Update on Kate (Tousled1)
 

I am sorry to let you all know that our dear friend Kate is back in the hopital since Wednesday, I just found out today.
She was taken to the ER with severe pain in her left leg, she could not move her leg, her leg was cold and with no pulse. They found two blood clots, one in her foot, one in her calf, so they did an emergency surgery to remove the clots. The scary part was that before she went into surgery, the doctor told her that he was not sure if he could save her leg. Thanks God everything went well for her. Since her leg is very swallen, her doctor suspended Xeloda for now until her leg is healed, but she will continue taking Tykerb and Ixempra. She thinks this combo is working, because she feels less congested, and her short of breath is getting better too.
She is in good spirits, and her Irish fighting spirit is strong as always (she is our Kate, the Great), but again she needs our prayers, so please, keep the prayers coming her way.
Thank you, wonderful people. May God bless you all.

Kavy,

Thank you so much for keeping us in the loop on Kate....they may want her to increase her activity after this as I know she was resting quite a bit after the pneumonia bout, making her more prone to DVT's....as does chemo...send her my love and as always my prayers.

Sorry to hear about Kate. Will say an extra special prayer for her.

Dear Kavy,

Thanks so much for updating us on Kate. Please tell her Mary Jo says hello, my prayers are with her and I was sorry to hear about this recent relapse. BUT, you are right Kavy, she is our KATE THE GREAT and I don't doubt she will pull through this also with flying colors. I just wish she didn't have to keep proving that she is KATE THE GREAThttp://www.her2support.org/vbulletin...cons/icon7.gif

Serioulsy Kate, I ask God to heal and comfort you and to continue to give you the strength you'll need to get through this time of healing.

Love to you dear, sweet sister.....

Thank you for updating us on Kate. Sending prayers her way to keep her strong and may she heal quickly.

Dearest Kate,

My most heartfelt prayers go out to you today. You are such a strong person. Really, you're amazing. I wish you a speedy recovery and that you are home soon.

So glad to know that the surgery went OK for our dear Kate!
Thanks for that news, Kavy. Especially that her breathing was getting better. I have been worrying about that.

Like Sheila mentioned, I hope they will give her some physical therapy that will keep her a little more active. Those clots are a threat to any of us when we are fatigued and inactive from treatments.

Keep slaying the dragons, Kate.

Thanks Kavy for keeping us updated on our dear Kate the Great -
I am sending out extra prayers today for Kate.

all the best

Thanks so much for the update but I wish the news was better. Kate is such a tough warrior I know she'll come thru this with her usual big smile and great attitude. Please tell her that I'm keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.
hugs to you Kate

Thanks so much, Karla, for letting us know. Kate is ALWAYS in my heart and on my mind. I am ALWAYS sending prayers to her and for her. I am ever amazed by her beautiful Spirit. This woman lives with joy and hope despite it all. But, you know God, we'd all appreciate it if you'd give this brave warrior a break. She has proven her faith with the most outstandingly loving ways time and again. Our Katie is due for a great reward. Please grant her healing and wellness. I am sending big hugs and even more prayers for you sweet Sister...
