    Lovin, thanks for your post about your mom. What a wonderful daughter you are to keep us updated. I had noticed that Michelle was posting less, but was hoping that with so much to do with your grandmother's funeral and after that she was just busier than usual and low on energy. She is such a valued member of this thread and beyond! All my positive thoughts and energy are with her as she goes through her appts today and deals with this next "thing". She is a strong warrior....so hopes are high!



    I'm off to have an MRI and appt with MO today.



    Last evening DS2 came over for dinner since we missed his birthday dinner on Halloween (as is often the case). We had squash/leek soup topped with sauteed portobello mushrooms, grilled chicken breasts and a big ol salad....and carrot cupcakes for dessert!



    Deb, thanks for the cute card....at some point I know I will learn how to post pix on this thread....but not as long as I am using my IPad.

    Have a good day everyone.....

    I think Michelle also posts quite a bit on the TNS board.

    Lovin  Sending hugs and prayers to your mom.  Chemo sometimes causes us all kinds of weird side effects, praying the docs find the reason and resolve it quickly. thank you for keeping us up-dated, as your mom is such an inspiration to all of us.

    ((((((Michelle)))))))  Sending lots of love to you and your family.  I am sure you are all very nervous right now.  Praying for chemo brain and it to be a SE.  You are amazing and have such a wonderful family.  Keep us posted.

    ((((((Debbie)))))) So glad it is not lung cancer, but I am still so sorry you are going to have to deal with any health issue.  I hope Chuck and your Dad are doing ok.  Sending love and strength to you.

    Kay- I am so sorry for your daughters loss- I read about it on line- tragic.

    Wow I had a busy few days just with life and parties and I just read through the past few pages and now I am worried about some of you!!  I will post more later when I can focus again.  It all make me so sad as I feel so close to all of you.

    I can't believe I have to post this ladies, but my mom, LuvRVing (Michelle) has brain mets.  They are small but theyare numerous.  She is starting whole brain radiation tomorrow.  I don't know when she'll be able to post again but I know she'll be reading your threads so please wish, hope, pray...whatever you've got.  We really need it all.

    Doggone it! I am so sorry to read this Lovin. We all admire your mom so much. She gives strength and encouragement to us. We will be here to strengthen and encourage her, too.

    Debbie, I am sorry that you have been diagnosed with emphysema. My dad lived with this for many years. Strengthen those lungs!

    I am sorry that I'm not much of a poster here, but admit that I read this thread often. Please know that I pray for all of our struggles and I care for you all.

    Hugs and Prayers,

    Lexi

    I am so sorry Michelle. Many, many hugs and prayers coming your way from Philadelphia.  I know your spirit is strong enough to bear this.  You have much cyber love to go along with all the love you're getting from your wonderful family.  I had other things to say to others, but I am so upset, i can't think straight to remember them. Take care Michelle and everyone. 

    Love, Kay

    Such horrible news.  I feel so sad and hope with all my being that the treatment works.  Michelle, you will be in my thoughts.  Hugs to you and your family.

    lovinmymom - So sorry to hear this - please know we are all praying for strength for all of you and a good response to the WBR for Michelle.

    Oh such sad news...was thinking of you, Michelle while in the MRI machine this afternoon, knowing that that experience was nothing like what you were going through today. This so sucks!! The only positive thing is that you are perhaps the strongest fighter around with the most supportive family. ((((Hugs)))) to all of you.....

    If there is anything I can do to make your treatment schedule easier, I want to help...and have time to do it! So please, let your close by cyber friends help out.....meals, rides, babysitting for your DD.....whatever.

    Beyond that sincere offer, I'm speechless.....

    And thanks everyone.  My brain is not connecting with my fingertips very well so typing is a struggle.  I feel like I'm being gagged...lol   Thank you for your offers of help, I may accept the help, gratefully.  You can  PM my daughter and coordinate with her.  Her name is Christine Russell.  Hey, the steroids must  be working a little...I'm up to 20 words a minute!

    Michelle- I am so upset beyond words right now! You are our family here and we all love you!! My heart is breaking that you have to deal with yet another blow. I cried when I read about your brain mets and cried even harder when you sent ME a hug after all your going through!  We  are all praying for you.

    Thank-you Christine for letting us all know. ((((hugs))) to you as well.

    Man, cancer just sucks! Michelle, praying for you, stay strong. Since I first met you when you answered me when I asked about diabetics and chemo, you are such an inspiration. and, now I know just why you are so proud of your children, lovinmymom kind of proved that you should be! Much love.
