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.

Kim Dixon | 22 comments I'm very busy with my first semester of college. It's hard to believe that it's almost half over. I've got all As in my 4 classes. College has cut into my free time more than I anticipated, imcluding my book reading time and my internet time, which sucks. The summer semester is very fast paced. I'll be glad when I am done with it because I hate the rushed feeling. I have a 3 week break before starting fall semester, which should be alot more slower in pace.

Ter'e Crow Lindsay (terecrow) | 798 comments God Bless your hearts. I am busy reading this chain backwards to see what has happened and the words just stopped me in my tracks.

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.

message 709: by Daisy (new)

Daisy | 313 comments I'm in need of prayers/good thoughts. I have metastasized breast cancer in my bones. I have been taken off all treatments because they are not working. My tumor markers have almost doubled in the last month and are more than four times what they should be.

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.

Amber Martingale Sorry to hear that, Daisy.

message 714: by Daisy (new)

Daisy | 313 comments Big thanks to all of you. I'm really nervous and scared this time. I wasn't this nervous when I was diagnosed with breast cancer two and a half years ago. At that time decisions were easy for me. I already knew I wanted to have a bi-lateral mastectomy.

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.

message 720: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale You'll be in my prayers, Daisy.

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


message 721: by Jean (new)

Jean | 2382 comments I sent you a PM too, Daisy.


message 722: by Daisy (new)

Daisy | 313 comments Thank you, Patricia. I'm trying my best to stay positive.

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.

Amber Martingale So do I. because after I get home from it, I gotta be back on that end of town again anyway to pay the rent but I can't go there from the hospital as the med cab doesn't do that. Gonna be one hell of a busy day tomorrow.

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

Amber Martingale No kidding.


message 733: by Amy (new)

Amy (thenikitagirl) | 636 comments Daisy... I will keep you in my prayers and fingers crossed for something positive! I hope you are holding up emotionally as best can be expected and that you have much love and support. My thoughts will be of you this week.

I hope you also have some positive news Amber and that therapy goes well.

I hope you both aren't in pain.


message 734: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale I'm fine at the moment but if I have any muscle spams, I'm going to have to take one of my meds. The rest can wait until dinner time anyway.


message 735: by Sue (new)

Sue (coccotoro) | 2087 comments Daisy, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.


message 736: by Daisy (new)

Daisy | 313 comments @Pat, thank you so much.

@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.


message 737: by Daisy (last edited Jul 20, 2016 09:01PM) (new)

Daisy | 313 comments Update: I saw my oncologist yesterday. The genetic test results were back, but the results recommend the drug I was just taken off. This means I will be going back into chemo, though not sure when I will be starting. The doctor said he wants to watch and wait for now and do repeat scans monthly.

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.


message 738: by Patricia (new)

Patricia | 1266 comments Daisy - you are a very brave woman stating the positives you see. I hope this drug can have some remarkable effects and delay any chemo treatments. I will keep you in thoughts and prayers.

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments Daisy, thank you for shaing with us. I think of you often and will continue to do so. I am so glad to hear your next round of treatment will be easier on you. Lots of good thoughts, prayers, and cyberhugs for you!!!!!


Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'? (whatchatreadin) Daisy, keeping you in my thoughts. Healing is much easier with a positive and warm spirit that you are showing.


message 746: by Jean (new)

Jean | 2382 comments Daisy, thanks for the update. Chemo is not for wimps, at least so I've heard. Glad your treatment will be less punishing this time around. You have lots of cyber friends from around the world who are sending you healing energy. And if your hair thins, heck, cut it short. Shave it even. Do what makes you feel good so you can put your positive thoughts toward wellness. Best wishes, my friend.

message 749: by Daisy (new)

Daisy | 313 comments Thank you to all of you for the kind words, thoughts, prayers, hugs and well wishes. It's very encouraging to know I have so much support from friends on here.

@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.

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!
