Well, this news really just sucks. No wonder we haven't seen her around here in a while. Those two have really been walloped over the past two years. Well, lesser folks would have been beaten, but those two are superheroes!

If you're out there, Sarah and Lorraine, know our thoughts are with you. :hug:

I was just wondering where she was!!! :(

Time to kick cancer's *** for a second time, my friend. :drill:

My thoughts & prayers & love & :goodvibes: are going out to you.

That's just awful news. :(

:goodvibes: to you both, Sarah and Lorraine. :hug:

Nori,

Thank you for sending me Sarah's blog. Sarah, I feel so humbled by you even though I haven't had the chance to get to know you. Sending healing prayers your way.

I hate to hear this. Sarah, you are definitely in my prayers.

Sarah, You're in my prayers. I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this again.

Ack sorry to hear this, thoughts are definately with you Sarah.

"Ack" is right!! That pretty much sums it up, I'd say. :dizzy: It really just sucks, and I wish it weren't happening to us, and I'm afraid of not beating it....but really, overall, I'm feeling pretty much like, "Alrighty, well, somebody's got to be on the bad side of the statistics, so I knew that going in." And also, plenty of really fine people have to battle it more than once in order to win the war. So, OK, I'm going to be in that group. I cry, I mourn, and I regroup. That's just the way it is.

On Monday they'll go in with a CT to guide them through a biopsy of the mass -- THAT, incidentally, seemed to make itself palpable and visible over my clavicle like freaking overnight! :eek: -- and then we'll know for sure if we're gearing up to treat the right cancer. Gotta have the right juice for the malady, right? Then on Thursday I meet with my new onc -- the one who's treating me now that I've moved to Georgia, not the one who was treating me in Baltimore and ignored an active lymph node for months, discounting it as a "false positive." I'll also meet a radiation oncologist, who will talk me through my new course of treatment. I went through 6 months of intense chemo last year, but no rads, so this is all new to me. I'm to expect it to be a walk in the park compared to the chemo, side effects-wise, so that's good. Any hair that comes within "the beam" will be lost and not begin to regrow for like 4-5 months, so I'm hoping the longer "over-hair" will cover the parts below that are most likely going to be lost at the nape.

Yeah, it sucks, and I hate that they're going to radiate my thyroid, since so many of us end up with hypothyroidism. :mad: I get mad about different things, and the interruption of my weight loss is a biggie for me. :( I have been trying so hard to repair the damage I did to myself, and it hurts to have circumstances not under my control keep tumbling in my path wreaking havoc on my best efforts. At least there are no steroids this time, so maybe I'll fall into the minority of folks who have their throats radiated who don't go on to experience hyprothyroidism. :^: Pray for THAT, will you, while you're praying I beat the cancer??

Ok, tantrum over. I have many blessings, not the least of which is the amazing support which exists here in this very special corner of the weight loss world. You guys are amazing, and what I said over on my blog is that you all are a "warm blanket on a cold night," and I really mean it.

Thank you so, so much. Lorraine and I are in a lot of pain over this, and your support means everything. :grouphug:

Sarah..
 

I'm so sorry to hear about your relapse. My prayers are going out to you and Lorraine :hug:

I don't really know you yet, but my prayers are with you and I hope that you beat this.

Trish

I am sorry to hear your news, Sarah. You've been good spirited and such a trouper in your comments and attitude to the :censored: replapse, but I just have to have a temper tantrum and say,
"It's not FAIR!" :tantrum: :mad:
However, I'm exceedingly confident you'll do great and kick its a$$ AGAIN.

(even though it makes me mad you have to go thru this AGAIN; once is enough. grrrrr)
:goodvibes: :hug:

Everyone has said such wonderful things I cant think of what else to say but I wanted to post and send my love. C x

Sarah -- Just saw this thread -- all my hopes for you two!! sucks is right.

Sarah: I don't know you either . . . yet. I read a couple entries in your blog. Your write wonderfully . . . concise, intelligent, full of heart. Your love for Lorraine is obvious and powerful. What a beautiful thing!

Your blog is testment to your strength. You will get through this, knowing that your Higher Power is looking over you and that so many folks care about you.

*Prayers for Sarah.*

Sarah our prayers are with you guys! Sending lots and lots of hugs. I know you can beat this!!
