Marion,
I am feeling much better. I am now about 13 weeks. The morning sickness and just plain ugh feeling is slowly going away. I am due November 17th. It has really helped our family having something positive to look forward to.
I wonder how many things are on the market now that will have to be taken off of the market someday. How frightening!
Talk to you soon
AmyOh my, what to say, what to say…..
I was so shocked when I saw this. I knew that Jeff’s health was failing, but I was still so shocked.
What a relief Jeff’s success story was to me personally when we first started this journey in 2006. I heard so many horror stories about people only living for a short time with cc, but then I heard about Jeff living with cancer for so long, and while I know that it was a struggle for him, it gave me hope that Mom would be here for longer than I had initially thought.
To Jeff’s family, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sarah,
I am so sorry.My dad died suddenly from a heart attack in 1996. I remember the firsts of every occassion after he died. Yes, it does get easier after the first. The seconds the thirds the fourths, each time it gets a little easier. I used to hate it when people would tell me that things get easier with time, but after time I could see that they were right.
Big hugs to you,
AmyHi!
Tess, very interesting! I will have to check into it. I haven’t ever heard of that.
Kris, Your thoughts weren’t rude at all, I think that you are probably right on! Although you know how it is when you have any strange symptom your mind runs wild. Since Mom went to the dr and found out that it isn’t from the cancer, she is feeling better. Our mind can do strange things to us.
Hope that everyone has a nice weekend.
Thanks for the responses. It is so helpful to have everyone here who understands!
Amy
Marion, Thanks for your response. Hearing the heartbeat is a fantastic sound!
Mom got the results of her cat scan, and things look good. There hasn’t been any change in the spots that she has. We will go back in 3 months for another scan, until then no chemo! The dr isn’t sure what is making her hurt, but at least it doesn’t look like it is from the cancer… yea!
Have a nice day.
AmyG,
How strange it is that you posted yesterday…. just yesterday when I logged on your picture popped up at the beginning, so I tried to look up how you were doing…. then there was your post. My mom has done the Oxaliplatin and Gemzar combination. She was tired, but other than that didn’t have many side effects. The dr told her that is a good mix, and one of the most effective combinations. So sorry that you are having to go through this. You are in my prayers.
Amy
Pam,
Sorry it is belated…
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Pam
Happy birthday to you… (although you might need to cover your ears, my singing isn’t good)My mom always calls and sings happy birthday also. I understand your pain. BIG BIG hugs to you.
Amy
Oh Tess,
Big hugs to you. I can feel your pain in your post. When Mom first got sick I remember thinking about how much I missed the mom that I had before she was sick…. how much easier life was for her before the big C word. Now a couple of years later how we have adjusted to our new life, how I feel it has brought us so much closer and made us cherish each other more. I don’t even want to think about when the time comes that she is gone and we don’t have a drs apt every week and so on.Thank God we have each other to lean on.
I am praying for you.
This is such a tough journey……..
Amy
Thanks again for all of the kind words.
Kris, everyone here is very happy. I think that I would describe Mom as tickled blue… she is convinced it is a boy… guess we will see in about 16 weeks
. I wish that we could meet in person, and I would let you hold the baby as long as you like !! How are you feeling? I think of you so often. We are the same age, and I really feel a connection with you. Your posts are as if you are just sitting in front of us talking. I thank God often that we all have each other.Thank you again to everyone!
AmyThank you for your kind thoughts. We are really excited. This gives us something positive to think about for a while. Mom is feeling fantastic since she has stopped taking her chemo, so she is able to celebrate with us! I am very early, so please keep me in your prayers.
Thanks again!!!
AmyBarbara, This is such a difficult process. You are definitely NOT alone…. I have been so snappy with Gary (my husband) lately, especially when Mom is feeling really down. I am homeschooling Maddy and I have been slacking so much lately. We are only doing preschool this year, but will be starting to homeschool kindergarten in the fall. I have to get myself together.
Big hugs to you. You are a wonderful daughter and mom!
