Hi, ladies. I am so happy to see this new page on the message board. I love that we have a spot to share and pray for each other. I can't thank you enough for all the prayers you give for me. I need them and appreciate them so very much.
I am going through the treatment now. The plan is to have 28 days of regular radiation with weekly chemo to make it more effective. I am halfway through now.
The update is that they hope to add 5 more radiation days on just the tumor. This will add another chemo treatment as well.
So, I need prayers to keep my health up. My bloodwork is starting to show effects of the combined treatment. I am doing my best to eat well and keep my weight as stable as possibel, but I have lost some. SO, I just need prayers to keep up and be as well as I can and just encouragement as the tougher half starts.
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I just want to thank all of you for your kindness, support and prayers. It has made all the difference in the world to me.

Thank you for all the prayers. I saw my regular medical oncologist today, and we are on the same wavelength. She is checking my iron before ordering a shot to help stimulate the bone marrow. I was glad we are thinking the same. I did not want to get too low and need a transfusion. She says it is still a possibility because of the radiation location, but we are going to try this first. I really feel like she cares about me and wants me to be well and do well with the treatment. That in itself is so encouraging.
On another lighter note, we had our second snowstorm today. the kids had a snow day from school and were planning on sledding. How cool is that? A snow day in Nov, before Thanksgiving no less!

Hi, ladies. I have five more treatments for radiation, last chemo as well tomorrow.
Just looking for some encouragement. It has been a harder journey than I could imagine with fatigue and wondering how it will all turn out left to me. Time to heal and yet I am so MAD about the lack of true info on how this effects you physically and emotionally. And just so tired. Another shot to stimulate the bone marrow tomorrow, another one two more weeks after that with the possibility of more until my body starts to heal and start up again. It's a long journey with a long wait for info on how it all "works out".
Just looking for some hugs out here today.

Hey! It is really good to hear from you! BIG HUGS. I understand the anger and the playing down of true info about just how awful this is to go through. MORE HUGS. I'm here if you just need to email, but having been through this with my dad I know how exhausted you are. We are all here for you and you are in many prayers.
Wishing you joy in small things and peace in your heart

I've been told it gets harder as the treatments progress, Clare. I believe with all my heart you can do this, however. Don't look at the side effects to come, but at the end goal as much as possible. And I'm sending gentle hugs... lots and lots of them. Meanwhile, you are in my prayers every day. Love,
Ann
