Androgen Receptor Testing & Treatment

wow. I had no idea someone was updating us about Hope here. Thanks. I have been very concerned for her. Hope she feels the love of all asking about her. Praying for her family as well

Woody, Thank you for the updates on Hope, I am praying the radiation will help Hope with the bone mets pain, I believe my recent radiation (though torture since getting on the table nearly kills me) has really helped me a lot with my bone mets (was severe prior), and I hope radiation will do the same for Hope. Also, I spent a week in the hospital on a palliative care floor - they were able to get me to the right dose of morphine - too little was keeping me in pain, and the higher dose making me sick/exhausted - finding the right dose and also using liquid morphine, not solid morphine which wasn't working (and I never would have found this out at home, without the help of the excellent palliative care nurses and docs during my hospital stay) - this was the key - I hope that Hope is getting some expert advice and will soon get some relief of her pain and the exhaustion that comes with it. I am also using the Lidocaine patch on my rib fracture, and it seems to be working (not as effective for spine, but good for rib fractures (I have a bad rib fracture that I thought was another spine fracture since it is a rib that wraps around to the spine) - the patch does work well on rib fractures if Hope has any of those, and you can use it longer than directed, doc said just remove it for 4 hrs/day. Keeping Hope and her family in my prayers.

I too had no idea that Woody was updating us on Hope. Please let her know that I think of her often & hoping that treatment brings her some relief. Best thoughts to Hope from Dee

Thanks so much for the update Woody. I am sending positive thoughts for you feeling well Friday Hope!

Woody, Hope is frequently on my mind. I was not too far from where she lives last weekend (the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley), and I thought about her and tried to send healing vibes to her as I looked out over the absolutely beautiful countryside, looking towards the Pacific. Fingers crossed that she's feeling better today and will be well enough to get chemo tomorrow or very soon. Deanna

Thanks Woody. Continued prayers for Hope.

I didn't know updates regarding Hope could be found here-Thank you so much - I think of her every day as well and worry and think and wonder- and more worry,and prayers are always with her. My heart started to burn as I read the updates,but I will never stop pulling for Hope, or give up Hope. I don't post much, but feel a kinship to Hope as we both live in the same town and know some of the same people.God Bless you Hope-sending rays of sunshine and many gentle (((((huggs))))
