    TRIBUTE

    Oh my Gosh, Rick that is beautiful. I will send you my mom's picture. Thank you for doing that.
  9. Wow Hope, that's a tough week you all had. I hope she continues to feel better. I will keep her in my prayers.
  10. I am praying for you Cindy. I hope this doctor can help you get some relief. I am so glad your daughters are helping you. Is the pericardial effusion cancer related? Sorry if I missed this posting some where. Praying extra hard for you.
  11. Berissa, although I haven't been posting I've been following your Dad's story and praying for you. You are in my prayers now, with all the difficulties your father is facing. I know how hard it is to watch them go through these things. Big hugs to you.
  12. last night. She had been getting CPT-11 for the past 2 months and we found out 2 weeks ago that it was helping, but the cancer had spread to her brain. She was so tired from all the chemo she's received over the past year we had to stop teh chemo. Her body was so weak and frail. Her breathing had gotten increasingly worse the past month and she was so uncomfortable. It seemed no matter how much meds they gave her it didn't relieve her. I brought her to the hospital last Monday to try and get her breathing straightenend out and it seemed to help. She went home on her request on Wednesday. She had a great day on Wednesday, but unfortunately by Thursday the breathing was getting bad again. Friday night she told me she was ready to go, she didn't want to be on this earth anymore and suffering like this. On Saturday she woke up from a nap and her color was horrible. She was blueish. I spoke to the doctor and we decided it would be best to go to the hospital. Unfortunately we didn't have hospice at home yet because she had started brain radiation. We took her to the hospital by ambulance, her breathing got worse and worse. At the ER the only way they said could completely help her was a ventilator which she did not want. So they sedated her with morphine and got her into a room on the oncology floor. She held on while her 2 sisters and brother flew in from Canada. We were all there when she took her final breaths holding her hands. I am going to miss her so much. THanks to all you, you all got me through that horrible beginning time when everything is so new and scary. I pray for all of you. And still come here every couple of days to read. I pray for a cure for this awful beast of a disease.
  13. Hi guys, thanks so much for thinking of me. I hope you all know you've always remained in my prayers. I've lurked alot but always felt bad posting about us when I haven't posted to anyone else's stuff. My mom is still hanging in there. Starting back in September, she had 4 rounds of topetecan that didn't show any improvement. Then they switched her to CPT-11. She's taking that now. She will have scans in around 3 weeks that will tell if it's doing any good. The topetecan really knocked her out, it made her very sick and she lost a lot of weight. She's so thin now (98 pounds, 5'9"). The CPT-11 seems to be better on her body but it still takes a lot out of her. I guess a year's worth of treatments will do that to you. I rented her a wheelchair recently so she can get out more often. She wasn't leaving the house at all the past few months and I think it was bad on her emotionally and physcially. So the chair has been a great help. Just last week we got out to the movies and to Target. It made a big difference in her mood last week. It's so hard to watch her deteoriate though. You can really see such a difference in her from the summer to now. She's really gone downhill. I will try and not be so MIA in the future. Please forgive me guys. My heart has been breaking for all of you who've had losses recently. And some so young. It's just so unfair. Thanks again for thinking of us. ((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))
  14. Greg, I have not been on this board for quite a while, but I lurk from time to time. I had to respond to your post. My mom finished her first round of chemo in late June, VP-16 and carboplatin. All summer she had various health problems. In mid August she had to start chemo again b/c cat scan showed regrowth in the same areas. She's getting topotocan now. The first 2 rounds of topotoca threw her for a loop but now she just finished her 3 rd round and is doing good. She's getting her strength back which is awesome. We were pretty scared a few weeks back, things didn't seem good but now she's doing so much better. So you hang in there, it is possible to do well even with an early recurrence!!! You will beat this thing!! You are young and strong and you can kick this cancer's butt!!! I will keep you in my prayers.
  15. That was beautiful. Your daughter was a beautiful girl inside and out. I am so very sorry. I am praying for you whole family at this awful time.
