Hello to you all. I'm still alive, just wanted you all to know that since it's been so long since I posted. I have beeng having a hard time I must admit. The study drug and Xeloda did nothing except make me feel horrible. My pain got to such a level that I wanted to die. After trying everything from morphine, which made me crazy with hallucinations and other bad side effects, to oxycontin, to 4 vicodin which also did no good. I'm now on scheduled oxycontin, a very strong narcotic along with fentanly patches, which is another very strong narcotic. I'm not in unbearable pain but I can't drive because of the drugs. Right now I'm on a new chemo I started 2 weeks ago called Abraxane. It has made me very tired. My hair is almost completely gone after only one treatment and it was down to my shoulders :o( I'm trying to get over pneumonia I've had for several weeks. Tomorrow I get my second Abraxane treatment and I hope it's easier than the first. Since my last post I turned 47, Dennis turned 41, Nick turned 10 and tomorrow my Lucas will be 13. It's so hard to believe that I'm going to have a teenager. I'm so blessed to have made it this long to see this day. The boys are doing well but very worried about me. They know how dire and serious things are getting with me. We have faith that we'll be okay no matter what. God is good to us and will see us through this. Just keep us in your prayers and know that I love you all. Take care and I'll try to do better keeping touch.
Peace and love,
Linda
