hello everyone, with the exception of j squared, I'm almost the first poster on here. its good to be here. Well, as i said on one of the other boards, I recently had surgery that i didn't feedl comfortable talking about with teenage boys around, seemed a bit inappropriate somehow, and we all know how teenage boys are anyway. Well anyway, I had to have a lump taken out of my left breast a couple of weeks ago. Actually, I've had it ever since i was 19, but the doctor who checked it then said it was benigned, a beninged fybroid adenoma tumor, and he didn't believe it was going to do anything. well, 29 years later, it started growing,and got real big. Well the surgery went fairly well, I wasn't sick for very long, just a few spells of dry heaves, then it left. I didn't even have a lot of pain, nothing that tylanall couldn't handle, though he did give us a perscription for vicadin if I needed it. Well, it's been to 3 radiologists now, and thefirst said it was a fybroid adenoma, then the other one said he didn't believe it was a fybroid, because it was too big. the doctor told me it was possibly a philoidies, which grows faster than a fybroid adenoma, but doesn't spread to other parts of the body. Well, i sort of shrugged it off, t hough he wanted me to come back originally friday the 13th of april. his nurse called us yesterday and said it did come back as a philoidies, and my mom asked if that meant I'd have to have surgery again. when she said yes, I almost screamed, but I can't tell there's anytrhing in there!!! not the triipple exclamation marks, thats how high and shrill my voice was. she said if he didn't get it all, it could grow back again in the same spot th elast one was. it hasn't healed all the way up from the first surgery yet, now I may have to have surgery almost right on top of this. We're hoping he'll change his mind and decide it's not necesssary. my moms friend thinks the reason I didn't have a lot of pain was because he didnt' have to cut any tissue, but if he goes deeper and has to cut in to tissue, I'll probably have some real pain, yuk! before I had my first surgery, he said i'd have to stay in the hospital overnight, but then he changed his mind, so we're hoping he'll decide i don't need the surgery after all. instead of going in on the 13th, it'sbeen pushed up to the 9th. We're trying not to think too much about it, s ince it's still a couple of weks before i go in to see him. I really wasn't prepared for this again, it sort of sneaked up on me, whereas the first time i had a better understanding of why I had to do it, but since it's healing nicely, and its not cancerous, and i can't tell there's anything in there, i don't understand as well why i have to go through this again. The incision was going along nicely, now this second surgery will set it back for sure. more babying of th eoperated area, being extra careful, sheesh. well, now that I've unburdened and bored the guys away, I'm going to subscribe to topic and move around a bit, but I shall be returning.

Hi wonder woman and all here,
I learned about this topic when I logged in tonight. I'm glad it is here and I'll try to post when I can to keep activity up and interest in this topic.
Wonder Woman, sorry to hear about your surgery and hope you won't need any more of them. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
I have been doing anagrams and black jack on here lately.
Do take care all!
Jim

thanks Jim, I hope I don't have to have any more surgeryeither. it's bad enough when you're prepared and expecting it, but when you weren't expecting it, it's terrible. we can think dream lady for this board, i just backed her up on it. I don't relly understand why some of th eyounger ones felt we didn't need this board, well one in particulardid....... anyway, it's gredat. a bit slow getting started right now, but it's only a few hours old yet. take care and have a good night. it's one in the morning here, so I have to start thinking about going to bed even if i don't particularly want to. take care and have a good night.

Hey Wonder Woman, sorry to hear about the scary and painful prospects coming up. Hope everything works out fine. Please keep us updated.
You are right, we do have dream lady to thank for this board.
I didn't really think the idea would go anywhere, (but, I voted for McGovern years ago too so I'm not the best picker on the block), so that shows you what a possitive attitude and persistency can do.
Hi Jim. Welcome. (By the way, I like your screen name). Hope to see more posts from you soon.
Okay, I'm sure I'll be posting here again, so I'll talk later on.
Bob

Hi, Wonder Woman: Sorry to hear about the possibility of more surgery for you.
Yes, I think this board is an excellent idea, thanks to Dream Lady and I think there are all sorts of possibilities and directions it can take.

Well, I'm not one of the "older folk", but I still want to send best wishes out to wonderwoman. I hope that all goes well for you, and that everything will turn out wonderfully. It's great that it's nothing cancerous, so at least that's something you can be grateful for. Even though you werent' expecting this to happen, it's probably for the best that you have it done again. Like the doctor said, there may be a possibility of it coming back, so,
I do wish you luck, and hope that all turns out great for you.

Hi Wonder Woman, I hope everything goes well with your surgery. I'll keep you in my prayers.
I also am happy to see this board. Hope more people see it and post to it.

Hi wonderwoman well, maybe we can enjoy ourselves here without all the geers and put downs from some of the others. I hope and pray your surgery goes well too. I'm glad we've got this board.

## Post 11 by wonderwoman (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 24-Mar-2007 19:44:13

thanks all, I'm just trying to continue life as normally as i can. it's still 2 weeks before i even have to go back, and when i'm on the computer, i can almost forget it after a while. it's just what you call a bugaboo gremlin sort of thing hanging over us again, just like lasttime, and thanks Gemini, your best wishes are appreciated. I just can't feel a bit resentful for some reason, but there is noone really to feelresentful to, these radiologists, seems like they don't have their act together too well, or they would've knownfrom the start, but oh well, I just hope this will be the last one. after this is over with, I have to have a cist removed jrom my jaw, but my mom is taking me to a dermatologist. I use to have oily skin when i was young, but now its very try, and there are still occasions where I have bumps crop up, and she's been threatening to take me to one for a long time, but after this breast mess is over with, she's really going to do it. cists and tumors seem to love me and can't stay away from me. well, take care all, good to see more posts coming, I was almost afraid this boiard wouldn't make a go of it, but sometimes there aren't many posts on the safe haven board, but they've grown over a period of time and there are a lot of posts on it, enough to keep it from being taken down anyway.

Hi wonder, and warm hugs. Now, you can't be laid up because you have to help me psychoanalize my dreams. After all, you don't think I'm strange when I hav them. lol. Hope your surgery goes well. Love you, and will write you soon.

## Post 15 by wonderwoman (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 24-Mar-2007 22:52:37

well dream lady, I will do the best i can, but i think to analyze someones dreams, you might have to know a bit about how they think, lol, no i don't think you're weird at all, if we were weird because we had strange dreams, i think all of us would be bound for the cracker factory, lol. Thanks and good to see you and all the others here, I have a home on the zone at last, yippee

hi kevin, good to see you. I haven't posted on the other boards all day since this board came up. I'm not sure how often i will go back to the otherboards now, maybe just once in a while to see what topics have come up next and reply if i see a topic i like. been busy downloading stuff and moving around here and there.

ps, baseball, in my answer to your comment about maybe how we can enjoy ourselves with the put downs and jeers from some on the other boards, absolutely. the responses to those posts about being sorry for things they said really bothered me, not the apoligies, the ones who were jeering and answering sharply in response to them. seems like everytime someone brought up a repeated topic that hadn't been discussed in a while, the had the ones who were crabby about old topics being brought up. who knows, I may not even go back to the other boards, its so peaceful here.wonderwoman

Hello all,
I thought I'd come on here and say good morning in order to start the day.
Wonder Woman, hope all continues to go well. I think we all have challenges when it comes to sists etc. Much of the problem involves toxins within us, keeping ourselves clean to some extent etc. I certainly wish you well.
I'm still learning about the boards and how to find topics etc. You can count on my hanging out here. Of course, there are people out here who still need to grow up and that's the way it is. I've been too busy playing games so haven't worried much about the bads but am not looking for them either. I simply come in and enjoy myself.
May need to get a premium membership. Being able to message on the zone by phone sounds fun as well.
Do take care all and continue to have a terrific day!
Jim

Hi wonderwoman. good to hear from you. na, I don't miss the immature jeers and sarcastic remarks, although I do go to grafiti every now and then when I need a laugh take care
Kevin.

## Post 21 by wonderwoman (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Tuesday, 27-Mar-2007 19:21:32

well I may go back about once a month or so. when you've been away from something a long time, its like new all over again. I've been playing anagrams and high low, and its much more relaxing than some of those on the other boards. Thanks for th ewell wishes bachelor husband, I don't really kinow what causes cists and tumors, I'm not sure any doctor knows either, but as far as i know,noone has ever heard of a philoidies tumor. wish I could come across someone who has heard of them or had one taken out. I was going to try and look it up on google, but someone i talked to warned against looking up what you've got on the net, because what you read can scare youto death. it can come in handy though if you aren't sure the doctor is telling you everything, because doctors don't always tell all.

Hey Wonderwoman, you're right about that. I play high low myself once in a while. It's been warm here and our office doesnt have any airconditioning because someone stole the copper tubing out of all the AC units on the roof of our building. some desperate folks in this world
Take care
Kevin

## Post 23 by wonderwoman (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Wednesday, 28-Mar-2007 20:13:17

yeah, stealing the coper tubing out of air conditionings? may, no heart and desperate. I will never be a game addict, usually do other things preferably, but it's good to do when i'm waiting for something to happen or just waiting in general. its been nice today, but they'[re expecting it to get cold again tonight. well I don't miond it being a bit chilly at night, good going to bed weather, so long as its not frezing in the day time, but itsprobably going to be up and down until april or may.
