    New Day, New Attitude

    in HOPE

    Posted

    Judy, Judy, Judy!!! I was waiting for this one and I posted on the air last night, but this news deserves another post... I'm "over the top" with you. This is great news. Just wish the Taxotere would go a little easier on you. We know with chemo that sometimes, you just have to give in and rest because it has a big job to do and your body needs extra energy too. Take care of yourself and don't try to over do. I'm praying for the good news to continue to get better and better.

    Love,

    Sue

    Hope it's ok just to run through real quick. I love reading all of you, but sometimes can't keep up.. :) I did, however, have my eye on Judy KW and I'm so glad I checked back in tonight and read your scan results. Sounds like positive news, Judy. Taxotere can be a rough one for sure, but it has been known to be pretty rough on cancer too. Sorry, you have to go through all the rough to get results, though. You take care and get some rest. I'll keep the prayers coming.

    Luv ya,

    Sue

    Michelle, it's good to see you sounding so happy. I feel sure, Donald would have wanted this for you. It's good that you have found someone who can relate to your grief and understand the emotional toll. You aren't replacing Donald, you are just starting another chapter in your life. Donald will always be a part of what made you who you are and I'm sure he will live on in your heart forever. May this new found happiness just continue to grow and blossom. :) God Bless.

    Chris, thanks for posting this incredibly sad news. I know it is hard for you , you and Patti were so close. You were both blessed to have the friendship of one another. I'm just so sorry for your loss.

    Patti was an amazing , beautiful person with a HUGE heart and a wonderful sense of humor.. I will miss her so so much. She gave so much of herself to so many and asked so little in return. She seemed to always put her family and friends needs ahead of her own and I loved that about her.

    Nick, I know I don't need to tell you this, but I want you to know that your mom was so very proud of you. Every time she would mention you in posts or email, she was just bursting with pride. She talked about you often and with so much love. I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am that you have lost your mom and your family has lost such a beautiful lady. In time , all those memories you have of her will give you comfort when you need it most. My thoughts and prayers are with you , your Dad , your family and Patti's friends . We will all miss her so very much.

    Love,

    Sue

    Forty-one years ago today, was the happiest day of my life. I married the man of my dreams and we had a storybook marriage for 36 years. I am so thankful for having had the perfect marriage and to have been blessed with such a wonderful husband , something not everyone has been so fortunate to have had. They were wonderful years , filled with beautiful memories , all of which seem to be flooding back to me today. Happy Anniversary, Mike, to where you are. You may have left this world 5 years ago , but you will live on in my heart forever. I love you!

    MOM IS NED!!!

    in HOPE

    Posted

    Mom called me as my sister ( Bonnie Jones) was driving her home from the doctor's office and she said "are you ready for this?" ... "I'm NED!!!".. "The doctor says there is no evidence of disease anywhere" on the PET Scan. This is a little over 3 years past diagnosis, after having 2 wedge sections and ultimately having cyberknife 1 & 1/2 years ago.. YAY Cyberknife!!! To this day, my mom gives extra thanks to Joel and Maryanne for sharing Joel's cyberknife experience and giving her the courage to go through it... So, first thanks to God and second thanks to all the family and friends who have been supportive and kept her in your thoughts and prayers. She wanted me to be sure and convey how very much it means to her that all of you have been here for her. So on behalf of my mom and my family , thank you lcsc family.. we love you.

    Love,

    Sue

    Judy,

    Wow! This is such a thought provoking , awe-inspiring post. I've learned so much from cancer survivors and you certainly rank up top as one of the ones who has really made me take a long hard look at my own way of viewing things in my life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and as always , you remain my my prayers.

    Hugs,

    (((Judy))), I sure thought I posted to this.. guess I'm losing my marbles. I can promise you that you have been and are still in my thoughts and prayers. Was just reading the air and it sounds like you are situated at home , tethered and all. Sure hope you are soon feeling much much better and ditching the tethers..

    Love,

    Sending understanding hugs. It has been over 5 years for me and it's still hard, at times. As Randy has said, there are just thoughts, holidays, places etc. that trigger the memories and then pain and the tears are still right there. Know that what you are feeling is normal and in time, there will be more happy days than sad. Above all, be patient and kind to yourself and let yourself grieve.

    Hugs,

    Sue

    Judy, I dropped in here tonight to look for your results. Saw your post in the "air" this morning and you have been in my thoughts all day. Although, I would have wanted perfect results for you, I have to say that overall this doesn't sound that bad. At least it is treatable and "doable" with options. My mom had two wedge sections of her upper lobe and then had a second recurrence and had cyberknife. I wondered if stereo-tactic radiation was the same thing and from what I can gather cyberknife is a form of stereo-tactic radiation and is the least invasive. Just to share with you what the optimal plan would have been for my mom, they would have liked to be able to remove her upper lobe, but she was not a candidate for that kind of surgery. She was 81 at the time and is on oxygen for emphysema. She had the cyberknife procedure and has been cancer free for nearly 1 1/2 years now. Joel has also had great success from cyberknife and is over 2 years cancer free, I believe. Not trying to sell cyberknife, but just discussing possible options based on what little I know about it.. lol Sorry you have to face possible surgery , but for your sake I'm thankful that surgery is an option. You have a lot of friends here who will be pulling for you. With your fantastic attitude and all the prayers and support coming your way, you're gonna be fine. I'll most certainly be praying for you from here.

    Hugs,

    Sue
