Vickyann, I am planning on coming to Austin on Sept. 11 to see my daughter. Maybe we can make arrangements to meet. She lives on the south side of Austin. Where in Austin are you located?

You & your mom are both in my thoughts and prayers. I know you will be a great support for your mom even though this is hard for you.

I have not met anyone from this forum...but I have met two women that were on the Komen forums with me.  This past summer I traveled to NH to spend time with a former college roommate...and she was kind enough to drive me to Maine to meet my Komen friend.  Another friend was traveling to Long Island to visit an elderly aunt in an assisted living facility...and she was kind enough to stop on the way to have lunch with another Komen friend.
 
We had all gone through chemo/radiation during the same time period...it was fun to meet each other, talk, compare length of hair, curls, gray, etc.  I hope to meet yet another person in MD this fall.  I will be traveling to a convention in Baltimore.
 
I would highly recommend taking the opportunity to do this....of course, keeping safety in mind!!  The first trip, my friend was with me...but we did go to the person's home.  I had so much communication with her on both Komen and FB that I felt it was "safe".  The second person we met at a diner...both convenient and safe!!  (My children were concerned about this aspect of the meetings!)
 
I live in New Jersey.

Well gals, I am in Nova Scotia Canada.  There are a few members from Toronto and Niagra Region, but I have yet to meet someone from Nova Scotia.  Although, my son-in-law's sister has been diagnosed with TNBC last month and has since had her mastectomy and is doing well.  Bless her heart! Keep trying, I am sure we will hit someone in the area.Wink

Hi,
Well, the water must be pretty good here because it seems I'm the only one from Florida. 
Atlanta girls would be my best bet, but not traveling much at the time.   BUT, if you get a wild hair and want to visit Orlando, let me know!

How about we call a mass meeting in Nashville. Seems like it might be a middle of the area thing...how far is everyone from Nashville.
I am about 120 miles west.

Hi Carol,

I don't know how many miles for me, but I can get a flight from Raleigh/Durham to Nashville for $124.00.   So count me in if it comes to pass.

Hi Carol,

Man, this is sounding good to me. A group of TN sisters all in the same place at the same time. WOW

As for being able to keep me. If I get a one way ticket (Don) would have to come with me. He says if I ever leave him, he is coming too. If I get a round trip ticket, I think I could persuade him to stay behind for a few days......... Although, once I flew to spend a week with my daughter in SC and my son called and said, "Mamma, when are you coming home? Daddy is pitiful without you". I didn't know whether to be happy or mad. A grown man who can't fend for himself for a week is "pitiful".....

God Bless,
Lillie
