I have low WBC and platelets - i often miss chemo..... Onc and nurses have told me there is nothing nutritional that can be done to raise those numbers ~ the injection is your best bet. I didn't want the shot - (side effects and painful!) and my doc has wanted my body to do the work of raising the n...

God Bless you Ashlee! A pain free place of peace and love awaits you......

Debbi, I'm on chemo for life - it's ok, I still have a good life! I've been on chemo for 1.5 years, with occasional breaks - actually my life is busier and more meaningful than it used to be. I don't put things off - if I can I get em done! Last month I stayed at a big cat sanctuary, also went cavin...

Excellent news Ashlee!

It's great to see pics of people - I always thought of you as some wild haired dude riding his bike.....
Love the 'real' pics and the fact that you had a great trip to Finland! Keep on keeping on

I am so very sorry - nothing else to say except I wish you peace - so sorry.......

Sending love and prayers to all getting scanned this week! I made my appt today - ct on Friday a.m. Scanxiety setting in ~~ What will be will be, but it doesn't stop me from being scared! An outpouring of prayers to all! Well done to everyone who received good news so far! Hugs to all who didn't get...

Hi Ashlee, I've had healing touch too - (not during chemo though) and it was fabulous. Soooo relaxing, I'm sure it will make you feel great! Wishing you the very best for the upcoming chemo - you will rock it!

Dear Bev,

Good wishes and prayers continue to be sent.

Even my PT has started emailing health and fitness rubbish from this 'newspaper' ( I use the term loosely!) so he'll have to go....... I so agree Sarah! At on...

You should read if at all possible, "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. It's a young adult novel about first loves and cancer. It's brilliant, and will be coming out as a film in the near future.....

I just watched the Life of Pi. Yes, it was sad - I cried when the hyena killed the zebra, and when Pi fed the rat to the tiger!
But amongst the tears, I really enjoyed the movie - great writing, how did someone come up with this storyline?!

I had a nice Blue Moon beer with a slice of orange (for the vit c lol) this evening when out for dinner with friends - it was really good

I chose not to get a flu shot last year, maybe the luck of the drawer but i didnt get sick all winter. This year I think I might just change my mind! Thanks for all the good info FlightMode

I get some horrible nose bleeds from the avastin - only on the right side. I also feel that it is eating away at my sinus cavity under my eye - luverly eh?!
