This is a powerful statement and a wonderful survival story. I've never been to that board before. Let's hope lots of us can post there at some point.

Thanks for posting!
Thank you! I was going to post this too. I found her story and thought was amazing!

There may be another good news, but I am trying to find the post from before. "Chemo gone horribly wrong" - remember? I think I found a response from her on another forum!

Thank you so much for your response. I am terribly sorry to read that you too suffered some debilitating side effects from your treatment as well. However, you are a remarkable fighter as a 24 year survivor and I wish you the best on your continued fight.

This is it:

After spending 21 days in the ICU, something of a miracle occurred on Friday, July 22. We received a call at 8am from the hospital ICU nurse saying that mom was asking for her family. Since mom has been in a medical induced coma for over 20 days and was basically non-responsive up until that phone call, we rushed to the hospital to find her sitting up and mouthing responses to the drs and nurses. She is trached so she is not vocal but we are very good lip readers. It was as if a light switch was flipped on overnight. She was discharged to a long term acute care facility on Friday afternoon in order to continue her longer term rehabilitation. She has a long road ahead of her but we are beyond overjoyed at the sheer fight and determination this woman has within her. We are prepared for many ups and downs on her long road to recovery however since she continues to ask for 'margaritas', we know she is taking on the charge full-steam ahead. Again, thank you for your response. We have been grabbing at straws for the past 20+ days and we're just so thankful for all of the support we've received. Words really cannot express our most heartfelt gratitude and appreciation.
