And you do have to keep asking questions, but it's like having Lance Berkman step up to the plate on your behalf (well, maybe not this year)...:) You will know you have the very best treatment. I know two people (out of two) who have been prescribed the course of treatment you seem to be on and they've both done fabulously well. I know you will, too. We're all pulling for you.Babette Fraser Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801971149305731956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212684924096788815.post-46747217336537703772009-09-16T10:52:23.977-05:002009-09-16T10:52:23.977-05:00Last post September 1.

I had several lymph nodes involved and lookie me - I am still buying green bananas..I am still worrying about how I'll look when I'm 83..I am still happy about not having sagging breasts when I'm 83..which, by the way is only 23 years away...<br />Seriously, email me anytime. I have been there and done that and it's not all fun and games. I've learned along the way to let people help me..to feel sorry for myself once in a while..to enjoy not having to shave ANYTHING for the entire chemo regime..to have a "no cancer day" at LEAST once a week - a day off - no talk of doctors..of illness..of cancer at ALL and learned that a bad-hair day beats a no-hair day anytime!<br /><br />You can do this. We can do this.<br /><br />Welcome to the sisterhood. We do care. We're in this together.<br /><br />(Loved your photos - keep 'em coming!)Colleen - the AmAzINg Mrs. Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230264141748182037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212684924096788815.post-15521879180660381592009-09-02T22:27:26.613-05:002009-09-02T22:27:26.613-05:00I ma still saying my prayers for you!I ma still saying my prayers for you!Free Art Printableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11039092552330624383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212684924096788815.post-78726704097242130272009-09-02T20:59:15.987-05:002009-09-02T20:59:15.987-05:00I am thinking of you and praying for you!

Those odds ar...Okay...tough talk for a tough woman! Those odds aren't bad, sweetie! I wonder what the odds are that a 63 year old without tumors will live for another 10 years? I have been researching for that fact, but can't find it. All I know is this:<br /><br />1. You are at the best cancer hospital in the world!<br />2. You found your cancer before it spread too badly!<br />3. You are tough!<br />4. You have SO MANY friends who love you and are praying for you!<br />5. Miracles happen every day...especially with the power of prayer!<br />6. Your positive attitude, sense of humor, faith and hope will take you a long, long way! <br />7. You need to keep your head full of positive thoughts, so I am going to provide you with a few:<br /><br />---"FEAR can keep us up all night long, but FAITH makes one fine pillow"<br /><br />---"FAITH is the bird that feels the light and and sings when the dawn is still dark"<br /><br />---"Take the first step in Faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." (Martin Luther King Jr.)<br /><br />I will be back. I have to digest and think. I am here for you! Don't ever underestimate the power of love, prayer and friendship!<br /><br />You are a survivor, my friend!<br /><br />MalisaMalisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716280057476425463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212684924096788815.post-39373483461220118822009-09-01T21:16:27.618-05:002009-09-01T21:16:27.618-05:00Cher, I gotta tell you that I'm having a hard ...Cher, I gotta tell you that I'm having a hard time getting past those boot-sneakers.

It's a good thing you can do absolutely anything you put your mind to...Texas tough, remeber. We'll continue praying and you continue fighting!<br /><br />You'll come out the winner. I'm sure of it!<br /><br />By the way, does your doctor know he's famous now?

Why do I think that is "good" because look at what the "mircles of modern medicine" come up with every day! Don't you EVER give up, don't you ever settle, and don't you ever lose "hope" which is my favorite word. Because if you do my friend, my mom's Texas blood will come out in me and I will have to travel to Texas to personally kick your ass! Deal?
