Cancer Support and Caregivers Who Are Trail Blazers!

Novelafemme · 05-20-2013, 09:37 AM

A beautiful friend passed away last night from ovarian cancer. She fought so incredibly hard all the way and willed herself to stay alive to see her oldest daughter graduate from college and her youngest son from high school...both on the same day.

The world is a little less bright today but the angels have another sister to dance with. I love you T and I miss you already.

So sorry to hear about your friend Novelafemme.
I honor that fight and the respect she earns as she journey's through this life to another.

struggling a bit today.

Its been 18 months since the last chemo. I am coming into the 2-3 yr time frame that mets most likely happen at. A friend at work was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months before me and she had a seizure at work last Monday and she has brain mets and was told 6 months. My staging and grade was higher than her's. SOOO I go this Friday for blood work (which was off last time a couple months ago and there was activity mid cervical on an xray) and I have been having some concerns, like headaches, energy, night sweats, small lump on neck. I hope its just canceritis and I am only scaring myself. I want this fear to go away. I don't like having fear over something I have NO control over. I think I need a hot bath and meditation.

I will be breast cancer free (depends on who you go by the oncologist/the surgeon who removed the tumor/ the radiologist) But I go by the date I received the news Dec 7 2010. My next scan will be in two weeks. I start getting a little anxiety by the last week before the scan. My health has been great. I have turned my life around inside & out. I believe in the power of positive thinking. My caregiver was my ex gf who did the best she could for me. I was a terrible VERY terrible patient for her. I won my battle with cancer but lost her. It was a terrible time in my life before during & after. We didn't have a shot in hell. I used to blame the end of our relationship on the cancer but even though I do believe it played a part in it. I was the reason for it ending. I was angry bitter and selfish. I only hope she is now happy and knows I did appreciate her helping me through one of the toughest times in my life and know she will always carry a piece of my heart with her. All caregivers are truly angels in disguise.

Wow! It sounds like you are describing my cancer experience. We have a lot in common. I applaud your honesty about your part in the process. I agree about positive thinking. Sounds like you have done a loit of good internal work---congratulations on continuing good health. Jeano

I had my two procedures on the 29th. Things went well with both. My lovely fiancee' was with me for the week....she really took excellent care of me, too! I am truly blessed!

Awaiting results of two biopsies taken...Am remaining positive!

Thank you to each one of you here...who offer your kind words, warm hugs, and support. This means the world to me. I miss all of you, think of you often....

Warm hugs and much love to you all....

Oh, gosh, Deb. I'm so sorry. I would be worried too. But, YES, it IS just canceritis! Keep your head up and keep the faith!

(I know, easier said than done). :-(

yes think positive! I know how you feel. and find support. I had but one person who supported me. it was not enough. I finally joined a support group and I am glad I did. FINALLY people that know what it was like physically & emotionally. Even after the battle. People don't realize there are no fireworks going off inside of you just because the battle is over. inside it has just begun. If you need to talk I am here.
