So....talk about.....CANCER SUPPORT THREAD !!

[ranchhand]

All of you courageous warriors - I don't write much, mostly because I frequently don't know what to say. But you are all always in my thoughts.

I tell you Burt you could not have fallen in with a better bunch of people to pull you through this. These are some hardheaded survivors and they got the attitude to win. If you can talk about it no where else you can talk here.

Burt, positive energy and thoughts coming your way. You don't know me, but I can honestly say that everything I have learned about peafowl has been because of your willingness to share your knowledge on the forum. I have been able to hatch for a few owners that have not been able to accomplish this on their own. (I'm a chicken and parrot owner and had never tried peafowl. ) Your wisdom regarding them was all I used to have successful hatches. And also information to give the owners, regarding better ways to take care of their birds.


Bonita says "thank you". Boy, she was a hard one to return to the owners.

Told my sons the bad news....well told them it was back....

 

[3goodeggs]

They needed to know. I am sorry this has happened to you, to all of you.

Deerman, I know it is easier to say than it is to do, but yank yourself up and try to stay positive. Cancer feeds on woe.
I have kept you in my thoughts, and I know there is a wave of people on here doing the same thing. We are sending you all of the positive energy we can, but you need to be receptive to it, let it in.
As Luna said, "Even a long shot is a shot."

Blessings and good wishes to you.
I imagine this has been one very hard week.

UGH! The saga of "Whatelse Could Go Wrong" continues! I can't remember if I told ya'll or not but that danged port they put in for my chemo decided to flip over. Honest! When they went to access it on Tuesday you could hear and feel the Huber needle scrapping acrossed the back of it. It hadn't been accessed in 2 weeks because of the flu and my down week so I didn't know it had flipped.

Today they decided to try to flip it back over without going into surgery. The Radiologist's PA tried it once. Nothing. He went to tell the Radioligist. PA came back to tell me that the Radiologist wanted us to try to do it without surgery. PA tried again. My eyes crossed in pain. PA suggested we try using some Litican (sp?) to numb the area. Nurse went to get shot. PA, "let me try this one more time" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Pop! It flipped back over. Now my chest is all black and blue, but we can use the port again!

Next chemo is on Thru. Will find out then about the liver emzymes as well.

Wanted to show ya'll a picture of my baby girl. Don't know when I posted the last one. Katie is 10months old, knows 10 hand signals, and I've begun her Service Dog training. Right now we are working on "Touch" this will later be used into turning on the lights, opening doors, pushing the "panic" button for medics, and to poke me to check consious level.
Not bad for a dog they wanted to put down because she was deaf.

Hope I'm not intruding but I just want to tell all of you Deer Man, Chickabator, Luna, CoyoteMagic and everyone else that I'm sending positive thoughts and energy your way. Your strength and courage are amazing.

CM - Katie is beautiful, is she Australian Shep?....Ports and Chemo suck!
