Suzannegm,

A clear scan! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! San Diego is great. That’s where my daughter lives. I don’t know how high end you plan to go, but everytime I used to go there, I would stay at the Blue Sea Lodge on Pacific Beach Drive. I’d get a first floor ocean front room with a king bed and a balcony, have my cereal out on the balcony in the morning, walk along the boardwalk or down on the beach; we’d walk on the boardwalk at night. It’s a colorful life and not hoity toity, but it’s very clean. It’s close to other features. Sea World is the most fun feature for me. I haven’t stayed there since I’ve had this cc so summer months might be a little spendy. It’s a beach hotel so expect some sand. So happy about your clear scans, my dear.

Dear SarahLindsay,

Every individual processes the death of their loved ones differently as well as the time it takes. It took me forever to move on when my mom died in 2005, and I played the video we had made everyday multiple times for months until finally I decided I just couldn’t do it anymore. Because I’m dealing with advanced cc now, all these questions you have I worry about my own daughter Sarah asking. I’m reading a book called Ninety Minutes in Heaven. I pretty much concentrate on the Ninety Minutes in Heaven part. It helps me. It helps me when thinking about my mom, myself, and I hope it will help ease my daughter’s pain and grief when the time comes. Maybe it will help you, SarahLindsay

Faith in Christ,
Sophie

Thank you ljg, your response meant alot to me since I was so emotionally affected by your post. My daughter won’t even get on this site so I don’t ask her to anymore, but I am supported by my niece Hollie who will read me some posts when I feel like I can’t get on, and she will also post updates or support.

Did you understand when I said yell at Oprah for me? Lainy received letters from caretakers, and I received some from about 15 people with cc. Then Lainy sent all the letters to Oprah. We were hoping Oprah would make the public aware of this disease. Not a word back so I thought a good “Yell at Oprah” would be appropriate.

I hope your East weekend is joyous, ljg. Thank you so much.

Dear Pam,

Please accept my condolences for you and your family. I am happy for you in the sense that your mom felt no pain, was with family, and it was peaceful but also sad for you and your family.

Pam, thank you for saying your mom was peaceful and felt no pain. Although it was hard for you to make this post, it makes those of us who are so fearful feel some peace also.

Love,
Sophie

Hello Ladybug,

Such great news about your husband Dave! We can all rejoice right along with you. Hope everything is going perfect.

All the best,
Sophie

Dear Julygirl, you have every right to feel low. You’ll find that days will be like a ride on a roller coaster, but when you are feeling like that, remember you are going to have the surgery. That’s the best chance for cure and many many good years left or a lifetime left. The only news better right now is that you don’t have cancer at all. So keep yourself strong with a healthy diet, get out there and buy a new robe and slippers and some good books and remember, we are all praying for you, and you can say whatever you want or feel on this site, and you will find empathy, compassion, laughter, and understanding and so many wonderful people to support you.

All the very best,
Sophie
