Dear Claudia, I just heard about your recurrence and I have been thinking about you and praying ever since. I have not been visiting the site very much the last few months so I have been out of the loop. I just want you to know that I have always been in awe of your strength, humor and wisdom. You are the first one to reach out to others and offer your comfort, caring, and advice. You now are in my heart and I am asking God to make this another part of your journey that you can beat, recover, and go back to your wonderful life with Reggie. You CAN do this. I will be thinking of you, Love Eileen

    Sweetest Eil~
    Thank you so
    Sweetest Eil~

    Thank you so much for this! I just came back from the hospital where I had a liver biopsy and fluid drained from my lung. The Drs and RNs could not have been nicer, more compassionate and professional. Believe it or not, neither procedure hurt at all!

    What I appreciated about the liver biopsy was that a pathologist was there during the procedure. I won't have the results until they are given to my oncologist,but having him there made sure that enough tissue was taken so that the procedure won't have to be repeated! Now that's a blessing!

    I hope you know how much your post has touched my heart...some days are hard for me to have my smiley face on, but your words gave me courage and made me feel safe and encouraged.

    Bless your heart for saying what you did; it couldn't have come at a better time.

    Hugs,
    Chen♥

    Dear Kindred Spirit...
    Yes, Eil wrote beautifully what we're all feeling. Can't add a word...

    Glad you're home, and that things went so well for you today. Am hoping, hoping, hoping for the best possible outcome.

    Kindest regards, with warmest hugs, 12/25 xo

    So glad your procedures went well
    Dear Claudia,
    Glad to hear that things went well during your procedures and you did not have to experience more pain. You are in my thoughts and you are an inspiration to all of us. You don't need to keep on a smiley face everyday ( what a burden that would be). No judgements here and lots of love.
    Hugs, K

    I hope all of you know that
    I hope all of you know that on the times when I am not waxing poetic here on the boards, that I am just sitting and basking in the glow of your kind, heartfelt words to me, and I smile....

    I love you all

    So glad you're smiling
    I know that you have brought countless smiles to countless pink warriors through the years you've been posting on these boards so you deserve to have at least some of those smiles returned to you, and it is truly our pleasure to be able to help you smile.

    Always,

    Dear Chen, Even tho I'm not
    Dear Chen, Even tho I'm not posting a lot lately because of my own health issues taking me away a lot, I want to let you know you're not far from my thoughts and prayers. As so many have said, you are such an inspiration and truly a part of each of our support system. Just wanted to let you know how much you're loved and we're all here for you anytime, day or night. Please lean on us as much as you want to. There are so many others too who cheer us on but you've been the chief cheerleader, and we appreciate you so much, our beautiful 50 ft. woman. Take care of yourself, treat yourself gently and keep letting us know what's going on with you.

    Thank you Sunrae! I know you
    Thank you Sunrae! I know you are fighting your own battle right now, and your road has not been easy. I was so happy to read that you were cleared for chemo~ hooray! Did you ask your Dr if eating beets was ok with him? I can't imagine they wouldn't be, but I am in the "always ask" camp!

    I am having a bit of difficulty standing 50' tall everyday; it is truly amazing that having all of you behind me, holding me up, is keeping me on course! I imagine I could do this without you, as you all could without me, but it is sooo much nicer to know we are connected with heart-strings.

    Hugs,
    Chen♥

    That beautifully described Claudia. I've only been here several months and so enjoy her amazing posts. You are a gifted writer Claudia and your words reach out to us all.

    I lift up my prayers to God for you and all those here every day for healing and blessings.

    Sending hugs your way.

    I still feel like a newbie
    I still feel like a newbie here even though it's three months since Donna's diagnosis, but Chen, you have given me great advice and support, and have helped me make it through some rough days.

    Thank you,

    Hugs and Prayers!!!

    We do what we HAVE to do, so we can do what we WANT to do!
    Again, I am humbled by every word all of my Kindred Spirits have written. I of course hope to be a healthy, NED dancing member of this family once more; giving and receiving fellow feeling and encouragement as often as I can.

    In the meanwhile, I hope you forgive me for not posting quite as often~I have appointments galore coupled with treatment, and also trying to pack in as much Life as I can before the inevitable exhaustion creeps in.

    To my long time sisters: You know how I feel about you and how much I am touched by your outpouring of goodness. And my new family members? That you have the time and compassion to write in the midst of your own beginning journey speaks volumes about your generous hearts. Thank you!

    Hugs,
    Chen

    Once again, you are leading the way and showing us
    what true Grace Under Pressure is all about. I think about you everyday and am hoping and praying this goes by quickly and you are once "dancing" with your beloved Reggie and of course our number one gentlemen in the dance department...NED.

    Hugs, Judy :-)
