I can't really say a lot on the main forum because I know some people might read this board who know the people I am talking about. So I need to just tell you all....

Today I found out from my father inlaw that my sister inlaw found a lump under her arm - she just got the port out of her chest for chemo. She has a very bad form of breast cancer. They did a mastectomy and reconstruction in October. They told her this type of cancer is high in recurrance and that her margins weren't clear in the first surgery (lumpectomy) earlier in the summer. She's a high risk. This cancer comes back in the lungs or liver or something usually.

So they did a catscan on the lump - while they were doing it, they found more lumps in her neck (lymph nodes most likely- cancer - maybe)

This is the same type of cancer that a friend of ours had 3 years ago. She's a mom of one of my daughter's friends from her old school, too. They did cheerleading together and we both had farm animals and australian shepherds - they just got theirs and asked us all about them and stuff. It was fun for all of us.

Well, this gal had the cancer come back in the liver last year. Liver cancer is ..... bad.

My sister inlaw called me tonight to tell me that the gal had died today. :tears2: She's my age. Her oldest child is Lexi's age.

I couldn't even ask my SIL about the lumps because I wasn't supposed to know (she's funny about stuff - until she knows for sure she won't tell anyone outside of her parents)..... but my FIL told me when he took me to p/u my truck.

I'm really down..... I can't believe this gal is gone. She was so much fun at a function we worked together about 2 years ago. She was through the chemo and her hair was coming back - she looked so cute with it so short.

This morning I was down because I had to shell out $1900 for the transmission on my truck. My van will be picked up tomorrow or monday by the salvage yard.

That stuff is nothing compared to what this evening brought.

 
Oh Pennie,

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know how you feel, though. All I think about is cancer this and that, it's so crazy. You can do all the right things and still get it.

Thinking of you, your SIL andyour friend.

Gosh, how sad:(.

This world is a scarey place.:(
 
Thanks :)

I'm going to try to get some sleep - it's really cold here tonight. My heated mattress pad is calling my name LOL!

Night all - sweet dreams :hug:
 
I am back from my concert, and I log in here. Before I go in to said concert, I am talking to Peg on the phone. I am becoming co dependent on you good folk.

Pennie.. I don't even know what to say. Words arn't even appropriate at times like this.

I had this big long thing typed out to you Pennie..

I am glad keyboards come with a backspace key...

Know I am thinking of you..

Naw - you're not codependent....you just wanted the best quality toys for your rabbits....oh...and woody pet too!

:biggrin2:
 
Carroll-Marie's right...there just aren't words to say quite what one feels in reading something like that...

I hope your friends are okay, and your SIL is okay...and I hope YOU are okay, too. I know at times like that, it's hard to think of yourself, but don't forget that, ok?

And know that you have friends here to talk to (and you can talk to me anytime, btw), that are here for you.

Hugs to you!

Oh no Pennie, I was just thinking about your SIL last night... :sad:

So sorry that everyone has the added stress of losing your friend to a similar situation, that's awful timing, really hope it doesn't get her too depressed on top of everything else.

And ugh re: the transmission, that's another thing that seems to be going around.

Take heart that all this is may seem overwhelming, but the clouds do lift, especially when you'rehugging a bunny or three. (Mentally or physically).The good times will outweigh the bad.

s :hug1
 
you always have a person to vent to right here in me...

i hope everything gets better faster than a speeding bullet sister.

i'm so sorry for your loss.

:pray:

Thank you all so much. It's been a rough couple of years for my extended family. I just sort of wanted to let you all know that if I seem a bit "off" you know it's just things that are sort of distracting me right now.

Thanks again. You all really mean so much - I know you're always here to listen if I need someone. That alone is a huge comfort. :hug:
 
I've been trying to think of what to say ever since I saw this thread. Unfortunately - words just seem so inadequate.

I guess all I can say is I'm sorry....I wish I could say or do something more...
