Update on our dear Kate (Tousled1)
 

Sorry to let you all know that our dear Kate is back in the hospital. She was taken yesterday ealy in the morning by ambulance with severe short of breath, also vomiting and diarrhea. The short of breath is because of inflammation in the lungs, and she was given steroid. The vomiting and the diarrhea is because of the new combo Tykerb/Xeloda that she started on Tuesday, so she stopped taking it for now.
When I spoke with her, she said she was feeling much better. She sounded good, and she was in good spirits. As you all know, she is very strong, and she is a fighter, and she is ready to fight again.
I feel so sad that she is going through all this, and she does not have a break. She is a wonderful person, very caring and very supportive, as you all know, and a great friend too. I was blessed to meet her here in this board.
Kate needs our prayers again for her to get better soon, and for this new combo to work fast so that she will have that deserved break.
Please, keep the prayers coming, and may God bless you all beautiful people.

Lots of love to you Kate.

Dear Kate
I do hope this is a brief setback...you need a break Kate....keeping you close at heart and in my prayers.

I am so very sorry to hear that Kate had to be taken to the Hospital

Many, many BIG PRAYERS going out for her.

Thanks for letting us know.

Giant prayers is right! And belief that the combo will do it's work without all the side effects. Kate, we love you and know that no heart beats stronger with courage and caring than yours does. Your smile is a national treasure to those of us who benefit from it so often and so well! We're cheering for you and can't wait to hear that "all is well" message! ma

I'm so sorry to hear that our Kate is having such a hard time. All of us on this board are praying extra hard, Kate you do deserve a break. I'm keeping you in my prayers constantly and praying for a great combo that will do the job and not make you so sick. In the meantime, waiting(not so patiently) for you to come back to the board. We love you!
Hugs

Kate, just want you to know that we are praying for you. Take it easy. And take care.

And Karla V, make sure you get plenty of rest. Staying up at 3:47 am is not a good idea. But, that's also the beauty of this board - we can communicate any time. Thanks for updating Kate's situation for us.

Dear Kate,
I am sending you all the positive thoughts and prayers I can muster! Hope you will get to feeling much better,SOON!
