KT member needs your prayers and thoughts..

17 years ago

Many of you will remember Sandie Fix from Florida; she recently told me this,

"I have breast cancer for the second time. I was eight years cancer free, and in January it came back in the opposite breast." (Her surgery is next Tuesday, April 28 at 1:30.)

Sandie gave me permission to post about this and also said,

"I would appreciate all the prayers I can get. Also, I have had two lumpectomies, but not a mastectomy that I will be getting next week, so if there are any at the KT that could give me an idea of what to expect, I would be most grateful. I won't know until after the surgery what treatment they will be giving me. I had radiation with the first lumpectomy and that wasn't too bad, but it was eight years ago so I don't really know what to expect now. One good thing, I will be going to Orlando for the surgery, it is about 30 miles from Titusville, but we have a new cancer center here that is supposed to be wonderful and I will not have to travel to Orlando for treatment."

All special thoughts and prayers will mean so much to our dear Sandie. And if anyone can share their experience and let her know what to expect, please do so.

Many thanks from me and Sandie. :)

The best news,just as we all hoped! Dexascan is a piece of cake - I used to do them when I worked in the Rheumatology office. Bone-building drugs may be prescribed, but they work slowly, so 6 weeks one way or the other won't make a huge difference. There are lots of reasons you can have osteopenia or osteoporosis - drug therapies, both chemo and steroids, being too thin (being under 127 pounds is a marker for risk), family history, early menopause, low calcium and Vitamin D, and the list goes on. For now, take care of yourself, be a good girl and do what the docs tell you to do. We'll all be here, thinking of you and cheering you on until those crutches are tucked away in the closet.

Thank you so much for your prayers. I know that they were heard. Diane came through the surgery well. They replaced the valve and they had to do one bypass. They let us see her when she got into ICU. She will probably be there through tomorrow. I just talked to the nurse and they say she is still pretty sedated but they hope to have her sitting up by tomorrow. The first 24 hours are critical, so please keep the prayers going, I know He is listening.Thank you for being here with me.

What a hugely hurtful thing it is to lose a precious child. I pray that you and your loved ones may share good memories of your son during these days which will help to carry you through. Sometimes I think that the boundaries between this life and the next are not as strong as we think ... sometimes it seems to me that we taste of the firstfruits of heaven while we journey through this life. I trust that he is finding a glorious new vista of life opening out before him, so that he can rejoice in not only his present but his future. May you who are left behind find comfort and peace during these coming difficult days. I pray that God may bless you and yours through it all. ole joyful

dh's cousin just underwent a double mas...she had the lumpetomy almost 5 years ago. she chose not to have reconstructive surgery...
her drs are doing a double course of treatment. chemo for (?) 4 weeks and then a break and then the hard core chemo for about 6 weeks... the kind with side effects...but they're very hopeful as her lymph nodes were clean and ct body scan was clear. i havn't heard if she was able to return to work as of yet. she's in her 50's, good heath otherwise, and a very positive outlook on life in general, which is extremely important...

Hugs and prayers for Sandie.I went through this last august and opted for the bilateral mastectomy,followed by 6 session of chemo,(taxotere and cytoxan)I also opted Not to have reconstruction surgery.Just remember it's all doable.

I finished chemo in feb this year,and my hair started growing back last week.
I'll tell ya,i was more upset about losing my hair,than i was my boobs.But it'a all good now,they've come a long way with treatments,than they had 20 years ago.

Here's a site you may want to visit,it's helped a lot of us through the process.www.breascancer.org
Keeping you in prayer.If you'd like to email me,do so thru my page,just put GW-KT in the subject title so i don't delete it.
Good luck,and God Bless.
Kathi

Remember to keep a good attitude,that's half the battle.

Sending a boatload of good thoughts to (((((Sandy))))) ...

... and some prayers.

Hi Kathi mdgd,

When I went to the site that you listed, I got a long list of a number of (mainly) breast-cancer-related sites, but it was not one individual site. Was that what you intended?

I just posted this for Anne's sister, and I'll paste it here.

My sister just finished radiation treatments for her 2nd round of breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy on both of them. Followed by chemo on the first one, (16 yrs ago). The 2nd one was caught very early, and is called breast calcification. It's like little flecks/freckles of it in an area. They did the lumpectomy on it, but the Dr. didn't get the clear margins he wanted, so she had to go back right after Christmas and have more taken out until he was satisfied with the margins.

Also, my daughter chose the mastectomy about 4 years ago, along with the reconstruction at the same time. Hers was breast calcification, and caught very early.

A separate post was made from Sandie, but thought I'd add it here as well along with my thanks to all of you. As a cancer survivor myself, I know the importance of prayers and support.

From Sandie: ""I want to thank all of you for your prayers and concerns and for sharing your experiences. Today will be my last day at the PreSchool for awhile. My kids have kept me grounded, as well as my co-workers, and family and friends. I have to admit that as the time gets closer, I am getting more nervous. But I have put my faith in God and in my surgeon and all of the prayers. So thank you again and God Bless you all."
