Oh, Chen
Your upbeat, positive attitude never cease to amaze me. You are one of the strongest women I know, and I know you will "Do what you have to do" in order to beat this. Hugs and prayers of the most intense kind are coming from PA to CA. We love you, Claudia!!! Hugs, Linda

I am SO glad you changed
I am SO glad you changed oncologists! With every update I have more and more faith that you are on the right path. Please let us know about the trial after you plow through all that paperwork. And I'll be looking for those posts about the reduction in pain because the chemo is working...I'm gonna pray and send more positive energy first.

Hugs,

Linda

Hey Chen,
as always, your humor shines through! Looking for the positive, at least it wasn't a lot but only minimal spread. Your team sounds amazing! It so makes a huge difference to have a team you really like. I'm curious about the hormone blockers. For those who are Estrogen positive, why then do they only give you hormone blockers for 5 years? I just got off mine but wonder if I should still be on them. What's really wierd is that I had a full hysterectomy 2 years ago but have hot flashes several times a day. I thought being post menopausal AND having my stuff taken out would give me some respite on the flashes but it hasn't...anyway, I was just curious when I read about the hormone blockers you'll go on.

Prayers, hugs and love being sent to you!

Chenheart - put down the what-if's...
Those things sound scary... let's instead make a our own "what if and who knows list" it goes a little
like this :

WHAT IF Chenheart kicks the cancer habit with all the pink sisters' and reggies energy behind her?
WHAT IF Chenheart publishes her first bestseller - My chemical affair with cancer ?
WHO KNOWS she may do the pink tour and visit us all?
WHO KNOWS she may start up a flamingo farm with Cheryl?
WHO KNOWS she may invent gourmet peeps?

Love ya Chenheart!!

You know...
... I'm with you, Claudia, every step of the way. As it has always been for us, all along. Doesn't matter if we're now on different forks off the main road. Still holding hands via cyberspace. And soon, we'll be back, again side by side.

Though certainly wishing none of this was neccessary, am very encouraged by your new plan. I wave continuously, even while asleep.

Love you. XO 12/25
