Well, I was feeling yellow.....

Now I'm just feeling...........numb.


It's back, I have a malignant tumor about 3 quarters of an inch in diameters...right lung, on the back just below my shoulder blade about 2 inches off my spine.


3 months to the day of my last chemo.....tests have been ordered for a few blood tests, a full PET scan (about time) and I will have a C/T guided needle biopsy just to see exactly what I am dealing with. I am still waiting for the times and dates, they are in the works....so much for my new hair huh?? good thing I kept goldylocks and my Liza Minelli style eye lashes huh? I'm crying, laughing and pissed off all over again.


Round and round she goes, where she stops....nobody knows.

Hi Kim - I've been reading your journal for months now and have always found it a source of inspiration and laughter - even when you are down, you manage to find at least one thing to be grateful for.

Just wanted you to know that I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers this week. If anyone has the strength and fortitude to fight this next battle, I know it;s you.

I am so sorry that you have to go through this again.  I don't have the same illnesses that you have what I can tell you though it sucks.  I know the crying and the laughing at the same time also.  I will keep you in my prayers.

I don't know what to say, I want to help but how can I? All we can do is continue to support you and send you our love. You will beat this, it's just that someone moved the winning post and now you have further to run. It's so bloody unfair but then that's life isn't it, we just have to do the best we can.

Kim keep that pissed off and I'll beat this attitude, you'll get through this.  You're in all of our special thoughts and prayers and all of us will be here for you.  When you talk with your Doctors my dear, ask about Radio Frequency Ablation.  Check out the sites on the internet on this as a medical treatment procedure. My Cousin Bruce was able to go this route and I'd never heard anything about this prior to his treatment, so wanted to pass it on you to check into.  Bless you dear......hang in there....Arlene (AJ)

OMG, ((((Kim)))), I am so sorry to hear that news. :(  Now you're just gonna have to fight even harder and stay as positive as you can. You are a super strong lady with guts, class, and kids, not to mention a man and a family who love you. FIGHT it, Kim. All of J-land is with you...

Aw... CRAP! I'm so sorry, and any words I have are just going to be lame because this just SUCKS! Hang in there kid. I wish I could do more, but at least I can offer a {{hug}} and all the positive energy I can send is winging your way.

Kim, I am a total stranger, but I have been reading your blog for several days now and receive alerts when you post new ones.  My husband is in the midst of what you are going through...recurrent colon cancer, stage 2.  Who knew you could get colon cancer again without a colon!  I'm not the patient, just the bystander, and it totally sucks for us too.  

All I can say is that I am praying for you, and your precious family.  Hopefully you'll feel the peace from God.  Just saying "I'm sorry," doesn't seem like enough, so prayer is what I offer up on your behalf.  Stay strong, friend!  And I thank you for allowing me, a caretaker, to gain some insight into what my husband is thinking and feeling since he doesn't seem to want to share that part of this process with me.

God Bless You,
Jamie

    I wish from the bottom of my heart you had other news. I'm sorry. Still, you're in my prayers. My brother-in-law told me that he got through cancer because he got pissed off big time. Stay pissed off, and you'll get through this, too.

I, like everyone else in J-land am so sorry this is happening to you again, and offer what little help I can from way down under! But know this - Quitters can't win and fighters at least have a chance!  I know which one you are - and I will be part of your support crew all the way to the finish line to see you collect the medal!

Remember the "God doesn't bring you to anything you can't handle" idea! I know...that is the funny "Just wished he didn't think I could handle so much" but you can & that is what he is saying! Moment to moment! What a story of survival you will be able to tell & teach others! :-)

Oh Kim I can't believe it. I was hoping so hard for good news for you. But one thing I do know is that if anyone can kick cancer's ass it is you! You have been so strong for so long and it is so cruel you have to battle on, but the Kim we know and love is a fighter and an inspiration to us all. Remain pissed off at it and fight like hell.
