  1. All are so very true...thank you for sharing.
  2. Oh my...how scary. I am sending prayers your way. Sandra
  3. Hi Jompy. I agree with all the other wisdom here. You have done your absolute best as a caregiver. What a gift you have been to your friend. You take care as well. Sandra
  4. Knock knock Judy.....can you hear me knocking at your shell. Just wanting to make sure you are all the way out!!! Hope you are having a great day! Sandra
  5. Hi Dawn. I absolutely remember you. I am sorry to read your update but like others have said, you are not going anywhere yet, treatment for brain mets can be quite effective. I don't have any specific advice for you re hospice or making your final arrangements. But you will seek out information and look after all of that. I do get what you are going through with your daughter. I have 2 kids, aged 13 and 14 and they are the toughest part of all of this. It is really not fair for them. So I am sending both you and your daughter hugs and prayers. Get the information you need, make your final arrangements, and then you can enjoy every day you have left with the peace of mind you deserve. Sandra
  6. Well I have no idea what diverticulus is (nor can I spell it) but from what others are saying it sounds like good news! So hurrah for that. Now just get rid of that other crazy thing! Sandra

    Hi Lilly. It is so good to hear from you and to be able to celebrate your awesome news. Your attitude is so commendable. You go girl! Keep up the good work. Sandra
  8. Hi Shirley. Thanks for dropping by and wishing us well. I am so sorry for your loss. May there be better days ahead. Sandra
  9. Our long stretch of summer weather continues. I think we have had 3 weeks with no rain. The local strawberries should be ready next week. I have had some up and down days this week. I think the chemo tires me out a few days after treatment. Am feeling a bit perkier today. Off for a zometa treatment later. A few ball games this weekend and a BBQ. And just spending time with family. So sorry to hear about your MIL Ned. Denise, don't be such a stranger. Hope you have a restful weekend. Have a great weekend all. Put your troubles aside and enjoy something. Sandra
  10. That's great news Barb. I am sure you are one happy lady. It is so nice when prayers are answered. Continued best wishes Sandra
  11. Very sad. May he rest in peace, knowing that he made a difference.

    I agree with everyone else Mike. Go on out there. You will represent us well. Sandra
  13. Congrats on 8 years Gail and all you have gotten to experience. I wish you many more healthy happy years. Sandra
  14. Hi Anne. Don't give up hope yet. Radiation can work up to a month after treatments. I have experienced it's positive effects both during and after treatment. If you don't receive a lot of benefit though, be sure to follow up. I had one round that did little and I wish I had said so earlier. Hang in there Sandra
  15. oh Caren, I hope that deep breath comes soon for you. I am sending you hugs and prayers. Sandra
  16. Good afternoon everyone. It is a beautiful day here in Victoria....we have had a good run of summer! The kids are still in school for a few more weeks and then the lazy days of summer will begin. Will, I am sending prayers your way for a clean scan. You definitely do not have time to be sick. Have safe comfy travels Judy. I am just back from getting my nails done....a red raspberry summer color! And I bought a new outfit to go out for dinner tonight! Should be fun. Have a lovely evening everyone. Sandra

    Question

    I think it is appropriate to teach them about the harms of tobacco at that age. That along with other healthy lifestyle choices like exercise and diet. Those messages can't be said enough to any age.
  18. Hi Marci. You probably really needed to let it all out. Am sending you a big hug for better days ahead. Sandra
  19. And I am ecstatic to here that Linda! Wonderful news! Now enjoy a worry free summer and that's an order! Sandra
  20. Well I didn't think that gravol was Canadian. But it is an over the counter medicine used to calm the stomach when travelling. I used them in Disneyland to handle the rides. So I am sure there is an equivalent in the US. I am sure ginger is an ingredient.
  21. Hey there. I am so sorry that your poppop went so quickly. As others have said, let yourself grieve. I am sending you a big hug and hoping for better days ahead. Take care Sandra

    Joyous

    Hi Joyce. I must have missed your earlier post as well. I want to wish you a warm welcome to this site. I have found many friends, support and information here. I wish you the best with treatments and hope to get to know you better on the boards. Take care Sandra
  23. Sending prayers to you and all your dear friends Ginny. Sandra
  24. Hey there. I am in my 40's and have young children, one of each, aged 13 and 14. They are definitely the hardest part of all this and are the reason I continue to fight each day. The best we can do is be there for them each and every day we are alive. The rest is in someone else's hands. It is so hard and really so unfair for young children to have to live through this battle. Feel free to PM me if you like. Take care and enjoy your kids the best you can. Sandra
  25. Welcome back Angie. I am sure you needed a break after your dad's passing and there is absolutely no way you should be ashamed. It sure is nice to see that you are able to return now and offer support to others. That is much appreciated. Sandra
