MinnieM3 (Beth) needs our prayers

[kejoda]

Prayers Beth. Just keep fighting.

 

[MinnieM3]

Thank you all.

I'm peeking out from under the covers just long enough to let ya'll know I just got off the phone with my onc. from Sloan-Kettering. (My reg. onc. is still in Ireland, but I'll see her Friday).

I tend to run on, but to state the obvious, she (the S-K onc) said this had turned into an aggressive cancer and the chemo pills were not effective.

So now we will be switching to IV chemo and possibly radiation. After my bone scan tomorrow, she wants me to have an abdomen and pelvis CT to do complete "re-staging" of the whole cancer thing, and a liver function test since my bilirubin was double. She was really surprised that my GP didn't have me in the hospital now. (me too)

I'm sure I will pout for awhile now and cry some more. Then get on with this thing and prove that I (and prayer) am stronger than it.

It does not look like it'll be an easy journey at this point. Probably have the whole hair falling out again.

I'm afraid I'll miss our big WDW in 2 weeks. I really do want them to go without me, because it's Kevin's 7th bday and he's so looking forward to it.

DS20 stopped by today. She has dyed her hair pink.

If Snappy (Laurie) doesn't mind, you can PM her for my home address. My e-mail is (amazingly!) MinnieM3@aol.com

I knkow it sounds trite, but it did me a WORLD of good to read these messages. I *will* fight and I *will* win. (even if I have to cheat by getting extra prayers than most people because I know a bunch of DIs freaks who love me!)

Keep on fighting! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Beth, lots of thoughts and prayers are still coming you way!

That is such sad and bad news for Beth. I hope they can figure out some sort of treatment for her. I hope the situation with her DD can somehow improve. She'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

You have a lot of people pulling for you! Your attitude is absolutely amazing and you are one awesome lady!

And how did you know I was a freak?

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

What terrible news!

Beth, I wish the best for you! Stay strong and know that everyone here is pulling for you!

 

[Byrd]

MinnieM3 as one South Carolina teacher to another, I KNOW you are strong and will beat this beast!


You were so kind last year giving updates on the storm so I didn't worry about my Citadel boy! You said they would send them home, and you were correct. Well, I really worried about all of the lowcountry area, but that's beside the point.

I just wanted to add my thoughts and prayers to everyones'. Stay strong and remember we are thinking of you often.

Oh, shoot........I wish Beth had better news. Hang in there, Beth. Keep the faith. I am praying for you.

Laura, thanks for the update.
