    Marsha .. Gentle Hugs, Positive Thoughts and many
    prayers. Praying that your new chemo pill combo provides positive results for you! Stay strong dear WARRIORS, you are in our daily thoughts and prayers, dear Sister.

    Strength, Courage and Hope.

    Vicki Sam

    Marsha--you are on my list to receive
    tons of positive energy, good thoughts and prayers. Good news about the bones, but maybe the new drug combo can kick those liver mets into submission as well. Let's all imagine in our minds that as the new drug combo enters your body--boom--right to those spots just exploding them away.

    I know it get tedious trying to "stay strong" but take those days when you just can't, go with them, then pick yourself up, and start fighting again. We're all with you, Marsha. Get some strength from us.

    Hugs, Renee

    I thought
    you'd mentioned having a scan and was wondering about your results. I hope you've figured out many of us keep you in our thoughts and prayers daily. The results are discouraging, but I like what New Flower has to say about you and your doctor being smarter than the cancer.

    I send you lots of positive energy to help carry you forward till you're generating your own. And you will. It takes a while to process all this.

    Thinking of you,
    xoxo

    I am sending prayers for both you and your doctor that the new chemo will work. I really do know how hard it is to stay positive with this news and the apprehension when starting a whole new protocol.
    Sending you hugs, positive thoughts, and prayers that this combo will slow down the progression of this horrible disease.

    How are you doing Carol?

    You may not feel like swimming any fancy strokes right now, so just keep on dog-paddling until you get your second wind.

    So Sorry
    to hear this news. But you MUST keep positive.

    Just wanted to mention that if you haven't looked into TheraSphere Radiation therapy for your liver mets yet, you should. If you google TheraSphere Therapy, it will lead you to their website.

    Though it's not a "cure"...it has had promising results and could give you more time. There are several people I know from the Esophageal Cancer board that have had it and it made a huge difference in their quality and quantity of life.

    Blessings,
    Sally

    Dear Marsha
    Dear Marsha,
    I am very sorry that your medications stopped working, The good news you and your oncologist have developed a new plan and you will be able to start soon. Your doctor always has selected effective medications for you , hopefully this new treatments will be very effective. Cancer is very sneaky, but you and your doc much smarter and combat them.
    I always keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
    Sending you a big hug
    New Flower

    You keep staying positive
    You keep staying positive Marsha! I think that a lot of times, our attitude contributes so much to how we will do with any treatment.


    Lean on us when you need to, as, we all love you and are here for you anytime.

    Prayers for you,


    Kylez
