Breast Cancer Scare - Pixie Dust and Prayers please*** Updated*** news not good

[wdw4us]

I know there has been a lot of sad news here lately but I could use some prayers. My co workers - 4 of us have been going to WDW in October for the past 2 years. 4 girls who shop, eat, and enjoy the parks. Not husbands, no kids. What a blast we have!

One of my fellow Disney Chicks has been having a bit of worry. She found a lump on her breast a few weeks ago. She went for a biopsy on Monday and finally got a hold of a nurse last night. Dr. was in surgery all day yesterday.

Nurse said – Dr. wants to see you – we all are thinking the worst. At 4:15 today could you keep my friend Karen in your thoughts amd prayers.

We’re scheduled to go back to WDW in early October – just the four of us but we may postpone. None of us cares about that now, we want our friend to be OK.

Thanks

***She emailed me from home. She has breast cancer and it's the fast growing kind. She will have a masectomy and chemo. We are devasted by the news. This girl is the picture of health, a single mom of a 15yo. She works out, runs in 5K races, eats the best diet. I have sat at my desk and cried for my fellow Disney Chick.

She has a wonderful large family a GREAT boyfriend. If support means something, she will come through this with flying colors.

Thanks for all your prayers and concerns.

I'll keep your friend in my prayers.

I had the same scare this year too, (the doctor wanted to see me back ASAP) it was benign!....I hope that the results are the same for your friend and you all get to go on your trip and have a GREAT time.
I'll be waiting for an update.

Support, and an excellent mental attitude, are both most helpful to a recovery, Denise. My prayers will continue for your friend, Karen, along with all those who are similarly hurting. {{Hugs}}

Denise, I am sorry you friend is going through this. I'm glad she's got family and friends that care about her though.
Prayers and pixie dust are on the way for her, and you too.

:( I'm so sorry.:( I've heard most of the time it's not how you take care of yourself, it's the genetics (that bothers me, my paternal g'mother had breast cancer).

{{hugs}} to your fellow Disney Chick. Please keep us updated.

Sending prayers to her. What a great friend she has in you!! Hang in there Denise!

[CRB#33]

Yuck:( This is one stinker of a disease. Your friend and her family will be in my prayers.

Don't cancel your trip yet--it may be just what she needs.

You are a terrific friend.

[nativetxn]

Oh sweetie :( I'm so sorry. I have your friend in my prayers.

[helenabear]

I am so sorry to hear this :( I will certainly keep your friend in my thoughts and prayers. Support, love and prayer certainly does help. I will think the best for her. {{{hugs}}} to you all.

[kejoda]

My prayers are with everyone affected by this. A great attitude will do wonders though. They gave my Mom 2 weeks when hers was discovered. She lived 4 and 1/2 years. Plan a trip to Disney to give her something to look forward too. Keep us updated

{{{Hugs}}}.

[NHAnn]

I'm sorry to hear this, and will keep her in my thoughts. It's great for her as a single mom that she has you "disney Chicks" to support her and help keep her positive attitude. I agree with those who say to plan a trip...around her treatment schedule...to keep her focused on her future.

[Kama89]

I am so sorry Denise. :( Prayer, friend and family support and a positive outlook can do amazing things... I know that many of us here will be holding your friend up in prayer. God Bless.

[Amy]

Oh Denise, I'll keep your friend in my prayers. I was devastated with a diagnosis of breast cancer this past February - had a lumpectomy, chemo and I'm almost done with radiation. It's been a long six months, no vacation for us, either. If your friend needs a shoulder, get her on the DIS and have her send me a pm; I'll be thinking of her.

[ead79]

Denise, your friend Karen is in my prayers. I'm sure the support of her friends and family will help her tremendously. I'm so sorry to hear that she has cancer.

[Planogirl]

I am continually amazed at how this monster seems to strike people seemingly at random and with such brutality. I'm so sorry for your friend and pray that she comes through this as quickly as possible. {{{{Hugs}}}}

[Felicia]

Your friend Karen is in my prayers tonight. Breast cancer doesn't care how well you take care of yourself, or what color you are, or if you're fat or skinny, short or tall, or if you have a family history or not. Sadly, it can happen to anyone.

Karen has a tough battle ahead of her, but with family and friends and a positive attitude, she will do fine.

[JasonLyons]

cancer is so scary, i will pray

[Tiger Fan]

Prayers are on the way.

Lisa

[MerryPoppins]

She'll be in my prayers. I'd be glad to be part of her support team. Positive attitude can make all the difference.

I also had the aggressive form of breast cancer, but we caught it really early. I'm nearing my 1 year mark!

[Dan Murphy]

I find it amazing how many folks here just on this one page here have been touched by breast cancer. My prayers and {hugs} for all you survivors here.

{{Hugs}}

[wdw4us]

Thank you everyone! We'll all be there for her. You are all wonderful people to pray for my friend. You never met her or me and yet you care.

I appreciate it.
