I have chemo again tomorrow, (3 weeks on 1 week off) I have a feeling they will be changing the chemo again, I'm starting to get those little blue bruises again, like when was running low of potassium. Being tired is the weirdest feeling in the world! I can sleep 24 hours straight and still feel like I just missed the missed the bed! lol When I first found out I had breast cancer, I thought ok, I'll have it for a little while then when I am done, I done with it. You're aren't even sure how you feel about the cancer, they told me I would have 8 weeks of chemotherapy and 2 years of physical hormone replacement, I STILL don't know what exactly went wrong where but something sure didn't work out in my best interest......there are days I loaf of bread confuses me! lol
We all have our childhood issues and with my Brother he was always told he was never going amount to anything, he was no good..so My Father told him like his Father before him...My Brother's intelligence would be questioned,my Sisters's weight would always get asked even though she really wasn't overweight and you could never get away with calling me stupid! Well........I get pretty stupid now, Like a said a loaf of bread confuses me and I wish to God it was a joke! Who knew Chemo was so life altering huh?? lol
One of my buddies is in the mattress business and I am so impatient instead of waiting a few extra days I ran out and bought one by myself......instead of waiting for Jim....a queen didn't even fit in the back of suburban...I called my Brother and he saved me...(pick-up truck)....sorry BOB! Thought it was going to be a quick hop, skip and a jump and I'm in my new bed! lol Now I'm looking for a small student desk for Lil Jimmy's old room..... I have my lap top now and I am slowly getting used to it........just to keep all my paperwork on.
I never was a great house cleaner but I do want to at least look like I am putting the house in some kind of order.....don't worry I'm not going anywhere,,,,, Bob owes me lunch...they just refinished remodeling the restaurant so don't worry Bob there is still a chance you'll get to buy me lunch! lol lol lol
So what did I learn this weekend? Queen beds don't fit in suburban's, you can still call your brother to move a mattress, Bob still wants Mongolian BBQ and a lap top is not any faster than a PC!
To my friends and family that are giving me my space right now I really appreciate it, I'm not sure where my body is going with this cancer thing but it's definitely working it's way through the rest of me, I don't know how much chemo I am going to end up having, I never know how much illness I am going to have with it either, I just know it sure sucks right now to be me!

Hello!
Just a lurker here that wants you to know that you are in my daily thoughts and prayers too. I can't even imagine the feelings you are experiencing now! Your strength and determination is totally admirable. I don't think that I could be as strong as you dear warrior. I do think that laughter is a welcomed relief to any illness and found a couple of things I would like to share with you. Here are some bumper stickers you might find amusing:
From "I'd Rather Do Chemo than Clean Out the Garage"

and if none of those bring a smile to your face, what about this? http://www.cafepress.com/planetcancer.56564828
There are more items here: http://www.cafepress.com/planetcancer if you are interested.
One more interesting site I found was here: http://www.cancerfightingstrategies.com/immune.html
Again, I just wanted to say hello and let you know there are more prayers for you out there than you know!
Strength and Blessings to you and yours,
(another) Linda
Laptops may not be faster, but they are small and cute. Just like you! I'm sorry about the little bruises showing up and all the tiredness and thinking issues. This has been such a long haul for you. I hope you are able to get done with this and get back on track with healing soon. You are a trooper.
Stephanie
God bless you child...you have been through so much and have always, always been so strong....I am so sorry this asshole named cancer will not leave you alone...I wish it had a real body that I could beat up and mangle and torture to death...I am that mad at it right now...God help me....
Please know that You are STILL MY HERO...You are still the strongest person that I have ever known...
God bless and heal you,
love ,
carlene
((((((((Kim)))))))) Praying for you to have energy and strength. Take care of yourself. May God tough you my friend! Hugs,TerryAnn
It really does suck, Kim. More than anyone who hasn't gone through this can understand. More than I can understand. All I DO know, and want YOU to know, is that you are in my prayers and with each one I also send healing strength from my heart to yours and peace for you thoughts when storm clouds hover.
You are in the hearts of so many, Kim. We truly love and care about you.
::tight hug::
Michelle
God bless you. I have no words, because I've never been where you are. But I surely admire your honesty. I hate cancer.
I'm glad to see your post but I wish you were feeling better or on the other side of the chemo. Don't worry about the bread or anything else, you rest when you need it, as much as you need, and I know that a bunch of people out here on the otherside of these glass screens are busy sending prayers your way.
You're still in daily prayers!
Missie
Don't know what more I can say then what has not been said already so I'll just add my name to the list of people who wish you well. Paula

As I was in the MRI machine having my brain scanned, I thought of you and wondered how you're doing! Whenever you cross my mind, I say a prayer for your healing and well being. I hope this holiday season fills you with joy and peace.
I guess you're in the middle of your three weeks. Thinking of you. Take all the rest you can and eat all the fresh veg and fruit you can manage.

Hi Kim,
I pray that you are well. I fear that you haven't written because you haven't felt well enough to do so. My HOPE, however, is that you're just not writing because you're too busy because you're out there shopping for Christmas and spending some much treasured time with your family.
I will keep praying for you, my friend. Stay strong Pink Warrior. We are all holding you up, and will be here for you regardless of whether you write to us j-land folks or not. You are precious to all of us, Kim.
Much Love and Friendship,
Jamie

You have my prayers, but I'm sure you know that, and still it can be a nice thing to hear and receive. I'm sure too that we have your prayers, and I think each of us who visits here and tells you about our hope and prayers, each of us is receiving at least as much as we are giving (if not more) because you are an inspiration.
Take care of yourself and whereever your journey leads keep fighting, strength is in spirit, and what strength my spirit can give, you have.

From reading Kim's blog for a while now, I see how much she is loved and admired. I had a thought.....Tomorrow I am going to light a candle for her and offer up prayers throughout the day. There is power in prayer! It is such a pure form of love. I would like to invite everyone that reads this blog to join me tomorrow, 12/21 and also 12/22, to light a candle for Kim and pray for her. I believe she will feel the love and be strengthened by it!
*****DAY OF PRAYER FOR SWEET KIM: 12/21 & 12/22 LIGHT A CANDLE AND REMEMBER OUR DEAR WARRIOR WOMAN*****
Love the "Day of Prayer for Sweet Kim and the candle lighting", you can bet I'll have my candle going for our precious Kim. Thanks for this wonderful way to show our caring love for our "Sister in Heart" Kim. Arlene (AJ)
Kim just wanted to stop in and tell you, you are in my thoughts and prayers and I think of you often.
What a wonderful idea for lighting a candle and prayers for you...see Jland is always by your side.. I too will be lighting a candle and praying for you...not only the next couple days..but throughout the week of christmas as well....

astoriasand htttp://journals.aol.co.uk/astoriasand/MYSIMPLERHYMES
Kimmie,
Candle is lit and prayers being said on your behalf. Rest easy, friend. God can do amazing things. There are miracles of all kinds...the touch of a loved one, energy to endure a busy day, thousands of sentiments of love from people you don't even know...those are all miracles. I am praying for many miracles for you today and always.
With all the love the Lord fills me with, I extend that love to you.
God Bless You,
Jamie
Got up this morning Kim and first thing I did was light the candle for you dear. Hope you are feeling all of our love and caring - bless you. Arlene (AJ)
Kim,
You've lit a candle in my heart. It will burn there for a long, long time.
Thank you
Jason
Always in my thoughts, Kim.
Bunny xx
Hope you're doing as well as possible. Merry Christmas and a Heppy New Year
Kim,
I used your words (miracles and Hope) to find quotes that I feel you need to read.
"Miracles are spontaneous, they cannot be summoned, but come of themselves" (Katherine Anne Porter).
I find that it is not the circumstances in which we are placed, but the spirit in which we face them, that constitutes our comfort.
Elizabeth T. King
The Lighthouse Of Hope
The Lighthouse of Hope
Sits on a quiet and peaceful slope;
It shines out into the current
And warns you of the impending torrent.
It will help you on your heavenly trek,
And prevent you from becoming lost and shipwreck.
It shines out into your darkest night;
It’s your everlasting illuminating light.
The Lord is there in our spiritual boat;
He guides us and leads us and keeps us afloat.
His light shines out into the black;
It fights off and stops every attack.
He is our strength when all else fails;
His love and power always prevails.
When it looks like all hope is gone,
God’s hope and mercy will always live on!
hope to see you online in the near future.
Just checking on you Kim. I hope you are well and wish you a very Merry Christmas.

As Kim's friend I am trying to inform all of her friends here of the most current information. It is not good. Kim has been given 3 days to 3 weeks to live. Please pray for a peaceful passing and pray for her family. She fought as hard as she could but just couldn't fight any longer. Thank you from the family.
Please if you are with Kim, give her a special hug and kiss for all of us in J-land who loved our special "Warrior". Arlene (AJ)
It is so hard to say goodbye to a friend, you are so very much loved here by so many. I know that God will welcome you with open arms, we left here will miss you so much. And I firmly believe that we will all meet again in a better place...love you...Sandi

The world's light will certainly grow a bit dimmer when she leaves, but heaven will gain an angel. She will live on in the hearts of all who loved her and were blessed enough to be touched by her. {{{{{{{{{{{{Kim}}}}}}}}}}}} Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
I was wondering where Kim has been and read the comment left from a friend. J-land has lost so many friends lately. I'm so sorry, and wish Kim a very peaceful passing.

I had written a poem a while back in my journal with Kim in mind! Hopefully, she passes peacefully and my prayers are with her family! -Dawn-
“Strength”
What lies within me is the battles of a thousand years,
Millions of heartbreaks and about a billion tears;
Still I have power to stand strong against the slings and arrows.
Nothing will bend me, break me or make me feel weak when there’s a challenge I must face.
I will face down fear, spit in her eye, kick out my own sadness, and tell disappointment to say, “Good bye.”
No one will change my view and nothing will alter my thoughts.
The storm will pass and I will be strong.
No matter what goes on I will find the strength I’ve stored up during horrible times and bad dreams.
My heart will grow wings and I’ll soar beyond my pain;
And my insecurity.
I may cry, briefly, demand to know why, but no matter what I’m not prepared to give up and I will not say good bye.
My prayers are with you and your family. Helen
Dear Kimberleigh,
I hope you are not suffering. The hardest part will be leaving your Husband and Children & Mom behind.
I pray for you and for all of them for the strength to get you all through very difficult time.
We are all better people for having you in our lives.
You will not be forgotten. You are such an amazing woman.
Love & prayers to all,
Niki
Father bless and heal and if your will bring back to full healing. Father if not then provide peace for all amen
Not unexpected, but deeply, deeply saddened by this news. I hope, Kim, that you're not in pain or discomfort, and will not be when the time comes. Wishing you and your family and friends strength, both those with you in person and those out there in J-land. You're one heck of a fighter.
Dearest Kim,
I'm so very sorry to read your friend's comment below. I've kept you and your family in my thoughts and prayers daily and will continue to do so. I pray to God that you aren't suffering. You've been such a good friend and when I first started reading journals, yours was the first I got brave enough to leave a comment in. You wrote back to me and were so sweet and encouraging....always so funny and quick witted....I'm so sad, so very sad and sorry for your family and for you. Bless you Kim.
Love,
~Bilinda~
I have been missing Kimberleigh and will continue to miss her. She is, by far, one of the MOST amazing women I have ever known. I am beyond sad to hear the news, she will be in my thoughts for years and years to come. Her family will forever be in my prayers. As so many people know, there is just no other like her. She has an outlook on life like no other and anyone who was blessed enough to know her is better for it. She is the most INPIRATIONAL person I have ever known. Creative, Deep, Loving and in touch with all that really matters. I will miss her so much. -Kelly

I am so sorry to hear the news, but I know that you will be made whole again on the Other Side. Warrior Girlfriend, when I cross, I will look you up for sure. Prayers being said for Jim and the kids, and I am so happy we found each other in J-land, even though it is so hard to let you go now.
be well,
Dawn
Kim, my thoughts and prayers remain with you and your family. You are a remarkable woman.
I am truly saddened by the news of Kim. My prayers go out to her and her family. The coming weeks will be very hard for those left behind and will need our continued prayers for their healing. Kim's journal was the first journal I have read on the net. I instantly became a regular reader and will greatly miss her sense of humor. I don't think it was by accident that I found her journal with words so inspirational and yet so humorous. You've fought one heck of a battle courageous warrior and now it's your turn to rest easy...Loves2
Kim, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

How do we count the lives she touched,
The light she shed for years?
How do we see the difference she made
When we're looking through our tears?
How do we know the things that are
That never would have been
Without her valiant heart that dared
To fight, and fight again?
How do we know what flowers will bloom
From seeds of yesterday,
What songs are sung and dreams begun
Because she passed this way?
How do we measure the shining place
That time can never pale
In all the hearts that cheered her on
And willed her to prevail?
How did her spirit soar beyond
The suffering and the scars
To live with one hand clutching hope
And the other on the stars?
We may not know what she left behind
On the difficult path she trod...
But we know this much: her life's brief touch
Was from the hand of God.

With much admiration for a truly inspiring woman. I will always remember you, Kim.
In sisterhood,

The sky is lit up with Angels this evening...
RIP...

I am so sorry to hear about Kim's passing. God bless her and her family... Linda
*sigh* This make me so sad. Never had I read a journal where someone who was facing so much was so positive. I learned a lot from you. Now you can rest. So sad for us and all you left behind, but you are where you are meant to be. :o)
LORI
I am so sorry ...... I have learned so much from Kim's journal. Sending prayers.
I'm so very sorry to hear about Kim's passing......may she rest in peace with the angels, she is one too. In her own sweet way with humor, she'll have them all laughing in heaven. I'm keeping her and all of her family and friends in my prayers. She will be sorely missed here in
J-Land.
Take Care,
~Bilinda~
I will miss your laughter.... you always made me smile....
Special thoughts for your family...
Linda...
Now your fight is over, you can rest dear Kim. I am glad you were surrounded by your family. You were a truly remarkable woman who showed such humour and courage, an inspiration to all who read your journal. You supported me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. If I am unlucky and mine returns, I hope I can be as brave as you. Condolences to all the family. Kim will be very much missed.
OMG... I am so sorry... I was just getting used to the idea that we were going to lose Kim soon... and here she has passed already. I am so sorry... many many prayers being said for Jim and kids, and family and friends of Kim. I am so happy we found each other in Jland... You gave me strength, dear Warrior Gal... I will never forget you.
be well,
Dawn

Your journal touched my heart deeply.
May you rest in peace.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Kim's family and friends...thank you to Judy for keeping us all informed ...
Kim,
You were always an inspiration to many of us in Jland with the strength and courage you had...you tried not to ever let this journey get you down....you had a sense of humor that carried you through many of your difficult days...I could always count on you to make me smile.....You will be missed dearly in Jland...and will never be forgotten...
Fly with the Angels..my friend
Love you!
Terri
I know you are in terrible grief right now...so are we...her journal friends...She touched so many of us here......She never thought about herself..always worrying more about how her illness would affect her family...She was one of the most COURAGEOUS people I have ever met in my life...A TRUE ANGEL....I know she is now in Heaven among all the other Angels...without pain....without worry....but bathed in God's Holy Light.
I pray that Our Lord and Savior comforts you; her family, and brings you the peace of knowing that She is always there with you...You may not see her physical body...but her love for you will never die.
sincerely,
Carlene Noggle
God be with your family Kim RIP

In Sweet Memory....
When I think of my friend,
she is one I've not met.
Yet, through the net,
a friend she is to me.
She's laughed at my tales
Regaled me with hers.
Loved her Photography,
so good as to take
your breath away.
She cried for my hurts and
clapped for my awards.
I admired her convictions.
determination and soul.
Her family has become
dear to my heart.
Her daughter sings like
an angel, the world needs
to hear.
All of her children are
held very dear.
A battle she has been
waging against the evil C.
A warrior princess my
friend Kim will forever
be.
Would that I could lend
you strength, I would
gladly do it my dear.
For now our many prayers
are aimed at heaven as if
our thoughts were arrows
straight to God's heart.
Fight on, the good fight
my friend, my beautiful
Irish Warrior Princess.
You fought the good fight,
With all of your might.
Weary now, let the Angels
carry you, as is your right.
Till we meet again, our
beautiful Irish Warrior
Princess...
May you rest in peace hun. All my thoughts and prayers out to your family.
xxxxxxxx
Rest in Peace Kim you will be greatly missed.
You and your family are in my prayers.

I will be praying for the family for peace, comfort and the grace to get through this. You inspired many and will not be forgotten. Love, Brandy
I am so sad to hear of Kim's passing. I used to share her funny posts with my family members and how brave a person she was to me. I am a bit in shock over this and can only say how sorry I am for your loss. What a great loss it must be for Kim's family and friends. I did not know her personally, only through her posts but I could tell she was such a brave and funny soul. I will so miss her posts. May God's angels wrap her family and friends in peace and comfort during this time. My sincere condolences.
rest in peace my friend,
my condolences to the family
Rest in peace, warrior princess...your pain is no more. Kim touched the lives of many...I didn't "know" her but I "knew" her all the same. May God keep her family always in the ligth of His love. My deepest sympathy...

When I first read that Kim was only given a few days to a week to live, the tears flowed and I went and lit a candle for Kim.....I hope the candle helped to light Kim's path to heaven.....such a wonderful, loving, giving of herself to others and positive women with all that she was dealing with, such an inspiration to all of on how to live and enjoy life. My prayers go out to her family that she loved so dearly, please know we all felt Kim and all of you were part of our family and hold a special place in our hearts for all of you. Our Special Warrior is at peace, may that help all of her family and loved ones knowing she's not suffering anymore. God Bless You All.....Arlene (AJ)
