    Please send Good thoughts

    I'm sitting here wondering if I should air my pity party or not then I decided you guys were so supportive last time I had nothing to lose. For those of you that remember I was diagnosed with Br**st Cancer three years ago and had to under go a radical mastectomy, chemo and radiation that beat it back for two and half years then this past December my X-mas present was finding out it was back. I started oral chemo and for the last three months we hoped that would take care of it, unfortunately I had a Pet Scan last Monday and found out it didn't, in fact it's gone to some new places so I go back on drip chemo Thursday after having surgery tomorrow to put a port back in my chest. My hope is not to get as sick as last time so I can still take pictures, it's the one thing I've found that keeps me so engrossed I don't have time to think about how this will probably all end. My hope is I can at least be healthy enough to get to OK and Savannah next year. Steph I really wanted to plan on going on the cruise but with these new developments that's to far away for me to plan. Thank you for letting me whine a bit,I have to admit I'm feeling pretty beat up.

    Chris, I'm here whenever you need someone to talk to, just give me a call.

    I'll be praying in the meantime and you hang in there and think positive.

    And absolutely nothing wrong with a little pity party once in a while...we all do it and we all really should share ourselves a little anyway.  That's what we have friends for.  The good times and not the so good times we need those shoulders to lean on.

    Chris my dear, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Cancer is such an ugly thing and I will never understand why it chooses such beautiful people. I look forward to meeting you in Savannah. Stay strong as you have been through all of this.

    Come see what we have!

    Bing said it perfectly.  It breaks my heart that you have to go through this again.  Last week I thought of you for some reason, and have been meaning to ask how you are.  I hate that you have this going on.  Know we are all here for you.

     Do not sit down and feel sorry for yourself. You will beat this and that is final. Positive thinking has so much to do with this thing called cancer. My mother is dying from cancer and has a great attitude. She is in her last stage of cancer and is in better shape than I am in, she should have been dead 5 years ago.

     

    Keep the faith, and you know you have your friends here praying for you. You will get through this, there is no other option.
