    Glad to hear from you. Don't like what I heard but honestly know that as hard as putting 'affairs in order' go, for me their was also a sense of releif that my kids would not have to make these difficult decisions. I pray that your onco can find a chemo cocktail that will penetrate these horrible tumors. When I went to Johns Hopkins I was told 25k to start in case my insurance wouldnt agree. My insurance rejected...... so we are doing everything that we can. Still have to hope that one of these combo's will slow it down until they can find something like AIDS research to turn this disease from terminal to a chronic condition... I too just can't give up.

    Hugs and prayers for you and your family

    Geesh Kari,
    Even in your darkest low you are there to comfort us pinks who worry so about you. There are no words I could say to comfort you at this time. But you can be assured that not only are you leaving your kids a legacy, you are leaving us one as well. We will always love you sweet sister all the way to heaven. But as of now you are still here on this earth, don't give up the fight. ♥

    WOW, I jumped on here this
    WOW, I jumped on here this morning again and I must say the overwhelming response to my post has brought me to tears. This board and all of its Kindred Spirits have given me so much and it would be impossible to give it back in one lifetime. I'm still fighting, but this chemo is making me really sick, and it's not working, but then, just because my bone tumors are multiplying doesn't mean the chemo isn't keeping the cancer out of a vital organ, I guess we never know....anyhow, thank you so so so so so much for all your prayers!!
    Staying Strong and Keeping On,

    My ♥ is with you sweet Kari...I wish as always that I had The Magic for all of us.
    The Kindreds have given you all of their hopes, love, wishes, prayers and options for physicians who may have different trials and or drugs which may help you. I love that you took the time to be so calm and eloquent with your oline family~ I can only begin to imagine the Legacy Of Love you have taught your physical family...what a blessing you are to us all.
    I am hoping for a miracle...and why shouldn't I?

    All blessings to you, for Hope, for Remission, for a Cure.

    Kari,
    I am having a mixed feeling, happy to see your post and good time in Cancun, amazed by your strengths and taking control of your situation and very disappointed by disease progression.
