Secondaries
I am dealing with secondaries...I'm not going to lie to you it is shit! planning your own funeral...crap! Telling your kids you won't see them grow up! totally, utterly gut wrenching crap!

Belinda I am so sorry to hear your news. You are an inspiration to many. To be so brave to try another chemo shows your undeniable never ending love for your family. I have everything crossed that the next round of treatment is far more successful and helps to relieve any pain you are feeling. I can't imagine how you manage to find the strength day after day but your courage amazes me. I am sending all my love and wishes to you and your family xx Lara xx

Hi Belinda, well my darling - what can I say, I am shocked and deeply upset - it makes me realise how darn fragile everything is. Unusual for me but I am having difficulty in expressing myself, but can I say that I wish you love. X x x Josie

Well ladies I am sad to report that things are NOT going well...
I have been trying Abraxane at half strength for the past 3 months and it has been an EPIC FAIL to say the least! Many of my tumors have tripled in size and I have had extensive progression all around. I am totally & uttererly gutted :(
I knew treatment was not going well as I wasn't feeling very tired and short of breathe and have been in ALOT of pain. But did not expect things to have gone pear shaped so quickly....
Soo...basically now I have been refered to Pallative care for pain management and have chosen to try yet another chemo in the hope it may buy me a bit more time with my 3 beautiful children and very brave husband! Although my Oncologist has advised me if this doesn't work...I may only have weeks left :O(
Just in case, I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all you ladies who have offered me so much kindness and support through this journey, it's been tough and painful but at the end of the day I have gotten a year with secondaries and time to prepare my family and tell them how much I dearly love them....that in it'self is a wonderful gift :)
Peace out my Pink Sistahs! LOVE TO YOU ALL xox

Benign ? How good would that be !! I've got EVERYTHING crossed.
Haha - love your h grumbling about housework. Mine hasn't yet, but I'm ready for it !
Your photo sessionsounds wonderful , stick them up all over the house, have those smiling faces lifting your spirits every day. I'm not suggesting you stick your head in the sand, but it seems to me that you are keeping a very realistic outlook and part of that is being hopeful. Bodies do weird things, sometimes the unexpected happens. Here's hoping that's YOU.
Keep fighting girl.
