Hello HER2 dear friends. I haven't been posting much, but I have been following, and grieving the losses with you. I am keeping you in prayer and hoping the 2014 brings us all strength and health and peace of mind.

Today was the last day of my oral chemo for my eye cancer. The last six months have been about regular oncology appointments, EKGs, labs, eye exams, avastin shots in the eye, liver mri's, and chest scans. So far, so good. I have appointments with the specialists in Philadelphia the first week of January and next liver mri in mid January.

Had some side effects of the Sutent, but they didn't get nasty until I battled an abcess (at my groin), at the same time. That is all but resolved, and I'm now looking forward to regaining some strength, some sense of taste, relief from mouth pain, and trusting in my continence again!

The difficult part for me is still the mental, and I'm reading and praying for greater trust in God's plan for me and the provision of his grace to get me through it.

I think of all of you often and keep you in my prayers.

Barb

Dear Barb,

Thank you for keeping us updated. I see you have been getting all the attention for your eye cancer and everything has been managed accordingly. I understand the part on the mental issues. I am the same way, I have been medicated again for my anxiety and my panic attacks. I think too much on the bad part of things and they get on me. Well, try to do as much as you can to overcome that part. I send you hugs and hope that everything will be fine and better in 2014. Have a happy New Year!

Barb, that's how we are, soldiering through all manner of physical challenges but the emotional/mental are not as easily confronted. We don't have a plan of attack for that aspect. Does the facility where u get treatment have any sort of therapy or discussion group? Can you join a meditation group? I hope you find the support you can use
Mostly, keep the faith
