I was just thinking of Pam and hoping her recovery is going well.
Has anyone heard from her? If so I hope its good news.

Been thinking of her too, and we all are, I am sure. No, I haven't heard, but the fact that we are thinking about her must mean that we are still sending her our very best wishes, thoughts, and prayers.Life is short, live it with this awareness. -
I was wondering the same thing too and even checked the lottery page tonight where she was very active. I just finished reading TUG and found her posting there today because of the TUG banner. I missed the TUG thread completely where she wrote about her hospital visit. Here is her update from today.
It sounds like she is OK and I am positive that she will be back here again too.

Sounds upbeat and strong. I hope she's doing well. The lymph node thing with the drains is no fun. I had to redo Nancy's. shaggyComment

Hugs to you, Pam....we did catch your update on the original thread, and this is just another thread where we were sending you our thoughts and love....sounds like the big part of this has been faced with valor and optimism, and the chemo may feel like insult to the injury, but you can do it...we are all here and wishing you the best outcomes. Even when you cannot type or keep in touch, we will be thinking of you and sending you vibes for strength, health and happiness.Life is short, live it with this awareness.Comment

Pam, I know you are frightened and you have a right to be. I always said just shoot me if I was ever diagnosed with cancer. Ever since my friend Nancy was diagnosed I've tried to be there for her. When I went with her to chemo I lost a lot of my fear, it didn't seem to be as bad as I thought and Nancy tolerated it pretty well, no severe throwing up, etc. She said day 3 after chemo was the worse, that she felt like she had the flu.
I am so sorry you had a complication. Nancy is having trouble with the drainage and had to have tubes put in again today. I'm taking her out shopping for something frivolus tomorrow and lunch.
I'm just telling you this to let you know sort of what to expect, everyone is different. She is starting radiation soon.
You are in all our prayers and mine is to give you the strenght to get thru this god awful disease. Ears are here for you when and if you need it.
Hugs, ShaggyComment

Pam, I heard that they give pills today that make you feel less queasy so you can take the chemo or radiation better. I am constantly thinking of you and hope you will feel better and be your good old self again.
We have several old friends and neighbors who are going through these treatments right now and I keep asking how they feel and they say it is OK so I hope you can say the same thing too. Lots of

Once again, thanks to all..I did not realize for a bit that there were 3 threads....Dios Mios....You guys really are rooting for me....what a wonderful group of folks....may god bless all of you and keep you healthy and happy...
ah the chemo.....I am hoping a lot of it will be just my fear and that maybe I have it worse than it will be....I did tell the oncologist, that my biggest issue for me, would be Nausea/vomiting, if he can somehow keep that well little to nothing...I can pretty much take the rest I think. He laughed said most people more worried about hair loss. I told him nope, 2 pregnancies, two boys, one 9 months of vomiting, next 5 months of vomiting....note no more kids......worst thing for me nausea and vomiting.
They have 3 drugs on my list of drugs on chemo cycle that are for nausea and vomiting....I believe....The oncology surgeon asked if I was Nauseaus after surgery I told him no ( as I had told him ahead of time, get nauseaus easy, had twilight sleep once and well never again vomited for a whole day), needless to say he said well we used some drugs for the surgery to prevent it and the oncologist can use some of them for the chemo as well......I sure hope they are right....
Breastless, Bald, and with chemo running in via portacath ( which by the way is not too pretty either, had to place differently and use jugular due to very small subclavian and shoulder placement ugh...) can deal with....very tired, fluish, I think I can do too.....
Just no N/V, bald and breastless, not pretty LOL.
I pray for no vomiting, little to no nausea, and gladly give my long locks in exchange.....fingers and toes crossed......time will tell I guess....
Right now I am just happy I have two hands to use....taking one day at a time I guess...Timeshare Addict - Mexico Travel Abounds - Happy Vacations!!Comment

Been away for awhile,just chanced upon this thread------can someone just fill me in briefly on what's happening w/ Bezerk please? Thanks, AngieComment

Hi Angie, I am okay.....I survived cycle one of chemo.....passing nausea, swelling feet, bone and joint pain, insomnia, constipation etc. etc....but no vomiting...........I have to say the steroids you have to take make you very racy, unsettled and well like ready to jump out of your skin. Today was my last steroid pills until next cycle of chem on June 16th, as long as blood work is okay. Each day new side effect develops, and well it is somewhat disheartening.....I am thankful though that I feel my first cycle was not too, too bad.....and well I made it...Originally posted by Mybobalong
I keep looking at my planned and cancelled vacations and such and makes me so sad....how I wish I could just go away even for a short time, but not now....will be a good day when I can though..I have not cancelled Oct plans yet so hope , fingers and toes crossed....
Anyway, I am okay, the dealing with it all mentally is hitting me hard this day and night........but guess you just have to go with it...
Thank you for your concern.....all of you....when I hear from you folks, I have such great memories of a time before cancer when life was more normal and well it has changed for sure, but I can still dream of vacationing again soon and I can vacation thru all of you.....enjoy each moment and have many happy vacations.......thanks for your never ending support...

Pam,good to hear from you.....sorry have not been around here for awhile,whatever cancer you have,be STRONG!!!When the treatments are over,then you can go to Pvr and Zihua soon,just think about that.
Pam,is the medical technology in Mexico as good as in the usa? Isn't there a Mayo clinic that's quite famous? I'll be praying to God to give you more strength Angie
