    Dear Kari,
    Sorry that you have to go through this. Stay strong and keep your positive attitude. You have a lot to fight for. Congratulations on your daughter's upcoming wedding. You need to be around to see your Grandchildren. That is a true blessing and something to look forward to, even if it's years in the future. I will keep you in my prayers.

    xoxo,
    Jean

    Kari--you CAN do this!
    It won't be easy--but nothing worth fighting for is easy. I love your amazing attitude. When you get weary--lean on us and those two beautiful children of yours. We in this with you all the way.

    Hugs, Renee

    Wish I could make it go away
    Be strong, Kari. You have many things to look forward to, and it sounds like your mets can be put back in remission. Sorry you have to go through this again, but this is why we have follow-ups, to nip things in the bud. Sending well wishes, prayers, and positive thoughts.

    Kari,
    I am sorry that you
    Kari,
    I am sorry that you had this news but I am truly inspired by your attitude. You are right there ready to get this done and while a strong attitude won't get rid of the cancer it will certainly help you in fighting it. You are very focused and you are facing this headon. Doesn't mean you don't have worries but you are taking it a step at a time and dealing with it as it comes. Very good strategy. I will keep you in my prayers and good thoughts. Others have said it much better than I but we are all in your corner and rooting for you. GO FIGHT WIN

    Mountains Of Love..how completely appropriate, Kari. My heart is with you as you get ready to do battle; it is obvious that you are as ready as any of us can be, and the strength, empathy and courage of the Kindred Spirits can only help bolster your resolve.

    Dear Kari, this sucks! My thoughts and prayers are with you and please keep us posted. But, to give you hope, I have had bone mets for nearly 2 years now and I'm doing well. Not curable but treatable is what I tell myself!

    Kari, I'm so sorry to hear
    Kari, I'm so sorry to hear that you have to once again put on your battle armour to fight this damnable thing! But I believe you have such a great attitude and will prevail... I can't answer any of your questions, but I can offer you lots of support. Will be celebrating with you when you watch your daughter walk down the isle and your son take his graduation walk... actually my youngest son will be taking that same walk next year too, we can celebrate together.

    Hang in there my friend.

    ~Hugs & love,

    Yikes Katz, that's a painful
    Yikes Katz, that's a painful back you have :( To be honest with you, I never thought twice about my back pain, last thing I was thinking of was cancer because, as I stated, TN don't usually go there. It was the pet scan that picked it up, thank God for those pet scans!! I was on a schedule of a scan every three months, I managed to get two clear scans and then this. As for the pain, it's like a pressure/ache that doesn't go away, it's constant and tough to get comfortable, where my typical back pain I could get comfortable and it would come and go. Rads are supposed to relieve that, that's why she is doing them right away. It's tough when you already have back trouble, but if I were you, I would pay attention to the pain being different or in another area, maybe ask your Doc to do an MRI, this would at least give you some peace of mind. What type of BC do you have?
    Tight squeezes back at ya!!
    ~Kari

    Hi kari

    I have stage 3c with 28/38 positve nodes. Er+ pr- her2+.
    Yes the back thing has been going on for over 3 yrs now. Work, home to heating pad. Going to see a guy on the 16th. Had bilat mast, think I would do that again before back surgery. Scares me. Hoping I havent done permanent damage.
    Praying for you. Glad it was caught early. I get a pet scan in 3 months. It will be my first. Wonder if they can tell the differance. Will it "glow" where the surgery is? Mmmm Good luck next tuesday. Hope it helps with your pain. Tighter squeezing,Katz

    Both of you ladies take care!
    Kari, I'm sorry about the bone mets news. But as always, you're coming out swinging, and I really believe you're going to win this round too. And Katz, I think Kari is right and that an MRI would be a good idea to give you some peace of mind. God bless you both!

    Joe

    I totally agree with Joe.
    I totally agree with Joe. You will win this battle Kari!

    sorry to hear it's gone to your bones. It does sound like you have a plan though. You will get through this treatment too! My SIL lived 10 years to see her daughter graduate from high school and college, her 1st grandchild born, etc. You'll have many years to celebrate all that may happen in your family. Wishing you positive thoughts and outcomes.

    stay positive Kari
    Sounds like your spirits are high and that is great! Being positive may not cure cancer, but it helps us through the mental part of the journey. It seems as though you caught it early and that too is good. Best wishes to you as you begin to manage this disease and hold it at bay!
