    VLH, my last chemo was 7/14, I had my re-excision on 8/10 and my surgeon removed my port then as well. I was glad to be rid of it. I've had to have a handful of blood draws since then, and I've used the topical lidocaine on my arm. Works great!

    Hello Cocker (Annie),

    I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and I am so sorry to hear all that you are going through. You have been a constant on the thread and a huge support to a lot of women.

    Take care and let us know how things go.

    Wishing you all the very best from the UK.

    Fondest thoughts.

    Sylvia xxxx

    Hello Linda,

    I was glad to see you posting on the thread in response to Cocker. I do remember talking to you way back when in the early days of this thread. So many of the women posting then have now stopped and I do not know too many of the new names.

    I was glad to know all is well with you. I am now over 11 years since diagnosis but do not take anything for granted. Two women I know have had their cancer come back after 13 years but are doing well on treatment and still doing well two years on.

    Fondest thoughts.

    Sylvia xxxx

    Annie!!! I just heard of the 7.8 earthquake in New Zealand...and I'm sick to my stomach wondering if you're okay. I messaged you elsewhere, but please give us a smoke signal that you and your family are okay! Sending you prayers all around. I sure hope and pray with everything I have that you're more than pleasantly surprised by your results. We are here for you no matter what...please remember that.

    gmm - what a beautiful prayer. Amen.

    Ladies - thank you so much for thinking of me the past few days. Results took much longer than I expected, but everything is clear. I thought the wait on the results meant my BS was getting her ducks in a row to deliver bad news, but she wanted to call me personally and it took her some extra time to do so. She'd like me to follow up with PCP on the weight loss to get to the root of it. If I have no luck with my PCP, she wants me to see a Rheumatologist. She thinks something immune related might be going on, as I also started having a random allergic reaction in the form of swelling under my eyes (like bags) when I wake up in the morning. This started around the same time as the weight loss. It happens about once or twice a month and takes a few days to go down. I can't for the life of me pin point the cause. Anyway, I'm very relieved. Thanks so much for all of your support! xoxo

    Annie - again - hope to hear from you soon that you and your family are okay! xoxo

    Hi allydp,

    Thanks for appreciating the prayer for Annie. I hope all is well with you. I just learned now about the big quake in Christchurch, NZ. Was there a tsunami too? I'm gonna watch tv news now.

    I am worried about Annie too, and all the people of New Zealand. Let's pray for them.

    Take care and God bless,

    gmmiph

    jenjen sorry my dear but no good news here.

    Have large cancerous mass in the middle of my chest. Without chemo several months. With chemo possibly a year but have to have a special biopsy to see if chemo suitable. Family are devastated. What a F.... shit day.

    The earthquake. We did feel it because I heard a bang and my bedroom door was banging like mad against the bedroom wall and the room swaying a bit. I woke my hubby and said someone was breaking in so he sat up in bed and said "ok we are ready for you". How we would have been ready I don't know because all the intruder would have seen was two oldies, hair in a bedtime mess and not a candlestick between us to defend ourselves. I laughed so hard, it was so funny.

    LUV I thought if anything it would be in my right breast and I could have it gone but I think God this forsaken me this time.

    Ally wonderful news for you. It really brightened m y day. You keep going my darling you have a lot to live for.

    Gosh Miss Annie,

    I have never felt so sorry in my life. To think that there's so many here praying and rooting for you. Sometimes I really think it is so unfair. Why are those good people suffering? Why not the bad ones? Why not Trump, for heaven's sake!

    Can surgery and chemo still fix it? I wish there's still a way. So many difficult cases like yours have been treated before. How about experimental chemo drugs on clinical trials? There must still be a way.

    It is good you still have that humor in you. Hold on to that. Hold on to your dear husband and children, Hold on to us.

    We will continue to pray hard for you.

    Rest well and stay strong.

    We love you!

    Gina

    Dear Sisters,

    Once again I would like to request you to please offer a few seconds of your precious time to devote the following prayer for our dear friend Annie, for her complete healing from this common dreadful disease we are all suffering from. We also include in this prayer our own personal healing and for the safety of our loved ones.


    Heavenly Father,

    We seek your omnipotent presence at this very moment.

    We humbly beg for your forgiveness for all the sins we have commited. We want to be truly cleansed before your holy presence.

    We thank you for all the blessings you have bestowed upon us.

    We now come to you in deep prayer to petition for the complete healing of our friend Annie. May your healing hands touch her now, melt all cancer cells in her body, remove all diseases she has and show to her that with sincere faith, Your infinite love and mercy will be upon her.

    We also pray for the deliverance of all of us from this dreaded disease which bind us. May our collective petition be a unified sign of immense faith which would be pleasing enough for You to grant us Your infinite compassion.

    We also pray for the comfort and protection of our loved ones. That they may calmly understand your Holy Will. Keep them safe Father.

    In Jesus' name, we pray,

    Amen

    Cocker, I can't tell you how deeply sorry I am! This disease is so damn awful, obviously! It just plain sucks and isn't fair. I'd never wish this on anyone but it's so unfair that the nicest of people who try to do good in this world are the ones who end up with cancer and other diseases with no cure! You're not alone. We will fight with you. Just a crappy day for all of us! I'm so sorry! Holding you tight sweet Annie! That's all I have for now. I'll continue to pray for comfort for you and your family. Love you!!

    Cocker...I do not have the words to express my sadness. I have just reached my first cancerversary and you have been a beacon of hope for me since I first discovered this wonderful site. The board will be filled today with sentiments from all those you have touched here. One thing I've learned since my diagnosis last year is that we are not in control of anything except the one minute we have now to enjoy life and the opportunity to mak a difference for another human being. You have made an enormous difference to so many. Even though it doesn't seem like it today...you also are blessed with so much love coming back in return. I will never forget you.

    Cocker, damn it...so sorry, i was hoping i'd be right. Is it TN or a different type? Is it in a location that it can be surgically removed? Lung area disection has advanced so much. Please take the time to be upset and then fight, do not accept defeat. We are with you fighting...always. XO

    Add me to the list of women who so appreciate you, and I am praying for you along with the others. You are such a support to everyone on this thread, and I hope that knowing how many of us are thinking of you helps a teeny bit as you continue to fight this nasty TNBC.

    Annie....I honestly can't find the right words to convey how much my heart is breaking for you and for your family. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through right now. But I know you're scared and have many decision to make. Just as you have always been here for us, we will be here for you. Always. Lean on us. Lean on your loved ones and family. I know they're devastated, but they want to be there for you. You have an army of support closely around you. You are not alone in this. You are in my thoughts and prayers constantly. Love you.

    Annie,

    I couldn't be more sick...I actually feel it physically. Even though none of us have met you ( I don't believe) you obviously have made a great impact on us. Also, my dismay is not one of "it can happen to me"! I do know that is a possibility, but I just am really feeling for you and your family at this time. I hope you feel up to keeping us all posted on what your plans are, and letting us support you as much as possible. This f-ing disease is cruel. I hate it with a passion I am unfamiliar with in any other area of my life. To say this is unfair is a gross understatement. You did everything your were supposed to do to kick this to the curb and yet..... You must know, I think we on this forum understand as much as anyone else possibly can, how you must be feeling and would do anything we could to make things better. xoxo Marcy (Georgie was chosen for my grandma Georgia who was the strongest woman I know in hopes that I could channel some of her strength.) I'm not feeling all that strong today.

    I have not yet heard about my bone scan results. It's been 2 weeks now so I guess I will call tomorrow to find out what's going on.


    Love to all. XX

    Hi Cathytoo,

    Congrats on your 1st Cancerversary. Praying for your full healing.

    Madam Cocker,

    There are so many options to beat cancer. If there's a will, there's a way. We dont exactly know what type of cancer you now have. Please let us know more. I am sure there's someone here with an appropriate info and treatment suggestion if they know specific things about your case. I am wondering why your mass grew so big without detection. Have you faithfully done your meds and periodic checkups?

    There's surgery, chemo, rads, clinical trials, complementary, integrative, alternative, holistic, herbalism, botanicals, ayurvedic, traditional chinese medicine and maybe even quack or voodoo doctors that you can try. There's always good nutrition to start with like anti-cancer and antimutagenic foods. The main thing is dont give up!

    We are all inside your already heavy pocket, praying for you! Always bring that sewing kit I told you before, just in case there's a hole.

    Your avid fan,

    John Wayne
