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

[CoyoteMagic]

I have moderate to severe neuropathy. I'm numb from my feet to just below my knees. I live on Gabapenten, Zanaflex and Oxi. I also have numbness and pain that comes and goes in my hands and arms. I took 4 treatments of Taxotere & Carboplatin, followed by a little over a year later 2 doses of Abraxane. I'm HER2+++ Breast Cancer. I've been for fighting over 3 years now.

Please explain more about the Tens Unit? Never heard of it except for in math concepts. Sorry.



Sara!!!!! Good Luck tomorrow sweets! You are an inspiration!!

Thanks everyone, but actually my surgery is not until Tuesday. I can only pray that after that is over I will only have to go back to be flushed and my 3 month check up, and I'm gonna pray real hard for myself and pray even harder for you guys. I pray for your pain to go away. I will check in as soon as I can. I hate not having a lap top but Santa told me they were to expencive this year.

You hang in there Deerman and if you ever need to talk then hit my PM.

I pray for you all of course, it seems like its a bigger struggle for you all as of late. I think the rest of us need to step up all the prayers and positive thoughts we send your way. Hugs I hope and pray for less pain, being cured, and lots to smile about. You guys have so much attitude I don't know why cancer ever messed with any of you. It had to know there would be a huge fight on its hands.

Cancer has so far in my 50 years on this planet been the hardest thing to have to go through. I can read between the lines and I can tell there are others that have the support group I have. Oh they will do anything for me accept talk about the cancer and what to do if it gets bad. I had to reach out to strangers and this was the best way to cope so far I have found. Bonding with all you guys has been the best.

When I leave the hospital I will be taking Dave a lighter jacket and them I have a thick blue jean coat that is lined real thick that I am having laundered so he wouldn't have to worry about being cold. Not far from the store Dave is living behind there is a huge thrift store called "center of hope. They have nice and thick blankets for $2:00 and up. This is where I buy my pigs and dogs blankets. they salegood merchandise. By the time I have gotton these things to Dave I'm sure I will find out something else he needs. I just can't stand that this is happening to people that never thought they would be homeless. Maybe all you guys can find a homeless Dave on your way home from the doctor and give a helping hand. It sure does feel right. Prayers to all you guys and I'll jump in here just as soon as I can get out of the hospital.

I will be thinking good thoughts for you, Sara.
Do not do too much even if you feel like it. It is still surgery even if they do call it plastic. You will still need to recuperate.

Thanks Jan I will. I have some projects lined up to keep me busy. I've got two stories for the paper lined up. One is due right before hunting season starts and I thought I would do an article on Dave. I'm not expecting front page on this one but it will be a reminder to the people that still have there homes.
