Praying for you and yours
Tracy,
I am so sorry to hear about your husband Bob's passing. My heart breaks for the pain I know you and your family are feeling. I pray that God will wrap you in His loving arms and comfort you and give you the strength you need to find peace.
May memories bring you gladness and time ease your sadness and the Lord carry you through it all.
Sending you lots of love and prayers,
Nicola

Dear Al,
April 27 was not a good day for you or for me. I'm so sorry about your loss of your wife on that day. I had my biopsy, 2nd time dealing with BC after 10 yr remission. I've been diagnosed Stage IV metastatic, am hanging in there, take one day at a time. Went thru 18 radiation treatments first for a malignant tumor on spine, that seems to be doing okay, having CT, bone scan and MRI in Oct. Hope it is gone forever. And now doing Herceptin with Aridia.
This web site is so wonderful for people to communicate with others who have either experienced same problems, spouses of people with BC and family members. Such a wonderful, caring group that is so supportive of each other. Let me know how you are doing and I hope each day is somewhat easier than the one before. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Herceptin allergy
Dear Carina,
I'm so sorry you have had problems with Herceptin. I have only had four treatments but so far no big problems. Other than very fatigued from the large dose of Benadryl which I sleep off when I get home. I too had ductual carcinoma diagnosed in April 2006, 2nd breast cancer, first was 10 yrs ago, 1995 in other breast. At that time I had lympectomy followed by 36 radiation treatments. This time I had partial mastectomy, one lymph gland was positive, others negative. Saw 3 oncologists before making a decision, love who I'm using and so far we'll continue with Herceptin, Aridia and Femora. If things change with blood then I'm sure it will be other treatment. Saw surgeon yesterday, he thinks I need to do radiaiton, just finished 18 radiation treatments on spine for malignant tumor discovered in a bone scan, still trying to recouperate from that.
Please keep me informed of your progress.

Dear Tracy,
I am so sorry. I too lost my husband suddenly when he was just 39 and I know how you are feeling right now. Now the peace of God's presence and the assurrance of His love surround you and your family. You will survive this as difficult as it seems now. Rest in His love for you. Do not expect anything of yourself right now. Allow friends and family to care for you.
God Bless you,
You are in my prayers,

Dear Tracy:
Words are so inadequate sometimes to express what is in our hearts. I am so deeply sorry to learn of your tragic loss. I hope you will be comforted by all the love and prayers sent to you from your many friends here.
