Secondaries

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.

Dear Belinda,

We are here for you.  And YES! that 'thinking positive' stuff is great in theory for those who aren't going through ths crap.  Some of my family have stopped speaking to me, they think 'I'm all better now', but you are experiencing what we all fear the most.  I tried to talk to my family about funerals and stuff and they tell me "Don't talk about that sort of thing"............ok, I'll just walk off and whistle like nothing is any different, you know stick my head in the sand.  I pray dearly that things pick up for you and remember as I said "We are here for you" Vent your little cotton socks off, it's ok by us - love and hugs from Josie x x x 

You are amazing Belinda, so inspiring and strong. I am so happy to hear you blogging and I'm praying for some more good news without the puzzles. It sucks you are going to have to lose your hair yet again I can understand why it worries your girls too. Lucky you have such a beautiful face to compensate. Stay strong and well and continue enjoying and loving your wonderful family. You are living and appreciating life now more than some ever do in a life time. Well done you clever chicken. Hugs Lara xx
