Pam, I am so glad you posted because I have been wondering about you and how you are fairing. Reading your post made me need to let you know that you are always a thought away and constantly in my prayers. This dreadful disease is relentless and that is why we need to be even stronger than that. Eight years would make a person maybe feel a sense of defeat, I cannot even fathom a fight that long. Although unfair to comment since I do not have BC, I feel that this is not your downward spiral. There are times that Ed feels that way too so I do understand those feelings. The cancer has remained in the bones and no organ involvement is part of a big blessing.

Please try not to get discouraged as you embark on this new treatment regime. Remember that you are loved and prayed for. Keep the faith and the notion that we stand tall besides you in that ring. I will be sending special loving prayers from this point forward for your dance with NED. Maybe we will be dancing together if the timing is right. Love to you.>>Believe51
