Update on Cypress Cynthia *Updated November 21, 2014*

My very first post on this board was a cry for help.  I was floundering about emotionally and was suffering from anxiety, depression and panic.  CC wrote me a beautiful, caring email and in no uncertain terms told me how to help myself as I was suffering needlessly.  I'll never forget that.  

When it was time to remove my late husband from TPN, under the guidance of hospice, I knew his suffering would come to an end.  CC's journey at this point will be gentle.  

My heart goes out to CC and her family.

Thank you, Jean...

Beyond heartbroken...

Eileen is quite special. Caring, smart, wonderful sense of humor - inspiring.

If there is even the tiniest shred of a chance that she could rally (our CC often joked she has more lives than a cat), I'm hanging on to it very tightly.

As I have been, am keeping hopeful thoughts for her within my heart.

Kind regards, Susan

Prayers for you Jean and for Eileen's Husband and all Friends and Family.   Hospice is wonderful and they will help so very much as they did for my sister .... May you find the strength to face these trying days and the Peace we were promised in John 14:27  ***   You and Eileen are in my heart and in my prayers.

So sad right now

EILEEN = Cancer Survivors Network

This wonderful woman was my guiding light as I went through my journey with breast cancer.  I don't even know what to say about this sad news except I am sending prayers.

Sending tons of love and peace to Eileen and her family. These news are really heartbreaking, something I never wanted to read.

She is in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Carmen

Love, Carmen

I had the pleasure of meeting our beloved CC in person and believe me when I say ...  her smile provided warm, love and hope. 

There is no justice to why, or whom is taken to heaven by the beast we know as 'breast cancer'. Eileen has provided so many with information, help, research and out pour of love and concern for all.

Eileen loved Danny her Engineer Husband - and daughter, Katherine.  So proud, and delighted at Katherine's recent wedding - did I mention her beautiful new granddaughter. 

I pray for comfort, peace and much strength for Danny, Katherine and CC's extended family, and Sisters. 

CC is and will always be my HERO, Mentor, and Friend.

Thank you Jean for the update.

I was not aware of her current situation. I remember her looking beautiful for her daughter's wedding. She was so happy to be able to see her get married. I remember the photo she took with her. They both look so happy. That was the last memory I had of her. I really thought she was doing well. And I was happy for her.

I am so sorry this is happening to another sister. I wish it would stop! It's not fair. It hurts.

Sending prayers for our beautiful sister and her family.

Hang in the sweet sister! We love you.

Praying.

Update November 21

 

 

 

Below is a message that CC's sister posted today on Facebook.  It is a message that she received from Eileen's daughter, Katherine.  Her sister added the parts in the parenthesis.  Please continue to keep Eileen, Danny, Katherine, and their entire family in your thoughts & prayers.

Mom seems to be doing better today. Still pretty confused, but less so. She is physically ridiculously better than she was on Tuesday. We got her to drink a few sips of smoothie, but she still isn't really eating. It sounds like she had a good night last night. No trying to walk the dogs at midnight (the night before Eileen got up and put on her boots and jacket and was ready to walk the dogs, I thought that was amazing even if the timing was off) My Dad was able to get some sleep. (This was a message I received from Katherine today. I added the part in parenthesis)

 

Thank you so much for your update.  We hang onto the smallest pieces of hope and positive news. I know how much you are all aware how close we hold our supreme pink sister Eileen. You are fortunate to have each other at this time. We are the caboose clanking along on the track with you. Thank you again

My prayers and positive thoughts go out to Eileen, her husband, daughter and her family as well as Eileen's sister.

She always said, that we long term survivors must stick together.  I do have hope for you Eileen that will pull you through and back to the drugs that will help keep this awful disease in check for a while longer.

Love to all of you,

Doris

I won't give up hoping that she will rally.  If anyone out there can pull through this she is the one who can do it.  My strength and thoughts go out to her loving family.  

Thank you Jean for the update.  

Sending strength and hope,

Clementine
