Thanks for the kind words, encouragement and your help.
What is it about cancer survivors? They are all so kind, helpful, and super nice people. Is is because we went through a life changing event? And, now we uderstand what truly matters in life?
When I read the postings from the breast cancer gals I an in awe. I basically sailed through my treatments compared to you gals.
Kudos to all of you. And. good health to all..

bowregard –when you next see your dr., who you say will examine you from head to toe, I suggest purple or some other neat but loud color painted toes. Might be a bit of fun. Stay well.
Gcr18 – well Sunday is coming soon and I wish you well. It may have been true only for my type of cancer (non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma) but my oncologist told me that how my body reacted to my first chemo pretty much was how the rest of the treatments would go and that turned out to be true for me. But, I do not want to give you false info so….best wishes. Wow – your treatments are long. – 6 hrs. That is like the NHL patients who do not tolerate Rituxan well so the treatments can be 6-7 hours. Looks like you made your decision and have a good plan in place. Let us know how Sunday goes for you – fingers crossed.

Lord have mercy, Lannie. Sounds like your lungs are an orchestra. Do you have a temp?? Color of sputum?? If your not feeling better in the morning off you go to the Dr. Don't play around with this. Happy to hear you found the bandaids. I'm a paper tape freak. Love the stuff. Used it when I had to change my bandages. No irritation. That part of you sounds like your on the mend.
Amigy, we all know how lonely it feels having cancer. Who else can help but the people who have gone through it. From diagnosis, treatments and followup we are there to support others and give tips that we've learned along the way.
GC, I love the plan that your Dr's have mapped out for you. I would say this is all good news.
Bow, how are you healing. UK is mother behaving??

JackieHN : yes but widow/widowers have a lonely experience too but are not as open or helpful with others enduring the same experience. Now, it may be that there are many sleazy people out there trying to take adantage of a new widow/widower which fosters almost paranoia; but, the difference between (what I call) the fraternity of widows/widowers and the cancer patients/survivors is startling.
I experienced both in short succession and while I am a grief counselor (I did get training) my heart is with cancer patients/survivors..
I come to this group and post here far more than the postings on grief elsewhere in Wellness and other forums. I do this only because this is a group and they are disparate and not a group in my experience.
Frankly I would rather have cancer than enduring the loss of my husband, but I prefer this group...
But that is just me.

Belle, sounds like your ready for chemo again. Remember tons of water. We'll be praying that you have an easy time with this session.
Amivay, sounds you are a busy lady. Grief counseling is very difficult. God love you for doing this. It is so needed.
I forgot who spoke about Carolyn Grace. She had more than one DCIS in her breast. Even though it is considered a non invasive breast cancer, it can reoccur and it could become invasive. That's why she had a bilateral mastectomy. Also her mother had breast cancer. She did the right thing.
Lannie, what's going on with you??
