A BIT OF BAD NEWS

Hello my fellow TDF members, friends, and admins, & owners, etc. I know some of you are wondering what happened to me over the last few months. I am sorry I have not been here for most things. I have had some health issues and sadly was just diagnosed with colon Cancer that has also spread to my lung. I want you all to know that your support and understanding is appreciated during this road I must travel. I'm not looking for sympathy, just the support. And make me smile. It lifts my spirits! :) :multi:

This place really is like family to me and us! A lot of you I know in person and some just private chat and some just posting and commenting. Some through my IG Jewelry. I'm blessed to have you all in my life and in our lives. Tongue-O-matic as many know is my husband and has been my rock. He has been the worker in our family and the provider. He has been taking care of me for 27 years. He has lately been working so hard for me and shopping cleaning and doing a lot of the things I was doing. He is my soulmate and would not be here if it wasn't for him. The girls Lexi, London and D'arcy are our hearts. We love them so much and they comfort me as well while I fight this evil disease! They are always taken care of and loved all the time. :angel: :angel: :angel:

As for my IG Jewelry. I will be updating my ebay account soon. I apologize that I have not updated it. I assure you in a week or two I will have my signature piece back up. If anyone wants anything in the meantime, please pm me or tongue if I don't answer right of way. I will still be making the bracelets... And I'm not giving up or in to this. :thumbs_up:

I am just beginning . I have 2 more tests then we will know the plan of what will happen next with chemo and or radiation but I need a few tests to see exactly where I stand. Thank you all for listening and understanding. At least I hope you do. I love all of you and if it wasn't for this place we would be lost. It has given us a whole new light in this dark world. 8) Thanks... love IG

So sorry to hear of this, but as many of us who've known cancer patients have learned, oncology is VERY well-funded compared to years past. The road ahead of you may be tough, but it IS winnable. Have faith in yourself, and your belief system. Be willing to get angry at the situation and FIGHT!

Best wishes to you and your husband as you gear up for the battle ahead. May it bring you closer together, and, if you're religious, closer to God.

Keep us all posted! Now go beat this thing!

My thoughts are also with you.

I fought this battle for over the last few years (plus some heart issues as well).

The trick is state of mind. If you give up the will to fight it will kill you. END of GAME.

So fight on.

Additionally, to help supplement the chemo and radiation I can not recommend these products more strongly.

Astragalus

Artemisinin

Sabah Snake grass tea

Now this tea is a very acquired taste, however, adding some fresh mint, or even a teaspoon of mint sauce certainly makes it more refreshing, but keep away from processed and refined sugars.

As always, refer to your oncologist to ensure this is compatible with your current medication routine, and most importantly, keep on keeping on!

If I can beat it, so can you!

Anung

Sending you a BIG hug. Yes, you can beat this! Take things as they come and think positive thoughts. Also, laughter is the best medicine. Movies that make you laugh can do wonders.

Hugs,

Rari

Kim, i'm so sorry to hear the news... even though Tongue has been keeping me up to date i am a bit shocked to hear it.

You're always such a ray of sunshine on TDF, cheerful in everything you do and have shared that joyful energy with so many of us here... the girls and i have been missing auntie Kim lately.
Our thoughts are right there with you and i hope that you will find the strength within yourself to fight this with the same energy that we have all come to know you for.
With Tongue and the girls together by your side, you really have the best team of supporters one could ever wish for :D You're a fighter Kim, you can come out on top of this! Bring out that Irish fighting spirit! :shakefist:

Mellisa, Sophie, Serena and I will be sending positive thoughts your way, please keep us posted!

The key is to catch it early, as I think you have. Keep on the bright side as medical tech advances rapidly!
