Aw shucks, Chrisy. Crap on a huge Texas-sized CRAPSTICK (channeling Brenda here :) ). I have been wondering. Well, it's off to the book store for me! I have been so busy with clients and my mom, I haven't been able to run down. Hope and faith are everything (and a fine medical team). I have no problem whatsoever with bold prayers. Raising a ruckus on your behalf.

Re: Chemo Failure #3...now I'm doing what???
 

Hi Chrisy,

I just wanted to say I am thinking about you. From so many responses, I see you are so loved. Let's blow up those cells to smithereens.

Take care,

Jackie

Chrisy,
I'm thinking you COULD rethink T-DM1 with Perjeta, although T-DM1 is approved as single line only. We know it's all about combos--can you check with Dr. Rugo tomorrow?
Love you
Karen

Re: Chemo Failure #3...now I'm doing what???
 

So glad Laurel thought to bring back the crapstick! Definitely indicated.
Keep the faith

Re: Chemo Failure #3...now I'm doing what???
 

Not happy reading, but look at the response! We will all be thinking of you and sending powerful vibes your way.May the love and support shown here carry you through the TACE and to stability.
Warm wishes..... Pam

Hey!

Still "KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCKIN' on heaven's door!"

Stay strong...but don't forget to lean..on Him, on Dr. Rugo, on your WONDERFUL husband...and on all of us!!

We love you, Chris!

Leaning indeed, Denise!


Here I am, slamming down a banana and a chocolate protein Odwalla shake at 6:45 am (which of course feels like 5:45 because of daylight savings time) because I can't eat anything after 7 am. My TACE procedure is scheduled for 1pm and knowing how challenging it came be to get fed at Casa Parnassas (UCSF's finest hospital/spa) I figured I'd better get something in my system. Of course I may not feel like eating later anyway!

I'll be bringing all your prayers and good wishes with me this morning...

Re: Chemo Failure #3...now I'm doing what???
 

It's going to be crowded, what with all our spirits in there beside you. Keep the faith

Re: Chemo Failure #3...now I'm doing what???
 

Thinking of you Christy !

Re: Chemo Failure #3...now I'm doing what???
 

Chrisy, you are in my thoughts. I hope the procedure will not be too difficult.
Hugs. Michka

YOU HAVEN'T FAILED, you're just
 

Chrisy! You haven't failed. You, like Edison, have just found over 100 ways how not to invent the light bulb. Or in your case, defeat those dastardly tumors.

You will succeed! Absolutely. I know you'll never give up.

I am always thinking of you. Like for years and years. Like for nearly a decade!! Even when I'm not posting. Since the moment I first found you here -- you shine lady! You sparkle.

I was going to leave a message for you, cause I've heard of some alternative therapy that might help. BOWEN. I googled it and have been in contact w/a head guru out there in California. He is our kind of guy. Direct, informed, sharp, witty and has potentially healing hands.

He gave me a list of Florida practitioners for me and my cronies down here.

When he said California, I immediately thought of -- YOU! And gorgeous Flori. Two of my most favorite people on the planet!! You're pretty darn adorable yourself. Focus on sights from Yosemite, Chrisy. Dwell in Life's sweetness.

Now, coming to send you a PM, I am reading your post, and seeing allllllllllll the love and prayers and energy being sent your way. I am disappointed to say the least about your news. You're scheduled to be FINE. You're our conqueror and Super Shero! This was not supposed to happen. So I am supercharging my personal contribution to YOU, our cause, cause we love you so much. I am tossing copious amounts of love, prayers and energy directly to you, over there, as you are apparently having the docs send a message to those stubborn tumors that will obliterate them forever! AHA!

I am also sending you multiple hugs and my wishes for a speedy recovery. Maybe Bali can wait till after Bowen.
Just a thought.

I know I am here because of more than mainstream medicine. And I believe you are open to it all. (Like maybe my detoxifying liver supplements...) There's no one magic bullet. It's a recipe. Tailor-made for you, and your particular bc. It's a cocktail.

Meditation, visualization + imagery, mantras, blah, blah... It all serves to get us well and healthy and keep us there. I know you already live with -- love, compassion, kindness, caring, gratitude and humor (all necessary ingredients for success). So you have that going for you. Plus you're strong, brave and determined. In fact you're one of the strongest, bravest most determined human beings I've ever encountered. You awe me, Chrisy! Always have.

I love you ever so much. Admire you beyond words. You never fail to delight me. (Though, gotta say, this last post was most unwelcome.) However, very glad you wisely chose to share with all your Sisters. So we could boost you up, and keep you afloat.

Another pair of hands here helping to lit you up. I hope the procedure goes well and you don't feel too icky after. Lets get these Genentech guys onto curing this for you (and us!)
Saying a prayer for you.

Re: Chemo Failure #3...now I'm doing what???
 

I'm sorry you had progression but you are doing super good! I was dx'd with mets not 2 years ago and had 7 chemos and a liver resection fail me. If I read your sig right, you've been going since 2004? That is awesome. Something is going right for you and I hope it continues to do so!

TDM1 is my hope right now as I can do no more chemo treatments, they are killing me. I tolerated them so well until now too.

Sounds like you are getting top of the line care with the new treatment and I hope it goes well and works for a long time. *hugs*

Re: Chemo Failure #3...now I'm doing what???
 

Hope all goes well today Chrisy, we are all thinking of you. Stupid cancer. Xx

Re: Chemo Failure #3...now I'm doing what???
 

I hope the procedure went well! Sending lots of good thoughts for a quick and easy recovery, and, of course, for the obliteration of the mets!
