I'm getting really worried. I sent a message to her email address and haven't heard back. Does anybody know where she lives? Last name? Phone #? It's hard to find that kind of info from the Netherlands, Europe.

Love

Jacqueline

I sent and received many e-mails then suddenly no reply. She had been having a hard time on the chemo and I am now really worried as we have not heard from her. I don't know what else to do as it's difficult to find details out from England also.
Ellie

I wonder if Joe or Christine have a member list with last names and contact information? I wonder if they can contact her?
I think she lives in California. If you can get a last name you can do a search on http://www.pipl.com
and try to get her contact information. You can also try http://www.whitepages.com.
I hope she is just busy or her computer is out of order.

Still nothing since the 6th on the other board.

Hi Guys ~
I will call her...sorry I didn't see this earlier..and let you all know.
Love,
Ruth

I just tried calling her and the phone line was all weird so I am thinking she is having internet/dsl problems. I will call again tomorrow. The phone line was full of static. I have a feeling she is OK but having internet problems.

Love,

Ruth

Thanks, Ruth! I was just getting ready to say that I thought that Chelee did have computer problems from time to time and that we should give her a few more days to get it straight before we saddled up the dogs to run up there.

I'm ok...just alot going on. I'll let Jacqueline feel you in. I need to get to bed have a bone scan early. I'm having problems with my lungs mixed in with all kinds of things. I'll get it sorted out some how. I always welcome prayers for the clear scans and this lung problem. Thanks everyone.

Chelee

Chelee,

Glad to hear from you. Hope you have a good day. I have missed you being on the board.

Hi Chelee,

It's good to see you posting. I am sorry that you are dealing with more health issues, but relieved to see you here. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers right now.

Hugs,
Lexi

Glad to hear from you, I was so scared to read this post.

All the best, hoping you get everything sorted out

Dawn

Dear Chelee,

So good to hear from you! Adding my prayers for you to feel better soon and have clean results for the scan and lung issues.

hugs,
shobha

Dear Chelee, I am happy to have news although I am sorry you are reporting more worries. I hope the scans will be good. I am keeping you in my thoughts. Hugs. Michka

Chelee,

I am thinking about you and praying that you will get clear scans.

Julie

Praying for answers and successful treatment.

Thanks for checking in Chelee. Get plenty of rest and take good care of yourself over the weekend, so you will be ready to do whatever you have to do about the latest bumps in the road towards good health.

Hi all,
Chelee wrote to me privately, and I am not sure how much she wants me to share. She is having trouble breathing, but the lung X-rays were clear. She's going back for more tests. She's on oxygen and she's exhausted, worried about how she will be able to have her chemo if the lung problem doesn't clear up.

She didn't want to post about all this, as she didn't want to worry us. Ofcourse we got even more worried because of her silence, so that didn't work.

You might as well post about everything Chelee. ;-))) That's what we're here for anyway; for helping you carry the burden of worrying and fretting. You may not have noticed, but we care about you. A lot.

Love

Jacqueline

I have to mention that x-rays can sometimes miss clear mucous build-up. My father was thought to be having a heart attack since he was having trouble oxygenating and his recent x-ray was clear. After they found nothing wrong with his heart via angiography and were stumped, they did a broncoscopy and discovered copious amounts of clear mucous.
I know Chelee had post-taxotere pulmonary issues. I think I shared this with her a while back:

Docetaxel-induced interstitial pneumonitis following non-small-cell lung cancer treatment

(1) Servicio de OncologÃ*a MÃ©dica, Hospital Meixoeiro. Complejo Hospitalario y Universitario de Vigo, ES-36200 Vigo, Spain Received: 8 March 2007 Accepted: 18 June 2007 Published online: 21 October 2007
Abstract Interstitial pneumonitis has been described infrequently following administration of docetaxel, used alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents or concurrent irradiation, for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This toxicity is of special relevance in NSCLC, as clinical severity and differential diagnosis may be especially challenging. It seems to be due to type I and type IV hypersensitivity reactions to the drug. Clinical and radiographic features are nonspecific and diagnosis is made by exclusion. The rate of grade III–IV docetaxel-induced pneumonitis, ranging from 7 to 47%, depends on several factors, including total dose, chemotherapy schedule and especially concomitant docetaxel treatment with gemcitabine and radiotherapy. Although the usual outcome is cure, it sometimes eventually progresses to pulmonary fibrosis despite steroid treatment. This toxicity must be taken into account when planning treatment strategies for NSCLC in order to reduce its rate and to achieve prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Chelee, will be praying and thinking of you.

Chelee,

Hanging with you, Girlfriend. I'll keep you in my prayers. I think Rich may be on to something. Hope you saw the post.
