I am sending my prayers Susan. Take care

With all you have been through and now with Tracy's death, I can understand why you can hear lung cancer laughing it's awful laugh. I understand why you feel spent. I have not heard the laugh yet, so I am hear to catch you and to hold you up through this awful time. Others here will as well.
I am thinking of Tracy today. She was a very bright light and in my short friendship with her she taught me lots. Cancer did not win against her. She is in heaven now and pain free. God, not cancer, rescued her when she needed it. I know she is up there now encouraging us all to go on and to enjoy every day the best we can.
Together we do make a difference and can mute out that laughter when it does make its appearance. And we will hold each other up when needed.
Many hugs to you Kasey

good morning everyone.
Well you sure are getting around Judy. You "sound" better today. I would love to go fishing with you. I have always wanted to do the lazy day fish by the river. I have gone fishing for salmon twice in my youth but that is a much different experience. Put your line in, get your quota fast and head on out.
Heidi, it does sound like you had an awesome party. Good for you girl, I like a good party. The neighbours will get over it.
We are still having our streak of hot dry weather. We had the driest June on record in 50 years. Nice, but lots of forest fires about and high risk of many more.
I think I am over my 2 days of post chemo sleepy days. I hope so as I have to get up and get my son to day camps for the next two weeks. I will for sure be driving in my PJ's so will try not to break any laws.
Have a great Sunday everyone.

Geesh...I suspect the answer to that is not go swimming. Ask the doc for sure though. Keeping it dry is virtually impossible, even when showering. Kudos for wanting to get out and exercise though, maybe you can find something else.

Well you sure are going through an awful time right now and I am sending you a big hug. You sure could use someone to talk to so please pursue counselling services. There should be some available at the cancer clinic as there are at mine.
You definitely have had an unfortunate string of medical professionals. Sometimes writing a letter helps.
Take it easy on yourself and just do the best you can every day. And try and have as many good moments as you can with your mom.
Take care and keep posting, we are here for you

Oh Lilly. You certainly did not need to hear that as you are preparing for your much anticipated trip. I would love to go to Italy. But it is what it is and you will go and enjoy yourself. And when you get back you will figure out what needs to be done next. So enjoy the best you can and take in the best the world has to offer over there.

I am glad you have an lovely trip to look forward to after completing all of those things. You deserve a break and some tlc. Take care

Our TracyD
in GRIEF
Oh my. My heart is breaking over this news. I hadn't heard from Tracy in awhile and was getting worried. She had been having a tough time but I wasn't expecting this. I do know that she was out of hospital in time to attend her daughter's graduation ceremony and that she was so pleased about that.
Kasey, I hadn't made the connection that Tracy was your niece until today. My deepest condolences to you. She was a very special lady.
I had gotten to know Tracy a bit better over the last few months as we had a lot in common. I knew her to be a very kind and caring person. I didn't know until reading her obituary that we were both accountants and competitive swimmers.
Dear Tracy, may you rest in peace and know that your family will be well looked after. My condolences to all of your family.
your friend

Hi Kim. I am sorry the news about your mom wasn't better. But please remember that the effects of radiation will go on for up to a month after treatment so her condition could actually improve. So don't dwell too much on the doctor saying she will worsen.
Good for her for wanting to go on that trip. It will do her good.
I don't know about the trials that you mentioned but am sending my prayers that one of them suits and works for her.
Take care

Oh Sue I am so sorry that the news wasn't better. But you are choosing to dwell on the positive side that something can be done and I am praying that there are viable options. Even though you knew it was a possibility the reality of it must have been quite a blow and that does take a few days to get over. Continued prayers for you and your mom

Hi everyone!
Hope you feel better soon Judy and that you get your hotdog and fireworks for the 4th.
Heidi, we are experiencing similar weather.
Our holiday was yesterday, July 1st is Canada Day. We went out for dinner but I wasn't feeling well enough after to go sit with the thousands in the inner harbour and watch the fireworks. The rest of my family and friends did go though. I think it is the after chemo tiredness catching up with me. Next week is my week off chemo so hopefully my energy will return.
I hope all my American friends have a great July 4th!

Kasey. I am so sorry to read about Tracy. May many candles be lit in her honor and may she rest in peace.

Good afternoon everyone.
Geesh Judy. I am so sorry you are suffering. Your good attitude is poking through though but one can only take so much. I hope it turns around for you soon.
You have been busy Anne. Rest well at work. And I hope it all slows down for you a bit.
Best wishes on your treatment today Ned.
I am doing pretty good this week. I changed my pain meds last week and that was a complete disaster. I had an awful painful weekend and have now been to the clinic and switched back. Boy this pain mgmt is tricky. But I am feeling better now thank goodness. Pain can really bring you down.
I have been recognized on occasion by folks in my past. My freckles and laugh are usually the give away!
Have a great day everyone!

Hey there. I am sorry to read of your mom's update and that she is in pain and throwing up. The most important thing for her right now is to keep her as comfortable as possible. So please get a hold of the doc for that. Are you signed up for hospice? I think they have lots of solutions for pain as well. I hope things turn around soon for your mom and that her loved ones arrive in time. Prayers for you and your family.

Hi Kristi. I am glad you were able to get away and visit with your dad. His stubborness does have an up side as well though. It helps him fight, we all want to be in control of as much as we can, because alot of this we cannot control.
Randy is right though. He does need to be monitored closely and brought in for medical attention if need be.
I am sending my prayers for good results. Take care

Hi Barb. I am saddened to read of the loss of your dear friend. May she rest in peace.

Hey there. I am so sorry to read about your dad. But glad you came here for support because that is what we are here for.
The beginning is so scary. There are so many unknowns. Then a treatment plan will be put in place and everyone can focus on that.
Please keep us posted on how you and your dad are doing.

We might want to plan the shower a bit sooner versus later. Because if it involves getting Bruce on a plane they might really wonder. And I suspect buffalo are a bit bigger than human babies and he might have to pay for more than 1 seat. Never mind twins! Way up north will never have had such news....and we were the first to know. Think of how famous we will all be! We can all go on a bus tour to celebrate and show off the new borns!

ah Randy, so sorry you had a tough day today. I am sending you a big hug. And look after that finger please.

Carleen, what an awesome tribute to your husband. May you continue to keep those memories close. He sure was quite the guy and you were blessed to have the time you did with him. Take care and keep enjoying life.

Prayers Kasey, for you and all of your family. Peace be with you.

You had better believe I will be attending that baby shower! Never know what can happen to folks living "way up north". All that cold and dark, and then all the daylight can really make a mess of what nature intended.
Bruce, please keep us updated on your progress. Hey does anyone know the gestation period of a buffalo? And are we allowing pregnant people on the bus?

Hi Michelle. You received great advice from Patti and Ned. And I hope you get more action today. And you just go ahead and vent. Following up on all the little things can be quite tiring but really can make a huge difference. So even if it is hard on you, know that you are doing everything possible for your husband. I hope you get some rest soon and even more that you get some attention from the medical professionals. Take care
Sandra

JB, I am so sorry to hear about the growth. My doc once said that it could be a lot worse too. What are they thinking!!?? Growth is growth. I am sending prayers that the next chemo does it's job and that the MRI comes back clean. Take care
