    Thank you for all the great
    Thank you for all the great advice! I'm going to check into my cancer center and local acs, thank you again. 2nd dose (monthly doses) down and I'm not feeling well, but I'm going in on Friday for more emetics, steroids, and fluids, in hopes to combat those horrible days (7-10). Thank you again for all your kind words, you have no idea how much it means to me to know you all are here:)
    Miles of Love,

    I am glad to know that you're going to check in to having someone with you from now on Kari. I hope that the emetics, steroids and fluids on Friday will get rid of your side effects & that you will start feeling better quickly.

    We are here, so, keep updating us as to how you are doing.


    Hugs, Diane

    I confess, Vicki you have me
    I confess, Vicki you have me all figured out, just the wrong day. My F&@K Cancer shirt was proudly worn all day yesterday, the day of my 3 year news break. I absolutely cannot believe I've been fighting this long. But here I sit, still typing, still plugging along and hoping I can pass on some of my experience, strength, and hope to those who might need it, after all, it was so freely given to me :-)

    Wow...20 hours at the top of
    Wow...20 hours at the top of pikes peak! I'm impressed, especially since the doxil is hard on you. Like you, I hope this is the one that will work.

    I've been doing the cancer thing for 2 years now...and I get it about friends and family wanting off the roller coaster too. I haven't done it yet, but have you considered the ACS reach to recovery or road to recovery programs? Or other similar programs? I know it's not the same as family and friends there for you, but you might develop a new close friendship...and even though we can't physically be there for you, you are in our hearts.

    As you know this is always a safe place to vent, so let it all out.

    Hugs,

    Linda

    It's always great to see you

    Kari...
    Wishing you better days...hopefully getting the fluids tomorrow will alleviate the nasty side effects....I, too, understand about disappearing friends....my family is very supportive....but friends? Different story....most have gone by the wayside...and actually I don't really care...the one's that are still around are true friends....

    Keep us posted....we can't be with you physically but know we carry you in our hearts...
