I woke up one morning with the worse side pain ever. Very scary. Went to get CT scan: good news no blood clots or pneumonia; bad news cancer in pleural cavity. Ugh!!!! At home with meds and painkillers resting. Yep this MBC is like a wild rollercoaster 🎢 ride. Looks like turkey 🦃 sandwiches and chips for Thanksgiving! 😜 Blessed! Glass still have full! Stay 💪🏽

I'm sorry to hear about your progression, and pain it is causing. You're right, this disease is a wild rollercoaster. I hope you get some relief with the pain meds, and hopefully some relief with your protocol in reducing this progression. Thinking of you, sending you good thoughts, take care, and I hope you feel better soon.

A turkey sandwich sounds pretty good to me. At least you have an appetite, that’s good! Hopefully they’ll get this figured out and you’ll be pain free soon. Relax and have a peaceful Thanksgiving!

Just love your humor. You always make me smile. Wish we lived close enough to get a group together for wine and appetizers. Others may live closer, but not me, I am in Florida. Anyway, sorry you are not feeling good but turkey sandwich and chips sound yummy to me. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Blessings, Hannah

I'm glad you were able to get some relief from the pain! When will you see your oncologist for his/her treatment suggestions, or is this a side effect of your current meds?

Best of wishes,

Hugs, Cindy

Dear Hotlantaplatz. What a bitch this cancer business is. I am so sorry that you are going through all this just when the holiday season begins. Love to you. If I get to church tomorrow, I will send your name is to the prayer box. It can only help.

Dear Hotlantaplatz -Yesterday, I actually was still sick in bed with a cold and chills and did not get up to go anywhere, including church. This morning, I feel like the worst is over and I can join the human race again. So,today, I will be sending your name to our pastor so that your name can be entered into our prayers. XX OO

Oh no! I did not want to see that you’re going yet another challenge. I did smile about your Thanksgiving of turkey sandwiches and chips - one of my favorite meals. I hope the meds are working wonders and you’re feeling better. Let us know what the doc says on Monday. Sending big hugs.
