Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Heath, in my short time with my breast cancer diagnosis, I've been shocked to hear from my friends about how many people they know who have Stage IV cancer, and the cancer is either under control or in remission. You are wisely seeking out those stories for your wife. They are where you both need to keep your focus, there and loving that new baby of yours. You don't want to look back 5 years from now and think of the time you spent in mental suffering when you didn't need to. I know you will hear the positive stories, too. Hang your hat on them, not the others. Prayers and seeing you both at peace, Ellie 9a. Liver Metasis (sp) Posted by: " michigangrad96 " hpapp@... michigangrad96 Date: Sun Jan 28, 2007 12:13 pm ((PST)) Looking for postive information to share with my wife. We are nine days in with the first chemo undergone. The cancer has spread to the lymph nodes as well as the liver. Our baby is only 6 mo.s old, and we need something to hang on to; everything you read about this type IV is so negative. Please, someone share some success stories with me, so I can relate that positivity to her. This is so hard on me, I can't imagine what it's like on her.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hi Heath, Was sad to read about you and your wife. A six month old baby is such a blessing - I wish you and your wife could enjoy this time without having to deal with cancer. I was diagnosed 7 years ago and staged at IIIB - with inflammatory breast cancer. I had a 40% chance of making it for 18 months - no one said anything about a longer period of time. Like I said, that was 7 years ago. During these past 7 years I've kept active in a couple of bc support groups, most especially the ibc group. I am cyber friends with women who are Stage IV for years. Their situation is treated as a chronic disease. Many maintain a high quality of life. There are many, many success stories. I must have missed your intro post - and I'm wondering what type of cancer your wife has. Could it be inflammatory breast cancer (ibc)? Please give her a hug from a sister survivor. I am sending prayers to both of you. Regards, Ann Chemo Hats: www.cjhats.com > > Thank you so much for the information. It's reassuring. Good luck > to you in your fight.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hi, Sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis. I found breastcancer dot org has a discussion forum. In it they have a section for people with metastized cancer. You have to sign up to log into it. I found more useful information on that board because the voice really isn't hear about metastic cancer. At least that is how i felt. My mom has mets in her liver. We got some good news last week, her blood test markers were down 400 points. They are still way elavated, but I consider good news for my mom. I felt some more relief over their because they talk about the different mets, what drugs their on, and good news, well and bad news about people progress.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hi Heath, I had stage iv BC with metastasis too, but it's move to my bone not liver. It's in my right shoulder bone (the first BC was on the left, I have no idea how they could move so far). Before I had chemo my shoulder and arm was painful and I couldn't move it. I am right handed and that made me not able to do my stuff as usual. But after do the chemo 2 cycles, herbal therapy and acid- alkaline diet, my condition is getting better and better. Now my right hand can move again freely, without any pain and no pain killer taken. My Dr. and his team were surprised, because at the first time they didn't have much hope for me, and told me to consider surgery (bone transplantation) or if the case getting worse, it could be an amputation. But they didn't want me to be handicapped so soon (I'm only 22 and working as an illustrator and graphic designer) so they suggested me to try the chemo first to reduce the size of cancer. They plan to gave me 3 cycles of chemo and then do the MRI after that. If the size of cancer could be reduced, maybe they still have to do the surgery but at last not amputate. Maybe my story not so good since even my condition is better I still have no idea about how it will end, but there's still a hope. There's nothing easy in dealing with stage iv bc because we must prepare for the worst situation. But I believe if we still have a hope and positive thinking, a good thing will come . And we all fighting together, I'm having my family beside me, like your wife having you and the baby (I hope one day I'll be able to have one too!) Take care, Tyas > > 9a.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 lily, The mind will drive you nuts. I have spent the last 10 months on the internet searching for the best ways to cure this thing.. Some days I am very very up... and some days I feel helpless.. Like you said prayer is the best medicine.. if for nothing else.. to have strength to get out of bed every morning and begin a new day..and to say thanks for giving us that Day... Kiss your children and hug them a lot... my kids and grandkids have been my salvation.. and my husband too.. this is the first time in 35 years that I can remember not being the 'Strong One " for the family.. I actually collapsed one day into my husbands arms and just sobbed.. and he let me stay there and just held me.. like I said.. the first time in 35 years of marriage that I had ever done that.. funny how much we find out during all of this..

Your children rely on you and I truly believe everything is up to God as well. May you keep the path of healthiness and happiness.

Like nne said, your English is just fine; I had no trouble at all understanding your words and I sure have no trouble understanding that you are one of us. This disease is our common thread no matter where we are from or what language we speak. We all look at the same moon and sun and we are sisters together in our struggles. It is my fervent prayer that someday no woman, anywhere, anytime has to fight this disease and live what we all are living. Peace to you Lily. > > Lily, > Your English is just fine.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hello Namaste, This is her husband writting (with intervention of the wife ). My name is . We have a 3 year old angel and a 1 year old little bear (whom can already turn the door knobs). We also have a teenager who thinks she lives in orange county ( as on TV ) with a phone permanently attached to her ear. No fault to her! Had I been a teenager at this time I think I would have been just as bad with, perhaps, a little more geek-tronics. I wanted to share a few words about our situation. For example, today, she was given a clean bill of health from a CT Scan taken yesterday. While we are not declared as being in remission this is third consectutive scan where nothing was found. It a sliver of light in all this darkness. We wanted to share this with you becuase when this began we searched all over for any sign of success or survival. We found good results in Spain, where her brother lives, and in Ecuador which is her home country. At this time, we are keeping healthy as much as possible and have been active, again, in all parts of our lives that we were prior to the start of this road. Included in our activities is prayer and giving thanks to God for good health. We (she... ) would like you to know that she's currently using Herceptin and the results have been good. Well, I can't think anythink else... We'll keep everyone in the groups in our prayers. & Lily Thank you for your story. It sounds so positive compared to what else you can read. That's what we need. Good luck and keep on fighting the good fight.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hello and Lily, I'm so glad the scans are good! I just finished a year of Herceptin. It's been touted as a miracle drug that offers hope for an aggressive type of cancer. I also am a member of her2support.org, where many stage iv women are on herceptin permanently with NED. Lily, I hope you continue to get good news. , you are a supportive husband - and family is so important for us in facing any challenge. take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Thank you so much for the insight. We are off to the oncologist today for the third chemo tx. She is on taxol and doxil right now. I honestly don't know if it's the proper protocol. We are going to UCLA as soon as we can get in. What exactly is herceptin?
