Cathi news......

Cathi has gone back into the hospital.  She was admitted yesterday in the late afternoon.  Same symptoms as last time only not as intense; still serious though.
 
Her spirits are okay, but she is tired of the way this whole course of tx is unfolding.
 
Pray hard for our friend, please.  L&H's, Luci

I'm praying for her.  Cathi, I hope you get stronger soon.  I'm glad the symptoms aren't as intense as last time.  Be strong...

I have prayed and will continue to pray for my dear friend,Cathi. I am also putting her name on a prayer list. {{{{{CATHI}}}}} feel better soon, I love you. Gail


 

Have an awesome day and know that someone thought about you today. . . . . . I did

I have been very concerned because we have not heard from her. Prayers. positive thoughts, lots of love going her way. Thanks for letting us know, Luci. Hugs, MK



I can not believe this. I was talking to her yesterday. She said it was not nice, but she said it was not as bad as the last time.  I was so hoping that this time it would be much easier. I knew something was wrong when she did not join me for coffee this morning. Thanks so much Luci, for letting us know. Hugs to you and hope all is going better for you also. Darn Darn Darn disease. Thanks again Joyce

Crud, this is not what we wanted to hear. Cathi sure deserves a break! Hopefully she got some benefit from the chemo, since she sure did suffer from it. And while we pray for Cathi to stay strong, we also need to pray for the onc to find the right solution to help our sweet friend...

L&H,
Lori


Sending prayers as well.... lots of prayers.

Friends are God's way of taking really good care of us.

Oh, I am so sorry that she is having such a terrible time. I was wondering how she was doing, especially since she has been so quiet. Sending prayers and good vibes that she is back on her feet very soon. Hugs and love, Lauri

Cathi,

I am sending my angels to watch over you dear one (^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^). Praying that you will feel better real soon.

Love you,

PS. Thanks Luci, for the update.

OH Dear! Sending lots of prayers for our Dear Cathi. I am so sorry to hear that she is having such a difficult time. Thanks for keeping us posted. She certainly needs and deserves a break. I hope she gets some relief quickly and they find something to help her that works.

Today is a gift, that's why they call it the present!

Luci,
I sure hope Cathi is doing better now. Please give her a huge hug and tell her to hang in there. I truly cannot imagine how sick & frustrated she must be. I so admire her ability to keep fighting in the face of new challenges.
Hugs,
Julie

Lots of prayers for Cathi. I hope she's out of the hospital in no time at all. Do you have any updates for us? Thanks for being there for her!!!!!

L&H,

Luci,
She has been so quiet, yes. We do need those angels to surround her and help her out. Yes, she needs something new. Some experimental drug that will not have the side effects. There must be some out there. They are always complaining that not enough people enter trials. The hyperthermia trial certainly helped me and I never knew about it. I hope her onc is looking into this. I know that the onc here in Champaign can call up M.D. Anderson and order up experimental drugs. Let's pray for something new and great to be offered. Until then, just let her know she is so loved and you know that you are too, Luci.
Much love to both of you. Di
There really isn't a whole lot to report. I spoke with Cathi yesterday. She has neutrapenia again and all in contact with her need to wear masks. Her spirits sound okay. Yesterday, she asked to go home and her own onc. and hospital onc. who's been brought in on her case said no. I've passed along all of your good wishes. Cathi was thrilled and says "big hugs" to everyone. Luci

awwww Luci she sounded so positive yesterday that she would be able to come home. When am I going to learn she can make herself sound better than she really is. Yep, she got me again. You know when she gets home and reads this I will hear her chuckle all the way from Ohio. Infact I bet I will even hear a "Gotcha". Thanks so much for letting us know. I really appreciate it.

Luci, thanks for the update! I hope her white count goes up enough to get her home soon! Please pass along my good wishes to her. L&H, Frayda
