Concerned about Hope

Woody, I am sorry to hear that the disease has progressed and tha Hope was put on hospice. Thank you for letting us know. Hope will be in my thoughts and prayers. I will pray for comfort, peace, and relief from pain for her. I will also pray for strength and comfort for her family and friends.

Woody thanks for the update. It's heartbreaking to learn Hope is in hospice. I hope and pray she will be comfortable surrounded by the love of her family.

And prayers for you Woody as you face so many challenges. Love and hugs to both of you.

That is so sad to hear. I pray for her to be pain free and hope she feels how much she is loved. Prayers for her family and friends.

thank you all for your support , prayers and love you are showing Hope and me. She is at peace with the decision she made few months back to stop treatments and i will believe she will go when she is ready. Today she seemed better and was able to walk, she met the hospice people and she seems to like them. Hopefully they will keep her pain under control.

Peace with you and plenty of love to all of you. Your care is much appreciated . Healing lights to all of you wonderful ladies.

I'm heartbroken to hear that things have changed so quickly for Hope, and I'm sorry that you, Woody, are dealing with so much right now. I hope your brother-in-law's tx works well for him.

Tell Hope she is uppermost in my prayers. I have only heard wonderful things about Hospice, and I pray they will keep her comfortable. Oh, and could you PM me her address? I'd like to send her a card. Thanks.

Woody - Very sad to read news about lovely Hope. She started our Ibrance thread and was so helpful - sorry the protocal didn't work longer for her. But I respect her decision to spend time with family and be off many of the meds that hurt her. Please share our collective gentle hugs and warm wishes to be painfree in hospice. (())

Feeling very sad to read this. I pray for peace and comfort for her in hospice. I respect that she is doing things her way. That is how it should be.

I like to think we will all be around these boards forever, even though I know the reality. Everyone is so vital in their posts, it is hard to comprehend so many of us are near the end. Hope's posts were the first I read when I started these boards and she was really the face of the BCO mets forum to me and I believe to many others.

((((((Woody))))) for keeping us updated on Hope even though you are having such a sad time with your family.

I first met Hope on the AA thread and she kept me going through a very tough time - then we both went on to Faslodex which has worked for me but not, alas, for Hope but she soldiered on and started the Ibrance thread which is a font of information for so many - she has been a comfort to so many of us and now we can only hope to be some comfort to her. Sending love, S

My first stage IV treatment was aromasin/ibrance and my onc ordered the ibrance the first week of its FDA approval. Hope stated the thread right as I started the drug. As I have changed treatments, I have found so many of her posts on other threads so valuable. She has been such a wonderful friend to so many of us. Her posts have always been so helpful and encouraging and honest and courageous. Hope, you and your family are in my daily thoughts and prayers.

Thank you, Woody, for the updates and my prayers go to you and your family.

I am so sad to hear this. I admire Hope's determination to try everything and be there for her loving family. She shows such compassion and love. I also got many helpful tips from her posts. This disease is the pits. Someone described BC as a thief and it steals us away. May Hope be comfortable and pain free in hospice. She will be in my prayers, as will you Woodylb. Thank you for the updates.

Hope signed off bco about the time I signed on, so we never "spoke" together, but her posts intrigued me for a long time - she was so good at starting new topic threads when she started new treatments. What a trail blazer!

Woody, you are so kind and considerate for all of us. I can only imagine the heartbreaks you're experiencing with Hope, your family and yourself too.

Thank you for continuing as our communicator with Hope. Please let her know she is loved here.

And know that you are loved too! You are extraordinary and we're extraordinarily blessed that you are willing to fulfill this role.

warmest healing regards for all, Stephanie

Rosevalley and Stephanie while you deal with your own illness you overwhelm everybody with your kidness , love and unselfishness. I hope you both are painfree send you both healing lights. You are both dear to me too. I love you dearly.

To all of you lovely ladies i send my warmest feelings of peace and healing.

I just wish i was not the bearer of such news, jowever i have lost some friends on this board without anyone noticing they were gone and it made me sad i was not able to find anyone who could tell me snything about them. This is why it is important to me to keep updating about Hope. She was the first to welcome me on this board and encourage meand so many others. She is such a wonderful lady , she is a friend andi pray everyday she willbe around for a little longer.

If anything happens and i am unable to get her she asked her husbsnd to post here. 😔😔

Loce and kidness to all.

Thank you Zill , you are right i hope we all find peace and comfort . Gentle hugs.

Yes, as difficult and heartbreaking as it is, I still want to know if we have lost a dear one so as not to wonder....I, like you Woody, pray that Hope rallies and has more time with her family. Thank you for being such a great friend to all. Prayers, peace and healing for us all....

Woody, thank you.

I am just another voice that adds to the chorus of love for Hope and her family.
