Feeling very low

It can be difficult to stay positive, that is true.. but what a beautiful soul you have ... to keep fighting right along with your mom... I will say a prayer too... for you both, and all the doctors and nurses involved in your mom's care...I look forward to hearing all the great news that you'll be sharing with us soon!!

My mom is a breast cancer survivor and treatment was not easy on her. She had blood transfusions and nausea and neuropathy. She has been in remission since 2010! It is not easy watching a parent go thru this! I find that me being told I had terminal cancer more than 9 months was easier than watching my parents go thru it. Dad's fight did not end the same way as mom's did. Thankfully there are many cancer survivors! I pray that your mom will also be a survivor!

Prayers and blessings,

Amy

I'm sorry to learn you've had a setback.  I'm hoping the great team of docs you have find another angle.  In the meantime, keep making memories.  That's my goal

Dear Anne,

You have been in my thoughts and prayers and I often wish that your cancer would simply stop progressing and begin to disappear. I wish this for all the women here. Fortunately, you have a great team of doctors to assist you. I agree that it can be exhausting to be strong and forever positive. As you know, I have my ups and downs, too-yet I find peace when I connect with my sisters on this Board. Keep making those memories! In my mind's eye, I can picture you galloping on your horse with the magnificent creature's mane and tail flowing in the breeze. I love horseback riding but haven't been on a horse in many years. In a few days, we will be driving north to upstate Georgia to visit family on Lake Burton in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. It will be a welcome break from my job.

A warm hug,

Cathy

Keeping her and you in my prayers.

I was Dx stage IIIC in April 2013; second opinion had me at Stage IVB due to distance from tumors to Furthest met during surgery.  UPSC.  I have been in continuous treatment since then due to ongoing progression.  I think it is okay to have up and down days.  It is healthy and we need the outlet.  Mostly I am positive but every now and then I give in.  As someone said to me once, maintaining a positive attitude all of the time and being told you are brave and a fighter all of the time is exhausting.  I am mostly positive and have had amazing experiences because of my cancer but a good cry is also healthy too.  Which I had yesterday upon learning my cancer continues to progress.  My goal is to live with cancer so I work, ride my horse and do things that make me happy - create new memories for my family and loved ones.  

Keeping her and your family in my prayers.  Anne

To keep us from physical harm , therefore, we still must embrace life with all of it's rough edges and disappointments, giving up is not a sensible option and I see you are not doing that, so my sister ,pick yourself up ,dust yourself off  and start your fight anew. I have asked the Creator to intervene and bestow upon you added strength,courage and renewed hope.

As you process this new reality our thoughts and best wishes  are with you, and will be with you all the while, as every one's ' gut punch ' frightens the rest of us,  but for us  flight is not an option, for better or worse this darn thing will now remain our reality even when we have out -foxed  it , the journey  and the fear of it's return will be etched in our minds with an  indelible pen forever. What a powerful ,awful beast cancer is. thus, our resolve  should be to hurry up with living, saying NO to all unimportant issues  and the stress they bring. 

Showers of blessings Anne.  nuff nuff love.

Thankyou

Thankyou ladies for your support! Last 3 days have been rough but I am back to being positive today! I don't know you but here you are helping me... What a wonderful world this is!! It is worth living for and fighting for the awesome gift of life! A big hug to all of you!

 

Three cheers to the comment "keep making new memories"! I love it :-)

 

by your mom's side while she goes through this means the world to her.  I did this with my own mother, and I am grateful for that time we battled together.  It brought us closer in ways I would never have imagined.  Wishing for good news for you both in the future.
