    This just isn't fair Meena

    You are our sister in pink and we want to know exactly how you are doing.

    Please know I am praying for you!

    Meena,
    I agree with everyone
    Meena,
    I agree with everyone that said you should always feel free to post, the good, the bad and the ugly. That's why we are here. We are the ears that will listen, the voice that will give you advise, love, strength and prayers, the heart that will give you love, the cyber arms that will hold you and hug you and stroke your hair and whisper prayers. I will hold you in my heart and my arms and prayers.

    HI Meena
    Hi Meena. I don't post here very often, but I have a good friend who finished up treatment for BC a year or so ago and I sometimes come here. I feel like an interloper, hope nobody minds... Your story has touched me deeply. It's obvious how much love and support the other women on this board have for you. I hate cancer, it sucks.. all of it and I hope and pray that your treatment kicks in and the oncologist has good news next visit.
    Hugs,
    Cindy

    Glad to see you posting
    Glad to see you posting Meena, but, sorry that it isn't good news. Keep your chin up Meena.

    Dear Meena
    I'm so sorry that you aren't getting the results you'd hoped for yet. I'm sending love and cyber hugs to you.

    And, as others have said, don't ever worry about sharing bad news. If anyone can take it, we can. Sharing sorrow makes it less sorrowful, and sharing joy multiplies it, so whatever you have, feel free to share.

    Love,
    Cindy

    You and Heidijez are both
    You and Heidijez are both constantly in my thoughts and prayers. As another IBC warrior it is sometimes hard for me when either of you have bad news, but keep posting! This is a safe zone, where all of us can say exactly what we feel.

    Your courage and gentle strength have touched me deeply. I know it will also touch the others in the support group you found. And I'm glad you were able to get some physical hugs in addition to all the cyber hugs you're getting!

    I will keep sending postive thoughts and energy to you!

    worth asking about
    Just last week an acquaintance who knows of my diagnosis (which is basically like yours) called to ask me if I had heard of a new trial. I know that you're seeing one of the foremost doctors in the country but it might be worth asking about. This comes from Dr. Sledge at IU Medical Center in Indianapolis. He is a researcher/doctor who has spent years working on HER2+ cancers. This new study (trial) combines Herceptin with a VERY OLD chemo drug that goes by just a couple of letters and numbers-it has no name. I know this is vague, but the point is that Dr. Sledge told my friend that it is showing remarkable results, VERY PROMISING. I'm going to my onc on Friday and plan to ask about it. I'm pretty sure at this time I would not qualify and am not quite ready to give up on other options. I will however try to find out more about it.

    I am sorry that your news was not what you, or any of us wanted to hear. I know first hand that it's not always easy to be "perky, positive, and strong" but try hard! Though attitude may not cure cancer, it can add a lot to our daily lives.

    As always, best wishes.

    I couldn't say it any better
    I couldn't say it any better than Linda just did. Your courage and strength have touched all of us and showed, at least me, that I can fight again if necessary.

    Sending cyber hugs,

    Meena.... this made me cry
    I love your posts and I love how dish out the dirt for us.

    Please hang on to your hope, without hope, we got nothing. And who knows..
    honestly who know in some small lab in a far away land or maybe just in a lab across
    town, someone may just make a breakthrough.

    Dear Meena, this is what I tell myself and I hang on for that moment. So should you.

    I wish I could give your a real but this has to suffice, so consider yourself
    squeezed tight and held.

    Sending you lotsa of love!
