Kari, I didn't know if you had started chemo yet or not, so, I wanted to see how you are doing incase you have started already.

If you have started, I am praying that you are doing well on it with no side effects.


Hugs, Lex

    Thank you!! Chemo starts
    Thank you!! Chemo starts Monday 8-01-11 which would also be my my sister's (she would have been 51, passed away at 43 from BC) birthday. I'm getting Gemcitibine/Carboplatin and it takes approx. 4 hours to infuse. I'll update after chemo as to how it's going, I'm staying positive and taking it one day at a time.
    Hugs,
    Kari

    As you start the chemo journey again...to many of us understand what it's like to battle this more than once...it sucks but we do what we have to do...soldier on!

    I'll be thinking About you tomorrow as I am sure many on this board will be...hoping that will be of some small comfort to you..

    17 year survivor
    Kari-
    I just wanted to let you know that I learned of a woman in my neck of the woods who is a 17-year Stage IV (yes, Stage IV) survivor. She was married when first diagnosed, the jerk left her, she had a recurrence (became Stage IV), had further treatments, became active in the BC community, met a man whom she married (when she was Stage IV) and lived happily ever after.

    May you have a similar story.

    Love,
    Suzanne
