I need a favor

[rocknrollgirl]

Several months ago, I put out a call for good karma. My mom who is my best girlfriend, has been fighting ovarian cancer for 3 and 1/2 years. To date, she has had 32 chemo treatments. She rarely complains no matter how hard it gets, she just fights.
In Nov we were waiting to find out if the cancer had spread, hence the call for karma. The cancer has spread to her lungs.

The new chemo treatment started last Tuesday. She will get it every week for three weeks and then one week off. They warned her that it was going to be bad, and it is horrible. She is really sick. And feeling a bit down I suspect.

So here is where you guys come in. I thought that we could send out some good karma again, and I will send her the link, and let her read the messages. She is in Colorado, and I am in NJ, so it makes it tough to cheer her up.

So, Want to help???

You guys would love her, she is little and fiesty, and bikes and skis and hikes. She would fit in around here just perfectly. Her name is Ruth, just like me.

So send it our way ladies...we could use a boost right about now....

Thanks,
Ruth

Ruth,

I work at a Breast Care Center, but the ovarian cancer patients get their treatment in our infusion area......hang tough, Ruth. I have met a lot of women, who I suspect are getting treatment similar to yours......make sure you let your doctor and nurses know all about ANY side effects you are experiencing. There are lots of medicines to help with those nasty side effects. I know plenty of women with ovarian cancer (with mets) who have been fighting the good fight for many years....don't give up!!!!

I am sending good, positive healing thoughts your way!!!!

Ruth, you sound like one fiesty and tough cookie! Keep up the good fight- it's one that only you can fight, but one that we are all here cheering you on for. We're behind you all the way! When you're getting treatments, and you're feeling badly, we're the silhouettes and shadows in the corner whispering shouts of cheer, encouragement and love. We love ya!
Go, girl, go!!!!
Cancer is a terrible, disgusting, evil, and microscopic bottom feeder that has no place in such a strong, tough, wonderful, sweet woman such as you! Kick it to the curb!



By the way, my mom, who is battling breast cancer, sends her love. She says she knows of the pain you are feeling (of sorts). She sends her well wishes and healing vibes. Stay strong, and stay positive! You're a fighter!

Sending best wishes to Ruth. Same name as my grandmother, by the way, who in spite of a bout with skin cancer lived to be either 3 months short of 100 or 9 months over, depending on which birthdate one believed.

Now if the well wishes of bike-riding lady strangers isn't enough to get your spirits up, we also have a humor forum. Long as you're on line, why not go there and browse for laughs? http://forums.teamestrogen.com/forumdisplay.php?f=44

Ruth,
My sincerest wishes go out to you. I know you've been fighting for a long time, but don't quit now! Keep up that fight! You've one week behind you and just two more to go. Hopefully, the chemo treatment will work well for you.
You have a great daughter. Unfortunatley, I dont' get to see her to often. But she truly is a great person. I'm sure she got it from you, too!
Take care.
Kerry

Ruth, you sound like one good fightin' lady. It sounds like it's been a hard road, but don't give up hope! You have an awesome daughter by your side, together you'll keep on fightin'.

Here's a little mini-cheerleader to take with you on your journey

[pooks]

Ruth -- count me in as one of your cheerleaders! My grandmother beat cancer twice and died of "old age" many years later. I send the same good vibes and good health to you!

[Running Mommy]

Tho it sounds like you are being strong. I just want to remind you that you can never give up!! I had to go through a regimen of anti cancer drugs a few years ago and I was told that the side effects were just like chemo. I vividly remember how ill I was, and how depressed I got. But I want you to know that there are people all over this country- the world actually (we are one BIG family here at TE) - that are pulling for you. There will be many prayers from many faiths spoken for you.
Please consider this a big ((((((((((HUG))))))))))))) from not so sunny Arizona.
My prayers are that you stay strong and get through this.
Go get em Ruth!

Ruth x 2,

Cancer is a terrible thing, but it's a beatable thing. We're all sending you blessings and that amount of posative energy has gotta help. And with a fiesty little thing like you (doesn't matter which one we're referring to at this point) to take advantage of this posative energy, I'm sure you'll fight a great battle and beat this nastiness.

Every morning I do a meditation where in I send blessings out to people in my life, you've been officially added to my list.

[Bad JuJu]

Hey, Team Ruth!

Go Team Go!
Everyone at the Bad JuJu household is sending healing energy and compassionate vibes your way! You make it happen!
(((((((((((((Ruth & Ruth))))))))))))))))

Much alofa,

Hey Ruth, I was just sitting here thinking about you. Hope you're feeling better and your off week is giving you some respite.
