Lolly,
I am so frustrated to here your news. It's a blow to all of us, especially those of us who were so optimistic about our vaccine therapy. I know there is a good chance that the vaccine is actually working and without it who knows what our status might currently be. I know you will get things back under control and I am sending prayers and positive thoughts your way.
I am wanting to talk further with Dr. Devon at U.W. Seattle about the Adoptive T-Cell therapy she mentioned to me right before I had my Gamma Knife last month. It sounds pretty interesting, but I just haven't had time to pursue it. Whenever I get any free time I escape to the woods and trails with my horse and at least for awhile I totally forget that I have BC.
Sometimes I feel like I am trying to run away from my cancer or that I am in a state of denial, but being out in nature like that, challenging myself phyically, puts me in such a state of euphoria that I can't help but feel it helps to heal me. I hope you too have something that you are passionate about, something that gives you an adrenaline rush! I think all of us need to find that special thing that makes us light up just thinking about it. Something we do just for us. It doesn't matter what it is, we just need to do it often and try not to let this disease consume us. I know you are such a positive person, you probably are way ahead of me on this. Just do what you do best, and know that I am rooting for you too.
Love Kim
