I am sorry to say that we have lost another sister in this fight with such a horrible disease. Dear MM passed away yesterday, as I was informed by her daugther today via email. My last communication with MM was after an emergency surgery that she had, and hardly survived. Her words were brief, but her spirit was still fighting. I am devastated beyond words.

Michaela Marie was so helpful to many of us, even though she hadn't been able to participate on this board much in the recent months. Please pray for her family. I know that the Lord has healed her and she is now in her Father's care. Luv to you all.

Monika

    thank you
    for sharing this news. I wondered what happened to her. Last post I remember she was so upset about a growth on her neck. Poor dear!!! I wish her family peace.

    I can hardly bear this. I
    I can hardly bear this. I used to trade LONG CSN emails with MM. Like me, she could really burn up a keyboard. We had a lot in common. And I'm devistated. I knew she was not doing well, but I refused to believe she was close to the end of her journey.

    I've been on here just over a year - just long enough to learn to love all of you, and marvel at your strength and wisdom and courage, then one by one, we've lost them....Bonnie, Linda, Terry, Saundra, and now, Michaela Marie.

    I think I need something to help me sleep. I don't usually resort to "sedatives", but this is just too much, especially with Elizabeth Edwards passing yesterday. God help us all.

    I know that He does,
    and ambien lends a hand too! I have been taking it for a couple years, and have no regrets. Always get a good night of sleep and wake up refreshed. I haven't felt the need for anti-d's or traqs, but I know that is always an option.... You gotta do what you gotta do to take care of yourself.

    Nancy....she was diagnosed
    Nancy....she was diagnosed in 2004 (I think) at stage IIIc. She had 5 tumors that she described as "fist-size". She told me several months ago that she had probably been in a state of denial for a long time.

    I don't know what the tumor on her neck turned out to be, or if it was involved in her latest remission. She told me once that she had likely never had a true remission. She CA125 started back up within just a few months of completing her first round of chemo.

    Thanks, Monika, for letting
    Thanks, Monika, for letting us know. It sure has been rough seeing our teal warriors gone from this world.

    Yes, she is in our Lord's hands now.

    my thoughts for her family
    my thoughts for her family and friends. This is so painful. It's the second one for me since being on this board. No more, please. Susan

    This is Hard
    Monika I know that it was very hard for you to post this. I didn't know Michaela but knowing that she was a teal sister and that her battle is now over it is very hard to take. It seems like so many are leaving us. I am praying for her family and I know that she is at peace. Bless all of you on this board.

    Thank you Monika for posting. I so remember this genuine lady. I am also heartbroken at so many of the ladies who supported me have gotten their wings. I know they are in such a beautiful place they would not want tears from us. But sometimes I cannot help it. I miss all the wisdom and comfort they gave so freely. May God watch over her family.and may she rest forever with the Peace that only God can give. Cindy
