    Awwhhh Lisa that is so cute! I hope the mother realizes she's ignoring her baby soon. Were you really close to them, or do you have a good zoom on your camera?

    Thanks for all of the words and pics of encouragement. I had a catscan on Tuesday, had a strange reaction to it later that night that involved hours of convulsing. When I woke up on Wednesday, my neck was swollen and too painful to move. This morning I woke up and the swollen part of my neck is much larger, 3x4 inches and all inflamed. So I am feeing awful, and then the oncology nurse calls to say that they have the results of my catscan. On last month's catscan, it showed a new tumor in my neck, near my trachea. This week's scan shows that this tumor has tripled in size. Also, before I had lots of pleural effusion (indicating mets to lungs or side effect from Xeloda/Dasatinib). This week the pleural effusion has gone down slightly. And now it is Friday night and I have to wait til Monday to hear what the course of attack is. IT BETTER NOT INTERFERE WITH MY TRIP TO KAUAI. that's all I have to say for now about this!

    (Kauai is one of the islands in Hawaii)

    awwhhh Toyful, I'm so sorry you're having to play this waiting game. That is absolutely the worst!! I'm you're you get plenty of support from Annie. she seems to want to be there for you. My dogs were there........still are as a matter of fact. You'll find out more next week and will find out what your treatment plant is and when it starts. That should make you feel much better. I'm praying for peace and contentment for your heart, mind and soul this weekend. try not to worry. it doesn't help anything anyway. Do some busy work....go watch people at the mall or walmart, just something to get your mind off your sitution. My prayers and thoughts are with you. If you need to talk, just PM me and I'll be here. God bless you girl!!!

    Father in heaven, Help me to have hope by surrounding me with

    hopeful people. Help me not to receive bad news as though it is the last

    edition, but rather as one piece of information afloat on a river of facts

    flowing into a hopeful future. Heal me, I pray not for my sake or anyone else's,

    but for Your sake. And ground my hope in the reality of  Your profound  and

    enduring love for me and the desire for my well-being. In the name of Jesus I pray. AMEN

    Toyful, alittle pray for you and I will put you on my other on here, God bless all of you.

    Thanks for the cuties, Hugs to all, Debbie

    Toyful, my heart is so sad for you that you are having to go through all this.  I will be sending many prayers everyday for you to heal and get a treatment that works. You have just got to go on your trip no matter what and make that beach memory and share with the rest of us.  Hope and pray that each day your feeling better and doing better.

    Footie, you are always in my prayers.  Hang in there, be strong, and keep fighting.  Lots of hugs to you.

    Hugs and love to all you sweet beach friends.

    Welcome Curlie!! You found us on the beach. You'll love it here.

    I picked up a pair of flip flops for you while I was on the Boardwalk the other day.

    Welcome to our restorative beach:
