    Praying that this week
    will be a different story. I cannot believe what I just read. My heart hurts! You are a special person. One that I have looked up to since becoming a part of the Pink Sister Family.

    You know ... your family is unbelievably strong too. They are always right there with you. And they should be. Kat, dear. They love you. And they want to help in any way they can.

    I wish you didn't feel that you are a burden to them. You are a blessing to them as they are a blessing to you. Why this is happening ... Gosh ... I wish I had that answer. All I know is that it is totally unfair.

    My stomach churns and I feel like I will vomit as I write this. My daughters are 26 and 22. I really love them but when I hear of someone as young as they are not having the freedom to enjoy life the way they should, I pull them closer and just don't let go.

    I have prayed for you since first coming on this board. I will continue to pray for you and your family. I believe in God and the power of prayer. I believe, too, that looking into palliative care is a good ... a very good idea. Please think about this Kat.

    If I could hug you in person, I would. If I could give you parents a hug, I would. If I could take away your pain and disease, I would.

    Please know I love you like a daughter. You mean so very much to me and all of the pink sisters here.

    God Bless You Dear Kat <3

    xoxo

    It seems that I really don't
    It seems that I really don't even have the words to write how very sorry I am Kat. You are such a sweet,young girl that should not be even thinking about what you've written, let alone living it. My prayers are headed your way Kat!

    I have never known a hero like you!
    So young, so much pain and so much courage. Other than to say, "I love you dear heart," I am speechless. I will continue to pray for you on this journey. Hugs and hope.

    Most of us are Mothers
    and some have daughters your age. I do. I just want all this to go away from you. My heart breaks for you and your parents. You have many praying for a miracle.

    This cancer has tested your strength and endurance in every way and although you may not feel it at times, you have won! These bodies do not last forever, but the Spirit remains and I believe it is eternal with the Lord, free from pain.

    Post as long as you feel up to it. We want to hear from you.

    Sending my love, hugs and prayers dear girl.

    It is hard to not think of
    It is hard to not think of you Kat and I've been doing that a lot lately. Also lots and lots of prayers. Please post again so we know how you are.

    I am so sorry for your pain
    Kat,

    You must be so scared as well as in pain. I am a mother of a 17 year old girl and I would give up all my time to spend with her and make her as comfortable as possible. You can rest assured that you are not a burden to your parents. They cleaned up your vomit and changed diapers for you when you were younger, it is nothing new to them. No one loves doing that but it's got to be done.

    I am so sorry that you are going through all of this especially as you are so young. You seem like a very mature young woman and are handling things as well as anyone in your position would. Remember that we are all here for you whenever you need us. We just wish we could do more to help you. I will keep you in my prayers. Take care.

    Hugs, Helen

    I, like any Mother, would do
    I, like any Mother, would do anything to take away any pain my child is having. Your parents love you Kat and have and will do whatever it takes to help you. Let them do it as I bet it makes them feel better. I wish there was no need for it thought.

    I am praying for you and hoping for a miracle!


    Lots of hugs for you Kat,

    I have never met you but i have grown to love you. You are an inspiration to all women, young and old. I wish with everything that i have you did not have to suffer so much. I hope by the time i write this, you will have recovered from the flu. Just wanted you to know how much you are loved by all the ladies on this site.

    Oh Dear Kat You are Amazing!!
    If ever I feel the need to feel sorry for myself, I just look at your strength and it inspires me to no end. You are absolutely amazing and I'm SO SO sad that you have to do this and at such a young age. My daughter is 23 and I can't imagine what it would be like, but one thing I do know, a mothers love runs deeper than the ocean, and for never ending miles. As I was reading your post I wanted to climb through the screen and give you a big hug, gentle squeeze that is. My Mom passed away in 07 of lung cancer, I can't tell you how many times I've cried out to her, wishing she were here to hold me and tell me it'll all be ok. I'm sure your Mom wouldn't want to be anywhere else than by your side, as painful as it is to see your babies sick, it's also very humbling and it reminds us of how thankful we need to be for the opportunity to help and make dear Kat feel better. You are ALWAYS in my prayers and I'll pray a little harder for you hoping that you find peace and comfort, and freedom from pain. I'm agreeing with CypressCynthia, and I want you to know that I've recently turned over to Hospice/Palliative care. If you have any questions or want to talk with me about it, Im here just PM me, I'll give you my # if you'd rather talk over the phone. As for now, I'm very happy with hospice, I'm at home, and they are available ALL the time. I feel like this has taken some of the weight off my family/friends. I know they love helping me, but I hate seeing the pain my cancer causes them, just like you, cancer sucks!!! Please take care sweetheart, and you get on here all you want please come rant on and on, we love you!!
    Miles of Love,

    Thank you
    Kat, thank you for taking some precious time to update us on your condition. We all think about you and worry for you. I am so so sorry that you have had to deal with this incredibly difficult time. Despite what you are going through, you emanate poise, grace and elegance. You are strong and inspiring. Life isn't fair, and you have had more than your share of troubles to put it lightly. Every feeling you are having is justified and normal. My thoughts and heart is with you and I hope that you find a modicum of peace in this battle.

    Peace,
    Clementine

    You are always on my mind
    Kat,

    your amazing spirit even manages to shine through a hard
    posting such as this. I was in tears by the time I got through
    reading. Age is not a sondition for cancer but you taught us
    neither is courage and grace. At your young age, you have taught
    me so much. You are my heroine and nothing can change that. When
    ever things get tough I think of you and your never faltering spirit.
    I don't think, you need to worry about being a burden to anyone,
    especially not your parents. Because in my opinion, you are a gift,
    nothing but a very precious gift.

    Hugs,
    Ayse
