She is an amazing lady and has supported me through so much lately, and now it is my turn to return the favor. She is having a hard time right now and really needs extra prayers. If you could all please say as many prayers for her as possible. I am asking that you don't bother her about knowing what is wrong, as she is having a hard time and simply needs prayers and the supporting attitude we all have. I know she is a very strong and amazing lady and will make it through this. I just really don't want to see anything bad happen to such a dear friend. Thank you ladies, I know that she will really love it!:o

Thank you all so much for the prayers and well wishes! Things went smoothly, they just removed more tissue, and part of the muscle. I haven't taken anything for pain since I got home from the hospital. Hopefully I won't have to. I hate that weird feeling the pain pills make you have. I think he was listening when you all said a prayer for me, I feel good, just really sleepy. Thank you all again! Hugs ~ Kim

As I have told you before...I might not always be 'here' but you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I want you to know, I told you I would ;) that Victor the cat is now a proud owner of a pink streak for the American Cancer Society Breast Cancer Awareness Fund we have going on here. :D It is on his chest. (More like a thick streak in the white fur)

The girls are getting their hair done on Sat. morning and my neighbor did her dogs already (she is the hairdresser) and she already thinks she might have to re-do them!

Continous positive thoughts coming your way!!!

All my love,

Kim, Saturday is coming so soon!!! Just so you know, we are doing the 5 mile walk not the 3!!! I figured I could do 5 since I am doing it for 3 people who have all been fighting, and even one that has lost her battle. It is the least I can do to show all of you my support. I know that Jerri's family will love it. We did the 24 hour dive-a-thon for her, and they raised a TON of money!!! We are going to do more stuff to help raise money because we can donate until June she said. I can't wait for all these things to show my support!:D Still keeping you in my prayers all the time!!!

Nancy....that sounds so cute! I have never seen that done, but sounds like fun. If the cat has no claws....otherwise, the kitty hairdresser could be in for a rough day. LOL My daughter is thinking I should have my hair dyed pink. I just don't know that I could pull that one off. ;) I may not have any to worry about, not sure yet. But either way, I can handle it. Thank you guys for all of your support! It is very much appreciated!

Thanks Ashley! 5 miles....WOW. That is fantastic! I appreciate what you are doing, and I know everyone else does too! Once I am finished with treatment, I think I may just have to walk in one of these walks. Today, I don't think I could make it 5 minutes on a tread mill. :D I had chemo yesterday, it didn't make me sick, but it sure has made me weak. Then I had a neulasta shot today, that is supposed to make it all worse. I don't think it will, I am not going to let it. LOL Hope you are having a great day! Thank you for the prayers....they are appreciated! And thank you again from the bottom of my heart for doing the walk! You are AWESOME!

Just keep your head up and you will get through it with very little problems. You have the right mind set to get through it with few problems. You should do one once you get your health back and feel like you can do it. They have a huge ceremony before hand for survivors! And of course it is no problem. I told you before that I am here for you anytime, and with you wanting to do one but can't, well I will do it for you! Plus like I said, I can struggle a little to walk 5 miles since you have to struggle to get your health back! We set a goal to get it done no later than noon (it starts at 9:00), which we should have no problem doing. I know I can do about 2 miles in 40 minutes, so we should be done way before noon. Depends on how crowded it is also. I donated $20 for the dive-a-thon and then won some fins in a silent auction for $20, and we are planning on donating atleast another $20 Saturday, so I will have donated around $60 this month for finding a cure!:D

Kim, we finished the walk in 1 hour and 15 minutes!! That is great for 5 miles. We were in the first quarter of the people that finished!! It was so amazing that we decided we are going to do it every year. It was not even as hard as we thought it would be! I am doing the MS walk for my mom when it comes to town. Here are some pictures:

This is only about half the people before the race started

Ashley...how sweet you are! The shirt is so cool! And the bracelet, well it just matched perfectly! Thank you for walking! I too am planning to walk next year, I cannot wait! I would like to do the 3 day, but by that time, I just don't know if I could walk for 20 miles a day. I don't think I would be in shape enough. I hope I feel up to walking soon! Thank you for doing it for me!! You are appreciated! And......I LOVE THE PICS! :D:D:D:D

I would love to do the 3 day one. I wonder if we have one of those. It would be a good thing to work up towards. My b o o ty is just about the only thing sore today, and its like where my legs and b o o ty come together. Seth just laughs about it, but I am SO glad we did it. They didn't tell us that the route they had us on was up and down hill the whole time. Our friend Julie was pushing her grandmother in a wheel chair and we lost her once we got to the worse downhill section. It was worth waking up early! They even treated us to water, bananas, soy joy bars, and crackers after! hehe:D Oh and free parking!!!!!! I bought a long sleeve tshirt but they only had large left, but I didn't think I would need a long sleeve since I thought I would sweat, well I didn't but I wore the shirt I bought under the shirt I made and it worked out well. I just looked it up and they raised $286,000 and they are still counting the money today:eek: :D

$286,000 That is awesome! I appreciate it, and I know everyone else does too! You never know when or how your life will be affected by this disease. You never think it will happen to you or anyone your love.

Thank you Jess, it is appreciated. Still in the hospital, this is the 7th day. UGH...I hate this place! Dr. says I will probably be here until the end of the week. Chemo will be stopped for 4-6 weeks, now I have a huge angry looking ulcer in the duodenum (Sp?). I have had popsicles for a week. Today I tried ice cream, and it made me sick. So.... I am aggravated! I have to eat before I can go home, and when it makes me sick, I can't eat. Not the best way to lose weight! But, I am looking on the bright side, at least it is not my gall bladder like they thought it was. The symptoms were the same. The gall bladder would have been worse, I would have had to have major surgery for that. No laproscope for me, too many abdominal surgeries. Thank you for your prayers, I do appreciate them. Love & Hugs to you all! ~ Kim

I went to the Dr.s office today and got some IV fluids...DD was doing some moving today, and I didn't tell her I wasn't feeling well. So I am feeling some better now. But, it will probably take a few more days. Thank you all for the prayers! Don't know what I would do without all of you! :D You guys are the best!

Thanks! :) I appreciate your prayers very much! I am doing a lot better. Now to figure out what med to take for 5 years. Tamoxifen has a clotting risk and the Dr. doesn't want me to have it. Catch 22 here... I have to be in menopause to take the others, and I was not before chemo. Decisions, decisions.... YUK

I did the whole Tamoxifen thing. I guess I was lucky, not too many problems with it, just some dryness and hot flashes! Now I am on Femara with the same effects. Go figure!!!

My Mom did Tamoxifen too. I had a clot that blocked the portal vein in my liver, and he will not allow me to take it. And that was 17 years ago. He said we could do one of 2 things. 1=Lupron shot every three months with one of the AI drugs (and this may or may not work) or 2=hyst*****omy needless to say, I am off to the gyn in the morning.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. They are truly appreciated! :)

I have not done it yet, but I certainly plan on being at the one next year. Gotta get my strength back to 100%. ;) That was a good thing you guys did with raising money in Jerri's memory.

Ya I know. Sadly the 1 year is not too far away. I don't want to have to think about it. She was such a great woman. Her family loves what we are doing and are at every event we have done. We are all one big family so it is nice to have everyone around when something so sad happens. You will be more than ready next year and I will be cheering you on!! I have a friend doing the 3 day walk and I thought about doing it with her, but I don't have time to raise all the money. Maybe next year!!

That is great that the family is so supportive. I know they are proud that you guys do things in her memory. I would like to do the 3 day too, but I know I would not be able to do it by October. And, my Ashley is getting married in October. It is a lot of money to raise, I may have to start trying to raise funds now. ;) :)

Kim, it's good to hear that you're doing better. It does get better. Although I'm still fatigued, I'm so thankful to be alive to feel tired. I just saw my oncologist. For the past year, I've been seeing him every 4 months. The two years before that it was every 3 months. Of course, while I was going through chemo, it was once a month. Now, I've graduated to every 6 months. He said that way it wouldn't be such a shock when I go to once a year. :) You have some tough decisions to make. I wasn't in menopause before I started chemo either, but have been since chemo has ended.

You continue to be in my thoughts, Kim.

I have, but I have not started taking them yet.... Arimidex is the one, but I was not in menopause when I started chemo. They have to suppress my ovaries. It will not work if I am still producing estrogen. I have another appointment with the gyn on the 20th. I may have to have a hyst. Or I will have to take Lupron shots every 3 months, and it may not even work. So I am thinking hyst. I guess I will know next week. (The crazy thing is Lupron is used in men with prostate cancer, but they have started using it with women now to) I just don't want to take the risk that it may not work. Crazy decisions....

Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. I am doing well! :)
