What a Granny ! I don't mind seeing her over again ! We should all be so happy !!

Glad treatments are progressing as planned ! As others have said..thinking of you and sending healing
thoughts your way..lending all the support I can from such a distance...keep up the great work !

I am with you too, Limbania. I hope the next treatment goes well and that it does its stuff without causing too many side effects. It's wonderful that you DMIL can be with you. I join Renata in her gratitude that you are so willing to share this experience. It's the reason we live in communities both virtual and real so that we can share all those things life brings our way. We aren't intended to travel life's path alone. Keep us posted. Love and care is being sent your way.

I can only repeat what everyone else has said -- my thoughts are with you and I hope that the rest of the treatments go well! I'm so glad you MIL is there to help you out and give you support! And thanks for the video. I'd seen it before, but it's a good one to see over and over again!

Nancy

I have to admit, I did wonder whether she would slid down the bannisters for a second there Still it is a great clip.

Same as the rest of group have said, hoping the side effects are kept to a minimum, and so pleased that your MIL is such a great support to you. Here's hoping that your kids are taking it ok too - must be very scarey for them to have such a changed and poorly mummy. Looking forward to the next virtual party - I might even remember to check up the location on google earth next time

I just got up, Limbania and I'm another one whose face you put a smile on!

You're over the hump with treatment at the half-way point and I hope this also means that things will get a little easier for you. You have been a source of inspiration throughout this journey and I am truly grateful that you have been so willing to share it with your friends here on the Forum. So glad your DMIL is there to help you. Hang in there, you can do this! Sending positive thoughts your way and always thinking of you!

Thank you Limbania, that put a smile on my face first thing this morning!

The very best of luck with the next treatment. If we could share the burden more we would but you must know that we are all sending you lots of thoughts of healing love.

My sentiments exactly Limbania. I hope everything goes smoothly with your next session and the side effects are kept to a minimum.

I also would like to be like that lady right now, never mind in years to come

I'd like to be like that now

You have so much to go through Limbania, thank goodness for DMIL. I do hope this treatment is not too traumatic for you and really hope you don't get the problems and side effects with the other and wish you lots of strength. This next treatment is a milestone and you'll have had half the treatments.

Keep smiling lovely lady

I'm sure it won't Rosemary! Glad you put it into words, if there was any chance of something like that happening, most of the times saying it out loud should stop it. I think this is just an unfortunate coincidence.

On a lighter note , I think this would put a big smile in your faces. I want to be like her when I get to that age! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP9b_91PHi8 Enjoy!!!

Thank you Maureen! I'll have 8 sessions total. One every 2 weeks. Number four is the last with two different drugs applied the same day but not mixed. Starting number 5 will be another drug, one only but the dripping is very slow, takes about five hours between blood test, medication to help with nausea and the chemo. Taxol is the name of the drug and because one of the side effects is peripheral neuropathy, tingling and numbness in the extremities, hands and feet particularly, it has to be applied very slowly trying to prevent that as much as possible. This of course besides all the other niceties (side effects) chemo causes.

DMIL will be staying 9 days, she'll be leaving on a Tuesday and DH will be arriving the following Friday on time for chemo #5. The first week after chemo it's been the hardest and she'll be here for that. Marty (DMIL) is a very caring, thoughtful and generous lady. I'm very lucky having her in my life.


Thank you all for caring and supporting me.

pray for all of you

Nancy, praying for your Mom, you and your family. It's great that you can be with her. Hugs.

I've been busy the past few days and I missed Nancy's post regarding her mother's condition. I am so sorry to hear this news Nancy. Take your time with the quilt. Your mother is so much more important.

Nancy,

I am so sorry to hear about your mother. Many hugs and prayers for you and your family.

Lorna
