Hello
Hello friends
Sorry I haven't posted for a while or sent encouraging messages. Initially it was because I was helping two friends with personal crisis - but now I have my own.
It is back with a vengence over the last 3 months. So I am supposed to start Ixabepilone today. The doctor told me I have a 10% chance. I also find out the results of my brain MRI and I'm very nervous and scared. They told me I cannot have WBR because my brain would swell too much.
It is the first time that I've been this afraid in a long time....
I'm sorry I haven't been here to encourage those of you that need it.
I will try to be on here more with positive thoughts again for you - but a little prayer today might be a help for me.
