Such great news! It just makes my day. Thanks for sharing. Jeano

Novelafemme HUGS!!!! And another congrats on the wonderful news. :)

Thanks Folks!!! I wasn't super worried, but it sure is nice to get a break from all the craziness of testing this and that!

Much love and health to you all <3

Ditto..backattcha. Sure is ! :hangloose:
:pile: :heartbeat:

BRCA came back positive, not sure how I feel.

Well, besides shock.

Not sure what to say besides, "We're here for you".

{{{{{{Deb}}}}}} <--- all of us on the thread.

It's shocking news, to say the least.
Time to go to battle? Let the arrows fly -

Thank you, you all have been great support.

The plan of action:
First is to share with my daughter her 50/50 chance of having the gene this weekend. Then share with sisters, niece.
I am going to have my ovaries out in the next few months. (at least this surgery will be a band-aid surgery)
Continue to eat all this healthy vegan shit and supplements.
Find a clinical trial with my doctors.

Finally, have fun while working on the bucket list!!!

I honestly can say I love you all. Its a very unconditional place to vent, pout and yeehaw.

Where do I go to sign up for Deb's team. I'm in.!!!!!

Deb, I am just now seeing your post. It surely is a shock but you sound strong and ready to fight. I am sending love and healing energy to you.
There are lots of people here who love you and are in your corner. Come here to vent or whatever you feel like. Jeano

~ my mother has cancer ~

while she is not meant to b with me much longer, i find myself @ a loss as to ask god what i can say for her in my prayers. i dont think anything can prepare me for the loss of another parent. am i supposed to b ready for this? if so...i cant say i feel it. chemo is suppose to extend her life...but i dont see it giving her any quality. all i know is that all the joy in my life has left..it is replaced with a knawing sorrow of what is eniveitable. i understand what its like to not b able to do anything for someone whom u love n cant......... the uneviable position of feelin helpless ....

The shock is wearing off now. Its going to be a hard family conversation. I didn't share with them I was doing the test, since when I brought it up before it caused one sister to have a temper tantrum thinking I was telling her she was going to get cancer. She created some family drama, but its not just about her. Hell, its doesn't mean I will get cancer again.

Fireheart, I am so sorry about your mom. I don't know what to say. It is hard to watch someone we love leave us. Hold on to good memories when you look in her eyes. Sending lots or love, prayers and hugs to you and your family.

I guess they didn't learn their lesson last time. "They are on your left they are on your right they are in front of you and they are behind you. They can't get away this time !!"
LET ME SEE YOUR WARFACE !!!! I am only a phone call away friend .

My best wishes to you and you and youuuuuuuuu
 

Thank you my brother. I am proud and blessed to be your friend. The folks who post on this thread are my adopted family . There are so many good people offering such love and support to each other here.

Fireheart thank you for posting and sharing so intimately your feelings at this horribly sad and difficult time. All you can do at this time is the best you can give at any given time--some days it will be a lot and others maybe less. I know what you mean about not being ready for your Mom to leave--it's always too soon. Please know that she will always be with you--I often feel my Mom's presence. Please post whenever you want us--there are so many great, compassionate, loving people here. You and your Mom are in my thoughts and prayers. Jeano

your not alone in going through this
 

(((((((((((((fireheart))))))))))))))))))))) major hugs for you . know that your absolutely not alone in dealing with your feelings right now. know that im thinking of you and wishing for comfort for you , always goodlilfemme

This thread....

is such a powerful, hauntingingly thought provoking, compassionate and sometimes sad, sometiimes gloriously wonderful place to see.

All with our own hopes and prayers, friends and families, we have a pkace to come and share, acknowledge, or just support in thought.

Our worlds are just an enter key, an electronic highway away. Driving by to say Love, and Thoughts, and precious memories be with you all.

Tommi.

I am counting down the damn days. This is so frustrating. Its been 18 months since my last chemo treatment and while its better, its still a pain in the ass.

Chemo Brain:
While frustrating, the ultimate outcome is very good: symptoms typically disappear in about four years.

Hey Bro, thanks for sharing your good news--never feel sad about that--we all rejoice with you and need to hear the good news stories. It gives hope to everyone.

wonderful wonderful news!!!! shout happy thoughts, its not bittersweet by no means. happy news is the best news

It's been several years for my sister and she says she is just now feeling what used to be normal. She had lung cancer, had a partial lung removal, chemo that almost killed her three times..she had bone scans every 3 months for years but the last few years twice a year. It's been grueling with a lot of other kinds of heart ache along the way. She is brave, much braver then I would be.

kittygirl, its amazing what strength you have when you need it. We can surprise ourselves with what we are capable of. Your inner strength is there.

Glad to to hear your sister is moving forward and is still in recovery. :)

Hugs, Deb
