Barbara, I don't know what I could say that you have not already said. You know that my prayers and thoughts and positive energy are with you. So glad that you are willing to put up the fight of your life and that you know you have so much love and support. God bless you on this journey. I will be thinking of you on the 16th and praying for a miracle...they do happen you know.
Kindly, Judy

    Yes, miracles do happen. I have a 6'5" 300 pound 17 year old male to prove miracles do happen. But that' a whole other story. Thank you for your kindness.

Add another person to the list of those who will be praying and cheering you on. Actually I am sure there are unseen angels and prayer warriors that you don't even know that are praying. I've heard the same words, days after Hurricane Katrina's landfall. Yep, you do lose weight -- fast. And I got a new hair color. It could be age in my case but it seems more dignified for me to blame it on cancer. I've got to say the last five years of my life have been some of the best. By the way, I know the same Great Physician that is now caring for you.

Hi Barbara,
Wow! I really admire your courage and your inner-strength.
You are a example to us all...You know I thought you were going in the hospital for back surgery. I didn't realize it was for breast cancer surgery. You have the prayers and support of all your friends here on FS. Bless your heart.
Hugs, love Patty

Brave writing here, I dont doubt for one minute that you will triumph over this adversity. My sister was diagnosed with cervical cancer when she was 14 weeks pregnant with twins.

She is alive and healthy and the twins will be 4 in December.I wish you the same happy ending

Love and prayers

kate

    WOW!!!!!! & twins, what a blessing. Thank you for your kindness. I wrote this hoping somehow to let women know that they too have the stength to fight this cancer, but your sister did it better than I could. I know reviewers read my reviews because they comment on them. Your review will be a blessing to them.

    My freind surround yourself with love and positive people. In this part of Ireland the rate of breat cancer is exceptionally high, but so is the survival rate. With faith and love all things are possible.

    love kate

    I have never been to Ireland, but I have heard it is beautiful. I have seen photos and it does look beautiful.
reply by MumEsGirl on 12-Sep-2010
    Ireland is very beautiful, but, sadly our weather is very often inclement. To see it at its best your need some sunshine.

Hi, barbara wilkey.

Anyone who fights cancer deserves six stars. May you end up the winner. Keep a positive attitude. Cancer hates positivity. God bless you.

What a beautiful and moving story. I pray God's blessings will be with you. My best friend has cancer and she is the toyghest woman I know. When they had to take both of her breast she smiled and said'Okay but I want a tummy tuck too!" They did! She still is a nurse even though she has chemo every weak. We call ourselves the "A" team because she has a chemo brain and I have a seizure brain. We laugh at our shortcomings all the time. Please continue to share with us. Please read my poem, "Lost in Colorado if you haven't yet. We all need to be here for each other! I am here for you! Shirley

    Dear Barbara, I thought you had. As you can tell I have a problem with short term memory. That is one of the things we joke about. LOL
reply by the author on 12-Sep-2010
    At least it's just short term memory. I have problems with all my memory.
