~Kate~(tousled1) UPDATE For You All....
 
I called and spoke with Kate just a minute ago. Maybe some have noticed that she has not been on the boards since 2/18 and that is partly due to her having computer problems. Before beginning this post I want you to know how great she sounds....after all..this is our Warrior Kate and I am so honored to be able to help her.

She has also been hospitalized for pneumonia and at 8 pm tonight she was scheduled for another breathing treatment.

Kate has found out that she has had some progression on her combo despite her most desperate desires for this cocktail to work. On Monday she will be beginning her new regime of Tykerb/Xeloda. Her voice was of the same strong-willed determined kind and her spirits were those that let you know she is going in fighting.

She does want you not to worry so let us make this our goals. Please know that she is ready for this combo and Monday cannot come too soon for her.

Again I want to say that I am so blessed to have such Angels in my life. Continue to keep praying for our 'lil tousled1 as I know y'all will (that one is for Kate & Bill)-hehe!!

Believe51

PS: I love this family!! You all are an amazing bunch of Angels!!

I had been wondering about Kate, as she also lives in Georgia, and I always look to see her posts. I am glad that her spirits are good, and will be praying that she sees some improvement soon! This weather cannot be helping the breathing issues!!!

Take care,

Sending good thoughts, prayers and strength to Kate. Keep that strong spirit Kate. We love you.

Bill 02-28-2008 08:16 PM

I've been wondering, too, Marie, thanks for the update. My thoughts and prayers are being sent up for her. (Sassy, good to hear from you, too.) Being new to the site, if I don't hear from "my girls" every day, I worry. Love to y'all, Bill

StephN 02-28-2008 08:27 PM

Get better soon!
 
Thanks, Marie -
For staying on top of some of our missing. If you speak with Kate again soon, let her know that there are lots of prayers and hugs coming her way.

Very bummed out to learn she has to change treatments again. They got her on her feet a couple of months ago, so let's cheer on her medical team to do it again!

Thanks Marie for the update on Kate.

Kate, I am praying hard for you that the new treatment will knock that cancer out on its butt.

all the best

Thank You Marie!!
 
http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/clip_art/pe...ips/hands-clipKate, my sweet Sister, you are in my thoughts every day. I just love your shining Spirit. You are one very special lady (w/more spunk then any three of us put together). So sorry that you are down but sometimes the hospital is the best place for us. Know they'll take extra good care of you and get you back up as soon as possible. May the new tx be THE one to gain the upper hand w/your nasty canser http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/clip_art/gs...dday/greenface. Sending prayers out for you to keep on being the remarkable person you are. We all need you, Kate. So please take extremely good care of yourself. God bless you! With much love always,
Andi

Hey Friends
 
Kate is home from the hospital, still a bit fatigued but happy to be in her own place!! She will not have a computer until further notice so if you need to say something special I will contact her.

I will be calling her back tonight to read all these posts from you fine Warriors and she is anticipating that call. You are the best, I love this site and the very special family we have here.

Thank you all for being the people you are. I love you so much>>Believe51

Kate, I will be pulling for you on Monday, let the good drugs roll!

<3 Lolly

Chelee 02-29-2008 06:36 PM

I am so happy they released you Kate because there is NO place like HOME. :) Just being home will have you feeling so much better...at least at home you can get some REAL rest/sleep. I'm so sorry you had to deal with all this...I know it hasn't been easy. But its time for things to turn around and nothing but good things to come your way.

I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that your new chemo will kick some major cancer butt and then some! Hang in there kate...and get some rest. (Hugs!)

Mary Anne in TX 02-29-2008 06:39 PM

Hey Kate, I'm praying that those meds have exceptional power as they enter your body and knock the socks off those BC cells! You are so amazing and I know that you will be strong in your determination to get well. We miss you more that you will ever know. As I think about you now, I would love to have this whole computer screen filled with zillions of pictures of you and all our warrior sisters talking and laughing and crying and loving the special moments in life! Wish I could see your face and send more than a cyber hug! I'm sending prayers your way and lots of love. ma

Yorkiegirl 02-29-2008 08:39 PM

Please let Kate know I am glad that she is home. I know she will rest so much better at home.

Let her know she is in my prayers.

Hibernate and hunker down until you get your strength back... I will be sending big optimisic prayers into the universe for you, and the universe better listen or I will have to kick it's butt.
