    Thank you so much for letting us know. I am sure all the ladies here deeply appreciate your keeping us informed. Nancy continues to be in our thoughts and prayers, along with her family and friends and that includes you of course. This disease sucks.. it makes me so mad.. I have to admit I'm a little bit in shock right now.. I shouldn't be, I know it's the nature of the beast, but up until a month or so again, Nancy seemed fine... I mean other than maybe a little fatigue...and some minor ab. discomfort... I just can't fathom this. When I think of those dear sweet little boys, and her loving devoted husband, I am just beside myself with grief. Please God turn this around....
    Hugs,
    Cindy

    ((((Carlene)))). UGH.
    That poor girl; she deserved a better shake, a better outcome.

    I kept hoping everyone was wrong and Nancy was right. I have substantial liver mets myself and a CA125 of over 8000, and yet I weeded my huge garden in 98-degree heat all morning and then entertained a pool-fun of company all afternoon (& I have a BIG POOL PARTY planned here for tomorrow's holiday that I need to start cooking and cleaning for tonight). And since Nancy and I have similar crazy-high CA125s and growing liver mets, I thought she might just find a way to surprise everyone and pull herself out of this. How quickly things can turn ugly! I hate to think of that, for each of us.

    I'm heartsick about this. Nancy is special to me, to so many of us. I, too, am comforted that she is not in pain. But I'm not okay with this; I HATE THIS!!!

    So Sad
    I'm feeling so sad right now about Nancy.I can't find the words to express how much this hurts. I don't know Nancy personally but I feel so connected to her as a mother and I just can't imagine having to leave your beautiful boys with no mother. I pray that God watches over her entire family and give them the courage and strength to endure. This is to sad for me.

    God no!!
    this can't be happening!!!.I know you and nancy are very close like a sister. Please give her our love, and take care of yourself. All I can think is her profile pic with her husband and children. This just is not fair. Good people die way too soon and evil people get to live. Sorry for the rant. Please God please help us and find s cure...val

    I am so sad to hear this for
    I am so sad to hear this for Nancy and her family; usually when our ladies do not post as often, I wonder but quickly put the grim thoughts to rest in hopes, that we all choose to attempt to move on and lead as normal life as possible after our illnesses tried to claim our livelihoods.

    I have met many sisters that have posted on various sites and have lost them and this damn reality just never gets any easier to swallow. It hurts to see these beautiful sisters who have such beauty and happiness and stories to share just taken away.

    I pray that Nancy is comfortable and not in any pain and that she at least knows how many lives she has touched with her presence.

    I'm just disheartened.

    Prayers to Nancy and her family.

    :(
    Nancy was always one of the first to respond to any questions I had. I knew I could count on her and Carlene to help me out. This really makes me sad. I cannot imagine how difficult this must be for her to be leaving her two little boys behind.
    I am very relieved to hear she has not experienced any pain. I hope she is at peace.
    Thank you Carlene for the update. We all really appreciate it. I wish I could help you out right now the same way you have helped me out over the last year. Sending big hugs your way.
    I will be sure to say an extra special prayer for Nancy tonight.

    So sad
    I hate to hear this news. Nancy is such a strong woman I was hoping she would recover. I'm glad she isn't in any pain. I hate this disease.
    Praying for Nancy and her family.

    Dear Nancy,
    I am saddened to learn of your news. I pray that our Lord will grant you comfort and peace. Though we have never met, my heart knows you well. We are all sisters on this board. I cry for you. I feel your pain. Know that you are never alone. We, your sisters will always think of you with smiles on our faces. Your husband and children are brave. We will all be together again one day. May the Lord bless you and keep you always.

    Love,
    Betty

    worst
    This is the worst news to hear. Bless you for your help in keeping us in contact with Nancy, Carlene. We all love her, even if many of us never met face to face.

    Holding all of your hands in spirit,

    so so sad
    I too am so saddened by this news. I am fairly new and I have been watching Nancy's post and cheering her on from afar. I also gained much hope and inspiration from her as I felt she was beating the disease. I am a nurse and had worked in oncology for a short time. I took all those people to my heart and remember them all and I am finding the same thing on this board. We really do become family and share each joy and grieve every saddnes.
    I lost my mother to breast cancer at the age of 3 and I feel so for her young family. It certainly doesnt seem fair but who are we to question God? We must trust in Him. Hard sometimes.
    I am glad she is not in pain. I wish there was something that could be done to aleve the pain of the family as well. I know they are good people who will hang on to each other and support each other and with God's help will get thru this.

    Prayers and hugs

    It's so hard to accept
    that Nancy is so ill. Thanks, again Carlene, for preparing us. My heart is breaking.

    Nancy
    Am so sad and am numb from the recent loss of so many wonderful women. I too pray that Nancy remains pain free and I pray for her family. Thank you Carlene. It is always hard to deliver bad news but you have let us know about someone we care deeply for. God Bless.

    This is so sad !
    I am at a loss for words, I don't think there are words that will comfort you Carlene or any of us.
    I don't really believe in heaven or hell but if there is an afterlife I can picture our sisters who have gone before us, wearing teal in some way and guiding someone somehow towards a cure for us. When Nancy joins them it will be a horrible loss for her family but a gain for our etheral teal back-up team.
    Please tell her she is loved not only by her immediate family but also by her teal sisters here. I see my fate in her story and am comforted that she has her family with her to help her with her stuggle.
    Our hopes for a cure for Nancy have been dashed but may she have a peaceful end to her journey ,please !

    I want you all to know that
    I want you all to know that Nancy's sister told me how much this board has meant to Nancy. She (Nancy) related some of our stories to her sister and her mom, so they almost feel like they know us, too. Her sister is going to create an account and come "talk" to us, when things are not so chaotic.

    Nancy has several sisters and at least on brother (I forget the exact count) and they all have families. Yesterday when I was talking to Nancy's mom on the phone, I could hear children playing in the background. Happy, happy sounds. There were 6 children there, and 2 more coming that same day, her mom said. It was the sound of a family, come to surround and protect a fragile but still beating heart.

    I have not spoken to Nancy's husband, Joe, since March. I hope he is holding up, but I know this is killing him. He is such a sweet, gentle man and he adores Nancy.

    It's been a hell of a year. Not all of you knew Jayne Armstrong and Sarah, bloggers and Inspire members, but losing them was awful. Jayne, so fierce and bold, fought for 8 long years. And Sarah, like Nancy, had small children. Sarah was known as "The Carcinista" to many, and her sense of humor was amazing. Sarah could always make us laugh, no matter how bad everything seemed. She has been nominated for an award at the upcoming OCNA Annual Conference in Washington DC.


    I'm rambling.....sorry.

    So unfair
    Oh Carlene this sadens me so much. I have recently lost a very good friend to a sudden death and nothing makes sense any more. Sudden death or long prolonged illness ............. none of it is easy to bear. I am so so sorry to hear this sad news and only hope she is able to find peace and that her young children are able to bear it too.

    I will be thinking and praying for Nancy and her family
