Dear Friends,

There are some of you that we have not had an update on for a little while and you know how we get.

I started an earlier thread listing a few, and with responses got a few more names and then Pepe asked that I start one that was more encompassing.

So here it is...please all...let us know how you are doing!

Hugs to each and every one of you.

Marie who loves kitties

    its a strange irony
    hi marie and pepe and all our friends

    I too wonder how our friends are going.
    I hope they are ok.
    Some friends leave us permanently like john .
    Hopefully others leave us when they need us less and the demands of tteatment and
    life take over.
    I thank god when the lucky ones live well.
    I am trying this myself.
    To simply be here is enough. Its a great gift we have each day.
    Love to our friends.

    Hi to all
    I had a wonderful time in Mexico(would have stayed if it wasn't for my stupid cancer:)), but came back with a horrible cold. Started 5-fu last Monday and I am just starting to feel like myself again. I've been mostly lurking as I do not feel well (still fighting my cold and 5-fu is really rough on me) and I am deeply sadden by our current losses:( I think of you all of you no less than once a day and thank all of you that have been wondering about me too. :)Melissa

    Hello
    Hello, haven't posted much. Things have been quiet since my hubby Roby finished radiation/chemo end of February. We go see his surgeon on Thursday, wants to do a colonoscopy next Wednesday before he does surgery. So we should know something next week about the surgery date.

    So everyone keep good thoughts and prayers for Roby.

    Have a great day!

    my update
    History: I was diagnosed only two months ago with stage IV bile duct cancer...I've had my sixth chemo session since then. Two weeks ago I had my first checkup ct scan which showed the tumors in my liver are smaller in size and mass...about 34% smaller :) Haven't had any major problems, just a little nausea once in awhile and some fatigue. It's kinda hard to get things done some days but I'm doing okay.

    I hang on the colorectal board because when I was first diagnosed with metastic cancer located in my liver, they thought it would be colon cancer, so this is the board I started out on and the rare cancer board is fairly inactive.

    Last week, I went to the Huntsman Cancer Center for a 2nd opinion (my original onc is very doomsdayish towards my future) and I'm still waiting for more news, but so far Huntsman told me that they think I was misdiagnosed with the BDC...they think it really is colon cancer! And they think my liver may be operable!!! I'm waiting for them to see my latest scan and get back to me and they're waiting for my medicaid to be approved to pay for treatment.

    I've really been struggling to stay positive attitude with BDC dx...many days I am so sad and hardly a minute passes that I'm not thinking about CANCER. It's been really hard these past few weeks, as I've been also feeling weak muscles and heart racing - had my regular doc look at blood tests and she confirmed I'm getting anemic so now I'm trying to take Bvitamin and iron to compensate...so I haven't done more than lurk here and I apologize for not replying to the PM's I've received.

    Here's my facebook, though I don't discuss cancer there: http://www.facebook.com/jvdavidge

    And for dinner tonight, I had filet mignon and M&M's....bwahahahaha!
