Something A Little More Serious


Sean.........so very sorry to hear about your Mother. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Kim and Daisy......may I express the same sentiments. It is so hard to lose a parent. Mine died in '59 and '69. Both under the age of 50.
I send thoughts and prayers to all of you..........

Precisely. "Shoes can be replaced, pets can't" is right.

Thank you, Ter'e.

Sean, still thinking of your mum and your family.

The doctor has sent tissue from my original surgery to have genetic testing. He is trying to figure out the specific treatment needed to slow down the progression of the disease.
I will be getting the results tomorrow. Please say a little prayer that the doctor can figure this out and get the right treatment started.
Really sorry to hear that Daisy. I hope you find the answers you're looking for. Sending good vibes and thoughts your way.

That was supposed to be all I needed. After the surgery, I was told I needed chemo and radiation. I went through six rounds of the toughest chemo regimen and 35 rounds of radiation. The doctors said I was "cured". They really didn't think it would come back. I seem to do the exact opposite of what they expect every time. I guess this is why I'm so nervous.

I just started physical therapy for an issue with my left arm and shoulder, so any prayers would also be appreciated.

Got it Chris, replied to you.
Thank you, Amber. You will be in my prayers.
Got it, Jean, replied to you.
A short update. The results of the genetic test are not back yet. I go back in three weeks to see what treatment will be. If the results are back and there is a pill available I will be trying that. If there is not a pill that will work for me or the results are not back then I will be going back into chemo.
Thanks again for all prayers and good thoughts on my behalf.

Daisy - I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing you the best results possible.


You better get some rest today before your busy day tomorrow.

I hope you also have some positive news Amber and that therapy goes well.
I hope you both aren't in pain.


@Amy, thank you. I'm trying my best to stay positive. Emotionally I'm a mess. I do have family and friends to support me. I also have the best friends on here supporting me. I have a lot of pain in my lower back and hip, but I do have pain meds to take.
@Sue, thank you so much.

The good news is I will be on one drug this time as opposed to three last time. The drug this time will not be as hard on me physically. It shouldn't make my white cell count drop or cause the fatigue and nausea that chemo did the last time. I may have hair thinning but should not lose it completely, almost wish I would, being bald was so much easier.






Cyber hugs and the warmest of wishes to you, Daisy. You know you're always surrounded by friends here. X :-)

@Jean Chemo is certainly not for wimps. When I was on it three years ago I was in treatment three and a half hours every three weeks. The biggest side effects for me was fatigue and no energy.
The drug I will be on this time will only take five minutes to administer. It really sounds like this time it will be very easy. Of course, every time the doctors tell me how things should be, my body seems to do the opposite. I seem to baffle and surprise them each time.

@Jean Chemo is certainly not for wi..."
God Bless you Daisy!!!!! I'm really sorry to hear about this. I will absolutely pray for your recovery. I do not post often but I do scan through this thread now and again to see how folks are doing and when I saw your post I had to send you my prayers and let you know that one more person is thinking about you and sending positive thoughts your way!

I can't stand it when bleeping idiots abuse innocent animals. I'm crying for the poor dog. I want to tie that idiot up somewhere with no food or water or a/c and see how he likes it. Shoes can be replaced. A pet can not.
