(((((((Michelle))))))))))) I am so sorry, there are no words. You are strong and you are going to a great hospital for treatment. I know a woman who is on the TDM1 trial there and having great success. Sending you and your family strength and love and prayers. 0 -
Oh Michelle, I am so sorry. Also sending you and your family strength and prayers. And Laurie is right, you are strong and you are going to a great hospital. You have your family nearby thank goodness and of course us. I will be thinking of you and praying for you all day.

Michelle, I am so sorry to hear your news. This is one reason why I hate when people tell me that a good attitude will keep the cancer away, because if that was true you would not be getting this news.

Awwwww Michelle,
So not the news we were hoping to hear... My heart just aches for you and your family that you are having to go through this!! I mean enough, is enough, already! Just so angry at the unfairness of this whole f-ing disease!!
Words fail me at this moment but, please know we are all thinking of you and holding you tight in our hearts!0 -
Michelle: I am so sorry...my heart is broken for you. Words cannot express how I feel..I can only send you prayers and hope that you will find the strength to meet this challenge head on. You will be getting tx from one of the best hospitals so you know you will have the latest and best they have to offer.
Thinking of you and remembering you in my prayers.

Michelle, words can't express how upsetting your news is. It's just wrong for bad things to happen to wonderful women like you and Apple and all the rest of our sisterhood. I don't even care what's for dinner tonight. But I will definitely be having a martini and probably a glass of wine, too.
Hugs to everyone.

Oh Michelle, I am so saddened to learn that you and your family are facing this very painful news. I hope Dr. Chen knows that she has a very strong, loved and important person (and family) joining her team to defeat another damn cancer. Holding you close in my thoughts and deep in my heart. ((((((HUGS))))))

Michelle. This is so unfair. I can only imagine what you are going through. When we met in NH I liked you right away. You are so vibrant and you and DH do so many fun things. I know that you will find a way to do these things again. I wish that I had the words to make it better. Private message me anytime. Sally

Thanks so much, everyone. We just got home from dinner with the family, I am exhausted but I am OK. We'll get through the next couple of weeks, enjoy the trip to Paris, and then start round 3 of this battle.
I will do this!

Michelle: I know you will get through this...you are a strong person, and you have a wonderful support system in both your family and medical team. I am so glad that you are taking your trip to Paris before you begin tx. Go and create some wonderful memories. When I was told that I had a bad mammogram and needed an MRI, I decided to go ahead and take a cruise that we had planned and wait until I got back to Fl for my dx and tx. We had a wonderful relaxing time and I never thought about what I would be facing when I returned. I just adopted the philosophy "it is what it is"...I couldn't control what had already happened, but I could control my reaction to it.
Praying for the best possible outcome for you and sending you positive energy to face this upcoming challenge.

Michelle- You are in my prayers. Sending positive energy to help get you through this. When you get back from your trip you will be ready to face this head on. Sending love to you my friend.

Michelle,
Haven't posted regularly, but keep up reading. I am sorry that the cancer is on the move. I am sad that you have to go up against it again. It just isn't right. You will get through it and I am confident that you are going to receive the best of care, love and support. It just angers me that you have to.
Hugs and Prayers,
Lexi

Dear Michelle
I'm writing this from Singapore on my way to London then on to Paris, arriving the day before you. I was unbelievably sad when I logged on this morning and saw your news.
I have been following your posts from your love of RVing, your contributions to the Hair thread, the topic you started about Paris and your recent scans.
I am so sorry about the situation you are now in. I will be praying for you and I know you will get enormous support, as always, from the ladies here.
I hope that you can still enjoy your trip if you want to. A cancer diagnosis is bad at any time but this timing makes it even worse.
Prayers for you and your family.0 -
big big hugs and tears for you Michelle.. all it takes is the right treatment to turn things around. your awesome spirit will see you through and we are all behind you.

Many thanks, Racy! The trip is on; and when we get in the car to head to the airport, we will observe the official "no cancer zone." Perhaps we should try to hook up for coffee or a glass of wine! Send me a PM if you want to explore it. I know my cell phone won't be working, but we will have access to wireless internet. We are staying at 3 Rue Des Renaudes, about a half mile from the Arc d'Triomphe.
Apple - thank you so much. I'll be joining you lovely, gracious ladies on the Stage IV forum.
So far (other than the obvious) the biggest bummer in all this is that I will not be having my DIEP reconstruction in July. I was so looking forward to being put "back together" again. Oh well, there will be bigger fish to fry!

Oh my, I added all my diagnoses, surgeries and chemo to see just how long it made the signature. I guess I'll head over to the new format techie discussion and make a point about this. And edit my actual signature.

Dear Jesus,
Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick,
we turn to You in this time of illness.
O dearest Comforter of the Troubled,
alleviates our worry and sorrow with your gentle love,
and grants us the grace and strength to accept this burden.
Dear God,
we place our worries in your hands.
We ask that you restore your servants to health again.
Above all,
grant us the grace to acknowledge your holy will
and know that whatsoever you do,
you do for the love of us.Amen

Michelle, I'm so glad that you are determined to enjoy your fabulous trip to Paris. You will have a wonderful time in that cancer free zone. You'll be recharged, refreshed and ready to do everything it takes when you return to defeat this monster!! We're all here for you.....and for Joyce who I know is so impacted by your new challenge. I'm so happy that you two wonderful sisters found each other!
Hugs to you both!!!0 -
I'm looking forward to hearing about your trip to Paris, Michelle. I wish we could all go!
I'm in that phase where I've run out of ideas for "what's for dinner?" Tonight I did an impromptu skillet chicken dish with canned quartered artichoke hearts and capers. I cut the chicken breasts in strips and browned them in EVOO and a pat of butter. Added the artichoke hearts and rinsed capers and splashed some white wine. Side dish was squash browned in EVOO and butter. I baked artisan bread this afternoon so we had bread and butter with the meal.
Hugs to everyone.

Carole - one of our favorite little Italian Cafes in Independence, MO has a similar chicken dish on its menu. It was my "go to" dish, and the big difference seems to be that they made it by lightly breading the chicken and sauteing in olive oil. When I've tried to duplicate it at home, I added sun-dried tomatoes and fresh mushrooms, and some lemon juice. Very yummy!
I've been spending every day at my daughter's house, making sure she has what she needs, and taking care of the grandpuppy Oreo. Tomorrow I am going to try and leave early enough to get spaghetti and meatballs on the table for my DH. His patience is limitless, really. It won't be from scratch, but we won't be sitting in a restaurant, either. If the weather holds up, maybe we can sit outside and enjoy a lakeside dinner with a glass of wine.
This thread is one of the highlights of each and every day, and I am grateful to all of you for your love and support. Watch out what you ask for ... I suspect I'll be talking a whole lot about our trip to Paris, the fabulous food, and wonderful sights

My DD's maid of honor and I will be planning her shower even though it is her second marriage and it is not accecptable by others but her last marriage SUCKED. Pardon my french. Get this, her maid of honor called me at work and tells me she reserved room for 30 ppl at Parkers Maple Barn, what a Hoot. It should be fun. She already has the invitations done, I'm making up an address list on my side and she will supply the address for me for DD's friends so I can print out the labels. I'll try to make them fancy on my printer at work. This will take place June 23rd. Rebekah is coming home June 19th for about a week and the next week, June 26th and 27th, his parents are coming over from the UK and staying in Portsmouth NH to do some touring, we will travel a few days with them for day trips. I'll be taking a few days off of work for this. Never met Nick's parents B4.
Nick has to have his Gallbladder out, it was suppose to be today but he has a cold so they are postponing that until the beginning of July.
I found a nice recipe for Spicy Pumpkin Chili to make for Sunday's mini class of 1969 cookout. I hope it comes out OK.
Thinking of you Michelle♥
