    Hey Everyone!

    I want to thank everyone who helped us get the funds to move. We started the move on April 1st and finished by the 5th. Good thing because I started my new job on the 6th. It is only temporary through September but there is a good chance it will go permanent. If it does, I will need to turn...

    Advice needed!

    We are most likely moving in September or October to the Santa Barbara area to take care of Mike's mom. Thing is, she is highly allergic to cats. We are going to keep the cats but they will have to be outside cats. We want to build an enclosure to keep them safe, happy and warm with their toys...

    Update on me

    Well, I did get my unemployment just this week. I am not getting much but it will help. I am also having my corrective surgery on Thursday, June 19th. LOL, I am getting a "free" boob job. But I would much rather be saggy and whole. The past 18+ months have been so hard.

    I went into work today and found out I was suspended for something out of my control. Our customers get surveys where they grade us on the call. Problem is that if we follow company policy by denying credits or phone number change fees, the customer gets upset and gives us a low score. So...

    Another biopsy

    I had to have a biopsy on my adrenal gland today as they are suspecting the cancer has spread. Very painful even though I was given sedation. They had to go through my liver to get to the tumor! I am now praying for good results.

    I haven't posted for quite awhile as I am so tired all the time. I am supposed to have another chemo session on Tuesday but it depends on my White Blood Count.

    Well the pathology shows Stage 2 Grade 3. The cancer was HER2 positive and had spread to a couple of the lymph nodes. I also have/had Paget's Disease, which is cancer of the nipple! That is why the nipple was always so crusty and would bleed sometimes. I see the oncologist tomorrow to see when...

    URI?

    We think Rusty may have an URI and plan on taking her to the Vet today. She is sneezing a lot and looks like she doesn't feel good. How much does the treatment normally cost? We have $300 set aside that I was going to use toward a new computer but Rusty is more important. Dusty is fine, not...
