    options
    sorry to hear the scans weren't all you were hoping for -- but I'm delighted that you have been presented with OPTIONS -- and that your onc seems so upbeat -- and what you are wanting/needing. Enjoy the chemo break! We all need 'em.....And my philosophy is: so long as there are still options out there, there is still hope.....

    Lots of love,
    Tara

    You Deserve A Break!
    Oh, Donna, I am so sorry to hear the chemo isn't working for you right now, but I know that one of the other options will be just what the doctor ordered. You are such an inspiration to everyone on this board and you need to know so many are pulling for your and saying prayers. Keep us updated and it sounds like you and your oncologist are right on track. I am thrilled your new oncologist is so proactive! Keep up your spirits.

    Hugs and Healing,
    Priscilla

    Can't tell you how sorry I am to hear of your latest scan results. However, I'm glad that you have other options available to you. I know you will kick some butt, and really enjoy your vacation from chemo. no mo chemo no mo chemo (nice chant, eh) Stay positive and keep us informed as to what you're doing on your vacation.

    Dangit Donna....
    I am so truly sorry for your news. Like everyone else, I'm so glad you have an onc that will give you more options than the last one. You girl, have ALWAYS been such an inspiration to me. You're a fighter and I knew that the first post I read of yours. You keep that attitude and that spirit. Good luck with the Sir spheres. I'm sure they're gonna do wonders for you!!

    Love and Hugs,

    Holly

    My Friend
    I so hate to hear this news, but I am confident that your ONC has a plan and one that will work. There arent words to describe how wonderful I think you are, such a wonderful mom, a great person and someone I am honored to be a friend of. I HATE cancer, I hate what it does to all of us, knowing it causes so much pain to so many.

    Please enjoy the break from chemo, hope you feel well enough to get to go out and enjoy things, how are the kids enjoying the summer?

    Please know I am always thinking and praying for you. Stay Strong my friend...

    HUGS

    damn cancer! You are such an inspiration. I'm sorry that the folfox wasn't working. But...hoping that the spheres will help. (I've heard about SIR Spheres but don't really know how it works.) Also, whatever clinical trial you're oncologist has for you.
    Holding you in the Light for hope, healing, and strength.

    Enjoy the break
    Donna,

    I'm really bummed to hear the chemo isn't working for you. But so glad to hear that you have other options for treatment. Having an oncologist that is in your corner really makes a difference. My oncologist has been nothing but supportive and encouraging, that really helps when things don't seem to be going well. I will be praying for you and good vibes are headed your way.

    Hey Donna
    Enjoy your chemo break and I am hoping that the clinical trial works its stuff for you. I remember when you first came on the board and how this cancer stuff was just so overwhelming and now, you roll with the punches like a pro (not that we like those punches mind you). You continue to be an inspiration for me, and I'm sure for all those around you. Here's a bug cyber hug for ya!

    all the best, Leslie

    Bad news, good news
    I'm so sorry to hear FOLFOX isn't working. But it is great you've found an oncologist you like that has new options for you. After so much chemo, it is good that you have options other than chemo to try. Enjoy your break from chemo - while it is bad news that it wasn't working, it is good news that you get a break before starting something else. It wears everyone down after a while. Now you'll have a chance to get your strength back up to get in and fight with a different tool, whatever you and your doctor decicd to try next.

    I continue to be amazed at your strong positve attitude and spirit!

    Good luck!
    Enjoy the chemo break and good luck with your dose of "little magic beads!" I have mine almost five years ago. I know how scary it is when one chemo starts working and the next step isn't clear, but with a break, and listening to all of those here that are supportint you another step will soon materialize.

    Thinking of you and sending lots of positive vibes!

    I wish you all the best and will send prayers
    Donna, I have not been on line for quite some time, you came on line when I wasr done with chemo and trying to deal with the aftermath. All your post's I have seen have been so brave and optimistic, I really admire your spirit. My prayers are going your way.
