A little hurdle

Hi Amanda,  Been thinking about you a lot.  Let's send you hope.  From the statement you made about your surgeon coming to your house - that means you definately have good professionals on your side.  These people will do everything in their power to help you.  Thought I would give you some hope by telling you this story.  My friend has secondaries in her heart (in the peri cardium)  It was diagnosed last November.  She was very ill and had to have a drain put in her heart to relieve the fluid.  She has had quite a lot of chemo treatment since then also and will continue to have regular chemo treatments.  However, as we speak she and her husband are in England visiting relies and having a holiday.  She is back paddling in the dragonboat, has seen her eldest son married in December and is looking forward to seeing a grandchild some time soon.  My friend has just turned 63 so is not a spring chicken like yourself who has lots more to fight with.  Her first diagnosis was at the same time as my first - 4.5 years ago.  There is always hope and much good life to live.  We are all with you Amanda and sending you strength to get you through this.  XLeonie
