Anyone starting chemo in Aug. 08?

Home now for the third day, and moving towards a decision to enter hospice care. With an aggressive tumor and no help from clinical trials. We are now feeling cut off. The Lord will provide, though. We have never lacked for anything. Thanks be to God.

Bone scan negative - must be the Tamoxifen!!!!!!!! I feel a lot better knowing those test results!!!! Gram got to come home Friday but is back in the hospital as of last night.  I know the time has come - it won't be easy BUT I don't want her living in pain!!! Loves to all....................

alibug, my prayers are with your gram and family.

Bette, I continue to pray for you and I know God will be with you in making your decisions.  Tom has been great in updating us and I hope you will keep in contact.  Please know that you are in our thoughts.

misty, happy birthday!

Deanna, so nice to see you on FB!

Gail and I met on Sat at Saltgrass Steakhouse on the Guadelupe River!  It was a beautiful day in beautiful surroundings!  Gail is one hot mama and such a wonderful person!  I didn't want to leave, she's one of those people you can talk to forever.  She is one of those rare individuals who has gone everywhere and done everything!  Talk about living your life!  She has inspired me!  I can't wait to see her again!  I'm going to try to post my pics later.

Have a great day!

Hello all,

Had very rough weekend from #4. I guess the last one had to be the kicker. I'm still recovering. Lord, let this be the final one. Was feeling pretty down yesterday. Cried, and watched a lot of movies. Back at work today and tomorrow Vets Day. (off!)

Thank you all for warm wishes and prayers.  Let's pray this bc is still localized. Will find out in 2 weeks from PET scan. (ugh)

Bette: I'm so happy to hear from you! My prayers continue hard for you. I pray for your healing and comfort.

Gail & Deen: I so wish I was there to visit with you! So happy you had a great time. Yes Deen, Gail has such an eloquent voice and gentle personality, you can talk for hours!

Happy Birthday Misty and many many more!

Love to all,

Jeannine

Hi Everyone,

Just got off the plane from Texas and visiting my Mom and brother. How great to have an afternoon with Deen by the river on a sunny day - being together like friends who've known each other for years! Deen you are gorgeous, warm and wonderful to talk with -  and I'm thrilled to have a new friend to visit!

Hugs, Gail & Deen! 

First time I've ever heard of that happening, Corinne!  Was the tick actually imbedded in your skin?  Thank goodness they didn't miss it, and hopefully, as strange as it is, it's all unfolding just as it should.  That will be an interesting story you'll be telling your grandkids someday!    Deanna

I called Bette today and it is with GREAT saddness that her daughter's husband passed away. The funeral is this Sat. If we could all remember her daughter Rachel and their family in prayer she would appreciate it.

Bette and Tom we love you and are sending hugs and hugs and hugs!!

Lisa, I just private messaged you. Wow, we are so happy to have you back!! That is so great about your husband and ....PREGNANT!! Thank you Lord for your blessings!!

Bette, my condolences on the passing of your son-in-law.  My prayers continue for you.

Lisa, SO glad to hear from you!!!!  It sounds like things are looking WAY up for you!!!:)

Corinne, I'm SO sorry that happened to you!!!  A tick?!  I know you are disappointed and I hope your surgery will be here before you know it.

alibug, how's grandma?
{{{{HUGS}}}

Deen

OMG! I am so happy to hear from you Lisa and to hear your great news! Yes the Lord does work miracles.  You have been in my thoughts & prayers contantly. I'm so happy your marriage and brain surgery have turned around. Amen!

Corrine: Sorry, but I had to chuckle at the thought of the Docs finding a tick on you! That is too much. But you're right...much better than bc!

Bette: I am deeply sorry for your family's loss. I put you on another prayer line on Wednesday. I hope you're feeling better.

Alibug: I will keep your grandmother in prayer and healing.

Gail & Deen:  You 2 look fabulous! Loving the pic.

Well having PET scan is next Thursday. Cross your fingers for me girls. I'm not worrying. Giving it all to God.

Have a nice weekend.

Love & Prayers,

Jeannine

Lisa ~  What a wonderful surprise to see your name pop up here again, and even more wonderful to know that you're doing well in all counts!  God is good!

Bette ~ I'm so sorry that you are still struggling with tx, but I continue to pray for you many times a day, and, as hard as it is to understand why you haven't had better response to your tx, I firmly believe that God is in control and right there with you.  And my condolences on the loss of your son-in-law. 

I hope everyone gets to enjoy the beauty of this autumn weekend, wherever you are ~  Deanna

So much has been happening since my stop the surgery tick bite. I cannot write it all or it would take up all the pages here. So I will just say that I am going for surgery on Thurs to get my port out!!!Yahooo!!!  As I stated before surgery for reconstruction is the day before Thanksgiving and I am starting the Neratinib trial on the 30th. Life sometimes does not go smoothly but I took time today to go horseback riding just to get away from all the pressures.  Looking good out there!!!

Jeannine: I know that those PET scans can seem so scary.  I am praying for you!!

Bette:  We love you and pray for you constantly. 

Hugs to all

Good morning all!

I'm feeling much better (finally) I have my days..Sunday great, yesterday so-so..today wonderful..I think the Xoleda is getting to me..my poor toes.  Going to visit w/the the Gynecologist in an hour to discuss oophorectomy. I'm going to try to have this done a few weeks after my Bi-MSX and before Rads..what a schedule! 

Corrine: I'm happy to hear your ports getting removed! Yea what a relief. Good going on the upcoming trial.  Keep on horseback riding.

Bette:  Praying and thinking of you constantly our dear Lord be with you and comfort both you and Tom.

Hood:  No problem on the do-rags..actually my daughter bought some for me and I have quite a lot Thank you!!  I even got a new wig. Receiving many compliments.  I'll have to post a new avatar soon.

Thank you all for the positive wishes and prayers for Thursday's PET scan.  No carbs tomorrow. Hard...I'm not going to worry. It's all in God's hands.

Oh how do all of you feel about the new change in mamo guidelines?  So what are we 40 and under and at risk women supposed to rely on now? Hmmmm.

Have a blessed week everyone,

Jeannine

Hi everyone,

Jeannine, was just thinking & reading this morning about the new Task Force guidelines - good question! Yes, it's a process that gets lots of women in their 40's tested & have many false positives - but, wow, to get a false positive would be a dream come true for us! And I'll trade that for saving lives by early detection in the 40's!  Good wishes for PET on Thurs!

Corinne, glad the ports are out - and thinking good thoughts about the surgery coming up!

Misty, hadn't told you, but love your Long hair! 

Bette, always thinking of you

Love,

Gail
