I can relate to the anxiety and worry we all live with. I never get headaches, but today my head feels funny and I get a sharp pain every once in a while. So, of course I already have myself diagnosed with brain mets. Does the anxiety ever leave?

Hello Cathytoo, I think is hard to put away de anxiety, but we can do things to help, in the hospital talk me about try with yoga, meditacion, pray.
Im looking for a yoga teacher now, and last saturday I take my firs class of guitar. The teacher teach me "Ode to Joy" Im doing really funny now.
Im sorry about your brains mets, I hope u find a way to pass them away. I take some granules of marijuana a la D60.
Maybe u can find them there. I dont know if tha legal there. Before the Chemo, mi family doctor send me "mally" but the oncologist tell me dont take since the chemo.

hi Maria, I'm the one with the brain Mets
but I really do feel fine.
I had targeted radiation done in Nov and I'm still super tired from it..doc says another month of this. The first link was very interesting and I swear my doc explained he was getting me in some study that used a version of that with the first type of chemo we tried. We stopped all of that when everything went crazy again ( it did work great...at first )...I may have told you that I also use medical marijuana ( MM ) and I have used it since I was diagnosed...I never stopped using it during or after my treatments. I really believe it is helping...I've had two ONC say how amazed they are that I haven't needed chemo in over a year. I really hope I can make that last....radiation is a breeze compared to that. I would really love to start yoga again but I have three good sized dogs and for some reason when I'm alone on the floor..they think it's play time.it is kinda fun but yoga is not going to happen...lol. I find walking the best for me...( I walk really slow ) I can mediate, enjoy nature, get some peace and quiet, get some strength back in all those sore spots and it really doesn't matter how I feel...weather permitting...I can always walk at least a couple houses because I know I will always feel better...so its the only thing I will actually do...lol. kinda hard to be that lazy if it's only 2 houses, next week I may make it to the park.Keep shining bright

I feel really good, a little tired but good, with a good apetit so I just have a good lunch.
I want to do yoga but I dont know if for that I have to be strong. Well for now I m going to rest.
TAlk to u tomorrow

I Marias, very interesting article. I love to garden and I haven't seen that plant anywhere, no nurseries or on line and I live to far north for it to grow wild. Do you have it growing near you? It would be worth a try, your body may like it. You may be tired but I think you would enjoy yoga. You can find some easy beginner moves on YouTube and do them from home when you are feeling to tired to leave the house. Good luck

HI ladies, my name is Mandy and my mum is Annie (Cocker_Spaniel). She asked me to give you an update as she knew you were wondering where she was. So far it's been a rough long road for her and instead of the holiday we hoped for she ended up in hospital for whole holiday plus a few extra days. She has had one lot of chemo and then on the way to our holiday resort she started feeling unwell with a very high temperature, so ended up in Hospital. It now been found out that she has the super bug MRSA with septicaemia. They doctors are still working out how to get rid of this bug, which if not treated could mean the loss of her life, within 5 to 10 days. She has been on IV antibiotics since the start of her Hospital stay and everyday since, she goes for blood tests to see if the culture is still growing. Her arms are black and blue with pin pricks everywhere. We are all hoping that she can get rid of this bug or she won't be able to have any more chemo. Mum has been very worried as she has been too sick to come on here and tell you how she has been, so I will do it for her until such time as she is well again.
She's always in your pocket as usual and loves each one of you very much. For all those ladies just diagnosed or going through treatment or all those ladies living in the moment Mum is thinking of you all.
Love from Annie xx (& Mandy)

Hi Mandy,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mum Annie's condition. How in the world did she get MRSA? We missed her. She is well loved here, I mean like an icon.
I will deeply pray for her. I know many others like me are anxious on how she's doing and they will all be praying for her too.
Please take good care of your Mum, together with your Dad. She is a rare beautiful lady inside and out. She gives so much encouragement and inspiration to others so unselfishly, for a long time already. We love her dearly.
Please tell her we are always in her pocket, wishing for her complete healing and recovery.
You take care of yourself too.
Sending my prayer and positive thoughts for your Mum and the entire family.
God Bless You!
Gina

Mandy please tell Annie that Mike finds this behavior of hers completely unacceptable and DEMANDS that she get well quickly and back into the fight and onto the board! Of course I'm being silly. Thank you for the update and give her and her old feller a big hug!

Mandy, thank you for letting her BCO family know how she is doing, we have all been worried. Your Mom is an incredible woman filled with the type of generosity of spirit that shines bright and has given us all strength. We are now returning the strength and love she deserves. Personally, when I found out I was metaplastic, she sent me a PM filled with encouragement and more importantly hope. Sending a gentle hug filled with hope and encouragement. You can do this Annie!
Hugs, love and prayers, Shari
