Hi Deb,
Beautiful family! Just checking in to see how things are going. Let us know how we can help.

Deb, how were your scan results ? I hope they were great.
Mine weren't but, we shall see.
Stay strong and do keep me posted.

Hi Deb, I know it's scary. I didn't want to hear or believe about Tony Snow. But, we don't know his case and we don't hear about all the SUCCESSFUL stories, do we ? You bet I am nervous but, I think we are both going to have positive outcomes. I know the cold thing is not much fun in the summer but, weirdly, it took me a long time to get back to drinking anything cold after because I was so used to it. Try and be strong and I will try too. Fingers and toes crossed ? Speak to you soon with good answers. Stay strong.

Deb, hi. I saw your note in the National Conference Group. By now someone has probably answered your question, but you just go to the main CCA site and sign up to be a member (it's free.) Thanks for joining Spirituality as well. Has not had much activity lately, feel free to post your thoughts!

Hi Deb, Just checking in. How are you ? Scanned ? Results next week ? We will compare positive notes !!!!
Hope you are enjoying your summer.
Michele

Hi Deb! Thanks so much for thinking of me and "checking up!" I'm doing very well and enjoying the summer as much as possible. My boys aren't letting me stop to remember that I'm "sick," so life has been pretty normal. We spend lots of time at the pool and at home just fooling around. Very different from what I'm used to in the summer. I usually work at least part time, so these lazy days are nice! I'm amazed by people (YOU!) who can go through this and continue to work. I know my body doesn't feel like working, and I don't think my heart would be in it either.

Are you feeling better after this last treatment? Hope so! And you say that was your 7th of 8? Will you be finished after that or have you got something to do in between treatments? Hopefully, scans will show that your liver tumors have responded and you will be ready for that surgery. I know you'll feel better when the spots in the liver are gone. I sure do!!

I ended up being unable to get my 12th and last treatment because my platelet count was so low, but everyone (the docs) felt okay about that because I've been responding to treatment so well. I start radiation next week, along with continuous 5FU. Looking forward to it in the sense that it will be over in 6 weeks and then we can be on to the NEXT BIG THING, more surgery. I just want to get through it all and go on a major vacation!

I hope your summer is going well and that you're able to fit some fun into your busy schedule! You deserve it! Take care, Deb. Dana

my scans are on the 23rd ! let's go with karma and the 23rd will be a good day for both of us, deal ????

Hi Deb, I know it's hard. It's very hard and the truth is, it sucks ! But, you are doing it and getting through it and that is what counts. I know the cold sensitivity is no fun but, somehow after awhile, I got used to it and it took me a long time to drink anything not at room temp. The fatigue is undeniable. I don't think my mother realized it until she was up visiting and I came home from work and just got into bed and was out by 8pm. But, if this is all helping you, it's worth it. You and I both know that. When are your next scans ? I will be thinking of you. Mine are at the end of July. Of course, I am nervous but I am going to try and stay positive. Let's stay strong for each other. Pretty soon, you and your husband and daughter will be checking in at the dinner table and enjoying a fabulous meal. Stay strong.

Hi Deb, Just wanted to check in and see how you are doing. Hope all is well.
