Prayers needed for our Lynda ~ + ~ Applegate comments ~ + ~ Rogene

[Guest guest]

We join Dede in sending special prayers and love to Lynda Roth ... one of the finest advocates ever in the breast implant debacle. I have added two of her latest emails on her condition below.

Back in 1997 ... I recall when Lynda 'debated' a Y-Me (silicone industry financed breast cancer group) about implants on MSNBC ... she was brilliant and put the other women to shame.Quick note about Applegate ... we have some good comments on this blog and could surely use more.

Another very interesting article from Natural News on is here.Happy to report that our Rogene is recovering well from her ear cancer surgery ... lots more prayers going her way too as she starts radiation next week. She too, is a tireless advocate for women and their offspring affected by silicone.

With love from IlenaBreast Implant Awareness Blogspot

for our Lynda, she is having a

very tough time right now with

her lung cancer not responding

to the chemo, and so many new

decisions to be made.

God Bless Her, and give her love,

strength, hope, and peace.

Thank you all !

I

have decided to ask my doctor to cvhange my chemo to a more aggressive

one to combat this cancer. I have proposed doxil with gemzar, as I

found research that shows this is effective in castes where the cancer

is intractible (does not want to go away). Tuesday he will meet with

the board and discuss it with all the docs there and I will meet with

him afterwards. Meanwhile, I have tole him I want to continue with

what I am doing,. and I am waiting for a response to that.---------- Forwarded message ----------From: Lynda Roth <coss@...>

the bad news is that there was no change on the PET scan between April

and August. The other bad news is that chemotherapy will continue

through at least January, but with a different chemotherapy agent,

Gemzar. On the bad side, it is a weekly chemo. 3 weeks on and 1 week

off, unless the blood counts are too low, then 2 weeks on and one week

off. Also probably will have to have injections to bring up both red

and white blood counts.

This drug is not supposed to cause peripheral neuropathy or hand/foot

syndrome, and has a 15% chance of hair loss, usually minimal.

This begins on August 15th, one week from today.

Nothing more to report, except that I am damned upset that there was no

progress with three months of chemo and that I have to continue with

chemo for at least 6 more months. I may pull my hair out, so may not

have to worry about hair loss.
