Hi Sandi. Did you get your scan results? Thinking of you. Love, Chris

Wow, it is crazy how similar our stories are. Although you have bad reactions at times, Im glad the treatment is still working. How long were you on it befor you saw any shrinkage?

Thank you SandiA
The cancer I have is very rare and aggressive. It only occurs in like only 600 or 700 a year.
Thank you for your assistance.

Sandi I just read your inspirational story from the post Greg put on the pinboard. Thanks for sharing. You give us hope. God bless.

So glad you're doing well, Sandi! Enjoyed reading your story!

I agree, it is so disappointing with cancer interrupts our life. I will pray for you.

Just want to stop by and offer a big hug. I saw your one word answer of scared. I am sorry. And I will be praying for you.

Darling, I have had stomach trouble since my 20s. Don't blame yourself for that. It's hard and embarrassing. I had almost 6 months of being able to eat water, broth, a teaspoon of boiled white rice several times a day. During this time, small amounts of Campbell's chicken noodle soup was added to my diet, Then it would take me about 2 days to eat a baked sweet potato.Then I went back to my Cream of Wheat. After 90 days, the doctors found a med that slowed down the diarrhea and pains- I'd sweat from the cramps. My medical chart had---same as CHOLERA PATIENT-NON CONTAGIOUS on the front.
I'm ashamed of the comments about you should be eating healthy. My blood sugar was very low-and I sipped unfizzed coke and ginger ale in small amounts---as sugar still bothers my stomach. At the end while I was getting well, my husband baked a box cake. I ate the whole thing in a few hours-no frosting. He was so mad-He told the doctor about that, and the doctor told my husband that it proved that I was truely ill. If it was in my head or make believe-I would not have sat down and ate the whole cake. My gastrentologist told my husband that it was because my stomach and body was crying for help-and I should be dead-let her eat cake. Something got settled and I quit eating cake.

I've been eating Cream of Wheat for breakfast since 1965-no milk-no sugar, i I could digest it. One doctor said that was boring-how could anybody do that? If I can start the day off right- make my tummy happy, I usually can get through the day without problems. I asked him if he'd eat pancakes-eggs-or what and then be tethered to the toilet and be covered with sweat from pain-- He said- Cream of Wheat-----

We all have bad days, where we don't think well. I told this person that I wouldn't reply to any of her comments. I think that she must have been born having bad days---There are times that I say things that are hurtful, and I usually don't mean it. If I realize it, I apologize.

PS-- My family told my problem relative not to come-they told everybody not to come- Somehow I cut my cornea while sleeping, so I spent the day on the couch, facing the back of the couch, and a blanket over my head listeing to Ralphie's effort to get his Red Rydeer BB gun. I also had ice packs on my eye. Alarms for when to put antibiotic drops in the eye, alrams to put ice on and then remove the ice.

I hope thay both of our New Years goes better.
