Trying to keep going

I am like the other sisters
I am like the other sisters as it's hard to even find the words to write back to you Kat. You have always been an inspiration to all of us on this board and you still are. I know we all write the word amazing about you, but, that's because you are! Kat, you are an amazing, young, beautiful pink sister!

You're just too young to have to endure any of this and that angers me. No one should have to, but, certainly not at your age.

You will be in my prayers Kat and I am always here for you. Please come back and post anything new for us as we love you.


Love and lots of prayers,

Leeza

This is alot
This is alot for a young lady like you to have to comprehend.It's hard ehough for us so we know what it must be for you.I believe in Prayer.I never stop praying and many times miracles have happened in my life.I prayed for them. That's what I'll do for you.

For what to do.I guess the chance that just maybe chemo will kick in I think I would go for it.Wish you could start now but I know you need to heal from this other surgery.If there would be just a glimmer of hope I would try.I hear so many have one chemo not working.Try another and it works. I guess I would wish for that.

Will continue to think about you and Pray. I hope whatever decision you make you get get a quick recovery from this last painful surgery.Then decide on the chemo or take the time for your family and friends.Your family and friends will support you on whatever you decide.And of course your PINK SISTERS.'

I am speechless. What you


I am speechless. What you have been through is absolutely astounding and the courage you have facing all of this at the age of 21. It is heart breaking! Whatever your decision, it is supported and we will keep prayer for you. Many many hugs and love to you. Mariam.

Oh, Kat
like Sylvia--I do hear the positive tone that is still in your being. The pain makes being hopeful and positive so difficult--but I still hear it in you. And Mary--that prayer said it all. Thank you for sharing it with Kat and all of us.

Like yourself and other gals here, being Stage IV changes everything. I choose to be positive and hopeful most days--but then those other ones creep in and I get scared and really sad. As much as I truly don't want to leave this life, I just have to believe there is something so much better waiting for me and all of us.

You've been on my nightly prayer list for a long time, Kat, and there you'll stay. Stay strong when you can but don't be afraid to let go once in a while.

Love and many hugs, Renee

Thanks MsGebby for the

Oh Kat, my heart is breaking
Oh Kat, my heart is breaking tonight. I can only imagine how hard this is for you. Because I am stage 4, I have thought about it alot. I know, for me, I would not hesitate to call hospice. It doesn't even mean, to me, that you have given up. It means that you want to have the very best pain management and comfort care out there, so you can live every last day to the hilt.

I may have mentioned this before, but Danny's grandmother had a rough end in the hospital after receiving surgery that she could never possibly heal from. I won't go there, but her daughter, Danny's aunt, decided she would never have that happen to her.

Years later, when she was dying from terminal colon cancer, she died at home with hospice involved. She was on lots of drugs, back happy. We saw her right before she died and we had such a lovely time with her and she seemed comfortable and at peace.

That is how I want to go, when it is time. Now only you know when it is time and, whatever you decide, I am here for you. I admire your spunk, your unselfishness and your courage. I am praying for you and sending big (((hugs))).

Many prayers, many hugs and
Many prayers, many hugs and lots of love for you Kat are coming your way from every survivor on this board!

Keep fighting!

Any news on Kat?

Any news on Kat?

Oh Kat
Hate the fact you are so young. I am so sorry about your news and all of us totally feel for you as only we can. Tough decision. I have decided if this happens to me in the future I would prefer to let things take their course but when reality kicks in we don't know what we will decide at the time. Thinking you need to get all the facts, sit down with the professionals, then have some personal time for you to think things through. Perhaps some one very special to you could at least not guide you but be there to listen to you and your thoughts. Sorry sweetheart........ There are no words to explain how I feel.

Kit Kat --
I don't have the words to convey my sadness. Like so many others have stated, I can
not imagine what you are feeling, or going through right now. Your world must be
upside down, and sideways.

My heart and soul go out to you, and your parents. Hoping and praying that things
get better for you.

Gentle hugs, dear Kat.

You've always been such a
You've always been such a bright light on this board Kat and quite honestly, I think everyone of us admire you and are amazed by each and every post you write. I can't imagine what you're going thru right now.


I will keep you in my prayers and I will also be praying for your family.


Biggest of hugs,

Diane

Kat
I too am very sorry for your news and know that you are close to many of our hearts let alone our souls. At stage 3 and with cancer I had I know what it means to be scared and sometimes just knowing what you have control over and what you do not can help make decisions with a little clearer of a conscience. But know this is something you have to do for yourself and that too helps to make better decisions.
You are so young, so beautiful and I am sorry you carry the burden of the others because you should not. You now have to worry about you alone and that sometimes is the hardest thing to do.
I am glad you have this site to lay all you feel because I do know one thing more than anything we all need to let so much go and if not sharing with those closest to us we need to lay it all somewhere and it doesn't get any better than this.

BE good to yourself always and be that best friend to yourself first...
