Chinese Whispers

[Renata]

Nancy, so sorry for what is happening with your Mom. So glad that you are able to telework and spend as much time with her as possible. Maureen is right, there is nothing more important than being with her, Chinese Whispers can take a back-seat. You and your family are in my thoughts.

I've been busy the past few days and I missed Nancy's post regarding her mother's condition. I am so sorry to hear this news Nancy. Take your time with the quilt. Your mother is so much more important.

Sorry it took me this long to respond. Dealing with "chemo issues" and another cold last weekend, courtesy of my DS. No matter how hard we tried not to get the bug I ended up with it. Doing better now, which is good since DH had to go back to work a day early and I'm working on gettin ready for chemo # 4. Thank God I have an awesome DMIL. She's coming back from Alaska to help out during next treatment.

Limbania, you don't need to apologise for not being on the forum, we all understand you have a lot going on. Sorry, you got a bug but I am glad you are doing better now and it won't affect your treatment. Good luck with chemo 4. How many sessions are you having?

Your DMIL sounds like an Angel and a very thoughtful person, especially coming from so far away. How long does she usually stay? Like everyone else, give her a hug from me as well.

Thank you Maureen! I'll have 8 sessions total. One every 2 weeks. Number four is the last with two different drugs applied the same day but not mixed. Starting number 5 will be another drug, one only but the dripping is very slow, takes about five hours between blood test, medication to help with nausea and the chemo. Taxol is the name of the drug and because one of the side effects is peripheral neuropathy, tingling and numbness in the extremities, hands and feet particularly, it has to be applied very slowly trying to prevent that as much as possible. This of course besides all the other niceties (side effects) chemo causes.

DMIL will be staying 9 days, she'll be leaving on a Tuesday and DH will be arriving the following Friday on time for chemo #5. The first week after chemo it's been the hardest and she'll be here for that. Marty (DMIL) is a very caring, thoughtful and generous lady. I'm very lucky having her in my life.


Thank you all for caring and supporting me.

I do hope this isn't going to be a theme through the whispers :shock: Positive thoughts everyone.

That was my thoughts exactly Rosemary, but I didn't like to express them in case it was bad luck :!: :!: :!: :!:

I'm sure it won't Rosemary! Glad you put it into words, if there was any chance of something like that happening, most of the times saying it out loud should stop it. I think this is just an unfortunate coincidence.

On a lighter note , I think this would put a big smile in your faces. I want to be like her when I get to that age! :lol: :lol: :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP9b_91PHi8 Enjoy!!!

I'd like to be like that now :lol:

You have so much to go through Limbania, thank goodness for DMIL. I do hope this treatment is not too traumatic for you and really hope you don't get the problems and side effects with the other and wish you lots of strength. This next treatment is a milestone and you'll have had half the treatments.

Keep smiling lovely lady

My sentiments exactly Limbania. I hope everything goes smoothly with your next session and the side effects are kept to a minimum.

I also would like to be like that lady right now, never mind in years to come

Thank you Limbania, that put a smile on my face first thing this morning!

The very best of luck with the next treatment. If we could share the burden more we would but you must know that we are all sending you lots of thoughts of healing love.
