Me And My Cancer Adventure

Had a weird dream ...

Poor Froggie! (((((((((((((((((((((((((((Froggie)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))), I hate dreams, so often they are anything but friendly!

Froggie, dear one.
When it is time to go home, you will know. If you are feeling in a hurry to get ready for death, maybe the following will help and help take any fear away.

Dogma wise, Catholics may receive "Last Rights" as the unction of healing which is their original use for healing of mind, body and soul. As time went on, they came to be called 'Last Rights' mainly because the folks waited so long to call a priest. I would encourage you to take the Holy Unction of the 'Last Rights" soon. You can receive this sacrement many times. God loves you as you are. He treasures you for all eternity.

Dear Froggie, haven't been on the forum for awhile as my life is going extremely well.

I have read the last three or four pages in your Cancer Adventure and am sad to hear that you are loosing your cancer friends. As you say having cancer and PTSD is indeed a double whammy. I admire your strength and determination, even when you are at a low point.

To get to the point, I think of you often as a wonderful caring person who takes the time to support others on the forum whenever you can. As KP said in her post we are always here for you. Take care my dear, sending you love and huge :hug:'s

Hey? Froggie,

Do you ever feel like a tadpole for the fun or it? Like are you able to swim in the water and are always changing, growing a 'tail' Huh? How is it to become something totally unknown to the tadpole. I don't think that it occurs to the tadpoles that they might find logsitt'n and whipping out a sticky long tongue at flies entertaining. (a made up conversation) Hey, Joe, how was that dragonfly? It seemed to stick side ways in your craw for a while. (Gulp) Cool Joe, I didn't know I had such a big mouth.

I hope I sent you a smile. Love mercy

I have not been here for a long time, things have been good up until a couple of months ago when I was told that I have a new tumour, I am not too down about it becuase we both know there is nothing worse than PTSD. I hope you are still fighting all your battles and winning. I start my treatmet chemo/radiation tomorrow so don't know when I will get on here again, anyhow fun days ahead lol.

Keep well,

Steve

Hi Steve, I have been thinking of you often. Sorry that you have to face up to another battle. Will you be doing chemo and radiation at the same time ? How many treatments will you be having ? Is the tumor at the same place or at another part of your body ?

My immune system (white blood cells) has diminushed and I have to take neupogen injections which I find the side effects really hard - gives alot of bone pain for a week. My red blood cells are pretty low also. So basically, for what I've got, I'm doing OK comparatively to others, but I have weakened. I still try to keep busy with different projects like a computor workshop that I take about 1 or 2 times a week, depends how I feel. Within the workshop, we (the owner and other participants) have started another project to give 1 to 2 computors that we have restored to poor families or single people who are financially riddened. It keeps my mind off the illness. I have started to write a book, but have neglected it for a while, let say since my mother and friend died on the same day. I'm not in depression, but have been feeling the loss.

On June 22cd, I had a 2 year survival party with family and friends, I'm really glad that I did that as the last pronostic gave me 24 months and I'm now heading for my 27th month of survival.

So that's about it for me, glad to have your news, we'll keep in touch.

Gentle hugs

Mariette

Well found today after chimo treatments that I have phlebitis (in the muscle of the lower right leg). Daily injections for 1 month. And to really wind up such a day, some joker played with the fire alarm at 11 PM so we were pretty well all outside in PJs waiting for the firemen, I imagine there will be an investigation as this was a false alarm.
