Prayers Needed

[Angela]

Ok, tomorrow is the big day. My 1st day of chemo...round 2. For those who don't know, I found out before Christmas that the cancer is back. It is in my lung. I am really nervous about tomorrow, I guess because I really don't want the chemo. Why can't they just give me herceptin and see if that will work before pulling out the heavy duty stuff. I know I need to do it but it just seems so hard this time. Please pray that I will not chicken out and that I will not cry (I hate to cry infront of people). Ok enough of this....as my new saying goes...put on your big girl panties and deal with. So I'll put them on in the morning and head off to my 6 hour treatment with a smile on my face (even if it is a fake smile).

Hope everyone is doing well,
Angela

I will pray for you now as I read your post Angela. Please try and relax and let Him take control of your fears. He is really good at it.

Sincerely,
Tom

Dear Angela,
Oh, I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. By now, tho, I assume you will have made it through with flying colors. Of course you don't want chemo - the whole idea of it all is just so apppalling.

Keep your chin up - your life is worth fighting for with all the best weaponry.

Hugs
Chris

Angela,

Sorry you have to go through chemo again. We all know what a drag it is. Keep a stiff upper lip. You'll get through it with flying colors. You're in my prayers.

Angela,

Just remember, the heavy duty stuff will give the Herceptin a power boost!

Go to Victoria's Secret afterward and indulge yourself with some awesome big girl panties!

We'll all be here for you.

Angela,


Keep your chin up....the fight is worth fighting ! I am hoping today went ok for you, and you find a comfy couch and a big blanket for this weekend.

Hang in there Angela. I,too, found out right before Christmas that my cancer is back. I don't know where yours is or what kind of chemo regimen you will be on, but think positive that this will get things under control and you will be dancing with NED before you know it. You are in my prayers.

[kimber]

I wish that you did not have to go through all of this again.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!! I am and will continue to pray for you. Kick some ass woman!! We are all here - we all have got your back! - kim

Angela,


You are in my prayers. I am sorry that you have to start chemo again, but you have to do it. It will bring you back to NED. Stay strong sweetie.

Hugs and Prayers,
Lexi

You have done it before and you can do it again. I will keep white light and prayers coming your way. End the day with A hot bath, warm blanket and a good movie. I just had my first treatment on Wed. and these things seem to keep everything at bay. Good luck.

[Joy]

You WILL get through this and many of us have experienced that feeling of "no, not again" fear and anger. But we all also know the joys of everyday life and how worth it the fight is. PAMPER yourself and let others pamper you too!

Hi Angela,
Stay strong! I know it must be super difficult to go through chemo again. Your sisters here are praying for you.

There you go girl! Big panties that's what we all need to continue treatment. You will do well, me too have mets to rt lung and have been on chemo and herceptin since 2003 (off and on). I started xeloda yesterday, so far so good...

Take care.

[sarah]

Angela,
You've got it, count on mine. and cry if you want to, yell if you want to - get all that fear and sadness out and then get back to the fight. chemo and herceptin are a powerful cocktail. stay strong.
love and hugs

Hoping all went okay with the chemo treatment and keep up the big girl panties attitude. It certainly isn't easy at times but the alternative isn't good either. Stay strong and know that you have a lot of prayers from so many. Keep us updated.

[daughter]

Hang in there Angela. I hope it's not as bad this time. My mom also
started her second round of chemo this Wednsday. She got taxol and carboplatin and did OK so far. She wasn't nauseous and had the
energy to go for a walk after the treatment with her dog. :-)
I keep fighting for her to get herceptin without succes so far.
I wish you all the best - keep us posted how it went.
Sending you positive thoughts
Nina

Angela,

I hope the chemo went well today. You are in my thoughts and prayers to get through this second round of chemo.

Angela, hope you're feeling ok after your first day of the second round in this fight. I will never forget my first day of treatment after recurrence. I "felt" Herceptin and Navelbine working against the cancer, and by the next morning felt the cancer nodules were smaller and softer...maybe my "imagination" but after 6 months I was in remission, so I'm wishing a great response for you too! You'll do fine, and we'll be here to celebrate with you!

<3 Lolly

Best wishes. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep up the fight!

[MGordon]

You can do it and all of us here will continue to support you in your fight...

And by the way, cry ALL you need to and do not worry about others. Maybe through your tears you can actually reach out to someone, gain and/give support and make a new friend!

Lisa had a rating system for her days. She had her APPLE days, because apples are firm and crisp and good. She had her ORANGE days, not quite as crisp and you had to work to peel through the day but it was still sweet. Her LEMON days that even as she tried to peel through the day it could be sour instead of sweet. And lastly she had her ONION days - days that no matter how many layers she peeled away were days full of tears.

Looking back, I think it was almost always on her ONION days that she would meet someone new, reach out to them and they would comfort each other. Never be afraid to cry - by crying you are revealing your humanity and opening yourself up to recieve more love.

Angela, so sorry you are having to go through this again. This is my biggest fear that the cancer will return. I will be praying for you. Just keep a very positive attitude, and put those "big girl panties" on. Every one on this list is so courageous and brave. I know you can be too.
