Truly appropriate thoughts as we head into the day of giving thanks. Thanks for sharing.
Reviving this thread to say that the family friend I spoke of is getting a test tomorrow (I think she called it some sort of scan) and I think Thursday is when she'll find out if the chemo worked or if the cancer is still there. I'm really nervous for her but hopeful as well. Any good thoughts or prayers you can send would be appreciated.
How is everyone doing?
Best of wishes & Thoughts for your friend.
To Iflit & Phyliss-
*said in best Joey Tribbiani voice* " How YOOU doin?"
I'll send lots of good thoughts! The test she is having is probably a PET scan; a test in which fast-growing cancer cells light up. They can measure tumor size and also how metabolically active they are. I hope she has an extraordinary report!
As for my update, I'm hanging in there. My results with chemo-lite (a medication that hasn't made my hair fall out!!!) have been so-so. I suspect I will be having a discussion about new follicle-killing treatment options soon. Bummer... (Note to self: get the wig back from Robbie J...) Yes, my "hair" has appeared on stage professionally, alas, not on MY head.
Popular...please let us know how things go for your friend.
iflitifloat - yes, a PET scan. And it caught another tumor on her liver. *sigh* I really don't know how to put that into context as far as future options and treatments go. I just got a text from her son so haven't had a chance to get any more info than that.
Glad you're hanging in there.
What they thought was another tumor on the scan turned out to be a shadow of scar tissue - she is healthy for now!! WOOHOO
More peace and good thoughts.
I'm glad she's doing much better. Sending lots of good thoughts and prayers her way.
That is AMAZING news!
Bumping this with good thoughts, karma, best wishes and lots of love for our friend Iflit as she continues on this path...
Peace.
Love.
Health.
and more hugs.
And love.

Are those the little green apples God don't make in Indianapolis in the summertime?
I think they're peas.
Get it?
Sending good thoughts your way.
I knew they were peas, but I thought a stray O.C. Smith reference would make iflit smile.
