Lung Cancer - I might have it.

[cinnamon roll]

I am guessing it is because it is such a strong chemo that they are giving her. I think I said this already but I can't remember she does the chemo IV once a week and the days in between she is on Chemo pills.

Thank you Elizabeth, I will do the same.

I am just as eager as all of you to see her back on here. I tell her about every single post that she gets on here. She is blown away by all the support and love she is getting.

She is eager to get on here too, she is so worried that she is letting you all down by not getting on here. Which I told her is beyond silly that we all understand why she is not here.

Although the upset stomachs and lethargy are expected, it is concerning to hear that it has set in already.

I'm going to start visualizing a rock steady stomach and a clear head and energy.

We all understand. If we seem eager it is just that we want to assure her that several countries full of friends are willing her well and whole and we will not let a day go by without wishing, praying and visualizing her back to health.

Hugs to Mooshi, Bear and her dear husband. All our pups send drool and wiggles.

hello everyone!! wow there is some serious love and support going on here, it is mind blowing to say the least! I see that CR has done an amazing job of keeping you updated with regard to what has been happening with this crap they call cancer....its been a hell of a week or so I can tell you. So....a week ago Wednesday (9 days ago) I went to see my repertory consultant who confirmed that it is cancer, and not just any kind of cancer but the rare form of small cell cancer, which if course means its not curable!! My tumour size is 4 (the largest) and its has spread to my lymph nodes as well, however it has not spread to my brain, bones or any other organs. I then went on to see my oncologist who confirms diagnosis and when chemo will start. Mike and I went home and tried to get our heads around the news and had a couple of drinks. 4am Thursday morning I woke up being very sick and with a high fever. I called my cancer nurse at 9am and they told me to come straight in to hospital. It turns out I had a collapsed lung and pneumonia! They immediately got me on some heavy duty antibiotic and said I would probably be in until Saturday/Sunday. Sunday rolls around and Im then told my chemo doesn't start until Monday so be prepared for another night (I hate hospitals). Monday rolls around and I can have my chemo but they are keeping me in for another night to make sure I don't go backwards with the lung infection. Tuesday I am finally allowed home but feeling very rough, very rough indeed. I have been vomiting regularly (today is the first day I haven't) and am soooo tired all the time. I have ringing in my ears and the vision in my right eye has gone a bit funny. I feel quite weak and am sleeping loads but each day I am getting a bit stronger and stay up a bit longer. I haven't had my hair done yet because I haven't been well enough and my hair dresser is gone away this weekend but as soon as I do I will post pictures of my new short pink hair! I would like to ask that you all please forgive me for not being here sooner, but I just have not had the energy to get out of bed let alone sit at a table and type. Your good well wishes, thoughts and prayers are helping me win this battle I am sure of it so please keep them coming. I really am at a loss for words right now and choked up by all of your generosity and good will, love of man kind and unlimited support and donations!! How does one really say thank you and make it sound like they want it to? My love to you all. Tammy

Tammy don't ever feel like you have to apologize for not being around the forum. I can promise you we all understand & our main concern is that you get better. If that means resting instead of worrying about us, so be it. Terie has done an incredible job keeping us updated with your progress. So hugs to you, your family & to Terie for keeping us in the loop. We all love you sweetie!!

I could not have said it any better!

However nice it is for us to hear directly from you, please do not feel obligated by any means. Rest, rest, rest...and take care of yourself. That's all that is required.

 

[fila4me]

Tammy, you just take care of you and let Terie continue to keep us updated.

I think and pray for you often!

warmly,
Tammy

 

[cayeesmom]

Tammy, I will echo fila4me and say, you just take care of you, spend your energy on fighting this thing. Terie will keep us updated. Hugs and positive thoughts to you from me. Mia

 

[cinnamon roll]

I can not tell you the smile I have right now to see a post from you hunny!!!!!

I know my posts are not as witty as Tammy's are. lol

I promise to continue my updates if Tammy is not up to it.

 

[Bailey's Mom]

Sweetie, I see you in my mind many times a day. I lift you up in prayer to the Almighty. I visualize the cancer drugs strangling the fingerlike tendrils of the blood supply to those tumors and I see your T-cells sweeping the debris away, clearing it out of your body. I visualize the tumors shrinking and blackening and shriveling up, eventually being scrubbed away.

I DARE TO SEE YOU CURED.

Rest, Believe, Heal. Feel all of our prayers, they will strengthen you.

 

[alejandro]

Great to see you back on the run, best wishes on your battle, stay positive.

 

[Penny1960]

It's good to see you post.im so sorry to hear you were so sick rest when you can my thoughts are with you.

 

[NeSaxena]

As nice as it is hearing from you Tammy, I'm happy with you focusing on you for a change We get our updates, and I stalk away...

By the way, I'm designing a tattoo specifically for you... Hopefully, it'll be close to what you want

Here is the latest update...

I spoke with Tammy yesterday, she was very tired and not feeling so well. She pushed herself way too much the last few days she even went to work!!!! Typical Tammy can't keep her down.

She said that her sense of smell is driving her crazy cause everything smells so different now. I told now you know how a pregnant woman feels, and it makes you feel bad for the dogs since their noses are way more sensitive. lol Some days are good for her others are not so good esp after the IV treatment that takes 12 hours.

She told me that her IV Chemo is only once every 3 weeks not every week. Blame it on the chemo head as she called it. I guess it is like preggo brain where you can think anymore and forget things.

Tammy asked me to please apologize to you all for her not being on here. UGH of course I yelled at her for trying to apologize. She did get her hair cut but the color is not right, so I have no pics of that to post yet. But the cut is so damn cute on her!!!!

And of course she thanks everyone for all the support,advice,love, and prayers.

Stay strong, Tammy!

 

[Hector]

Thinking about you every day, get well soon!

 

[Bailey's Mom]

Ah, chemo fog. My sister-in-law said it was terrible. Poor sweety. If she can tolerate work, she should try to...even if she only does half days, it's life affirming, and will give her a sense of being in control instead of being dragged along by the illness.

I'm continuing to see you strong, Tammy. I'm keeping the visualization of the tumors being destroyed and flushed from your body. Lots of clean fresh water, healthy veggies, juicing and positive thinking = booster shots for healing. You are in our hearts. Cyber hugs and kisses from Bailey and me.

 

[DennasMom]

Tammy is in my thoughts often - sending lots of healing vibes and Denna kisses her direction!!!
