Dis Breast Cancer Survivors Part III - GAGWTA!

[Sha]

Of course Linda!!

and thank you! My mom wants to go to JRs on Saturday night... to distract her

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

GAGWTA, Ladies!

Sha, I am so sorry! I hope you hear back from the docs and can get your mom in soon!

Maryann, thinking of you! I hope your surgery went well!

Linda, more good thoughts coming your way!

 

[snappy]

Sha, I thought I posted last night but I must have bungled it.

I hope the trip does get both of your minds off the diagnosis for a few hours. I know you both enjoy it so.

It must be even harder to face this when you have already walked the road before, and again I mean both of you. Your mom is a fighter and with you by her side, well two are better than one to say the least.

 

[snappy]

Linda, thanks for updating us. I hope your daughter continues to improve, however long it takes, I know she will be getting the best care possible.

Please know we are with you at the hospital in spirit. I wish I could whip up a batch of something and bring it up to you.

Can we do anything?

 

[Candy30]

Sha- I am sorry to hear that it is cancer. I know you both need WDW this weekend. Enjoy it and we will be praying for you.

PNM- Lot of prayers for your daughter and you too!

Honu and Anna Rae-

Snappy-Always sweet and ready to help. You've got a wonderful heart.

LMP- Hope you are recouping well. Can't wait to hear all about it in the way that only you could tell it. We miss ya.

Jacks- I know what you mean about schedules. My son works at a firehall, volunteers at the Humane Society and takes Aikido classes. I couldn't fanthom anymore activities. That is a full enough schedule.

 

[CherylDan]

Linda, I just read about your daughter on your other post . No harm in sending out extra prayers and hugs on this thread too! Please let us know how she is doing when you get a chance.

Sha, sorry to hear about your mom. Hopefully you wont have to play the game of hurry up and wait for too long. Have a good time at WDW, sounds like perfect timing for a trip.

LMP, I hope your surgery went well and wish you a speedy recovery.

How's everybody else doing today?

I'm rather bummed that Chicago is not getting the Olympics. Oh well.

GAGWTA!!!

Saw this the other day.....got a kick out of it. It was available as either a t-shirt, hoodie, or mouse pad. I think I'm going to order a hoodie!

 

[NHAnn]

My what a week here!

Hoping for a good update on LMP soon.

Linda..that has got to be the most heartwrenching fear Prayers for her and you too, all of you. Sending you a PM....I am only an hour from Boston you know.

Sha...gotta say I shed a tear at the news, and thought as Laurie did how hard it must be for you both.

GAGWTA.............and a boatload of prayers and pixie dust !


P.S. I am missing Laurabelle here

 

[Pea-n-Me]

I am too tired to write more right now, but just want to say thank you.

~~~***GAGWTA sistas***~~~

Linda- How awful and scary! I'm glad you have such a good and helpful friend. It's amazing what a difference it makes to have a surrogate pup to hug. Praying your dd is healing well and will be home soon.

Maryann- Praying for you sista...

Sha- I'm so, so sorry to read this news about your mom. Prayers going up on her behalf as well.

I'm having a pretty rough patch...but I don't want to bog down this BC thread with it.

Thinking of you all...

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Laura, I've been thinking of you all week with this. Your ulcerative colitis must have been so painful for all these years. I think of you all the time and hope that you're doing ok. You are in my prayers. We'll be here when and if you want to talk.

 

[snappy]

Laura, we miss you here so. We understand if it is not the time for you to post here, but believe me we welcome you when you are ready. You certainly would never bog anything down.

We would not even have the thread than binds us together if not for you and Linda. The thread is a gift I give thanks for daily as well.

I was sorry to have to cancel my trip. I hope you were able to go (was it your Dh's birthday?)

Linda, how very like you to post such lovely words to Laura after what your family has been through this week.

I hope your DD is improving and that you get some rest!!!

Check your pms!

 

[NHAnn]

Laura, we miss you here so. We understand if it is not the time for you to post here, but believe me we welcome you when you are ready. You certainly would never bog anything down.

such true words, my feelings exactly.
I'm feeling that you both have always been so helpful and supportive in so many ways for so many years here....just wishing there was something I could do in addition to sending heartfelt prayers.

GAGWTA!!

Glad you posted, LMP, I have been worried about you. I am sorry about the pain. It sound like you have been through quite the ordeal, again. I Just hope this surgery will be the one that makes the difference and gets you on the path to recovery.

I don't think you should go home until they manage your pain. Getting home will be excruciating if you start off hurting this much.

Thinking of and praying for you all.

Will you continue prayers for my DD? http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2299037&referrerid=70088

Sorry I have been out of touch! I am sending my prayers to you!

 

[Sha]

Thanks ladies... thinking of you all. Had Disney kept the Walk here this weekend, I wouldve been doing that today. Just to let you know you are all in my thoughts and prayers....

Mom is doing okay. We went to JRs last night and she went along. She said she thought there would be brass instruments and noisier. She said she really liked it and thought they were quite talented!

Course, this weekend is mixed emotion... knowing what we know (little at this time) and celebrating birthdays... keeping that "just keep swimming" mantra in my head.

Thanks again! I will keep you all posted when we hopefully get visits this week to the MDs we need to see.

 

[CherylDan]

Laura, good to see you. So sorry to hear that you are going through a tough time right now. Take care of yourself, I hope things start looking up real soon.

Anyone have any updates on Linda's daughter?

LMP, how's it going? Are you home yet?

Sha, how was your trip? How's your mom holding up?

DH & I celebrated our 28th anniversary this weekend. Wow....I don't know where 28 years went!?! We got married when I was 19 and he was 20, so we "grew up" together, so to speak! Anyway, we are still best friends, and I'm really grateful for that! And next week will already be one year since DD25 was married. Seriously, I just don't know where the time goes anymore. Even my *baby* is already 20. Jeepers! Maybe I'm not as young as I used to be!

GAGWAT!!!

Hey LMP, I hope you're doing better. Here's to hoping you're out of the hospital and home soon.

Pea-N-Me, I hope your daughter is doing better.

Sha, I hope things go well for you guys this week.

As for me, I'm hanging on by a thread. I'm really depressed. I haven't felt like this since my grandma died. It feels like there's a big empty hole in me. It feels like the evil is winning.

To top it all off, I now am on light exercise because I took Cipro for an infection, which really shouldn't be taken by someone like me, and now we're afraid I'm close to blowing out my tendons, especially my Achilles if I go too crazy. I have all the signs that it might happen. Every time I get close to being able to do something, anything I love, the evil demons come along and spoil it.

In my heart I know I have to take it day by day and it'll get better eventually (maybe...), but in the interim, it really sucks.

Mom is doing okay... she is just waiting to find out when appts are set. She hasn't said too much. She needs to call her MD about something and I am hoping that she will ask for a copy of the report. I want to go back and see if this is a different type of Breast Ca. from last time. I am hoping that Tues and Wed. for her appts. because those are the days I have more flexibility with my work day. She has talked a little of chemo this time. I watch for her to bring things up and when she does, she says she doesnt know what she thinks.

We had a good weekend. Mom really enjoyed it. We are inviting them again in December to stay at BLT. I guess that is a new goal....
