Sheila,

I imagine being told about the new tumors would make you feel much like you did when you were diagnosed with breast cancer. It must be frustrating and absolutely draining to contemplate another round of treatments, not to mention all the old fears creeping back in. Sometimes, I think the mind will protect you from some of those feelings by giving you this "on the outside looking in" perspective until you can gather your strength to hit it head-on and I know that strength will come to you. Just remember, you made it through the first time and no matter how bad it may have been, it has made you a stronger person. I will be praying for you tonight and giving you a big healthy hug from my heart.

Dear Sheila,
Oh my dear, what a lot to deal with. No wonder you feel like you're in shock! Any one of these things would be enough to push anyone over the edge. I can't offer anything but cyberhugs and prayers that things will settle down for you soon. Glad you came here to vent.

Much love
Chris

So sorry Sheila. What was your original ER/PR? Do post the new pathology and suggested treatment. I'm hoping these tumors are easily treatable and someone who knows something about this particular type can give you advice. I would guess there is also an ovarian cancer support group.

Not fair, but praying you can kick this as well. Hang in there. We're here for you. Bev

Sheila,

First of all I'm sorry to hear that your father passed away. Secondly, it's a good thing you did go to the doctor when you did. It's amazing what are bodies will do. I'm praying that when you get the results of the tumors everything will be benign so that you will not have to go through anymore treatments. Sending you a big hug!

Dear Sheila

That is so much to do through.I am sorry it has been such a hard time for you. Keep letting us know how you feel and drawing strength from other lovely women on this forum.

Shiela,
Sorry to hear about your Father. No matter how ill our parents become we are
never prepared to let them go. You have been through a lot.
I am thinking positive thoughts for you and sending you a big
hug. Take care and please keep us posted on your progress.

Regards,
Jean

So sorry about all you are going through topped by the loss of your Father....we are never ready to say goodbye to those that gave us life, a home and made us what we are today. I am praying your reports will be clean and this hurdle behind you in not time, with renewed strength and many more years to come.

Sheila, please accept my most sincere condolences on the loss of your father. I was also so sorry to read all you have been going through. Please stay strong, (believe me, I know that isn't an easy task), and stay positive because it makes such a difference in your overall recovery and health in general. Good luck with your visit to your onc and hopefully you will hear nothing too terrible at all. Let's pray things get better from this day forth.

You had the classic symptoms -
 

-- of ovarian tumor. Really sorry it had to happen to YOU, one of our HER2 warriors who have it hard enough as it is! And loss of a cherished parent at the same time is a double whammy.
Please check with your docs for signs of Post Tramatic Stress Syndrome - times like you are enduring will bring this on. And depression, etc. will not add to your life.

I know two women in my activity group who have ovarian and have done well on Doxil for treatment. One lady is 5 years out and the other is 4 years.

My GP always is screening me for other cancers as he says we are at a ONE-THIRD greater risk for a second cancer. I don't like those odds!

Fight on, Sheila and we are here to help any time.

Hi Sheila!

I'm so sorry to hear of your father's death. No matter how prepared we try to be, losing a parent just isn't anything but very hard. They are the "rock solid" part of our life for so long and then they are gone. And then you get socked in the face with more tumors and more unknowns. Wish is could vanish for you. But instead, I'll just pray for your strength, wisdom, and courage to return just in time for the news from your onc. Lots of love to you. mary anne

Sheila I'm so sorry you're having to face all this so soon after losing your Father.

I was dx only a couple of months before you in '05 and can only imagine how shocked you must be feeling right now to have heard this new dx.
Hang in there and stay strong,you can get through this and I'm sending lots of cyber hugs your way and hope for some good news from your onc appt.
Please keep us posted.

Man o Man o Man...
 

I cannot "feel" more for you right now. I know that for me to say "I know where you are coming from" seems like such a platitiude - but IT IS'NT! Let me know what I can do - research (got it down) - prayer (God and I and are a first name basis) - positive energy (feel it now)!

If you've followed my posts, I've lost my father-in-law, my wife, and now my mother-in-law is now sick - ALL since October. I KNOW 85% of your pain, and I pray I can help.

Hi Sheila,
When I read your story I just had to wonder how you could handle so much at once. I could relate to your comment about how you felt like an observer. Three years ago when I developed mets to the liver, lung, skin, lymph nodes, I was so calm when I had my appointment with my brain surgeon that he stopped the discussion for a moment and said, "This is serious." Somehow I must have been in some sort of calming stage that our body or mind places us when things really are, or seem out of control.

These are two huge bumps in the road for you. Although you will find a way to get through them, I'm glad that you have come here again for support.

Just know that you continue to be in my thoughts.

Best wishes,
Barbara H.

Sheila, I am just so sorry you're going through so much in such a short time. I'm sending you big hugs right now, hoping you are getting through this and just know, you are not alone. BIG HUGS,
<3 Lolly

The Road Ahead
 

Dearest Sheila,
My heart goes out to you. The loss of your father and now this diagnosis! Please stay strong and know we are all here to support you. I lost my Mother, sister, father-in-law and nephew all within 9 months back in 1985. I never thought I would make it through all those tragedies, and many days I never saw the light of day from my bedroom as I took refuge there, but somehow I kept on walking and praying and crying through it all and today it is those experiences that are carrying me through this journey. I can imagine the pain you are feeling right
now and how hard it is to keep going. I pray the strength and courage that you need right now will come swiftly. You are in my prayers. Love, Vickie
