    Dang... I HATE cancer
    Debbie,

    I am so sorry to read this news. And I can only hope that your new
    chemo will work and make those tumors disappear. It sounds to me like
    your calendar is full and there's no room for cancer. Every day that
    passes I hope, it will be the day that we will join in celebration
    that a cure was found. And I will never give up on that hope.

    You have been so brave and took everything with such courage and grace,
    for you to get angry takes a lot. And this is your child's wedding we
    are talking about, so I can understand that you show your teeth.

    You have all my good vibes and above all you have my caring thoughts.

    Hugs,
    Ayse

    Thanks, again, ladies. I really am accepting the situation once again. I think what happens with me is I am so hopeful (as we all are) for the words from my onc "the tumors are gone", that when I get the exact different results, I get angry and feel totally out of control. Well, I do know that Stage IV means continuous treatment. I am still able to work, Jazzercise, spend quality time with my family and I am thankful for that. There are many, many people in this world that are much worse off than me. Thanks for your encouragement and helping me see the positive things out there....my beautiful daughter's wedding!! Can't wait. Have a wonderful weekend ladies!

    I often hated hearing the words "you're so strong"...
    ...but in this case, I just have to say them, because I'm still just in awe of how physically strong you are in the face of months and months of chemo. Working AND Jazzercise? I can't even make it through a Jazzercise class on my best day!

    (unless you count my sitting on the floor in the back eating M&Ms, while you jazzercise your little brains out, shouting "Go Debbie, woo-hoo!" I'm there for you, girl. :-)

    When do you start the Eribulin? Please keep us posted on how you're doing -- and when I need to break out the Jazzercise pom-poms.

    :-) Traci

    Encouragement
    Hi, Debbie,

    Unfortunately, I don't have any advice, but I would like to add words of encouragement. You have given words of wisdom and strength to many. After you take time to (rightfully so) be pissed off, know that the same wisdom and strength that you have passed on to others will lift you up and provide you with strength.

    Hoping and praying for you,

    Thinking of you
    Dear Debbie,

    I hope your treatment went off with no awful side effects. I have been thinking positive thoughts for you that this new treatment will be doable.

    We do learn to adjust to "what is" and go from there. I don't expect to ever hear again that the tumors are all gone, I have to many. I do love the word "Stable" though and that is my aim, "stable".

    It is good to continue to have a normal life, work, do the things one likes to do and keep cancer in it's proper place, at the bottom of the list.

    You have a beautiful daughter's wedding to plan and that is tops!

    This is a beautiful time of year in Florida, so may you have a wonderful, enjoyable weekend.

    Best,

    Doris

    Hi Ginny,

    You are doing very well and I wish you many, many more years too. I have been stage IV for many, many years too.

    Also no advice, but
    I'm here for support and cyber hugs. I'm stage IV too, and it can really get you down. I'm positive most days, but every now and then, I have a pity party for a few minutes (hours). We are all here for you!

    Hugs,
