Ulla posted on the October Chemo girls thread earlier today. She's still feeling pretty depressed--poor thing. I wish her doc could find an anti-depressant that works for her. She's having such a rough time.
We love you, Ulla! You are beautiful inside and out and you WILL get through this bc nightmare!!
Hugs,
Karen
PS Lisa!!!!! Where are you, girl? Aunty Em and Sue are going to whomp your butt if you don't check in soon!

That's TOO funny, Poppy! Tell him that the hat looks great on him. Wait, that will probably make him mad again, won't it?? Well, I think he looks very adorable in it.
I don't know, Valerie. I could just about pass as his twin sister. Thanks for not agreeing with me

Hugs,
Karen

Oh Ulla , I'm so sorry you are feeling bad. Tomorrow's tx I'm sure has got you feeling down. I want you to know we are always here. Tonight we will have a big group hug just for you Ulla. You are in the center of our circle. And I will pray , Dear Father in Heaven please hold Ulla in the palm of your hands , and keep her safe and calm her fears and anxieties. Please hold her up through her tx. Please ease her SEs. May she please feel all the love and positive thoughts we her sisters have for her. Please Father , give Ulla and her Husband all the courage they need to get through this. I asked this in Jesus Name. Thanks be to God. Amen.
Ulla , God the Father has you in His Hands. We have you in our hearts. Please come here when you feel you can.xxxx Melody
-
Ulla , I just read your last post. I need to ask you , is there anyway you can tell your family? I really think this would help you soooo much. I'm sure they would want to know. If it was my sister , niece , mom , I certainly would want to know. Do you think you could tell them?xxxx
-
Ulla...you have every single reason to cry ..... you have lost so much in such a short space of time.You have been on your own without your hubby for a few days and become a little isolated and thought processing.The crying is a release of grief...sadness ...anger....you are where you should be emotionally...you just might need something a little stronger medical wise short term....
Ulla I lost my daughter just before her first birthday...she was Daniels twin sister...she had a near miss cot death and I witnessed a horrific year with her brain dying away....I like you grieved and grieved....when time passes we learn to live with things...things like this can be very tiring to live with....eventually all these things will have a place in your heart and you will learn to live again....you are just overloaded with pain....everything you feel is natural...and you will heal....and you will live .....we are here to hold you .....and give you as much love.....
You are very brave not to upset your mum....take strength from this Ulla..you are a wonderful daughter...and we will support you as a sister in order that your mum will be saved worry...YOU HAVENT LET ANYONE DOWN....maybe you might tell her a little later when chemo is ended xx
I KNOW AND I UNDERSTAND XXX
Ulla we all understand. I have friends a o/h, family ...my dad...they all know...but it is only the understanding on here that keeps me going ..... xxx
-
Ulla, you have every right to be sad. You've lost SO much. More than most of us. I didn't lose my breast or a baby. I feel badly for having cancer at 43. I can't imagine how it would have effected me 10 years ago. This disease is a horrible slap in the face. It takes your innocence and I, for one, will probably never feel secure and totally carefree again.
I admire you for the way you're protecting your loved ones. It must be so incredibly difficult to talk to them on the phone and put on a "happy" show. You're not a bad person for doing this. You're a very selfless and loving person. You don't want to worry them--and it's making this even harder on you because you really have no one to talk to. You're living in a strange country, surrounded by strangers, not understanding the language--all this during the most difficult time in your life. Yes, I think you have a right to be depressed.
I still can't believe that you'll never be a mother. There are so many ladies out there just like you, who have gone on to have children. I had my son at 38. Will you be taking Tamoxifen for five years? That will make you 39. You can still have a baby at 39! Have you asked your onc about this specifically? I just refuse to believe that you won't be able to have a baby when all your tx's are completed.
Hang in there Ulla! We love you and we pray for you. God listens!! You are going to be fine. If anything, you'll be a stronger and more sympathetic and empathetic person.
