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

[debilorrah]

Cindi, as you well know I am soooooo stinking mad at Wells Fargo right now I am about to create a page encouraging people to move their loans. God forbid should a mortgage holder get sick!!!!

Update** the guy we had been talking to at Wells Fargo, Micheal Burg has told us that he will not talk to the reporter, Bill McGinty. "I do not talk to reporters" "This has been passed to the Executive Communications Dept." "It's now out of my hands". Even though Bill has some vital information that could help save our house. I can't give the details of that, but it's good. They want all the back money up front before they will consider accepting payments again.

Also my insurance company won't pay for the new drug, they didn't even know it was on the market it's that new. So I'm taking the Gemzar that we hope will kill the existing tumors but not the Pretuzmab which MAY stop new ones from growing! Doc is trying to get the company to give it to us. I surely can't afford the 6K per treatment!!!

Ok enough of that...........................

I have a quilt I have been working on since this all started. It's got blocks where people have written me messages of encouragement along with blocks of things that are important to me along this journey. Would any of you like to add a block with words of encouragment for those days it gets ruff or maybe a quilt block of your favorite pattern. If you don't sew/quilt I can send you a square of fabric to write something on. I can stitch your writings when i'm at treatment. If you do sew/quilt, the blocks need to be either 6.5 or 12.5 squares OR 6.5 by 12.5 rectangle. Saves on math when I put it together, lol. If you make a block of your favorite pattern could you send me a back piece with your name on it so I can remember what is from who. Chemo brain.

Let me know and I'll Pm you my address

can you get into a study? if it is new, you might make a good Guinea pig. (they are so cute)

Hey Cindi - If I had the slightest clue how to sew I would do it in a heartbeat.......... Would certainly be more than glad to write something on fabric...JJ

No there aren't any current studies that would work for me.

I used to have a Guinea Pig when I was in college. His name was Michelob aka MickeyD----he looked like a Michelob Dark bottle, lol

Hey Luna, just had a thought pop in my head. Did your brother ever take the thing he picked up in the graveyard back?

Yes he did. That was "wireman" he stole. He drove from Stuart, FL to New Orleans with it wrapped up in the car. Got there and found the spot and put it back, then drove back home. Don't know if it made any difference in his life or not, I don't talk to him much (looooooong story) As far as I know he's doing well.

WHY? Did you do something naughty??

I am sorry to interrupt this thread as I know so many are going through such difficult times and need every ounce of support from the readers of this forum. Does anyone have any experience of pancreatic cancer, and the chemo that is used in the treatment? A very good friend is under investigation for this condition and I know it's rather rare. Thank you for your patience of my interruption.

Cindi - I have a block or two to send you. You need the block and a backing for the message right? Let me know the details. And what colours you like and such.

I'm sorry newf, I don't know anyone personally that had pancreatic cancer or what kind of chemo they use. I think it depends on the stage of cancer and other things. You can come on here anytime with your questions or concerns, someone reading this may come up with some info for you. I wish the best for your friend.
