. He had been ill for some time. Long story. Anyway, we are heartbroken. Other than that, we are well. Staying home. Hugs to you.

Gabba, this is the first post I have seen from you in a long time. I hope things have been going well for you. Take care.

The Playtex bra is style #515 called Gorgeous Lift and offers five great features- it's tagless, wire free, higher and comfortable straps, fuller cups, and taller back. It was $19.99 and they were having a sale that day so I got it for $11.00. It's PRETTY, I miss pretty bras.

Hi Gabba:

Thank you for your support. Indeed my Dad's passing saved my life. He was 84 and would gladly have laid to rest to keep me awake. It is a bittersweet thing. I go to see my family doc the end of this month, I will be talking to him about my depression. I suffered depression before I was diagnosed with cancer, so this has just made it worse. I am also thinking that my depression is higher now because it was just the anniversary of Dad's demise and the anniversary of my diagnosis.

I wish you the best of luck with your cancer journey. I will be keeping in touch with you.

Hi, Grace! How are you? I thought I'd check in and say Hi. I haven't seen a post from you in a long time. Things are fine on my end. Is my memory correct in that you are a Patriots fan...? If so, I'm thinking you're pretty happy about this weekend. Take care.

Hugs,

Grace : )

Hi, Grace! I saw on a post that you had a mammogram coming up. Do you have the results yet? I hope all is well. I also just wanted to say Hello and see how you're doing otherwise. Thinking of you.

Grace

Gabba ("the other Grace"), thank you! You've been through so much, and I'm so glad all of the biopsied were benign. What an ordeal in a not-very-long time period. I hope it's never again. Your words are helping me. Hugs, Carol

Hi, Grace. I just wanted to check in and say Hello. How are you doing?

Hi, Gabba! It was so nice to see a post from you. I have not seen one in a while. I've missed you. I haven't done much posting myself lately. Anyway, it was nice to see and I hope you are well. :-)

Since she just had the surgery I called and left a message. I think I will give her a week or so and then I'll call again. As I do not know this neighbor very well I do not want to be too pushy.

Yes, we do have a mutual friend - in fact she,another neighbor, and myself went out to lunch today.
Another neighbor had a double mastectomy last Wed. and we are all praying for her. Love the neighborhood. Hate the disease.

When they took you off Arimitex! What did they switch you too!

Hello

Dear Gabbapnp: I utmost sincerely hope that you received some reassuring conformation re: approx 21 days ago.
Thank you for my comment on rads. I have to tell you something. Most of the time when I'm reading What Next, I'm half asleep. Ouch, my grammar is obviously not read over. Edit to self. But I have to give you BIG kudos. I just perused your wall and saw that YOU were the person who planted The Hope Lodge idea in my head, including the 40 miles statistic!
Because of your planting the seed, I mentioned it to Dr Harris

This is my 4th year on Arimidex. By my 5th year, I'll be 70 so hopefully my onc will agree with your onc and I won't have to continue either. Did you notice any changes after stopping?

Hi neighbor. I am sick of shoveling and cleaning my car off. Looking forward to spring. On a happy note....YAY PATS!

Thank you so much! Oncologist gave me the 4% also. I don't think it is a big enough number to go through the chemo.

Stay safe!

Just saw the weather report. Sounds like the Boston area is going to get more than your fair share of snow. Please take care...stay in doors and stay off the roads. Will be thinking about you!

Hope you are not in the path of this storm. If so, stay safe.

Thank you

Sorry Gabba don't know what happened to the end of my question but as I live in Ireland our internet connection is not great at times.I was trying to ask if I should worry because my bone scan took 60 mins.However I had 2nd chemo.today and results normal bone scan.I was so relieved.I am having some difficulty navigating the site but will keep at it.I am finding it difficult to find people who have similar diagnosis.Thank you.

Thank you for the welcome Gabba!

Hi Gabba. I noticed that you have opted to follow me. As you probably already figured out, I'm a bit of a smart aleck from time to time. Humor has gotten me this far, and I'm not gonna drop that now! Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. We've both been around here for awhile, and I'm sure we've both read each other's posts many times. Hope you continue to do well and that you have a spiffy day!
