Thank you!

Thanks Buckeye...I hope things are going well for you too.

Thank you for welcoming me. I will look forward to sharing our successes. I am so glad I found this website. Hope you are having a "feel good" day.

Hey Shelby, just wanted to drop by and say hello!! How are things going?

Just saying hi.

Hey Buckeye...You're so right so many people don't get such good news. I am lucky and I am grateful. I'll get through it and be back to tell you about it ! Thanks for your good wishes.Enjoy the weekend. Zoe

How is your mom doing, and how are you holding up? I'm praying for you.

Thank you. How are you doing?

I have to tell you that my mother had been in a nursing home several times over the years. She preferred to be in one closer to home, so that the family would visit more often. It definitely wasn't the best place, but being able to check up on her often was worth it. They seem to take better care of the patients that they know have family who are interested in their loved one's care. I was able to visit my mother the day after my first chemo treatment, and act like I felt fine. Of course, she knew better, but it relieved her to see that I was still alive. Good luck to you.

Shelby,

When cancer first became a part of my life my mother was stricken with Alzheimer's.I took care of her until I no longer could. She had to be put in care. She and I were alone in the world. I had nobody else but the caregiver I was paying to take care of her during the day while I did at night. It could not have continued with me sick as well.

Looking forward to seeing and "after coloring" picture. My cousin just posted one with her hair bright red. One of the teens at last night's karate had bright blue streaks.

Thank you for responding! You are the first. I am trying to figure out the site. With my neuropathy typing is slow. I am reading and finding joy. Sometimes bittersweet, often I see strength. Take care!

hi, just wanted to say hi. hope all is well with u. I've got 2 months ofc oral chemo and will be done. I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer on April 2012.. the tumor was removed on January 2013 .. how long have you been dx?? do you take oral or iv chemo?

Shelby, I bleed right through all of them. I answered Clifta with what I am doing.

I hope you are enjoying the weekend as best as you can.

Long time no see. How is it going?

Thank you Buckeye,I'll let everyone know on Fri.

When you enter that tube tomorrow for your test know that a 66
Guy is right there with you praying to god for perfect results.

Hello!

GregP_WN suggested I ask you from your experience in insurance admin about whether applying for short term disability insurance while undergoing chemo will give me problems later (if I have a recurrence or need to use the insurance again at some time in the future.) I can work some right now, but it would be easier if I could get get my full salary. Of course, I'd hate to claim the insurance now if I will really need it later.

I've referenced the question here. Thank you so, so much!

You sound like me I would rather laugh than cry!

Thank you but I am really frustrated with this women because small cell never has surgery and many of the things she is reporting are impossible as protocol for Lung cancer. especially small cell.

I know I just lost it today.

Hi Shelby, Hope all is well your way! I havent been on what next for a while and wanted to just say Good Morning! God Bless!

thank you so much for your reply... the what ifs are making me crazy. Plus last night I found an article on the internet about botched robotic hysterectomys and I am scheduled for one this wednesday. oh I do not know what I am doing. I maybe should have got another opinion on other methods.

Good morning, thanks for getting in touch! This is not anything we expect to face but the connections help so that youknow you are not alone! Take care and talk soon!

Thank you for welcoming me. I see my doctors on Friday and I have tons of questions for them . When I get back, I'm sure i'll have a few questions to ask here as well.

My job ran my sick leave concurrent with my FMLA. Is that lawful? FMLA is suppose to be unpaid leave isn't it? Thank you for your response.

Hi Shelby. How r u this morning?

Hi, BuckeyeShelby. I have seen some of your posts in the past and just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate them. They are humorous without being flip. I feel very weighted down sometimes and your injection of humor is very much appreciated. : )

I went through the lack of oxygen after surgery following a vehicular collision. Before being diagnosed I was completely honest with my anaesthesiologist for the D and C. This may be nothing compared to your experiences and what I am about to experience, again, I am a rookie, but my fear of anaesthesia has gone on for years. He did not mock me, but treated me with respect. I found I could trust him. It was only Versed and a nerve block but for me it was a major hurdle no longer a hurdle.

Please remind us of your upcoming scan in July so we can send positive thoughts and prayers your way...hope all is well with you.
