Dear Leslie, just a quick note to thank you very much for your prayers and good wishes....I have just finished my last test today and all of them went great....No evidence of disease................I am so happy and wanted to share with you and thank you very much......Of course the battle continues......now I have to start my third chemo cycle which will be a maintenance cycle.......I am so happy........kepp in touch and God bless we....

Dear Leslie, hope you are getting better and more confident with next phase of treatments.......I imagine how hard these days have been to you after the results of your tests as I was also doing mine ones and was extremelly anxious about them.....But remember never to give up and there are too many treatments to explore so the most important thing is to keep faithful that we can....I will keep you on my prayers and please keep fighting and faithful.......God bless we, your family and all medical team that will support you in this new treatment.....We can and we will.............

Hi Leslie. That is such a beautiful family photo. You are not alone and we are here for you. This is such a great place for us all to share our experiences and hopes. Stay strong and fight hard. Thank you for sharing and look forward to hearing from you again real soon.

Hi Leslie! Hope you had a good weekend. Greg sent me your email, I tried finding you on Facebook, but no luck. Im using my iPad, I'll get on my laptop and try there. iPads are a little finicky sometimes. Hope you are doing well, when is your next treatment? if all else fails, I'll email you directly. Take care.

Hi...I saw your question about anyone living in the Fort Myers area. I answered but for some reason it disappeared from the screen. Anyway,as I was saying,I moved out of Estero 18 months ago after pancreatic cancer surgery( Moffitt in Tampa) to be near my daughter who lives here in upstate NY. I love my daughter but I HATE it here. I miss Fl. sooo much. I miss the palm trees,the sunny days and especially PUBLIX !!!! You're so lucky to live there. I wish you the best.Take good care, Zoe

Hi LeslieJC,
My experience with hair loss: I too was on carbo/taxo, but every 21 days, went thru six treatments. I had thick shoulder length hair, I hoped it would just thin out and not fall out completely. Three weeks after my first treatment, it started falling out, first after shampooing, then just by brushing my hair. I was afraid to touch it. I thought that by not touching it, it would stay with me longer, wishful thinking on my part! I started leaving hair everywhere. I was at work one day, and a coworker saw how upset I was, I showed her a handful of hair, she told me to grab my purse and we left the office. She took me for a long drive, which helped calm me down. I decided that day it had to come off. I called my kids to come over afterwork, told my son to bring his clippers. We opened a bottle of wine and toasted my hair. We sat outside, my daughter with scissors in hand and my son with clippers (he is a Marine, so he keeps his hair short, handy with clippers). my daughter started cutting away, creating different looks, we all laughed. My son then asked if I was ready for my high and tight Marine cut....away went the clippers! That whole experience made loosing my hair so much easier. I don't know if you have already chosen to cut your hair, but I hope you can celebrate that part of your journey with the ones you love. It's been seven months since my last treatment, and just had my third hair cut! The first was to get some shape into it. It grew back dark(almost black) and curly, big curls, not kinky. Still trying to figure out how to deal with curly hair, but it is back, thicker and healthier than before. Short hair is not that bad after all!
