Everyone please pray or send good energy or vibes for Donna. I just got off the phone with her and her spirits are really down, she was thinking that maybe the cancer is going to take her and that she wont make it out of the hospital. I talked with her for a while and she sounded a little better.

Come to find out there is a blockage/obstruction. She had to have her port taken out and she has to have surgery again. She said that the surgery will be within the week. She is pretty loopy on the meds so she couldnt explain everything.

I did get the mailing address and her room number:

[Content removed by CSN staff because of privacy issues. Only a member may share their own information. So sorry. I know this is well-meaning. Greta, Your CSN Staff.]

Please take the time to send her a card, like I said her spirits are low and really need some uplifting and lots of prayers and good energy.

I will call her again in a few days and get another update and keep everyone posted. IF anyone has any questions you would like for me to ask or rely, just let me know. I will make a list.

Thanks
Beth

PS, her CAT scan was clear!!!!

Questions?

So her CAT scan was clear? Meaning the cancer was gone?

Where is her blockage? Is it in her intestines again?

Yes

From what little I know it appears the the liver is clear, the blockage is in the small intestine. I will ask her about the scan question just to make sure I am putting out correct info...

Sorry to hear this

Donna, you are in my thoughts and prayers and I'm sending healing energy at 'cha.
I'm not sure if this is the same but I had a bowel obstruction about 2 months after my initial operation. It was a scary time. The good news (if you can say that) is that it's not uncommon for this to happen after surgery in the abdominal area. They had to do a do-over as kids would say and they were able to clear it up and I've no problems with that since. It's great that her CT scan was clear too.

I won the prize, too....

An all-expense (almost) ride thru the ER to a bed, to surgery (again...just was there 2 weeks earlier for my lumpectomy)...

I am sending my big vibes up for Donna...snail mail from Holland can take 2 weeks to arrive...sigh...I think they see a US address, and throw it in the corner...rofl!

Hugs, Kathi

Just Give Her Warm Wishes...

Hi, Beth

Thanks again for the recent update. That's a scary thing...I had a twisted bowel causing obstruction when I first got out of the hospital after my bowel resection too. I'm praying she will be just fine and will come through it with flying colors.

Please, just do me the favor I asked you about the other day...

Just tell her that Sundanceh/Craig from Texas, sends his warmest wishes for a speedy recovery to the "Cool Chicky." I think she'll get that one.

If you would do this for me, I would be very appreciative and I thank you in advance. You are a good friend and thanks for letting us all know how she's doing.

Donna

Beth, you are such a great person to keep us all informed! I am new to this site but already think the world of all of you. I have been so worried about Donna, checking all day since she went into the hospital to see if there was an update on her. This message is for Donna...Please hang on and keep your thoughts positive, with your scans being clear that is a miracle in itself! just think of the surgery as a stepping stone to get to NED and back to your life as a wife and Mom. I prayed for you and will continue to lift you up. You have an awesome spirit and everyone loves you, YOU ARE A FIGHTER!!!!! I can tell just through reading your posts. Hang on sweetheart! By the stripes on his back you are healed....I shall not die but live and proclaim what the Lord has done.

Hugsss back at you, Patti

Need address

Hi Beth,

I would like to send Donna a card and I see they removed the address. Could you PM the address to me when you have a minute.

Thanks so much - I am a caregiver and relatively new to the board. Donna was one of the first people to reach out to me. Please let her know she is in my prayers and I am sending all good thoughts and wishes her way.

Thanks,
Donna

I hope Donna gets well soon.

I hope Donna gets well soon. It is evident she is well loved by all the responses. I`ve never seen a discussion topic with this many of them. Tell Donna she is an inspiration. She may not feel like it right now but the cat scan proves that she is beating this thing. It will not over take her. She is beating this and the rest is just a temporary set back.

We all love you Donna.
Get well and get back into the fight,

Eric(:.)
