Dear Lunachick.... Have had four serious surgeries. Was diagnosed with a genetic disease (MEN2A) - Had tumors on my adrenal glands, parathyroid, and stage 2 Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (then found out I was seven weeks pregnant with my third daughter). At the time I had a three year old and a one year old at home.

They removed all of those glands, lymph nodes, etc. -- Was told to put my things in order. Well twelve years later!...Fight, be positive, and accept all the positive energy and love from those around you.

My oldest daughter was diagnosed with the same disease. She has already had one surgery and will need more. No one knows what is ahead of them. But after such experiences, we love more, feel deeper, appreciate every day and the people and things around us. (And that's why we have and love our chickens!)

I send you love and prayers!..

Ok where is everybody?!!!

Everything here is going well. I get my PET scan on the 5th and should know by the 13th what we have going on with those spots on my lungs. Other than feeling like I'm coming down with a cold I'm doing good. Will be doing better in a few when Lurchie finishes my dinner, lol

Had another interview today with the Reporter who is doing a story on us and how WellsFargo isn't working with us on a work out plan for the house. I'll post a link when the story goes on tv.


So what's everybody else up to??!

Hi Cindi!!!! I can report that the huge lump on Ken's hand is not cancer, just a cyst. Our daughter Sara is continuing to be stubborn about going back to the doc, and with Ken's continuing bad news, I have no strength to kick her butt.

Has anyone had any experience with the Oncology dept at Sloan Kettering in NYC? My brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor 6 weeks ago. He went through 6 weeks of radiation and chemo in N. CA. After this treatment his doctor sent him to Sloan-Kettering and NIH. He isn't really sharing his prognosis with me. I am taking care of our Mom who is in the last stages of Congestive Heart Failure and I think he doesn't want to put more stress on me. I can handle the truth but not knowing is really wearing on me. He is my only sibling. Guess I just need some encouragement from those of you that have been there and are beating this disease. Thanks.

Hey Deb, try takeing extra vitamins or using your energy early in the morning to kick her butt, then there is always steroids.

O.K. I know that was bad but sometimes you just have to laugh at things because "IT IS WHAT IT IS" and you just have to learn to deal. Laughter is the best medicine says my other C friends and they don't lie. Don't know what to tell ya except have Sara read this thread and she will find out she will have a huge support group pulling for her. That is what got me through all the rough stuff.

Hey to Gin & Three good eggs, see everyone one else on FB.

rrrmamma- there can be a lot of guilt that one feels when they have cancer.
I really hated seeing my family stressed out, scared, and hurting because of my diagnosis.
But I, like you would hate to be in the dark worse than having to face the truth.
It's really hard to know what is going on in his head.
Most men have a strong instinct to protect those they love from harm and hurt.
Be patient with him.
Hugs to you!
I will pray for you and yours!

Glad everyone is doing well. I know we are all quiet but you are still in our prayers. I remember you all daily in my prayers.

Thanks Broodytood. I am running out of answers when my Mom asks everyday where my brother is. She is so ill and borderline dementia.She doesn't remember asking. I repeat the same thing over and over. I have to call him in the morning beause he handles all her finances. I need to know if he can still handle it because I am starting to get calls from bill collectors. My mom has never been late for a payment in her life. I can take that on if I have too. I just want him to concentrate on getting well. He is my only sibling. My Dad has been gone for 8 years and mom could pass at any time. I just don't think I could cope with losing him too.
