Thank you Barbara for sharing this journey with us. We gain strength, in seeing your strength, as you gain strength from knowing we are here. I hope your holidays are blessed and hope you can get rest from school and its pressures. Hopefully, the next round of chemo will be kinder to you. Merry Christmas and our prayers are with you and yours. Love, ann

This was so informative, Barbara, and really appreciated as even though I have had not kind of chemo infusions yet that will come, for me, as a last ditch effort in the breast cancer and the first real treatment for the myeloma. I have some of your same side effects just because of the cancers and also the Aromasin (oral drug). You are doing amazing, IMHO, and still working as much as possible. My hat is off to you and a huge bow. Not sure I could have worked. You will be on the five year plan, a survivor with lots of wonderful years ahead of you, I have not a doubt. :) And you are right, it is our faith and prayers from so many that keep us going. Go Girl! A great post and I have no doubt will be of help to someone either now or in the future.
If you are ever interested in a product that helps tremendously for equalizing the fatigue, I take Rejeneril, recommended by a holistic Dr. for his patients that have cancer and are on chemo and also for aids patients. I truly believe it helps, but it is pricey and not approved by the FDA yet so insurance doesn't cover it.
I just finished my last reconstruction surgery, Yeah and my book. So 20ll is looking like it is going to be a great year, and I know it will be for you. Take care, Merry Christmas, and God's blessing on a healing and stabilizing 20ll.... Joycexx

Barbara,
my love and prayers go out with you. I was sick yesterday with my Lymphadema and irritable bowel acting up all day. I was up for two hours and I farted and crapped myself and after that I was on the toilet at least eight times. I thought I was going to have to call 911 I felt so bad. I feel much better today, but I'm very behind on reviewing. Gorgeous art work you used. I wear the pink bow for breast cancer awareness. I'm so sad you've lost your hair, but I hear it comes back soft as a babies behind. I want you to kick back and relax. Make your hubby and sons cater to you. Your essay is awesomely written. I'm praying you continue your fight with cancer and kick its butt!
Melissa.

Your strength and honesty is an inspiration to me. You will beat this. Why because of you, your attitude and wisdom. Remember, Everything is better at the end, if its not better, its not the end.

Thank you for your eagle eye. I hope things are going better for you, but I hear things have not improved any. You are in my prayers.
Comment from Sacred Heart
Barbara,
Wish I had a six for you my friend.
Thanks so much for your your gracious heart
in letting all of us here know how you are doing
and how your cancer treatments are going.
I admire your strong spirit but I also know
that this experience has got to be one of the
most difficult things you've ever been through
in your life. You inspire us all with your inner-strength
and conviction to get through this with love and graciousness in heart and spirit. God Bless You my friend,
I'm sending good thoughts your way on this Christmas Eve and will continue to keep you and yours in my prayers.
Love Light Patty

My prayers are with you. I read this and thought of all you're going through and cried. But, I am praying for you now and God is our great physician. Reading this makes me cry not only because I have compassion, but because it makes me realize that there's always someone else suffering more than me. Thank you for sharing this. It was difficult to read, but worth it. I pray God's many blessing upon you at this Christmas time. Jesus is the reason for the season! God bless you and yours!
