Support thread for those with cancer, terminal illness, or any life altering physical ailment. For caregivers as well

I just talked to my Mom...It'll be 5 radiation treatments/one chemo per week. She just finished the first week.


Thank you.

You are welcome... and continued love and support to you all...

BUMP for Joannie.

There are some good lists out there for supplements for those who are on chemo. I have a really good one on my pc at work. If you pm me your email I can send you the pdf on Monday. I have the website saved and what they used to counter the chemo effects along with the results they had.
I hope it all works out for her.

Hey Gomez, would you be able to email it to me as well if I send you my address? I keep looking for something to help my daughter with side effects and am having trouble locating a good resource.

Absolutely !
I will post the site up on this thread when I get to work on Monday. It's on my work computer. If I have trouble finding the website, I do have the PDF file with the info and results.

Thank you so much! Sent you a DM.

Love you Joannie. I have not stopped thinking about you and praying for you.

Thank you. :)

Footprints in the Sand Prayer

One night I dreamed I was walking
along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed that
during the low periods of my life, when I was
suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord, "You promised me
Lord, that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods
of my life there have only been
one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?”

The Lord replied,
“The trying times when you have
seen only one set of footprints, my precious child, that
is when I carried you.”

- Mary Stevenson

Hello sweethearts, I hope all is well for you both...



I have to confess that when I read this poem I cry like a baby, but they are happy tears and I am never afraid of what the future holds...

My very best wishes for you both and everyone here...

Same to you davvi. : )

I also love that poem. It's beautiful.

anyone have an update on Joannie?

Here is the supplement list I was talking about. It comes from someone who has been through it and what worked for them. The PDF is at the bottom of the page.

I find it so very comforting when things are going wrong. This too:

Wanted to share this here. I just stumbled upon it, right when I needed it.

You and me both, and thank you for posting it.

And my best wishes for you and everyone else as well.

Thank you for sharing that. :)

That was really beautiful. Had me crying, especially at around 2:00.

If Coenzyme Q 10 makes you anxious, many people find that the reduced form causes less irritability, or at least what it does cause does not last as long.

Firstly my thoughts are with all of you going thru a tough time.

Well, my story is..........
Gave up my baker job of 8 years to move towns and be with my lovely partner, she already had 3 kids and i decided it was easier for me to move than to uproot the little ones.

a few years on and my partner fell really ill with intencse ulcerative colitis so i had to quit my job to take care of her and run everyone around. all was looking on the up and up and so i started working again and furthering my studies on IT. when my parter started going down hill again but alot worse this time. going against my opinion my partner has been on drug trial after drug trial with no real let up of her situation.
ontop of all that, this happened

[link to www.stuff.co.nz]

now for the last year just been dealing with test after test after test, my daughter has changed from an outgoing high achiever to a quite almost failing at school.

have tried everything i can think of but it sucks seeing my partner and girl in this way and there is nothing i can do about it.

Daily struggles of watching my partner rocking back and forth holding her stomach moaning in pain.

i now this is nothing compared to alot of posts on here but even just venting this is easing some of my mind set.

with all the doctors visits, kids stuff, daughters counciling, kids sports umongst all the household duties i am so run down and now the government has decided she is not sick enough to keep paying us and are trying to force one of us into work, more pressure on her than me for some reason which has just made me mad. until all this i have worked all my life and see all these other no-hopers on the benifit who can work but decide to milk the system.

regards
TIRED AND MAD from NZ :(

You're a unique and wonderful person for the sacrifices you have given. You all will be in my prayers.

oh i forgot to log in before post lol

Thank you.

Have now just got word that my partner best mate is going to be flying on Malaysian airways in very near future, just to add to my stress!!!
