I have not logged in for a long time and to see this about Lolly.
My thoughts to her husband and family and friends
I'm so sick and tired of losing us! where's the damn cure, the vaccine, the clinical studies that are faster to test, etc

Love to all of you
Maria

Oh, this is too too sad. To Lolly's family - my condolences. I haven't logged in for a long time but when I have been here Lolly has been such a gentle, wise and generous soul...like others, I didn't know how ill she was...so sad...Bx

  • Aug 2011 - Diagnosed with Stage IV mets to lung, sternum and 12 or so thoracic nodes - Rads to Sternum, then weekly abraxane and herceptin for 12 weeks.
  • May 2012- good scans - all nodes still about normal size, hole in sternum repairing, lung tumour 'obliterated'.
    Ongoing herceptin every 3 weeks. Bloods still all good! Life good!
  • March 2013 - recurrence - tumours in lungs and mediastinum (coughing up blood) - immediate radiation treatment to right lung and mediastinum, still on Herceptin, and 3 months of Vinoralbine - stable for a little while!
  • Coughing and breathlessness started again September 2013, treated as radiation-induced fibrosis (which can be seen on scans - albeit stable). ie puffers, steroids
  • January 2014 - cough becomes bloody again, scans show big mediastinal tumour wrapped around and choking the life out of my right main bronchus, radiation deemed off limits as my lungs are hypersensitive to radiation (measured by existing damage from 2013) .....................- ie I am in the 5% of people likely to suffer severe radiation damage to the lungs that they warn you about before starting treatment! (so special! :) )
  • Started chemo Feb 2014 - continuing Herceptin (continuous since Aug 2011), with Carboplatin and Gemcitabine. Discontinued Gemcitabine because of se's. Starting cycle 5 Herc/Carbo 5 May 2014.
  • Meantime.....coughing and breathlessness increased to SCARY levels with racing heartbeat that won't slow down, breath that won't come back, even just walking to the bathroom or up 3 or 4 steps.
  • ICU from May 5 2014, collapsed right lung due to tumour, small pulmonary embolism (left), tumours growing in mediastinum left and right, dvt lower right leg
  • Plan seems to be bronchoscope next week to see if tumour can be lasered and stent inserted in right bronchus to reopen air access to lower parts of right lung. If that is successful might be able to have brachytherapy to worst tumour, otherwise no more options for external radiotherapy.

I was shocked to read of Lolly passing...I haven't been able to get on here much lately, so I was not prepared for this. It seems like we are losing too many members lately - or is it just me. Enough already....I hope the researchers come up with something better soon for us all. Please convey my condolences to the family.

We''ll Miss Lolly

I just found out about Lolly. There are no words to describe the loss I feel. She was here from day one for me and all on this site. I had no idea she was so sick. I wish her family love and healing and prayers. Thank you, God, for sharing Lolly with all of us....Vickie

My condolences to Lolly's family and her family on this board - including myself. I always love to see her picture with her hubby - such good smiles, such love between them.

I am glad to have known such wonderful lady. What a good example for others to learn how to live with love and how to leave with fond memories!

I am just reading this, and this has got me so upset. Lolly was such a wonderful support on this group and such a lovely lady with a fighting spirit. Last post I had read from her, she seemed to doing as well as possible. That's what I hate so much about this disease, it makes no sense. I am so sad now...sherryg683
