Praying that all goes well for you today and you hear a positive response from doctors. I have heard good things about the CTC of America. If that is the direction doctors want you to go, I hope that your insurance will agree. My husband has been sick for a long time and I had to be very agressive to get him the treatment he needed. Don't back down if first you get a "no" to your requests!! God bless you.

I need the prayers, going to try different chemo but it doesn't sound any better.
6339My dear Friend, I am praying for your recovery and for strenght on this long road. I am walking the road with two types of breast cancer :- one is fastspreading and can only be controlled with intensive chemo and the other is operable, which they cannot do because of the other. I was itching so bad, that I thought it was the chemo, but it was viral breast cancer. Have had radiation and chemo yesterday and today. Will be repeated on Friday, and so on. Good luck and God's riuchest blessing go with you and your DH. May he also find strenght to support you and be there for you. My husband is also a spoiled man, who cannot do things for himself in the home, and do not even know how to take his own medication when I am not here. God Bless, Susie.

20463Dear Debbie,
God hears the prayers of all the faithful and He will be with you as you journey to and from the clinic. I know there have been many prayers offered for you and your husband as you travel this path. Just remember we are all with you in spirit and pray for God's tender mercy. Love and blessings to you all Chris

Clinic doctor is going to tell my oncologist to use different chemo drugs but still not a good outlook.
234253Was just praying for you tonight. I hope that tomorrow you are given a plan to work toward. Know that you are being blanketed by prayers and cyber hugs from all of your "Cute" sisters. I know that God's plan for you is the best plan and tomorrow if you start to feel alone or afraid, feel his hand on your shoulder. It will be there if you ask. Oh, and wear the hat!
by leenova54
20 Dec 2011
Thank you so much, I feel so loved and surrounded by wonderful strong women. The hat, no, not the monkey at the hospital, I'll wear my gray hat with the little lizard with ruby eyes, it's warm but it comes off cause my head gets hot and itchy. The monkey is for my parents on Christmas eve, lol!
158553Dear Debra.
Best of luck at the Cancer Treatment Center. Most of these places accept any medical insurance. They never turn anybody down. My husband goes to Fox Chase Hospital in Philadelphia. He has non-hudgekins lymphoma.
He has Medicare and AARP health insurance, and doesn't pay a dime. Right now he is on his fifth kind of Chemo treatment. Last time he was injected with "radioactive" for 3 sessions. This was another Clinical Trial, and they have hundreds of them. I'm sure they will give you something suitable for your condition. Have faith. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Hugs and blessings Rachel

Thank you, this is for the Cleveland Clinic here in Ohio, they are suppose to be really good too, my insurance only agreed to 2 visits for now, if they don't offer hope then we will try to move on to the Cancer Treatment Center if my insurance will OK it. I'm hoping for a Clinical Trial so my insurance won't fight me on it. I can't get Medicare for another 8 years, hubby just started on it in Nov. I'm gonna fight though, I promised my Mom again tonight before she started to cry again. Parents should not have to bury a child. Hubby is trying to hang tough, he lost his Mom when he was 13 and his Dad when he was early 30s, one sister in 2003 I think it was.

Debra, you have to fight them. We never went to the Cancer Center, but I wish you could come to Philly to Fox Chase. It's huge. They told us they process 1000 patients with Chemo a day. It's heartbreaking walking through the waiting rooms. I wish you the best, and we will pray for you. Take care. Hugs and blessings, Rachel
5290We have you in our hearts and prayers and will keep holding tough with you.
89895Dear Debra,
My prayers are with you and your DH. Wish I lived closer so I could give you a big hug in person.
You're so brave and strong, and such a good example of how to face difficult times with honor, humor and humility.
Love,
Jacqueline
70914Deb, Here is a huge hug from me to you too.I am praying right now ans I type, so please excuse mistakes.

Thank you, it is hard, today was so much more pain than usual and it's on the side that has the least bad spots so I don't understand why I hurt there.

Did your ribs on your right side suddenly flair with pain? I have broken ribs simply by coughing... so I wonder.
30638Debra, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this dificult time in your life. The cutie who sent the heart sent you love. I am sending hugs and love your way too.

Thank you so much, it really is tough, trying to be strong for my parents, my hubby and my sons plus a couple of friends who tried so hard not to cry around me.

Thank you Stella, be glad when the day is over and I know if they can do anything to help me. My poor hubby is beside himself. He can't take care of himself without me telling him what to do.
15978Thinking of & praying for you tomorrow. We ask why some people suffer...but remember Christ's answer as why one man suffered "To give glory to the Father." Ah. I can see your giving glory to God even thru all this. His well be done, but praying our heart's desire is His will.

19 Dec 2011
Thank you. I am trying to be as strong as I can with His help and everyone who cares so much.

I hold back the tears as much as I can, hubby doesn't know what to do or say and I know he is so worried. My Mom makes me cry!

by leenova54
17 Dec 2011
Yes, it touches me every time I see an envelope from a cutie. No tests on the 20th, they will just be looking over all the tests I have already had, the hospital put it on 4 CDs for the doc to look at so it will take him or her some time!
44810Dear Debbie,
How wonderful to receive that special red heart, just when you needed it(it wasn't me!)
I want you to know I'm thinking of you over on the other side of the world and will be praying for you on the 20th.
What a thoughtful gesture too that you are giving your friend. Keep your humour and as you say, whatever is going to happen is in God's hands. His Will be done. Love to you and your family Chris
by leenova54
17 Dec 2011
Thanks Chris! When I told my friend I thought she was going to cry but she knows how hard it is on me when my Mom cries so she sucked it up and didn't cry...at least while I was there.

Thank you! Very true, I talked to Him last night during my shower and told Him how I would like this to go but in the end, I am not the one who gets to decide.
360401WOW, how special - too bad they didn't let you know who they were - but I know that they support and love you or they wouldn't have done it. Way to go!
I will be praying for you dear in reference to the Cleveland trip - please know - while you are gone - we will all be thinking about you and wondering how everything is going for you. Travel safely.
