Hi sockless, what would you think about going out with an older man who has a way with women, had a bath last Wednesday, and has $11 in cash.?
Now that we've put those Cowgirls in their place, I thought I might fill y'all in on how my life has changed in the last year...and no, iasooner1, no grands, as I told you before, I'm not old enough to be a Gigi, yet!
It's been almost a year since I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer. It was just Stage 1 & the tumor was only 1 cm in size. So, with zero family history of breast cancer, I was ridiculously fortunate that we caught it when we did! ❤
I moved back to Norman to be near family & received all my treatments at the Stephenson Cancer Center at OU Medical Center in OKC! If you know of anyone who needs cancer treatment of any kind, I highly recommend Stephenson! I cannot say enough good things about all the doctors, nurses & staff. I love them so much that I brought them all some Cerreta's chocolates after a trip back to PHX last summer!
My chemo started in early February & by March 1st, my signature golden locks were gone. I kid you not when I say that losing my hair was the most traumatic part of the whole ordeal! My hair had been no shorter than shoulder-length since I was in 3rd grade. So, phantom ponytail grabs happened for at least a month or two. But I did have the joy of getting my entire bald head tattooed with Henna at the Medieval Fair in Norman! I was completely bald for about 5 months. I have a couple of wigs, but rarely wore them. Opted for beanies & ball caps, instead. Then my hair started growing back at the end of July & now I have a full head of curly locks! A look I have never had before & have been told that it may take 2 years for "my normal hair" to come back!
My treatment began with 4 months of chemo, as Triple Negative is a very aggresive form of breast cancer, so that way they could make sure that what they were using to treat my cancer was shrinking the tumor! Then I had a lumpectomy in June, in which my surgeon removed the tissue that used to contain my tumor & the surrounding tissue. And he only had to remove 2 lymph nodes, as he found that the cancer had not spread and in fact, it was completely gone! But because it was just a lumpectomy, then I had to "patiently" wait about 6 weeks, while my body recovered, before I could enjoy 4 weeks of radiation!
So, I was finally able to come back to AZ in early September! I got to drive to LA & go to the UCLA game with my sister & some friends & then came back to Norman at the end of that month for some follow-up appts & attended the Tech game, as well!
I was back in the OK for 3 weeks before Thanksgiving for more follow-up appts & to pick up my Honda car, as it had blown its AC compressor at the end of August & I opted trailer it home to my mechanic in PHX.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that I had my biopsy in PHX & was actually driving to Norman for the holidays last year when I got the call telling me that the spot they found during the mammogram was indeed cancer. I had just crossed over from New Mexico into the Texass panhandle, so, Texass sucks, again!!! ❌
Life has a way of educating you on things you never knew existed...just be patient & listen. ☘
So glad you were able to beat it!
Lost my sister to Breast Cancer last year, she was 48 with 3 young kids. She fought a long battle for 9 yrs but the Lord was ready to have her with him. Gone way too soon.
OUSOONER67, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. Yes, 48 is way too young. Sending prayers for her children from the desert.
I was barely 57 when I was diagnosed & now at 58, I am hoping to follow in my grandmother's footsteps, by living a long, long life. Mimi was 94 when she passed & she had one cousin that made it to 99 & another cousin who made it to 100. I know some people don't want to live that long...but as long as I am relatively healthy, why not continue to hang around & root on my SOONERS! ❤
Sockless, all of us here are just really glad about your now being cancer free, and looking forward to a long, curly headed life. Hang in there, girl.
We do miss the photo, even though it was dubbed.
I have never met or sen Sockless but I've always heard she was a sexy one...
Very glad you won your battle! And OUSOONER67, so sorry you lost your sister. Way too young!
sockless is awesome. I will never forget and will always be grateful for her showing up at my sister in laws funeral and all the support as a grest friend before and since. She was there when I needed a friend most. Simply an awesome person. Thanks again Jules!! Merry Christmas!
We should chip in and get her some nice socks for Christmas.
Slockless offered to go to New York to hand deliver the money we raised for Frankfangston and his wife.
Frank said he was not feeling well enough to have visitors.
Jules has a huge heart with empathy. She truly cares.
She is the best!

Thanks for the kind words, bullmarket. I finally got to take a trip to NYC about 4 years ago. Would've been really special to have taken a drive out on Long Island...to West Babylon, was it? I miss that wise man! ❤
