    hey raro! Sorry to hear you are still teatherd. I imagine that is quite frustrating and inconvienant. Glad you met with the pulm doc. Curious to see what all the tests say/mean. Someone else on a different thread is having similar breathing issues and had to see pulm too. Hope something can be done to give you some relief! Lung exercises?!? Never heard of that, but hey if you can workout the muscles in your hoo ha, I'm sure something can be done for the lungs too, eh? Would the onc consider neupogen or neulasta shots to boost white blood count? I don't know anything about your chemo drug. Just hope it's kicking cancer cell booty! Thanks so much for checking in! And you better believe it that prayers are being said for you from around the globe! Isaiah 40:31 sending love!

    I am keeping you in my thoughts, for sure.

    I agree with Bon about getting in the Oncology ward at the hospital. The nurses were much nicer than other levels I've been on...although I've never heard of a 'woman's' section. 😳

    I hope you get the answers you need when you see your doctor. ❤️

    I hope you're getting more comfortable, Raro.

    Prayers are going out from Israel, the Holy Land. And don't forget, here it's a local call.

    That's right! Don't forget the Canadians who are formidably strong. If we can survive sub zero temps on a daily basis, we can kick cancer out of our wayWinking

    Leah, I wish I was near the Holy Land right now. My Catholic roots make me long for a trip to see and experience the sanctity of it all.

    Hi Rebecca,

    It was so nice to get your uptdate - thanks for checking in! I'm so glad your onc sent you to a pulmonologist - I hope with the results from the tests, they can find a way to help make your breathing easier! You are always on my mind, in my heart and prayers. I hope your blood count is good enough to have the Navelbine on Friday and that it is that magic bullet, Hail Mary we're all hoping for, for you! Enjoy those reuben/ chocolate cake dreams and time with family and know that you have an even bigger family in all of us - we are all with you in spirit!

    Lots of love and hugs, Amy

    Leah: I'm with Amy and seeing Israel sites. How wonderful you live there.

    Off to get my brain checked out tomorrow so I will check in with you after that adventure.

    Love

    Good morning from the Great White North Raro. Even though I don't check in every daily, thoughts and prayers are sent your way each and every day. Hoping today your counts are in line with being able to receive tx and that the pulmonologist is able to help you find some relief.
