Lita57

Not doing real well, sad to say. Rads to sacrum didn't do anything except make my right leg more numb.

Still battling fecal/anal incontinence. Haven’t given up the Depends and plastic pants. Have added North Shore Supply's large absorbent pads to my mattress. I was using the blue pads, but they're too small.

Brain mets coming back. Very dizzy, daily headaches, and i can't read or wrote for more,than 2 mins at a time. Everything gets REALLY blurry, and with an already sizeable blind spot, i can hardly see.

Thinking of you Lita. Glad you always find humor no matter what is happening. I will be thinking of you hoping the Rads work. Hugs

Hi Lita. I am assuming your furry pup is right next to you getting lots of attention and snacks right now from your loving hands. Our pets are so comforting. They just want our love, regardless if you are healthy or sick. Maybe he (or she) can take (that is, lick) your troubles away and make you laugh. Both of you could use the love and affection. Keep us informed. We are here for you.

Lita~I don't even know where to begin. You're an amazing woman. You're very loved...I wish I was a magician to make it all disappear, I hate the blind spot....I hate your painful numb leg hurting this way....I hate you have to deal with depends.....I hate cancer period. You're on everyone's mind and I am sending as much strength through the miles as possible. Much love ~M~

Lita I hear your voice and I feel your fear and pain. Though you are one of the strongest woman I have ever had the pleasure to know ( via computer😉). This disease keeps robbing us of who we are but you have fought this and are still the Lita we love and admire with humour love and inner strength you forge on . I think a lot about what my legacy will be, what will be left when wendy is gone and I've decided on being a happiness rod for all those around me when people even those I meet on the street complete strangers . You always spread joy and positivity now direct it to yourself. You are still here and are still breathing and with that there is always hope. I have read many accounts where folks have bounced back and I pray for this for you.

Big hug sorry Wendy tends to ramble lately.

Lita, sending love, strength and gentle hugs. You're always in my thoughts.

Dear Lita. Sending love and prayers & hugs. Mair

Sophia is so darling. Thanks for the post and the smile it brought me. Enjoy the game. I am watching figure skating.

Lita, I've been keeping tabs on you and am heartened by your practicality, strength and frankness. You are a wonder.

Thanks for the photo and the good news that you're making meatballs. (I love how Sophia almost blends in with all the folds of fabric!)

By your side,

Tina

Glad you are feeling able to cook. Many hugs and wishes of peace.

"I just woke up from my nap, and I smell meatballs!"

I used "Chef John's Italian Meatball" recipe from allrecipes.com. Very easy. Didn’t even have to fry them in a pan...just bake in a 400 degree oven until browned (20 mins) and drop them into prepared sauce and simmer for an hour. Very easy. Recipe makes 30 balls, so plenty for leftovers.

Of course, my back and leg are killing me now. DH is washing the dishes, bless his heart.

Sofia looks ready to pull up a seat for meatballs! So glad you had a good day! Thinking of you always,

Claudia

Starting Gemzar on Wed. SEs include flu like symptoms and diarrhea and vomiting...yippee. I'll be 3 wks on and 1 wk off. MO minimized the se's, but i know better. I get diarrhea from everything.

Doubling down on depends and plastic pants for sure.

Sofia was dreaming of meatballs and happy to know they were real.
