2nd dose of Doxil today
Sorry about that little vent, what I wanted to know is if anyone else is or has had Doxil? It's really hard on me days 7-10, and I'm wanting to quit taking it. I'm hoping someone ot there has some experience with it, please let me know how you do with it.

Kari, you are never alone
Kari, you are never alone and never will be. You've got a big bunch of supportive and rowdy pink sisters here for you, now and always. Remember that!
I am sorry this chemo is so hard on you, yet selfishly, I am glad you decided to go on it. I pray that it will help you.
Miles of love to you and miles of prayers,

Wow...20 hours at the top of
Wow...20 hours at the top of pikes peak! I'm impressed, especially since the doxil is hard on you. Like you, I hope this is the one that will work.
I've been doing the cancer thing for 2 years now...and I get it about friends and family wanting off the roller coaster too. I haven't done it yet, but have you considered the ACS reach to recovery or road to recovery programs? Or other similar programs? I know it's not the same as family and friends there for you, but you might develop a new close friendship...and even though we can't physically be there for you, you are in our hearts.
As you know this is always a safe place to vent, so let it all out.

I don't know anything about Doxil, but this could be your miracle. I hate that it has to be so hard on you, though. Enough already.
Yeah, I know what you're saying about people wanting off the "supportive friend, family member cancer ride." This disease can be so lonely at times. But, we're all here for you and like Linda said, maybe a good support group could help. I've been going to group therapy for 2 hours a week for over a year and it's helped to save my sanity. Check to see if you have a "Wellness Community" in your area. They have all kinds of classes--from knitting, journaling, yoga, meditation, Tai Chi to group therapy. It's only for cancer patients and everything is entirely free. It's absolutely wonderful.
Take good care. You are always on my prayer list every night.

How did it go Kari with the Doxil?
Linda and Renee suggestions are awesome. I think we have it in the back of our
minds that with budget cuts, or our home town locations perhaps there are not
many programs out there for us. I pray and hope that your Oncologist, or
his Social worker, Hospital Adm can get you in touch with several agencies, or
groups.
I am sorry that you are alone while enduring those chemo infusions -- My vision
is that of you .. sitting getting infused .. wearing your 'F .. Cancer' Tee Shirt, wearing a sassy cowboy hat, and kick assss boots!
Our thoughts are prayers are with you, ALWAYS!

I confess, Vicki you have me
I confess, Vicki you have me all figured out, just the wrong day. My F&@K Cancer shirt was proudly worn all day yesterday, the day of my 3 year news break. I absolutely cannot believe I've been fighting this long. But here I sit, still typing, still plugging along and hoping I can pass on some of my experience, strength, and hope to those who might need it, after all, it was so freely given to me :-)

I so admire your fortitude, zest for life, and ability to push your body to extreme
measures during chemo,in your fight to meet NED.
I do not pretend to know what you are feeling, or emotionally going thru. I do KNOW that
you are a fighter, a WARRIOR and a Mom -- and nothing will stop you from performing
those duties!
Plug along dear Friend, knowing that we all LOVE YOU so much --!
Prayers, Strength and Health.

If I could, I would be right by your side Kari during chemo. Picture all of us pink sisters always there with you, if only in spirit, you know you have all of our love, support and encouragement.
Wishing I could give you a big hug in person, but, how about a cyber one?

13,000 feet or higher? I am impressed Kari! But, I have always been impressed with you, and, even more now.
Wishing you good luck with the chemo and praying for you as I always do.
Keep us posted as to how you are.

So glad to hear that you enjoyed Colorado. Good for you. Hope all went well with your chemo. I really wished that I lived closer, because I would be right there with you for your chemo.

Kari - do you realize how healthy you are (except for the cancer thing)? You spent that much time at the top of Pikes Peak? That is so outstanding. I don't know about Doxil, but I know this that you are strong enough to keep this fight going and you can handle the Doxil!
You might want to check and see if your cancer center has something like a peer navigator program like I volunteer for. They may have something informal via the infusion center or via their nurse navigator. Wish you were closer.

Check with the ACS Kari about the Road to Recovery program, or, something like that. They usually have very nice people there to help for anything. Perhaps you could meet someone that has gone through something similar to you. I just hate that you go to chemo alone.0 -
Thank you for all the great
Thank you for all the great advice! I'm going to check into my cancer center and local acs, thank you again. 2nd dose (monthly doses) down and I'm not feeling well, but I'm going in on Friday for more emetics, steroids, and fluids, in hopes to combat those horrible days (7-10). Thank you again for all your kind words, you have no idea how much it means to me to know you all are here:)
