Hi blueroses
I understand completely what you are saying. What would we do without our pets! I am so sorry that you are facing more procedures. I am sure that you are frustrated and anxious. I know I am when I am facing anything medical. I go for my PET scan next month and I am already anxious. If I lose a pound I think the cancer is back. But I have Emma at my side or snuggling my feet which helps so very much!
I am sorry that this is not much of a valentine's dy for you but know that we all love you and care! Unconditionally~just like our pets. I will say a special prayer for you to get you through the next procedures. Hugs, Pnktopaz10

Thanks Pink
Thanks for your supportive words, I truly appreciate them. I have put one of the surgeries on hold right now til I get my mind around all the procedures stacking up and may try to get the docs to do a couple of procedures while I am out but getting 2 specialists in one operating room on the same date will be tricky, we'll see. As I said none of the procedures are life threatening but anaestesia is not to be taken lightly so trying to get as many done as possible in one go. I am a big baby now so I always have to be knocked out so with so many coming up it's pretty confusing. I'm a wuss, I admit it. lol. Anywho thanks for your support. Take care and I hope your PET scan results come out far better than you hope. Blessings, Blueroses.

Our precious Pets
Hi Everyone,
I have been talking on the ovarian discussion board and decided to visit here. I too have two labs that keep my spirits up. What a blessing. I lost my husband over 3 years ago and have been fighting cancer 7 years. My wonderful dogs have helped me soooo much. I love all animals and am happy we have them for support. They seem to understand more then some people.
I hope you all have a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY and your pets will be with you a long time.
Prayers and hugs
Sandy

Hi Sandy,
Welcome to our threads here on Emotional Support and this one on Pets. I just wanted to wish you all the best in your battle with ovarian cancer. I am a 20 year survivor of NHL and the docs consider mine a cure so I am here to tell you that cancer can indeed be cured. Keep the faith, hold on to those pups and keep up the good fight. Blessings, Blueroses.

Thank you
Thanks Blue Rose and I am so happy your a 20 year survivor. I believe I had pre-existing conditions since 98 but the dr. in Florida disagreed with the pathologist when he did an untra sound. I am now in Indiana. But life goes on and I am doing fine. I have tiredness fatigue with the chemo but try to find things to do in chair or go thru pictures or talk to my dogs. I have had a count as high as 14000 but my tumors have been small. They have grown some but back on chemo Wed. I had wrote in the other site I will TRY and take 3 day mini vacations. I have the faith and maybe we will all be around when we are 90 or 100. Hee hee
Prayers and Hugs

No "hee hee" about it Sandy
With all the new research and new treatments coming forward so frequently we both can certainly be optimistically hopeful that we both will be around til we are 90 or 100. My Grandmother had the same NHL as I did but she had it when I was only 17 which was 22 years before my cancer hit. At that time there was little they could do for her NHL but 22 years later we had bone marrow transplants and stem cells and a lot inbetween. I'm glad you have your faith, that will keep you strong. All best in your treatments and you have the right idea, keep those mini vacations going - we all need little breaks like that no matter what the situation we are in with our cancer - they help to re energize us so that we can continue the fight. Fatigue is a common side effect of treatment as you probably well know, all this time later I still suffer from it in a big way, they feel it is chronic fatigue syndrome in my case but with so many other after effects of everything they can't ever know for sure. All the best Sandy. Blessings, Blueroses.

You're Right
Yes, Lets make our goal 100 years old. I stay tired too. But when I do get a break its not as bad. My chemo lowers my blood pressure so I don't have to take high blood pressure medicine more then half the time. I have to take pressure to know whether to take meds or not. I am 51 and most of the time my parents of 80 do more have more energy then me. But I plug along. Pray for our victory dance of a cure and ENERGY.
Prayers and Hugs
Sandy
