Kimberly - so happy to hear that mom's energy, good spirit and hair are all back! The anxiety of waiting for results is so difficult - praying that results will be a repeat of Sept and Dec.
Blessings to you and yours,
Linda

Oh Tina - this simply CANNOT be happening. I will be keeping you and your FIL in my prayers.
Hugs,
Linda

Barbara - for some reason words are failing me at this time, but I will just speak what my heart feels.
I find it unbelievable that with what you are going through with your beloved Bill right now, that you take the time to remind each and every one of us how there are many blessings still to be seen, even in the worst of times. In this crazy and busy world it is often easy to forget the many things to be thankful for. My Nan used to always say to me "Look for the silver lining in any situation and you will always find at least one". You brought back so many memories of my beloved Nan and her words of wisdom. I thought her to be the most wise and wonderful woman who ever walked this earth, but today I do believe there is another and her name is Barbara.
I am happy that you are able to still see the blessings through the pain you are experiencing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me that memory of my Nan and for giving of yourself at such a vulnerable time.
Many hugs and wishing you many blessings today and always,
Luv,
Linda

(((Barb))) I am so sorry to read about the loss of your friend Linda. My sincere condolences to all her family and friends.

Barb - I, too, am sorry that this scan wasn't what you had hoped for. Hopefully another 4 weeks of Prednisone will eliminate the inflammation and you can move to 6 month scans. Keeping you in my thoughts Barb.
Hugs,
Linda

Whoo hoo - glad to hear from you Melanie! You are one tough cookie and I know you are going to be just fine.
I had a tough time sleeping too as I wasn't used to sleeping on my back - eventually I just got tired enough and fell asleep no matter how I was positioned
Anyhow, glad to know you are on the mend. Take care.
Luv,
Linda

Susan - your mom is certainly a class act - I am pretty sure that the oncs don't often get gifts to help celebrate their patient's good news and upcoming birthdays! What a special lady.
Enjoy the birthday celebration together as a family - can't top the birthday gifts she got this year! Tell her a special "Happy Birthday" from me.
Hugs,
Linda

Hi Debi - sorry I hadn't heard anything; however, Bruce has (posted in General) and apparently she was released from the hospital on Friday and should be posting here soon. Sounds like good news!

Tarceva rocks! Awesome news that your mom is feeling so much better. What a great update Susan!

I received an e-mail from Melanie's sister about her surgery. It was very successful! She went in at 8 a.m. and the surgeon went to talk to the family at 1:45 p.m. Apparently it took longer than anticipated due to scar tissue, but the surgeon stated she/he hadn't seen lungs as healthy as Melanie's in a very long time. She/he also made a smaller incision than usual so she could have a smaller scar.
The family is thankful for all the support and prayers.
Hugs,
Linda

(((Barb))) ... I continue to keep you and Bill in my prayers every day. Reading through your story was like reading a romance novel - so full and love and determination on both your parts. You have something that is rare these days - a treasure trove of love that no amount of money can equate to. As you both continue on this journey, both with happy moments and sad moments, I hope you know that there are many all over the world who are holding you dear in their hearts.
God Bless,
Linda

Awesome news Judy!!!! I am so happy for you!

Hey Melanie - from my perspective I would say the IV would compare to the epidural - I didn't think it hurt at all.
As to the freaking out and not sleeping and anxiety ... I would be concerned about you if you weren't doing all the above. This is absolutely the most nerve wracking thing anyone can go through and honestly, the fact that you are dealing with it as well as you are absolutely amazes me.
I also had a very positive attitude, but you know what ... there are moments and will continue to be moments when negative thoughts, bad feelings and sheer fear will invade your mind. Embrace those for the time you need to and then get back to the kick &$& attitude that you typically have. I can't tell you not to worry because I did when it involved me - all I can say is I am here for you to listen and to help you get back to that positive side when need be. I also found keeping a journal to be a HUGE help to me during that time. I did not want to burden/scare my family with my dark thoughts and fears and that is when I would write and write and write. It would help purge those emotions because truly, we do need to let them out in one fashion or another in order to regain sanity.
Hang tough sweetie - you're almost there!
Luv,
Linda

Thank you Connor! What a wonderful idea for your 100th day of school - I know grandpa is so proud of you!

Have a blast Judy!
Still can't find your mobile device? I thought for sure it would have turned up by now - darn! It's when you're least expecting it and not looking for it (or needing it) that it will turn up.
