Re: chemo scheduled tomorrow

[Guest guest]

Lynda,

I'm so sorry you are going through this! I wish there was another way!

But, mind over matter, you will do well. Stay hopeful and positive

and think good, healing thoughts!

Hugs,

Patty

Oh Patty,

I so wish I had $$$$$$$$$$$$ and had lots more options, but even the

clinics that utilize natural methods also use chemo along with

it. And the pleural effusions can be life threatening, so have to be

stopped NOW, and chemo should do that.

Keep me in your prayers for the shortest treatment course possible so

I can have a life again.

Is this something you can put off until you feel more sure about it?

Or are you sure you need to do it, but too afraid to go? I can totally empathize with being too afraid to go. Maybe the reality won't be as scary as the fear of it? You know I'm in no position to judge on being too afraid to go, but I empathize so much that I wanted to try to help somehow.
