kalindria

Glad you had a good day today.Feeling stronger and taking care of business.How was your trip to Tahoe?

Hi Kalindria, thank you so much for the warm welcome. So I still have yet to read your Journey but I guess I was more excited on replying to you. Its so funny how things work out sometimes. Just 2 days ago I was on my Iphone trying to find some answers and support to some of my concerns, and after 45 minutes of reading and research I found this website leaving me with a huge sense of relief because I came to find out that I was not alone. And that in itself was a huge help. So anyway, I see that you8 are still receiving chemo rounds and radiation. How close to the end are you and how do you feel about your treatment?

Hi Kalindria!
Thanks so much for your reply. I'm happy to know of your progress. Sigh, still overwhelmed and struggling to figure out what to do.
Summer

Hi Crazy Lady,alway happy to read your posts.Hope you are enjoying the summer,I am about to escape up to the mountains for two weeks where it is cooler.Good luck growing back the hair,take care.

Hi Kalindria! Thanks for posting such a kind, encouraging message! I am still in shock in many ways, as I was diagnosed @6 weeks ago and had debunking surgery 1 month ago. I have never had a health problem before (other than some depression) and felt put to the test, even in terms of dealing with the pain, JP drain, Foley, etc. It is overwhelming trying to naked oneself aware of options, approaches, even finding the right oncologist, etc. I now know more and have questions about what was done, as well as well as all the steps now. I have read the Block book, the David Serban Shreiver book, Don Abrams' Integrative Oncology. I am trying to maximize supplements and nutrition, but there are quite variable notions of nutrition from different writers. I think I need to push on along these avenues, but still develop some peace of mind at the same time.... I'm very happy to hear of your remission- congratulations- keep up the excellent work!

Hi
Hope your day wasn't too bad?
Try to get some rest tonight
XOXO

Hi kalindria, no my surgery was not robotic.Doctor was not planning on such a large incision but on the debulking surgery thought he saw something up further so made the incision.Thank goodness he did because I had a small growth on my diaphram which he removed.

Hi kalindria,wondering how you have been. See that you are quite active on the site and that is wonderful.Noticed your WBC low ,that happened to me also just before my last treatment.Read you went out without anything on your head.You are pretty brave,have not been able to do that yet.Take care,all the best.

You are so pretty and nice.
Thank you for helping thousands and thousands of us What Nexter's.
Love and Aloha, Katie Williams

Kalindria,
You look beautiful! I think I will take photos also as my journey begins. Sending a warm cyber hug.

KALINDRIA we are so much alike. I, too, am Kaiser. I too have gout, but have a very hard time getting assistance with pain. Prior to surgery, my surgeon and pre op doc were.fabulous. they gave me norco. I got thirty pills and still have 26. I lived on ibuprophen which over time was doing harm to me so they took me off from it. Now a year later, I am able to tolerate ibuprofen again but am no longer living on it 24/7. Overall, I have been pleased with my.Kaiser care. I can see how those that don't hAve KAiser could be bankrupt.

Hope you are doing well. I am going back to work on Tuesday for just six hours.per week. Not much, but it is a start.

Hugs,

Jane

Hey
Keep loving your daughter, if the dinosaur books made you laugh that's a wonderful thing.

Sometimes I believe the people closes to us don't understand our humor at times, but hey they will

Keep laughing

Just stopping by to send you hugs, healing vibes and prayers. Sorry you won't be able to share your B;day party with your grandson. But I hope and pray that your treatment will allow you celebrate many decades of shared birthdays going forward.

Hi Kalindria. Wanted to tell you that I just read your blog (just a bump in the road). Very inspirational. I'm glad to see you're so busy, supported and positive !. . .stay that way, bet you'll do just fine : ) Thanks for sharing your story and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

I'm thinking that it's a cultural thing- Vietnamese and Chinese are very nosy- My personal opinion is that it was somebody from the former Soviet Block-they just don't let go-and have weird ideas. Also the lack of understanding English words could be a factor. Some people quickly loose an accent, but they still don't know much. Like in the Ukraine, their main staple is pork lard mixed with flour, nuts, raisins, and they eat that. Even if the Russians weren't pushing in the door, and I was rich, I don't think that I'd visit my Internet friends in the Ukraine-eating baby squids in Spain and vietnam is bad enough-but lard?

Hi Kalindria, Just wanted to say how you touched me in your comment....

I just wanted to thank you for your support and for 'liking' my comment to that woman who has been harassing me. My post was in response to a post that she put on my wall after I had asked her to leave me alone a few times, but she keeps trying to get me into some sort of an argument or debate and I am simply refusing to engage with her. I did complain to WhatNext and it looks like they have removed some of her comments so I am happy about that, and hopefully the moderator here will guard against things like this happening again because the vast majority of people here are wonderful, like yourself! :-) I always love reading your post and thank you again for supporting me. But how did you even know to read her wall? Take care! xoxoxoxo

Weekly chemo? I'm in awe, yet you sound "perky" and with it. You give great info.

Hi there
How are you doing. How has things been, I know all has been well with you and your family.

I know you probably had a great Easter. Just dropping in saying hello.

Smooches

Yes that's great, show the world what your made of.
Go with your bad self, so proud of you

Tank

STAY STRONG EVEN THOUGH SOMETIMES VERY HARD. WISH I HAD SOME ENERGY. SO TIRED ALL THE TIME.

Diann

I hope you had a great Easter. I have a question for you-when you first were initially diagnosed, did the thought to just give up ever cross your mind? My wife has mentioned it to me a few times, and every time she does it breaks my heart

Thank you
Steve

Hi Diann, Great to hear from you. I am having a great day - for once, it's not raining in the northwest!

Noticed that you were interested in how to live with cancer. One thing that has been a tremendous help to me is a metastatic support group. Being with a group of women who are also Stage IV gives you a freedom to be honest about your feelings and hear how other women deal with those same feelings. Are there support groups in your area?

Hugs, Betsy

Thank you so much Kalindria for you sweet words! XOXO I've had 3 primary cancers and 3 primary auto immune diseases, I guess I have had a lot of experience to pass around! ugh! XOXO

Hi, thank you for the welcome. I am also settling with my routine treatments and I also luv my doctor and the team. I enjoy and really appreciate this site and I thank you for sharing your experience with me.

Thank you for opening your self for questions and just reaching out. It means the world to me because I look at life so different like I'm looking through a whole new lens

Hugs, back at ya

Thanks for the advice on the websites that give a free scarf. I didn't know anything about it before you mentioned it.

Thank you, Kalindria, for following me; I hope I do not lead you into a wall - blind leading the blind style, so to speak!!

But seriously, so many on this site have helped me, and I am so grateful for the overwhelming gifts I have been given through cancer; love, friendship, support, help - the list is endless! I feel that I have so much to give, "paying it forward", that I cannot repay! But I will share the love and joy that I have found through cancer. Isn't that bizarre?! Finding JOY through cancer? Chemo brain MUST have attacked whatever brain cells were left unscathed! But it's true!

Anyway, we are about the same age; we share a similar disease, and I also received taxol and carboplatin. I'd be interested in hearing your story; how you dealt with it.

Be well. My faith is strong, and has gotten stronger through this fight. May God, the Universe - whatever Higher Power you believe in - heal you and protect you!

Love to you, sister survivor!

Linda
