Dear Sara,
I am so sorry for the loss of your sister. I am glad the pain and suffering are over for her and that she has moved on to a better place with no more death, or mourning or crying or pain….. I will pray for her son, you and her family to find the strength and peace to get through this time. Her love will live on in the life of her son and family. I can feel the strong connection you had with her and I am so sorry for your sadness. Comfort and peace to you….love and hugs….MelindaHelen,
What a great friend you are to Bonnie. I am so sorry she is going through this. I have had incredible friends come along beside me through this journey and I know what a huge difference it makes to have your true friends beside you through the hard times. Hugs and prayer to you and Bonnie.
MelindaSending lots of good wishes and prayers your way for great results on this trial!! Please keep us informed. …..Melinda
Dear Sprinter,
Sorry about the biopsy results, way to be proactive in getting it done as soon as possible. I wish you continued success with this fight….sounds like you are conquering each battle as they come along. Please keep us posted with the results after treating your shoulder mets. Prayers to you!
MelindaThat is awesome news Richard!!!! I am looking forward to hearing back what you find out, progress is all we can ask for….one foot in front of the other! Keep up the good work and tell Jeanne to hang in there! Lots of prayers coming your way!!
MelindaCathy that is such great and wonderful news! I love your attitude and how you tell your story! I love the fact that you never lose sight of what it took to get your new livers….the sacrifice that others made. I love that you are so adamant about not wasting your gift! You Rock!!
MelindaSuzy and Crissie,
I understand how that fear could creep up in your mind….but please don’t let it rule your life. We have no control over how or when we will die. Don’t let this fear cripple your ability to be able to live the life you have NOW. I often worry about the possibilities of my children getting it….that is definitely one legacy I DO NOT want to leave them……but I do my best to teach them how to live each day to the fullest. They have learned so much from my journey and one of the best gifts we have received as a family battling this monster is to not let fear control the time we have left. We truly do believe that each day is a gift! My prayers to you both for peace and comfort for the future…..take care!
MelindaOh Kim….thank you so much for the kind words, I just want to help in anyway I possibly can! You and your dad are so inspiring to me! I love the way you fight with all you have for your mom! I hope that with the sequencing she had done it will open more doors! Please keep us updated with her progress. I will continue to pray for her….please give a hug to your dad for me, I so enjoyed my conversations with him! I could feel the love he has for your mom…..so special!
Love and prayers to you!
MelindaDear Eric,
I have had great success with TIL trial at National Institute of Health. It is an immunotherapy trial. The only thing is that if you have any stents in place, I believe that could possibly disqualify you due to the risk of infection. I always believe it is worth a call to NIH to find out….there could always be other trials available as well. The link is below and the contact numbers are listed at the bottom of the page when you open the link. Please let me know if you have any other questions, I would be very happy to help!!
All my best,
MelindaHi Michael,
So sorry to hear about your father, I am glad he has you to be such great support in his fight. From personal experience, the TIL trial can be harsh. Don’t get me wrong I would do it again in a heartbeat but going through it is rough.I know how you feel though….my dad is 79 and fighting leukemia. I want to do everything possible to help him and find treatment for him, but the truth is the treatment is harder on him at this stage of his life then the cancer….so he does what he can for as long as he can without altering too much quality of life for now.
I hope and pray that you are able to find something that will work for your father, I truly believe that immunotherapy is going to be the answer for so many…..just can’t come soon enough!!
Take care and God Bless!
MelindaDear Crissie,
I am sorry for the loss of your father. I am sure the pain is still so real. I would just like to say that cc has already taken so much from you, so please don’t allow the fear of the future get to you. Don’t give cc anymore power! Everyday is a gift and I agree with all that Randi said above. Live, love and enjoy every moment!
Prayers to you!
Melinda
