To Eternal Life
While today marks my first day as a member, I'm familiar with so many people in this community.
My mother, Jeanette (who has posted on occasion), has been a member of this support group for many years. Throughout the years, even when the members of the family would find their hope for a cure slipping, she reminded us of the many women from this forum who have had such wonderful success in their treatments.
With tears in her eyes, she would share the news of others that weren't as successful. Even though she didn't post often, she thought of everyone here as a "second family".
On Friday afternoon, Jeanette went to be with God and her family that has passed.
Until the very end, she had hope for new treatments. She bragged about her "sisters" on this forum and their success. She found hope in the possibility of a clinical trial.
In the end, treatment didn't work. What our family has to remember, though, is that it isn't the end. She taught us so much in her love of life, her ability to find humor in so many situations, and her unending pride in her Scottish heritage.
It leaves an empty space in our hearts, and a feeling of being lost to her husband of nearly 51 years. We find hope, though, in our trust that those angels are leading her to paradise.
"Thank You" will never be enough to express our family's gratitude for the hope, courage, and advice you have given her throughout the years. Please keep us in your prayers during this difficult time. We will continue to keep all of you in our prayers, as well.
Blessings,
Bryan Hayes

Re: To Eternal Life
Dearest Bryan, Thank you so much for letting us know. Jeanette has been a part of this family since 2005. I am so verry sorry to hear the treatment did not work for our sister Jeanette has earned her wings. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. With heartfelt sympathy. Hugs, Joanne S

Re: To Eternal Life
Dear Bryan,
So nice of you to let us know about your mother. I am truly sorry about your loss. I can't imagine how you feel, but know she is always with you.
Karen

Graves Disease, became Euthyroid via Radioactive Iodine, June 2001.
Thyroid Eye Disease. 2003. Decompression surgery in 2009; eyelid lowering surgery in 2010.
Diagnosed: June 2010, liver mets. ER-/PR+10%; HER2+++.
July 2010: Begin Taxol/Herceptin. Eliminate sugar from diet. No surgery or radiation.
January 2011: NED
April 2011: Progression in liver only. Other previous affected areas eradicated. Stop Taxol/Herceptin after 32 infusions.
May 2011: Brain MRI: clear.
May 2011: Begin Tykerb daily, Xeloda twice per day for one week on, one week off, and Herceptin.
November 2011: Progression in liver. All other tumors remain eradicated.
December 2011: BEGIN TRIAL #09-093 Taxol, MCC-DM1 (T-DM1), Perjeta.
Trial requires scans every six weeks, bloodwork and infusions weekly.
Brain MRI: clear.
January 2012: NED. Liver mets, good riddance!
March 2012: NED. Developed SMA (rare blood clot) in intestinal artery and loss of sight in right eye due to optical nerve neuropathy. Resolved when Taxol removed this month.
Continue Protocol of T-DM1 weekly and Perjeta every 3 weeks.
May 2012: NED.
June 2012: Brain MRI: clear.
June-December 2012: NED.
December 2012: TRIAL CONCLUDED; ENTER TRIAL EXTENSION #09-037. CT, Brain MRI, bone scan: clear. NED.
January-March 2013: NED.
June 2013: Brain MRI: clear. CEA upticking; CT shows new met on liver.
July 3, 2013: DISASTER STRIKES during liver ablation: sloppy surgeon cuts intercostal artery and I bleed out, lose 3.5 liters of blood, have major hemothorax, and collapsed lung requiring emergency resuscitative thoracotomy, lung surgery, rib rearrangement and cutting deep connective tissue, transfusion. Ablation incomplete. This life-saving procedure would end up causing me unforgiving pain with every movement I make, permanently, otherwise known as forever.
July 26, 2013: Try Navelbine/Herceptin. Body too weak after surgery and transfusion. Fever. CEA: Normal.
August 16, 2016: second dose Navelbine/Herceptin; CEA: Normal. Will skip doses. Watching and waiting.
September 2013: NED, Herceptin only. CEA: Normal. Started Arimidex.
October-November 2013: NED. Herceptin and Arimidex. CEA, CA125, 15-3: Normal.
December 2013: Something brewing. PET lights up on little spot on liver; CEA upward trend, just outside normal. PET and triphasic liver scan confirm Little Met. Restart Perjeta with Herceptin, stay on Arimidex. Genomic sequencing completed for future treatments, if necessary.
January 2014: Ablate Little Met on the 6th. Happy New Year.
March 2014: Brain MRI: clear. PET/CT reveal liver mets return; new lung mets. This is not funny.
March 2014: BEGIN TRIAL #10-005 A(11)-Temsirolimus plus Neratinib.
April 2014: Genomic testing indicated they could work, they did not. Very strange drug combo for me, felt weird.
April 2014: Started Navelbine and Herceptin. Needed something tried and true, but had significant progression.
June 2014: Doxil and Herceptin.
July 2014: Progression. Got nothing out of it. Brain: NED.
July 2014: Add integrative medical hematologist-oncologist to my team. Begin supplements. These are tumor-busting, immune system boosters. Add glutathione, lysine and taurine IV infusions every three weeks.
July 2014: Begin Gemzar, Herceptin & Perjeta. Happy.
August 2014: ECHO perfect.
January 2015: Begin weekly Vitamin D Analog infusions. 25 mcg. via port.
February 2015: CT: stable.
April 2015: Gem working, but not 100%. Looking into immunotherapy. Finally, treatments for the 21st century!
April 2015: Penn Medicine. Dendritic cell immunotherapy.

Re: To Eternal Life
Found one of the postings Jeanette wrote less than 2 months ago:
"Same thing happened to me, Was declared NED and lo and behold cancer came back in the pther breast. This sucks. It has now spread to my liver and bones. I had 1.72 liters of fluid taken out last week, very easy procedure. Life goes on, so you keep your chin up and fight it with all you have, we are all rooting for you. Hoping for good results, Jeanette"
What an amazing woman!

Re: To Eternal Life
Awww darn Bryan, I am at once heartbroken for you and your family; and heart warmed that, in your grief, you would think of letting us know that your mom passed on. Like many others, I was touched by your mom; and this is the post I remember:
"We have six children, 16 Grands and 8 great grands. Love them all to death. I was fortunate to be able to stay at home with my children..."
Yes, she was fortunate to stay home with her children and you were one of the lucky recipients of her love. This stuck with me as a mother of 4 - God Bless Jeanette - God Bless her 6 children and her 16 Grands and her 8 Great Grands - may you carry forward the love that she shared with you all. You have already started.
Another beautiful large hearted angel has earned her wings.
Love and Hugs,
Kim (from CT)

Re: To Eternal Life
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Bryan. Your mom was tough, with old school common sense and she, along with so many others here, was always there to prop me up when I needed it. She will be missed.

Re: To Eternal Life
She did, indeed, love her family to death.
Six days before she passed away, great-grandchild #9 was born. Being able to skype with the new baby was the highlight of her entire year.
Five days after she passed away, great-grandchild #10 was born. I could picture, with such clarity, the smile she must have had on her face.
Your response has been overwhelming!
The day before she passed away, knowing how often she talked about her family here, I asked if she wanted me to update you all on how she was doing. She said no. She was online very often, and kept up with everyone's posts... but since she didn't post as often, she didn't think many would really know her.
Your messages confirmed what I knew. Thank you for the kind words, shared memories, and all of the prayers.
I was the only one who still lived near her. We became very close. Even if I couldn't be there, I'd call her multiple times a day. Every time I'd have any concern for her condition, she would immediatly reply, "There's no use in dwelling on it. Just take it one day at a time."
Her advice rings in my ear pretty often, lately.
Blessings,
Bryan
