~Mighty Oak~Tumor Numbers Back On The Rise Again~Uggh!!
 

Nothing we can do at the moment because he needs a chemo break to recup, but marker sensitive Ed has TM on the rise again. I have been so depressed since returning from vacation. Today we had a conversation about doing some more travelling while he is feeling better. Before his call I was scheduling another cruise and just about to confirm these plans.

Although I asked him not to get upset about this rise, I hung up the phone in tears. If I am so very tired, I cannot imagine what he is feeling right now. I plan on going home early, taking a Xanax, making a latte and printing pictures in my p.j.'s until I fall asleep.

I do not know what else to say but I know one thing....I really need some heavy duty prayers and support right now. I know the cruise was to regroup and stay strong. Call me an idiot but I thought we would have more time without issues.

We already have a game plan to resort to if need be and although this brings some comfort to us, I am sickened by this news.

Dear Cancer,
How many times do we have to set you straight?? You are not welcomed here and never were. You are up against a person who is going to beat you down over and over again with goals to obliviate you and for all. We are sickened by your forcefullness and will fight you back ten-fold. With each action you take we shall have a reaction, we will always have the next step to take already planned, as we do now. I hope you are finally listening to what we are saying, you are wasting your time, your energy. You are not up just against my best friend, you are up against an entire force of my friends. We are here and we are just as determined to survive as you are. You do not stand a chance amongst us personally or this force behind us. We stand as one, we are here, we are just as detemined and we are Warriors. I bid you goodbye one more time, for you are not welcomed here!!

Love and Prayers>>Believe51

You were here for me about my lovely husband through the bad and good news as it is now for him and believe me you are both in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

Me and stuart wish you so much goodwill and support and I am sure everyone else on this site does as well. My heart goes out to you.

What goes up, must come down......! And come down with a mighty crash~ that is my hope!

Wishing you and Ed many more happy cruises and happy moments. Best to you.

Marie, sweet Marie,

Well said in your letter - I hope that dumb cancer gets the message.

I am sending my strongest prayers for you and Ed. Strong loving comfort and strength for you both. And I am getting little stern with the great Healer who I know is listening and can take it. Enough!

Sweet dreams
Chris

I join Margerie in wishing you lots of more cruises and years of victories. I know it must be so very hard to receive this news and have to go on offense once more to battle this horrible disease. I'll keep on praying for you and Ed and all the others who may get down, but always rise again to do another day's battle. May you receive the strength, wisdom, and courage to fight hard once more. Much love,
ma

(((Marie))) I'm so sorry to hear of your latest worries. I'll be keeping you and Ed in my thoughts and prayers

I read your post with tears in my eyes, I know what it is like to keep climbing the roller coaster ride with cancer. My heart goes out to you and I am sending hugs and prayers your way. I just found out my son-in-law (who is battling melanoma) and on interferon was told today his treatment isn't working. I don't think there are any more tricks in the bag for him. He is only 35. It just devastes me. I have found 7 clinical trials for him to try to get into, but he is resistant. Anyway I feel your pain and frustration!

Marie:

I am sorry to hear about the numbers. I know how hard it is for you and your beloved husband. Please know that you are in our hearts and prayers.

Lee and Colleen

Oh Marie, I am so sorry that this is happening...you both are so strong, and filled with faith and love, you WILL overcome this setback and be able to go on many more cruises and spend lots of time being in love....my prayers are with you both....stay strong!

Maire,

Sending arrow prayers straight to heaven for you and Ed.

Marie, I'm really sorry to hear about Ed's TM rise. You guys hang in there, sweetie. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayers from Canada for you and Ed, dear Marie.

all the best,
caya

Prayers from me for your "mighty oak",Marie! Wish I could wave that darned anti cancer magic wand....sigh...
