Frank,
Thanks for posting Pam's email. I am crying with joy that she has survived even more than I imagined. She has certainly suffered more than her share but thankfully she is still alive. I have been praying so hard for her. God must have heard my prayers but threw in a few clunkers along the way.
I do believe in miracles and Pam survived the many obstacles that came her way. She must be some special lady.
Pam,
I am so sorry for all your misfortunes but so happy that you are cancer free and you have the strength (and the sense of humor) to surpass the burdens. Please don't feel obligated to to contact, we just wanted to know that you are ok. Get well and regain your strength. I think of you often and pray for you.

Well said Kay - dittos from me!
I am so glad to hear a report from Pam - I will admit that I have been getting more and more concerned. While she has had misforturnes, I am so happy to hear that she is now cancer free. I will continue to keep praying for healing.
Sorry to hear about the fall. Hip reconstruction is not fun. And having wrist problems at the same time makes it doubly hard. I'm glad to hear that you are getting better. Its no wonder you were depressed! I'd be too, I think. But as you get better, so does your outlook, I'd think.
Infusions for the bones do help. Jerry's had them, and it made a world of difference.

Sorry to have worried you all so. I have not been on computer in 3 months now.
The chemo did a number on my bones and I was standing in my closet one afternoon and just fell. Did not seem ike a big deal. I waited a few minutes and tried to get up and lo and behold could not. MY hip was defainately fractured along with ?? wrists.
Well this little fall resulted in a total hip replacement due to a severly fractured right hip, and also a fractured right wrist and a badly injured left wrist. I was in hospital for almost two weeks and then had to make all kinds of alterations to house etc. My left wrist is good now, my right is still pretty painful. My hip has done great, I have progressed from a walker to a cane to nothing now. I am slow and adapting but I can walk etc. I am receiving monthly a bone infusion medication Zometa to hopefully help rebuild my bones.
This setback also knocked the spirits out of me for awhile and depression took over. I felt 92 at only 50.
Things are looking up now though it hurts to type. I have over 9000 emails to go thru from not being on computer ( many are spam). I am going to try to clear all this out and get caught up and then I will post the whole story on the forum. Please put a small post for me that I am ok and send my love, appreciation and misses to all.
I fell beg. of Feb and was supposed to go away to Puerto Vallarta the 20th, I feel jinxed.
For the first time my husband has booked a vacation to Ixtapa for end of May to a timeshare we have there. I have not handled it at all so as to not jinx myself LOL. I have my fingers and toes crossed we go as I need to take a vacation and have a happy time for a change it has been a long year filled with doctors, medications, surgeries and complications. Seeems if there is a complication I get it. Two weeks ago I suffered a life threatening drug reaction, only me. We are now saying if it were not for bad luck I would have no luck at all. I hope the tide turns soon.
Thank you to you and everyone on Timeshare Forums, your concern and friendship thru this journey have helped more than anyone will ever know. I have tears of joy right now thinking of how fortunate I am to have such caring, loving, wonderful people in my court.
Thank you again and I'll get back on the forum as soon as possible, but do not worry I am fine, I even have hair growing back and all my tests of late are cancer free ( due again in May).
Many, many hugs,
Pam aka bezerk

I have no idea who Pam is. Wait....let me re-phrase that because judging by that letter have a pretty good idea who she is. She is one strong and determined lady who is loved and admired by many.
Pam, I wish you much happiness in your days ahead. I am so glad to manage to overcome the HUGE obstacles that stood in your way. Now you go enjoy that vacation and don't look back. You have endured a lot and your online presence has touched so many lives and you truly are an inspiration to many!!
What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited . . .
It cannot cripple Love
It cannot shatter Hope
It cannot corrode Faith
It cannot destroy Peace
It cannot kill Friendship
It cannot suppress Memories
It cannot silence Courage
It cannot invade the Soul
It cannot steal eternal Life
It cannot conquer the Spirit.
