    A little worried

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    Barbara,

    I am so sorry that things are so hard. It just isn't fair that we have to go through this. You have every right to be scared. Cancer robs from us the normalcy that we had lived our lives with. We didn't know it was normal, until cancer reared it's ugly head and let us know.

    We are here for you. I pray that scar tissue is what it is.

    Blessings,

    Jen

    So here is my two cents...

    Weight gain after chemo, in my opinion is great. (Read Don's post about skinny cows and not-so-skinny ones!!)

    My dad has been struggling with his back, and his doc has looked everywhere, to no avail. He has gained back a bit of weight, but not too much...and the doc thinks it is that, with the sitting around that he does and the not-working of his back muscles.

    It is normal to be scared, but as Geri says, scared gets you nowhere....easier said of course!

    Blessings and prayers.

    Vernon,

    Keep that chin up, as you will find so many who have lived and lived and lived! My dad is one of those...we are two years in, with no current sign of disease, when his original diagnosis was 2 - 6 months!

    I am a prayer, so I believe in that...I will say one for you too!

    A post I want to share

    This was a beautiful post by Bill. I was ALWAYS so struck by his use of the English language, and the dance he could create with his words.

    He is missed. Teri, may you find peace.

    Blessings,

    I cannot tell you loud enough that you need to get a second opinion. I truly believe that some docs go by stats and have little hope, and I do believe there is a ton of hope out there. It breaks my heart to think of you losing it.

    You are responding well to treatment, and that is a HUGE bonus! My dad did the same and he keeps on going!

    Bless you always,

    Jen

    Someday you may realize that even that crapping dog may have been the sign! There are so many here who have been fortunate enough to get those signs, while others are still searching.

    Be open to it. It might still come.

    Blessings,

    Extensive SCLC SURVIVAL STORIES

    Paper,

    Check out my dad's story! It is one I LOVE to share...though we were lucky that dad's was not extensive. However, I do know that Don from Texas had a brain met (if I remember correctly) and did cyberknife.

    There is just SO MUCH hope out there.

    Give mom my prayers,

    Jen

    Carrie,

    We are now into Monday. How are the platelets? How is mom feeling? I still want you to know that if there is anything I can do, I am more than willing. How are you on meals? How is dad doing? How are your sisters? What about your kids? If you need me to watch them, let me know, so that hubby can go with you. I mean it, Carrie, anything.

    Prayers,

    Jen

    Question about praying--your opinion

    in HOPE

    Nova,

    I have been through the wringer with these very same questions! I do know this...any conversation with God is better than no conversation at all.

    I remember being really mad at God, :( when dad was diagnosed, my daughter was a preemie, and then had all day every day colic....I asked a friend (a nun, by the way) why God would do this. What had I done to deserve all of this? :shock: I told her, to be honest, that I was just mad at Him. She laughed, and told me, "That's OK, God can handle it. In fact, He kind of likes it that you are mad at Him, at least then you are admitting that He is in control."

    Now, I don't know how far I would go with this one, but I will say that I do think that God is wanting your prayer, wanting your engagement, and therefore, those little prayers, as long as they are heartfelt, are great.

    Thank you for those prayers, and please know you have my own as well! :D

    Blessings,

    Jen

    I am glad to read that you are going to try to push the issue. You just never know. It sucks though. Stay strong and when you have done your very best, and your mom and docs have done all that can be done, you either know the miracle of healing, or you know you have solace in the fact that everything was done that can be done.

    Again, my prayers.

    Jen
