Coborns recheck today
Well I go back in this morning to my first medical oncologist. The Drs. at the University of Mn. were so accommedating in helping facillitate this for me. Some family members are confused on my choices....I giggle and say welcome to the party guys ! Please excuse my spelling and wording as some days it's harder to formulate what I want to say. I have some questions to ask today that I'm not sure I want the answers to. But....that's who I am. FAITH and HOPE have brought me this far. I have been trying to get to a point of acceptance with my breathing. Without more biopsies the answers are unclear. I have made a choice not to do anymore surgeries on them.....and rads ? Man knowing I have only a small amount left...probably never gonna happen. So why am I going back to the cancer center ? I fought with myself on this one. I made a choice to track my disease because of it's rareness. And to go into uncharted waters....many have done wonderful with. I think my body has many issues other than my cancer dx. So again I say to the newbee's on site....everyone one is different. My path is not your path.
Most days I sleep after a few activities. My body is so worn down. I try my hardest not to give into this pattern....but for today it is what it is. I still come to this site to rejoice in all the great outcomes and to cheer on the people struggling. Know that I still laugh and joke, and am living every minute of every day. Many hugs sent out to all....and HOPE and FAITH are still our greatest strenghth ! Katie

Butterflies are free to fly
You are such an inspiration. Willing to track your disease for others knowledge shows how special you are. I love watching real butterflies flit from flower to flower. I just started a new quilt of butterflies. Know that I will be praying for you as I sew and quilt this new project.

There You Go...ljoy said:Coborn
I'm an eight year survivor of tonsil cancer. I volunteer one day a week at the Coborn Cancer Center. I would welcome the opportunity to meet and visit with you in person. As others have commented you are a true inspiration to this site and all who use it.
One of the main reasons that I started the H&N Where Are You map....
So as to meet others near, and offer support or just another that has or is fighting the same battle that only you understand...

Prayers for you
Katie,
Remember when you pulled me off the dog pile on Johnny, the newbie H&N patient who would not give up drinking and smoking? I do.
Remember when I figured out you set a land speed record getting to the doctor and half of it on gravel road? I do.
Use your faith and hope wisely, we love you around here.

I'm going to PM you as I can explain better. You could maybe answer a few questions for me as you walked your Mother through some of it. Hugs sent ! Katie

My family away from home
Thank you all for your kind words. I'm nothing special....just a woman walking a walk I have no choice in. I think attitude and not feeling sorry for myself is helping. Not that I haven't shed a tear or three in the past couple of yrs. You have all become such a big part of my life, and in my eyes I couldn't have found a better place to share and encourage. Hugs sent to all my fellow warriors ! Katie
