oh yes, I thought of the fence too and luckily avoided it. Esp. now that it has been turned up because a new gelding kept getting in the mares' field!! Another boarder took her gelding back to her field the other day and we watched as HE took off (like the OTTB that he is) and ran, ran through the field, with lead rope flying... we wondered what had happened. Well, she got close to the fence, did not touch it but got zapped. It got him through the chain and he took off!!
So, yes I was lucky there!! lol

Wow, i'm so sorry to hear this. Jingles to FI and Shaun. I'm going to do a collective TOC prayer tonight for anyone who needs it. I am so in awe of people who choose to fight and carry on. The big C is in my family at the moment and my aunt is in the process of fighting it. Very scary.

Sending positive thoughts and vibes.

I am doing fine. I have had 9 treatments so far.. 21 to go!
The technicians are really nice and answer all my questions. I met a woman I knew a long time ago (our kids were in elementary school together... they are now all married, in their 20s). She had quite the fight.. 5 cm tumour, chemo, surgery, then radiation. She had to stop radiation on Tuesday (one week short) because her skin was so burned and splitting. I guess I never quite "understood" that side effect (ie like a sun burn). Her skin was purple! So now, I am really watching my skin and so are the technicians. They say that not everyone reacts like this and the splitting is pretty rare. ok... let's hope!

Otherwise, today, finally I can get in the car without help from my hand to lift my left leg in or out! It took a good week.. but then I tried to get on my mare bareback on Sunday and she moved, I slipped and landed on my feet but without bending my knees... ouch! I felt the sharp pain all the way up the leg...

Hoping Steph's friend and Shaun are doing well.

Shawn made it thru surgery. No lymph node involvement she is awake and in good humor!

Thanks FI! I know you are in your own drama! I let Shawn know we are jingling for her!

They can already tell that??? wow... I hope they can treat the 3 cancers effectively with drugs that are compatible... I have never heard of 3 cancers at the same time!

I am pretty calm about my situation. It's weird.. The doctors were really reassuring and optimistic... so far radiation is easy. I just hope my skin does not overreact in a few days...

Let us know how she is doing and what kind of treatment she will be getting!!

I am surprised they could tell the 3 different cancers before surgery and that no lymph nodes were involved right at surgery. But then, in my case, no fine needle biopsy has ever given results other than "inconclusive".
Thinking of her!

A quick update on Shawn. Another surgery today to increase her margins? Her spirit is great and she is ok.

How about you FI!

I found out Shawn is starting Chemo on The Monday after turkey day. One type will be for a year. WTH? Her spirit is good and her sense of humor is intact!

Keep jingling for my friend!

Yes FI how are you. Poor Shawn is having her 3rd surgery today. More cancer it seems. 3 major surgeries in 2 1/2 weeks. On her care page she is so upbeat and funny! Her incredible spirit will see her thru this!
