Hey Karen. Folks around here will tell you I am the resident B**** when it comes to cancer attitudes. The biggest thing that is going to get you and your son through this is attitude. You must BELIEVE that this is benign for it to be so. Loose all doubt. It is the fear of what could be that brings us all down. Loose it! You start fighting now if you/he plans on beating this. I have lost too many family members. I REFUSE to let it get me too. I've been fighting for over 3 years now. I've been knocked down, on my knees many times, but I keep getting back up. You will get all the support you need and more with these folks. Start fighting!


Deerman--oh my friend, I know well how tiring it can get. But you know as well as I do, if we give in the jerk wins. So much time spent sick, not doing things we want to do, people we thought would always be there have disappeared because they couldn't handle the Big C. We could say the h*ll with it. Let it take over and be done with it. But that's not who we are. We keep fighting because there are people depending on us. Depending on us to hold them up, to be there, to survive. So we keep fighting and we will keep doing so until the end comes after a long hard battle. We will raise our arms in triumph! I WIN!!!





I go in tomorrow to have yet another port put in. This make #4! Back on the Herceptin next week.


Keep fighting!!!!!

Coyote is right Karen, you have to face your fears straight on, have that attitude that you are not afraid of anything, bring it on. My old man and my sister are the only family I have and I can't tell them anything about my cancer because they can't handle it so they are not privy to any info on the subject. I carry it alone and I'm fine with that, plus I have you guys.

Let us know about the port when your up to it. The Herceptin wasn't real bad with me just made me sleep about three days.

I'm de-lurking to say, "Keep up the good fight!" My father has relapsed with multiple myeloma, the least horrible of the blood cancers, but it's still advancing in spite of first- and second-line chemo and a stem cell transplant. I've been drawing lots of strength from this thread, thank you so much for that. I get new bad news, cry, then pull myself together and get back to work. He's 800 miles away so not much I can do for them day-to-day. Love to all of you, especially the loud and angry fighters!

Deerman, the man that taught me about homeing pigeons, God came to my dream tonight and said you needed a special prayer. Its after three in the morning so I got up, but I don't have a normal sleeping schedule. So I lit my candles and sent a prayer to you. I hope you received it well and hope you are feeling better.

Thanks , Sara.

I'll pray for you as well. We're setting up Skype now, and my husband is a computer guy so I think we'll have him set up a machine with it and mail it to my Dad. I'm starting a new job next week so I will soon have the funds to visit, which is a huge relief. I'm a "hands-on" kind of person.
