Looking forward~~~
 

Tomorrow, I go for scans to see how the Eribulen is working inside...so ironic, as 9 years ago tomorrow, I was told I had breast cancer. The rollercoaster ride continues, and although I dont like rollercoasters, I am getting more used to each bump and twist along the way. I was thinking, what is the one most important thing cancer has given me? My answer is TODAY.....because before cancer, I took TODAY for granted, now I savor each and every today.

When I had a recurrence, I was told the outlook was not good...well here I am, still fighting, but enjoying TODAY!
Hoping this gives hope to those who are struggling right now.... none of us are guaranteed tomorrows, even without cancer, but we do have TODAY! Live for it!

Well said, Sheila. Here's to a good scan result 'tomorrow'!

Re: Looking forward~~~

Thank you for the reminder to live in the moment!!

Best of luck on your scan, I'll be thinking of you. Lori

Yes. Medical care has given us more yesterdays and today. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will all have many more tomorrows.
Good luck !! We are all waiting for your results !!

Re: Looking forward~~~
 

Sheila, you are truly an inspiration! Tomorrow is a scary day for both of us: I will see my oncologist as we try to decide what chemo I can try this time. I am tempted to try gemzar again with something to help overcome the reaction of last time. I will be thinking of you and praying for you that your scans are good news and we both have more good "todays". I will be watching for your post and will also post my outcome. Whatever happens, you are truly in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs, TriciaK

True words Sheila and hoping for good news on your scan results:)

Re: Looking forward~~~
 

Sheila,

You and I both have had our 9th anniversaries this year. As many know, our paths have been different. I have never once known you to be anything but quite human and entirely admirable as you continue on yours. Thanks for being you, and best to you.

Nice sentiment AA. And I agree, Sheila is not just an authentic human, but a very strong one and a personal inspiration to me.

And imagine, Sheila, becoming so adept at riding that rollercoaster - although you never sought to be. Now you you ride it like a rodeo hero.

Sheila, I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Much much love, my friend,
Chris

Hey, Kiddo, you know my fingers and toes are crossed for you. I haven't had time to be on the site for several days (that time of year for realtor-types). I am so glad I took a mo. to pop on tonight to see your post. Praying that stuff is still doing the trick. Those skin mets and that nodule still gone?

Re: Looking forward~~~
 

I am praying for good news to come your way Sheila. I feel the need to thank our dear, beloved Joe for bringing all of us together on this forum. Without him & Christine, I never would have known you or been able to read your inspiring stories. Let alone all of the other fabulous men and women that frequent these message boards. Sending my love to you!

Re: Looking forward~~~

How are you doing Sheila?

Re: Looking forward~~~
 

Hi Sheila,
I am wishing the best for you. You have been and continue to be a major inspiration for me. I switched to my school insurance in January and am in the process of setting up my Tykerb prescription again. Fortunately, it still continues to work for me.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.
