What a week. I am very sad. My dear buddy, my 11 year old lab/chow "Blue" died last night. We had been fighting cancer together and he finally lost his fight. What wonderful protector and friend he was. I know it may seem trivial with all of us fighting for our human lives, but I miss him. My 8 yr old son was heartbroken and told me he didn't want me to die of cancer too. ( Blue's dx came before mine or my husbands, or we probably never would have told him his dog had cancer.)

I was supposed to have my last chemo treatment this past tues. It was a train wreck of errors including reading old labs. It was IP chemo and they had me already: belly loaded with saline, IV hydration, mag running, pre meeds dosed and in the vein, then they found the current lab and told me no chemo because I was too dehydrated. Go home. Thank you for playing our game.

I had 4 more hours of mag today with 4 hr blood for the hemoglobin tomorrow.

This Tuesday I get the results from my PET scan and find out " what's next" now that chemo is done. I am so nervous. Also have to schedule surgery to remove a lump on my neck. I hate surgery.

Thanks for listening, please send some peace my way...

    So sorry for you loss. I had
    So sorry for you loss. I had a cat who died of heart failure the day before my surgery and I ached so much for him. Our pets are the best friends anyone could have. They sit and listen to you when you talk, and snuggle up when you need a pick me up. The years you had with your beloved "freind" will always remain. Think of all those wonderful times and you will have a smile on your face again. I hope things look up for you soon. And sending Peace your way. {HUGS} clynn

    Oh, so sorry for your loss. Your husband has cancer too???? Having young kids at home, I can relate. This all must be so scary for your son.

    Good luck with your last IP chemo. Have your numbers dropped significantly??? Good luck with your upcoming petscan too!!!!

    Good news! My PET was clear!!!! NED--no evidence of disease!!!!! Yes, we were dx'd three days apart. He had a brain tumor that they removed immediately. He went through radiation while I went through chemo. Now we are officially both cancer free!!! Time to take back our lives. Put this horrible year behind us. My 125 numbers were never high--68 at the highest yet the cancer was everywhere: colon, liver, all my hyster-sister parts, but low marker numbers.

    Thanks for your concern and thoughts. You children are beautiful. You son resembles my son: little blondie. You've inspired me to post a new pic...if I can figure out how...
