    I am speechless...I can't even think straight after seeing this devastating news about Cy's passing. I can't even get work done today. I have to continue to think intelligently that Cy is in a so much better place,free of suffering and in peace.

    God bless you,Cheryl. In our hearts you will always be.

    I will be always looking for rainbows.

    Hugs and prayers,

    Candie

    There is a message behind my picture.  The tribe is sitting by the campfire, searching for spirits.  I believe in spirits.  I believe I have an Indian spirit watching over me.  And Im hoping that spirit will help me find strength.  Help me figure out what in the world is happening.  Im past the tears.  Im mad, worried, and frightened - yet somehow its better now that Im here with all of you.  
     
    I have read everything.  So many profound things have been said.  So much sadness.  I have to tell ya, Im really feeling confused.  Numb.  And Im trying to come up with the words that will somehow make us all feel better.  I cant find them.  
     
    Colleen:  Im so upset.  I lost my breath when I read your post.  How in the world did this happen?  It sounded like such a simple procedure.  I just cant believe this is happening.  It feels surreal to me.   I keep reading that you have an appointment with a RAD ONC!  What the fck.  I know your scared.  I want to fix it and I cant.  Just know that we are here for you.  Now Im thinking there must be staging to this?  Are they going to do anymore tests?  I have looked it up too and its confusing to this clinical nurse, so its probably scaring you.  Please sit in the middle of the circle.  The campfire is strong.  There are many of us gathered.  You are not alone.  We are with you.
     
    DebC:  HOw awful you had to go for the MRI after hearing about CY.  Thats just not fair.   Im speechless.  Like I said earlier, I just want to know what the heck is going on and I want all of this to stop right now!  Im praying with all my heart that you will be safe, comforted, and that the results of all these tests are gonna come out good.  
     
    Ya know, we went through this another time I remember well.  It was August 2006.  That was when Gina started the wagon circle.  We need to stand strong together and help our sisters - and ourselves.  

    Dont feel like saying much more tonight.  Know you all are in my heart and my thoughts.

    Came here to hold hands with all my sisters and brother here.

    CY - we will remember you always.

    Gina - you said it so well.

    Deb - thought about you all morning and prayed that the node from November would no longer show up on your scan. Sending you a big hug. I hope you can get the surgeon to do the biopsy soon so you don't have to wait so long.

    Colleen - my goodness - you got a double whammy - first Brac-2 and then this. Putting you in the middle of the circle with all of our arms around you. Sending up prayers that all will be well. Big hugs too.

    Love and hugs to all,

    Suz

    Have you ever felt like just pulling the covers over your head and giving up?

    Even though I know that is not an option, that is exactly what I feel like doing.

    Why? Why? Why? can't they find a cure for this S.O.B?

    Deb:  I am glad that you were able to have your CT today, and will be biting my fingernails until we hear the B9.

    Colleen:  Unacceptable............you will be okay.  I know nothing about your dx today...............but I do know that you are in the middle of the circle and we're all watching over you.

    I have my Onc appointment tomorrow.................something in me is saying, "why bother?"...............................I guess, like most, I'm not in the frame of mind to be posting today.

    Hugs,

    Neesie

    Colleen, I am so sorry to hear of your new dx.  You will kick it's butt, just like before!

    Deb, I am waiting to hear about your B9 test.  It will be ok.

    Of all the sisters here on BCO, I know that Cheri was one of the closest to CY.  They had a very special friendship.  Cheri just got the devastating news today that her brother, who was also her best friend, died in his sleep last night at the young age of 55.  She is heartbroken, and my heart is breaking for her.  Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers at this very very difficult time.

    Thanks for letting us know about Cheri, Charlene. 

    ((((DEB))))  ((((Colleen))))   ((((Cheri))))  ((((CY's Family)))) 

    I'm numb.  Prayers for everybody.  I'm not trying to leave anybody out.

    Charlene - please give my heartfelt condolences to Cheri. I lost two of my brothers who were very close to me and it was devastating. To lose two people you are so close to in one day is just awful. Putting Cheri in the center of the circle. 

    Such a sad, sad day.

    Love and hugs,

    Suz

    Suz, thank you so much, I will do that.  Cheri is strong but she is enduring too much right now.  Thank you for putting her in the center of the circle.

    Love and hugs,

    Geez - When it rains it pours I guess.

    So sorry to hear about your brother Cheri, I'm thinking of you and your family.

    Everyone - I'm sorry, I am only up because I called a friend to bring me some Tylenol (can you believe I don't have any in the house, and it is the only thing I can take!) I am sitting here feeling the love and support from you all. I will be sure to come back for a long post, but for now, please know how very much it means to me to have your hugs. I will hold them close, along with Warren's Junior Asparagus stuffed animal (from Veggie Tales) that lights up and says, "I'm not scared" when you squeeze it. Something made me go get it and put it in my bed with me last night.

    Love to you all,

    Colleen

    Hey Colleen -

    I am sending you and Jr. Asparagus a big hug.  Squeeze him once for me, would ya?  I'm looking at the clock WAY too much....I hope tomorrow brings good things for both of us.  Hang in there and listen to Jr...he's a smart asparagus.

    Love Ya

    Deb - I might just dig out my armadillo (a nod to my favorite book, A Prayer for Owen Meany, and the true meaning of friendship) and the very first stuffed animal I ever bought for Warren, a manatee, for good measure! I am hoping for good news for you tomorrow, and I'm hoping for peace and strength for every single one of us.

    OK, 2 extra strength tylenols seem pretty wimpy based on how much this ear is hurting me right now, but I'm hoping they take the edge off so I can get some more sleep!

    God saw you were getting tired

    A cure was not meant to be,

    So He put his arms around you 

    And whispered come with me.

     

    With broken hearts we loved you

    As we heard you had passed away

    Although we love you deeply

    We could not make you stay

     

    Your golden heart stopped beating

    And your caring soul was put to rest,

    God broke our hearts to prove to us

    He only takes the best

    I don't know the author of this poem, it says it all for me.  Yes, we keep coming to the boards to read to find comfort, to reach out.  

    May our Heavenly Father bless each of you.   Brenda

    I usually get the chance to check the boards during the day and I've been gone all day.  Such a sad day today.

    Colleen, I'm sorry to hear your news.  Is there anything we can do to help you?

    Char, I'm so sorry to hear about Cheri's brother.  Cheri was very close to Cheryl so it has been a doubly tough day for her.

    Deb, I'm so hoping for good news tomorrow.

    To all of you who are in need of support, we are here for you.

    I haven't been on the computer for a few days, just wanted to check in tonight, and now I'm so numb. I can't believe Cy is gone. I felt I knew her, just by seeing all the beautiful pictures of her posted. She was a beautiful person, and now a beautiful angel.



    Deb, Colleen, and Cheri--keeping you all at the top of my prayer list.
