    HI ladies, my name is Mandy and my mum is Annie (Cocker_Spaniel). She asked me to give you an update as she knew you were wondering where she was. So far it's been a rough long road for her and instead of the holiday we hoped for she ended up in hospital for whole holiday plus a few extra days. She has had one lot of chemo and then on the way to our holiday resort she started feeling unwell with a very high temperature, so ended up in Hospital. It now been found out that she has the super bug MRSA with septicaemia. They doctors are still working out how to get rid of this bug, which if not treated could mean the loss of her life, within 5 to 10 days. She has been on IV antibiotics since the start of her Hospital stay and everyday since, she goes for blood tests to see if the culture is still growing. Her arms are black and blue with pin pricks everywhere. We are all hoping that she can get rid of this bug or she won't be able to have any more chemo. Mum has been very worried as she has been too sick to come on here and tell you how she has been, so I will do it for her until such time as she is well again.

    She's always in your pocket as usual and loves each one of you very much. For all those ladies just diagnosed or going through treatment or all those ladies living in the moment Mum is thinking of you all.

    Love from Annie xx (& Mandy)

    Hi Mandy,

    I am so sorry to hear about your Mum Annie's condition. How in the world did she get MRSA? We missed her. She is well loved here, I mean like an icon.

    I will deeply pray for her. I know many others like me are anxious on how she's doing and they will all be praying for her too.

    Please take good care of your Mum, together with your Dad. She is a rare beautiful lady inside and out. She gives so much encouragement and inspiration to others so unselfishly, for a long time already. We love her dearly.

    Please tell her we are always in her pocket, wishing for her complete healing and recovery.

    You take care of yourself too.

    Sending my prayer and positive thoughts for your Mum and the entire family.

    God Bless You!

    Gina

    Mandy, thank you for letting her BCO family know how she is doing, we have all been worried. Your Mom is an incredible woman filled with the type of generosity of spirit that shines bright and has given us all strength. We are now returning the strength and love she deserves. Personally, when I found out I was metaplastic, she sent me a PM filled with encouragement and more importantly hope. Sending a gentle hug filled with hope and encouragement. You can do this Annie!

    Hugs, love and prayers, Shari

    Hi ladies, old timer here to check on our dear Annie.

    Mandy, thank you for the update on your Mom !(my heart was sick when I read through so many posts with no word). Please tell Mom I'm right in her pocket and I'm sending her all my white blood cells. Annie and all your family are in my prayers

    Allydp - your baby news really made me smile today. Congrats!

    Amhbeks - sending you some delayed happy thoughts.

    Meadow - glad to hear surgery went easy on you

    DIV - You're in my prayers, you're one strong woman.

    Jeniorsim - when I relapsed, I insisted that my doctor drop the sugar coating. She gave me 2.5 to 3 years. Well it was 3 years this June and I'm still disease free at this point. Nobody but God knows how long we will live....have faith. Every day you live is a day closer to a cure.

    Congrats Inspired/Debra and Shopgal2

    Nan812, Mykiddies, GT1965, Marias, Mony4ever (and any other new members I've missed). You are in the right place for both information and support. I don't know how I would have survived without this site. Trust the wisdom of these women

    Ladies, I have some sad news to share, my Mom died 2 weeks ago, but don't feel sad for either of us. When I was diagnosed, my biggest fear was that I wouldn't out live my then 87 y.o. Mom. (It was just me and Mom, who has already buried her other child. ). The thought of her being left behind in the world tormented me, I prayed every day.

    Mom chose to not go back to the hospital and went peacefully in 4 days. Her biggest fear was who "would hold my hand". My cousin ( who is the sister of my heart) her husband, and one of our dear friends came to visit and Mom just went. (I wasn't expecting her to go for at least another day). It was her last gift to me, she knew my hand was being held and chose to go.

    I had told Mom to send me a message she was okay. The one thing to know about Mom, is the staff was never allowed to disturb her from 7:30 - 8:00, when she watched Jeopardy. Ever the prankster, Mom died at 7:55 pm, right after the final Jeopardy question, when the theme song is playing. Message received.

    Now it's time to do what Mom told me. "You have spent years taking care of me, now go live your life". Though I'm broken hearted, I'm going to try and do that. Also my fear is gone. When this disease comes back like that stalker boyfriend, I'll be okay.

    Kathryn my heart goes out to you as I lost my mom 5 mo ago. She was 82 and saw me thru all my treatments. I miss her every day. But your mom was right that you need to live. My mom told me that too. She said to use my second chance to truely live. And I'm trying to do that and not let my fear hold me back.

    Mandy, you sound as special as your Mom. I join everyone here wishing your Mom a speedy recovery from the MRSA and then onward to chemo and what ever it takes to stop this disease in its tracks for her. She is so wise and caring and loved by so many. Hugs to you, your Mom, Dad and all of your family.

    Kathy, I am sorry for your loss. Your Mom was fortunate to have had such a special relationship with her daughter. Your Mom was right, now it's your turn to relax and enjoy your life.
