Thank you. I've been kind of wondering but I hate to pry. When you don't feel great, the last thing a person needs is to be smothered and bugged (how ya doing? What's going on? What's next? yadda-yadda)
Hugs to you Chris.

Thanks Tc for posting this. I have worried about Chris and like Irene says, you hate to pry but you also want Chris to know that you care about her. I hope to hear that she is doing better soon.
Love you both,
Colleen

Pam
Thanks TC, Chris is always on my mind.

Sending you a great big hug Chris, hope you are feeling better now and those anti biotics are kicking the infection. Marty
Chris, I hope you are feeling better soon. Marie
Chicago is coming up soon, so even though I wish you felt better, I am glad you are taking the time you need to rest and get better. We want you feeling GREAT that weekend. If you need anything at all, I'll be happy to take a road trip. Take care, and feel better soon!
Love,
Gail
Thanks for the update. It is very kind to keep us "in the loop" Please send my best along with the others.. .
Sandy
Just spoke with Chris on the phone, and she is feeling alot better, but nervous about test results (who wouldn't be). She is finished with the antibiotics at least, and said will get on board as soon as she can. I passed on updates about all of you, as well as your concerned notes.
leaving on trip early Tues morn. So will not be on for ten days. Talk to you all when I return Oct 2nd. til then...take care of yourselves, and each other.
hugs

Thanks again for staying on top of everything. I get distracted and lose track of time. I love seeing updates on people.
Waiting is always rough, especially if the news might not be the best. Glad the antibiotics are done for her.
You have fun on your trip. Gotta squeeze it in before another winter hits. Have fun, drive carefully.
irene
Thanks for the update on Chris. Will look forward to hearing from her too. Hope the antibiotics worked well!!
Have fun on your trip Tc. You need a break - enjoy yourself!!
love you both,
Colleen
Hi All,
Sorry I havn't been on in awhile. I am still feeling terrible and the CT results did not help any. It showed things getting worse. I also had to have fluid drained from my right lung again yesterday and it looks like the other one will be done next week.
Today has been a bad day, full of fears and anxiety. I don't know if I got into the clinical trial in St Louis, but am now in the process of checking out Northwestern and MD Anderson.
I have made up my mind that I will be in Chicago, no matter what. I just cannot guarentee what I will feel like. I seem to have no energy now and my appitite is almost gone. I am just damn tired of feeling like this and want to find something that will help.
I thank you all for your kind and touching words and am sorry that I am not able to be on any more than I have been. I just wanted you all to know that I was thinking of you. No I haven't given up, I am just aggrivated that I don't know what to do now. Hopefully this will soon pass and I will begin to feel better and able to come back on like I should be.
I just wanted to let you all know what is going on and why I have been gone. I will try, I really will and hopefully something will work.
Love Chris
Do you think you'll have to go back on antibiotics again? Sometimes they have to do more than one round and even try a different type. They must have something available to clear up your lungs.
I hope you do make it to the Chicago trip and have enough energy to have a terrific time. You need lots of love and laughter right now and these women can deliver.
Thank you for writing and letting everyone know how you're doing.
Big hugs, irene
Chris, I am sorry that you are feeling so badly. I have not been on much either, (been busy with football games twice a week), but think of you, Tc, Becky and the others quite often. I am sorry that you didn't get the results that you were looking for. Please rest up so you will be able to enjoy our weekend in Chicago. I miss you and can't wait to see you all. Love ya, Kasie
Ps, if there is anythign I cn do to help, please let me know
Glad to see you are posting! Please know we are all pulling for you and are behind you all the way. I am looking forward to meeting you.
Heidi
It breaks my heart to learn you are feeling so badly. Dangit! I know how much that trip to Chicago means to you. Therefore, you will be in every prayer I send up from here until the Chicago trip takes place.
Teresa
Chris,
It isn't much , but you are in my thoughts .I'm just so sorry you're having such difficulties.. Hoping each day brings some improvement ...
Sandy
Hi Chris,
I am sad you are having such a hard time. It just stinks! Hang in there and keep the faith. You're in my prayers and I hope you feel better very soon!
Love, Shelly
Chris,
This stinks!! I wanted to say a stronger word but figure they will block it. I am so sorry to hear this. I am hoping when they drain your other lung, that will bring more relief and maybe you will feel a little better. I am glad you are checking out Northwestern and MDAnderson. Something will come through for you!!! I am keeping you in my prayers daily and I can't wait for Chicago. I want to hug you in person (gentle hugs).
Love,
Colleen
Chris,
You hang in there. I hope something can be found to bring you some relief. Take care and save your strengh for Chicago. Julie
Just a short update as I am stilll not feeling weel. I started on a pill form of chemo today called Zolada. It sounds like there is a waiting list for the clinical trial so we are now checking into Northwestern. Tomorrow I have my left lung drained, so hopefully that will help some.
I love you all and wanted to kee you up to date on what is going on.
Chris
Chris - you are always on my mind and in my heart. Stay strong.
Love,
Pam
Always good to hear from you. I've never seen anyone mention that medication before. Hmm, Zolada, rhymes with Pina Colada but not as sweet I'm sure. Let's hope it makes you feel better.
It's a day by day thing for now but I also hope you can make it to the Chicago get together. The love and laughter will do so much for you and best of all, no side effects (maybe a few new laugh wrinkles).
hugs to you, irene
