I am somewhat confused - you mean you are TN with 14 positive nodes since May, and your Onc. had not prescribed Chemo yet? If that is the case, kick him out, man, that is shocking. I am so glad you have found someone so good now, I feel like coming and seeing the same doctor, no matter where she is. Good Luck with everything. I think you gonna be fine now that you have someone so great.

Ichthammol Ointment should be obtainable in tube or jar form at any good pharmacy.

Sorry in advance this a rant that I need to get out!
Well this year really SUCKS - BIG TIME!!! So I get cancer, sister has had at least 3 surgeries for other stuff and this past thursday my baby boy (DOG) of only 3 years was hit by a car right in front of me and died instantanoulsly! He was my guy that got me through all of the other sh** in my life and now this. I love him soooo much - how does someone get over something like this?! I just don't think I can handle it. I know he wasn't a person but he was my little guy that I loved like a baby! Some of you may think that I am crazy but it hurts really bad right now. If anyone wants to and can prayers sent my way and for my baby - Mike, would be great. Even though I am pissed at the big guy right now anything to get me through this would be accepted with open arms! Thanks.

Kelli: Oh I'm so sorry to hear of all that's going on! You're not alone... I've had a rough year too. Oh, and your baby boy will be waiting on you in Heaven. I'm a firm believer. No, he wasn't human, but with God all things are possible! I lost my dog of 16 years last year, and he's waiting on me too. I wish I had an answer as to why everything keeps going wrong. But none of us have that answer. I will say a prayer for you though. You lost a member of your family that you are mourning.. it's just as hard as the death of a child for some people.0

Kelli - I completely understand. My thoughts are with you now. My little buddy Brandie (bichon-poodle) provided companionship when I went through my treatment and I know how hard it would be to lose him. I don't know what to say. The only saving grace is that it was instantaneous and he didn't suffer.

Kelli,
so very sorry for the pain you are going through. I totally understand such love...and to happen in front of you - I just can't imagine such a nightmare.
My dog always jumped up and sat with me when I was having bad moments during chemo..always had a sense when I was crying

Kelli- I feel your pain. My own beloved Kerry Blue Terrier saw me through my last chemo, only to fail the very next day. I know he lingered on until he knew I was through the worst.
LAST NIGHTI stood by your bed last night; I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you; I smiled and said, "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.

Kelli - so sad to hear about your beloved dog. I hope you remember all the best of times and that brings you joy.

Ohhhh Kelli, I am so sorry for your loss. Our animals are not our children, but they sure feel like it at times. I own four dogs and love them with all my heart. All four of them stayed by my side (literally) during chemo. It was as if they sensed I needed them. I can't imagine not having any of them around. I remember after losing the very first dog I had owned after moving out as adult, I came home from work, sat on the couch and watched television for weeks. I didn't speak to anyone (except when needed) or do anything other than feel sad. It was after several weeks of this that my neighbor came over with one of the four dogs I own now (a sweet Sheltie) that needed a home - the distraction helped me to get out of my funk as well as time. (((HUGS)))) I am so sorry and wish I could just take your pain away.

Kelli:
I am so sorry about your loss. It's so terribly painful, I know the feeling well. I had to put my 16 year old poodle to sleep a year ago, and I still miss her tremendously. She was like a child and best friend all rolled up in one package.

For sure your little guy will be waiting for you in heaven with open arms. You both are so connected and will remain connected for eternity, as both of you are connected by soul, not body. Bodies come and go, but souls never die, they are connected to one another in eternity, I firmly believe in this. Sending you tons of love and prayers, may God bless you at this time.

I'm so sorry, Kelli. Of course you're mourning your furry boy. I remember losing my 12 yo kitty to a stroke within weeks of losing my Dad to lung cancer. It was the last straw and I just sat on the floor and bawled. Give yourself as much time to mourn as you need and don't worry about other people's reactions. As for the 'big guy', He'll understand, too.

Kelli, so sorry to hear about your furbaby. It is so difficult to lose them when we love them so much and has been there for us in the good and not good times. That unconditional love.
Hi everyone, I am a TN as well. I had IBC dx in 2008 have been NED for a year and a half. Now the cancer is back in my bones. They tested for the tumors and TN again. I begin Abraxane/Avastin just waiting for approval from my ins cause the chemo drugs are so expensive. I did not know that each cancer the tumors can be different receptors. It will be nice getting to know you all.

ebann. So sorry you have to be back on the boards. Look forward to getting to know you. I was stationed at Luke AFB back in 1981/1982. Loved the area but it got way to hot for me in the summer.

Kelli: So sorry to hear of your loss-Our pets are like children to us and they are getting up there in age and I cannot imagine life without them. I also know that I cannot imagine life without pets, so give yourself time to grieve. Hugs.
HeidiToo: Thank you for the lovely poem. We are here in Kentucky right now so I just had to share your joke with everyone--we all had a good laugh over it.
LauraJane: Yay!!! I am so happy that you found a great group of dr's to go to battle with. Can't wait to hear about New York!

ebann - let us know how it goes with the Avastin and insurance. One of my friends is TN and is fighting with her insurance to go on Avastin. She was on the PARP trial, but got kicked off when her scans showed progression in her liver. She was on Navelbine, but it was really hard on her. She's going on Taxol with Avastin (but will be on Taxol until insurance approves the Avastin). I commented to you on another thread. Sorry to hear your bc came back.
