Clare, I will pray for you to feel better as quickly as possible. The other girls are right, keep thinking about treatment being over and you being well. You are such a strong fighter, I have no doubt you will overcome this obstacle. A big farmgirl hug to you! |

You are in my prayers, dear Clare. I can't imagine how tough it is for you, but you are constantly in my thoughts. I'm looking forward to getting my email buddy back! (((HUGS)))

Don't slack off now, Clare. You're a very, very strong woman. Just imagine all of us in a circle surrounding you, and let the doubts and anger stay outside.

Clare, I concur with everyone...hang in there, you are fighting this cancer and you ARE going to win. It's a formidable opponent, to be sure. My DH has a saying that when you are running a race, the hardest part of the race is the last part, where you sprint to the finish line.
I like Janice's analogy of imagining a circle of farmgirls around you, I am visualizing us all cheering and encouraging and pushing and dragging you if we have to, toward that finish line. No doubts or anger allowed indeed, just focus on the finish line, you're taking your last chemo today, and 5 radiation treatments, that's one for each finger plus thumb on one hand..so hang in there, and just let your body, the medications, your faith, and all our farmgirl hugs work their magic. I know you're tired, but that is to be expected right now; with your body doing all it can to kick this disease into remission or oblivion.
Rest, and understand that resting in order to allow your body to fight is not a waste of time right now. There will be time and energy later for the activities and obligations that you may feel are going undone right now.
Many hugs,
Jo

Hey, gal pal! As always, the farm gal sisters are right on target. Just keep on keeping on, when negative thoughts begin to creep in, force them out with thinking of something positive, some blessing, no matter how small. I pray for you, and all my farm sisters, nightly, and our combined sustained love and concern for each other is a mighty force indeed. Keep us informed when you can. Lots of love and hugs, Nance.
PS. I AM SO JEALOUS YOU ARE ENJOYING SNOW!!!!!! Make a snow angel for me. |

[purple]Ladies, you really come through for me. I guess the uncertainty was taking hold and forcing me to face some fears.
Today is better. Last night I cried and let loose and now those fears no longer have a hold on me. Today life is beautiful again. It is good to be here. I am getting the best possible, most current treatment from the medical community.
I have much to wait and see, but I am going to do my best to be positive, stimulate my immune system with lots of affirmations and visualizations and enjoy my family around me.
Thank you all so much for the hugs and warm words and prayers and pictures in my mind of a circle of farmgirls holding me. I can't tell you how much I needed all these posts from all of you.
THANK YOU!! /purple]

I am glad that your outlook today is better. I can't even imagine how hard it is to go through all the treatments and the worry but I can tell you that my dad went through a horrible surgery last year, chemo, and radiation. During the surgery and treatments his spirits were down and there were plenty of days that were really hard on him. He didn't share his emotions or fears much but we were all frightened for him. It is a year out now and he is okay. All I can say is keep your chin up. Take it one day at a time and don't think about what is yet to come, just think about the moment. It will get better and we are all here for you - to listen to you, to share in the happy and the sad moments. And this too shall pass and hopefully you will be able to start feeling like your old self again! -Elizabeth |

Clare, don't forget to LAUGH!!!! truly it will make you feel so much better.( something I learned after reading a sermon by Norman Vincent Peale.... truly laughter is the best medicine. So get yourself some really silly movies, some popcorn & soda and just kick back w/your kids to watch the silly movies. Cheerish each other & laugh till you get tears in your eyes or piddle in your knickers, which ever occurs first!. hugz,
