Interested in the latest news from Cak?

I’m lost….

Anyone care to explain?

* Y * A * Y thanks for the update.

Fantastic!

@buckyboy28 Cak is a wonderful jelly who has been working on kicking cancer’s ass.

@Likeradar Gotcha. I did a search for Cak right afterward, and found that it was a member. Thanks!

That’s great to hear that she’s doing better! :)

This is great to know. Thank you, @gailcalled. I have been worrying about her.

I don’t quite understand, do you think it is good news?

I have a PM in to he. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a better update.

@rooeytoo sure hope so.

I think it is clear that she is struggling with the aftermath of the draconian treatments she has chosen and is trying to show some spirit. The outcome, no matter what we fervently wish, is far from clear. Her bones ache, which is not a normal post-op problem of mastectomies.

Thanks for the update, Gail.

Much Lurve for cak! Stay strong. (((((((hugs)))))))

aw… I was just thinking about Chris this morning… thanks for posting this @gailcalled

Chris we lurve you and are rooting for you…. keep fighting!

Thanks @gailcalled. I was thinking about her Monday morning. She seems upbeat.

I’ve been thinking of her, too. I hope she will feel much better very soon. Thank you for keeping us updated, @gailcalled.

Thank you for the update. I’m hoping it was an optimistic update.

You know, I’d “spoken” with her in the past, never even realizing she was sick. It’s probably my stupidity and insensitivity, mind you, but I’m leaning more towards her simply being a real trooper about it. I hope she gets better; I hope I become less insensitive and stupid.

we miss you chris

NewZen: I hope so, too.

@NewZen You’re NOT insensitive & stupid! Unless you know her “story”, you wouldn’t know she was sick. Chris doesn’t like to talk about her illness. She has more grit than anyone I know. I’ve known her for almost 2 years & I know she just likes to interact with people as normally as she can. She’s tired of dealing with it & talking about it.

@NewZen Nah, you’re not insensitive and stupid. I was facebook friends with her before I had any idea of what she was battling. The only thing to do now that we know is be supportive.

Hey Chris,

Keep on fighting if you’re reading this! We’re behind you.

(Thanks for the posting, gail.)

I look forward to more good news, and cak’s return. Thanks for the update, Gail.

@All: This appeared last night; reference is to the post-it notes she is using to jog her memory.

”..my husband leaves some real winners around the house. I am also the new proud owner of a permanent, “Hello, My Name Is….” button. Yep…it’s necessary!

Thanks everyone, it’s good to be able to move around more, again. Typing a little more here and there, it’s not hurting as much now.”

Thanks for the post @gailcalled. I miss Chris.

@gailcalled Thanks so much for the update.

Love to you, Chris.

New news from Chris on FB:

Chris Anne: ‘I have been scanned from head to toe! Can you see me glow?’
November 16 at 6:54pm ·

Thanks @gailcalled . Glad to know she is still fighting!

Thanks for the update, @gailcalled.

Stay strong, @Chris!

Thanks Gail.

Here’s the latest; not so cheering.

Chris Anne: To chemo or not to chemo….that is the question. Hmmmm…got a lot of thinking to do.
Yesterday (Dec.4) at 9:44pm ·

@gailcalled:
No… no so cheering at all.

Continuous lurve and best wishes out to CAK!

Why can’t someone find a cure for this hideous disease

She’s able to think. She’s able to post. She has choices and feels able to make them. I am glad to hear those things.

Thanks to @gailcalled, and love and gentle hugs to @cak.

@Jeruba – Hear, hear!

And more hugs for @cak!

Chris just posted on Facebook.

Need to borrow some courage, anyone have any to spare? My husband and I see the oncologist Wednesday,to decide on further treatments. I can continue on with treatments that are not working or stop them and see where life takes me. I’m closer to feeling like I know what the answer is. Without the strength of my husband, family and friends, I just don’t know where I’d be today.

I’m praying for you, Chris. Sending you all of the courage that I can muster.

lots of thoughts for Chris.

Here’s how to make a donation to the Blood cancer research societies. If you want Cak to know about it, PM me for her contact info. Maybe that is not a good idea; confidentiality; I or several others have access to Cak’s facebook page. Or I could send her a list.

I heard today on NPR that chronic leucocytic lymphoma (what Chris Ann has) is one of the fastest growing blood cancers; the other is Multiple Myeloma, which one of my cousins is suffering from.

Love and positive thoughts going out to cak. <3

Sending orange thoughts your way, Chris!

Chris just posted on Facebook:

Today my son told me he was going to grow up and cure cancer. My daughter said he’d have to beat her to it. I’m stopping chemo for the rest of the year and am hoping to get in on an experimental study by February. I’m not giving up, just tired of spinning my wheels and sacrificing time with my family, in the process. Hard decision to make, but it’s done – for now.

her children melt my heart
stay strong, Chris.

She is brave and has such a strong spirit and will.

<3

@rooeytoo – That is exactly how I feel.

Enjoy your family, Chris. Bask in their love.

=)

Love volunteering at the boy’s school. Now, I do get some looks from the kids – the scarf thing…so today, I did something different. I wore a silly hat. Smiles all around. Thank you for all the kind words. I felt a lot of relief today, a little fear. Fear is okay – it’s healthy to be a bit fearful. Just makes you fight harder.

Chris/Cak posted on facebook! Friday, February 26, 2010:

(Thought) my husband had updated things, I’m sorry! I just got back out of the hospital. I had intensive treatment in-patient and am doing a bit better. Cancer is still here, but I’m still fighting. Thank you for the prayers. We have some serious family issues going on, it’s not just cancer that’s weighing us down. I know things… will get better…just like to know when.

And again, yesterday:

Has a pledge to find something positive every day. Today I finally realized that all the years I complained about having boobs…(at times bigger than I wanted) well…I don’t have that problem anymore, do I?

@augustlan Thanks for posting. She has some amazing spirit!

@augustlan – Thank you for sharing this. Chris is phenomenal.

@augustlan ~ you read my thoughts… Chris was on my mind a lot last night… thank you for the update.

So good to have news! Thanks, Auggie. Chris, you have never been far from my mind. Keep your faith strong. Spring is coming.

Spring, the time of turning.
Chris Ann, pouring toward you is a tsunami of love – a wave to lift, never to push.
