What's on your mind? (2025) - good way to start... even if a bit early... :-)

Well, I was wondering if the idea was just to provide a quiet and private space, but also if they had enough room to have three separate spaces.

I’ve seen similar signs at other airports (can’t recall precisely - maybe Amsterdam? or somewhere in Asia? those are my only stopovers in recent years) but never went to see whether it was multiple spaces, that’s why I asked.

Oh, yeah. I was to stay at the Sheraton for a night before taking the train over to Aschaffenburg. I spent a lot of time in the lower level mall shops then started trying to find the hotel. Took me an hour to figure out I was on the wrong terminal and kept going in circles before that.

I remember taking a red-eye to Gran Canaria with two GFs. One of them picked us up in her dad’s old VW van at some ungodly hour in the middle of the night. I’d taken my contact lenses out, hoping to catch a few more winks on the drive down. That was a good thing, bc she drove like a crazy person (mayhaps one of many reasons we became a couple shortly thereafter :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:).

We arrived at Frankfurt airport around 4am. I still remember walking the endless hallways to our gate. It felt like the Twilight Zone.

I absolutely hate Ff/M airport.

Frankfurt airport to me seemed absolutely massive and even had shower blocks for the public (in my experience you usually can only access a shower in the airport in a lounge or hotel). So they had lots of space, some of it thoughtfully designed for public use. Quite unusual and forward thinking?

Inconclusive mammo. Additional screening/imaging recommended.

BTDT. You breathe through the mini-panic until you get conclusive results. Sending TPSTOP (POSITIVITY) through the Interwebs.

Thank you all for your thoughts & well wishes!

I thought I was in the clear, since the hyper-aggressive breast cancer I was diagnosed with in 2023 hadn’t come back within 2 years. Ironically, I had just seen my oncologist before getting home to the results (which weren’t available to her at the time of my appointment :roll_eyes:)

Here’s hoping it’s a false positive, as happens all the time :crossed_fingers:

Adding my best wishes to you as well. Very nerve wracking, to be sure. Positive thoughts your way.

Sending you all the positive thoughts! I hope they are able to get you scheduled for that follow up screening as soon as possible!

I appreciate your thoughts, whatever they may have been, knowing that you and Sunshine have been through this.

I initially tried to DM you, but your settings didn’t allow for that.

Initially I posted about Sunshine having that “abnormal” mammogram.

I deleted my post. I didn’t want to put her results out there for fear of making it come true (for you).

Its been a long arduous journey for my girl and I wouldn’t want to wish that on you or anyone else. Luckily, the technician thought he saw something, but wasn’t sure, so he sounded the warning bell which triggered more tests. Again hers was caught in the very early stages (DCIS).

I don’t want to say we are completely out of the woods, but things are OK (for now).

Recently, Sunshine did lose her voice. She can only speak in a whisper, when she tries to call for me (from the other side of the house); it comes out as a raspy sound (unintelligible).

The Ear, nose and throat doctor is trying to figure it out.

For now, Sunshine wears a whistle around her neck and blows it when she needs me. Although our household sounds like an NFL game, it keeps her from straining her voice or searching the entire house or backyard.

I’m sorry. I hope her doctor figures out what’s up with that :crossed_fingers:

Mine was also DCIS and discovered at an extremely early stage, but it was triple negative. It can come back with a vengeance, especially within the first 2 years, and it can show up literally anywhere in your body.

The fact that this shit decided to show up in the same area I had surgery, and that was blasted with radiation seems pretty unlikely.

I’m counting on a misread. If it isn’t, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there :slight_smile:

Been there done that. Sending good vibes

Crossing my fingers (also) for a misread and you (quickly) get an “All Clear” result.
