Hey Kathy,
I'm praying that everything works out in the end for you. Know that we are all going to keep you in our daily prayers. Good luck and keep a positive attitude, many people have beaten this menace. "May the wind always be at your back, and the sun upon your face."

Dear KathyC
I do believe in the collective power of prayers.
I just prayed for you. Words are simply not sufficient enough in situations like these. My humble suggestion is that we set a date and time where we can all as group pause and say a prayer or send up positive wishes for you.
My wife was dx with Cancer a year and a half ago. I am happy to say we are now cancer free. I am thankful to the physicians, nurses and specialist and prayers that were spoken on her behalf. Btw she is a great person to speak to, I truly believe it is now her purpose in life to encourage and strengthen others in similar situations.

I love you, and always keep you in my prayers! I am now thanking our Lord & Savior for your complete healing for I know He's got this!;) BTW, radiation is a good thing. My oncologist hit my cancer with all that was available nine years ago. Yes, I have been cancer FREE for the past 9 years. So you see if God did this for me, I KNOW He will do it for you!
Much love, and many hugs & kisses my love

I haven't logged on in several months so I'm just seeing this post and I'm stunned.

Kathy, you've been such an integral part of the MR community for as long as I've been a reefer so when I think of MR you are always one of the first people who comes to mind. You've greeted me warmly at every MR swap making each one extra special by virtue of your presence (and our shared love of shrooms) :smile: . And you conduct a raffle like no other human being!

Please know that I'm thinking of you and sending healing vibes your way. Hang tough my friend. If anyone can beat this it's you.

Update...


Apologies for the long delay on posting an update. Between the meds and trying to keep on working (I miss a couple of weeks per month, and thank goodness there is FMLA so I get to keep my job (for now anyway..) I'm wiped out a lot of the time..chemo basically sucks, but again..as long as it is killing cancer cells, I'm cool with it...
As always, I so enjoy reading the posts on here and even more appreciate all of the love and PRAYERS (!!!!) that I feel coming through. I have no doubt they have been a huge help in this battle.

I've had some challenges with the chemo as the treatment has gone on. I managed through all my years to never end up taking an ambulance ride yet I've been in them twice over the last 5 weeks when my blood pressure drops a tad too low to keep me upright. They aren't quite sure what is causing it to happen but we are trying 3 different changes on this current round of chemo to see if we can avoid it this time around. I sure hope so, I'm a nervous wreck about it...

I am currently in the last of the 6 planned rounds of chemo (today is the final day!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!), then we wait a few weeks and repeat the PET Scan and after the Doc views those results he will decide if he is sending me on for Radiation or not.

Our hope is the PET scan again shows that it cannot 'see' any activity of cancer in it's findings (I have found out THAT is what 'resolved' means ... not necessarily that the cancer is 'gone' (as in forever..cause no doctor will ever tell you that with a small cell cancer like I have). If there is so much as a single cell of it left when they are done treating, it can & will grow back over time. Unfortunately PET scans won't see a single cell...only once there are enough to show up...so I will have frequent scans to watch for any new growth and then we will begin treatment again.

This is where all of those prayers come in...so please keep 'em coming! :)

:hug: to you ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never been a praying type of guy Kath, but you've got every ounce of well wishes and positive thoughts I've got in me going your way.

Your amazing strength and fortitude shine through your posts. Keep up the positive spirits and you'll beat the crap out of that cancer.

GO TEAM KATHY!!!!
