Please pray for freeper Shimmer1 as she continues to undergo treatments.
Here is the message I received from her last night:
Im very weak tonight. I just got up from another nap. Chemo this week (wednesday) made me so weak, Im using a wheelchair when I go to hyperbaric treatment.
I cry at the drop of a hat. Now even sitting isnt helping much. Usually when I sit for a while, or lie down, I recover. Now just movement exhausts me. The movement of walking six feet and lying down is enough to make me moan with exhaustion for probably ten minutes. You ought to see my typing before I correct it!!
I think i cant make it. SEVEN MORE WEEKS OF THIS????? But I must, because that aggressive, deadly cancer must have every chance of being killed off. I really am exhausted, coming into my house makes me so tired that Im almost nauseated. But I must go on. I had been so psyched, thinking I had only one more cycle of three weeks (plus next week) making four weeks more. Then dr said he counted and I had two more cycles. (plus next week) Pray for me please!
I really need my children and grandchildren around and I have none around me. In fact, no one is around me. Can she do it????????? Cmon!! CAN SHE DO IT??????? TELL ME YES!
Prayers continue for you my FRiend.
Oh honey, there’s people worse off than me. I always try to keep that in mind. Especially when I’m feeling sorry for myself.
Oh my word, I’m going to snag that for my tagline! My entire last six months have been like this. One complication after another. This surgery did NOT turn out well. My scar is lumpy and brown because of radiation. I probably won’t be able to go through reconstruction. (Tried before chemo, had to have the expander taken out because of infection) Been in hosp twice and to ER maybe 7 times. Wound care dr, Infectious Disease drs, (from infection, not some dread disease, thank God) You name it.
And I’m sorry to say....I’m not very patient. sigh
Thank you
I have not had a free day in so many months!!!!
Thank you for the update. I’m still praying.
I am so sorry you are going through this. Prayers continue for you in Jesus Name!
Our prayers continue for you and family.
You had quite a day. The good news is you had a bit of a respite, not matter how small it may have been.
May the Grace and Peace of Almighty God comfort you as you continue to endure.
God Bless.
Thank you for the update.
Oh, my, you certainly are having a hard time of it. Wish I lived near you so I could help. Maybe one of our dear FReepers does live near you.
I know exactly what you mean about wanting to be here for the grandchildren.
Possum! Love it. At least, you have kept your sense of humor.
Prayers offered and hugs to you.
Lord Jesus, give strength to Thy long-suffering servant and let her condition improve.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
QuikTrip is a gas place with a really nice little store. I rarely drink coffee, but I do like to go in there. :)
Amen.
Lord, have mercy, sweet! I hate to hear of your valiant suffering. I hate to hear that no one is with you. It is deeply disturbing.
We are just going to pray that God Almighty offers His divine assistance and brings you comfort, inside and out, and we send you our love and constant hope for your daily improvement.
In your weakness, pray for us, because you are in a place of great spiritual strength and your prayers are mighty in Heaven.
How can we thank you for sharing your great strains and little triumphs. You cause us to be humble, and you make us thankful to God for health and family, and you represent His work in you and in us, for your sake, all of us together with you, to his great Glory.
May the Lord be with you and keep you this day in greater comfort and peace. Love, Rita
I’m sorry to hear you had a bad day, and I’m sure you’ve heard that better days are coming. They are. It’s just hard to see that when you’re going through all this. I have a friend whose daughter-in-law had both her breasts removed when she was in her 30’s. She recovered fully from that, but had two other bouts with cancer...different types each time, and in different places. She’s in her late 40’s now, and has been doing well for several years. We never know what the good Lord has in store for us so we can only hope for the best, and strive for that. Keep thinking positive thoughts despite treatments that sap your strength. We’re praying for you, so keep up the good fight.
Thank you for the update, sorry to hear all that you have to go through.
Have they tried using the honey treatment on your wound(s)?
If not, you might ask you doctor if they have someone who uses that method, and also silver is used effectively in some cases.
I have seen some very successful effects on wounds with honey.
I will continue to pray for you.
Gotta splurge and treat yourself once in awhile during this, even if you don’t feel up to it.
Nothing is better than tea and cookies well snuck when nobody’s looking.

I admire you.Continued prayers,Fatima ((((Hugs))))
What a day!!
I’m so sorry you have to do this!
Prayers up. God bless.
When I saw that you’ve had that one problem for SIX MONTHS, I was surprised. But then you mentioned the radiation. Radiation causes a lot of problems, it’s true.
Just keep telling yourself that you’ll see your grandbabies soon...! Enjoy this restful break away from the treatments while you can. You need this break. You’ll be back on track soon enough. Remember, you’re a strong woman. You can do this. {{HUGS}}
