Robin has been having a lot of pain in her ribs, and her shoulder. They did a bone scan, and an xray on Monday to see if her cancer had spread.. They called her today with the results, and said she had a tumor on her shoulder.. She also has 2-3 tumors on her breast bone. She had cancer there in 2005.
She also has a cracked rib.. But they said there isn't anything they can do for that.

She was in stage 4 of Metastatic Breast Cancer.. But they have upgraded it to stage 5. Which is the last stage that you can go to... They are doing a cat scan on Monday to see if it has spread to any of her major organs.. The doctor doesn't know for sure, but he said he thinks that it has.

She told me today not to even think of Christmas this year, because she won't be here for Christmas.

Prayers and good thoughts are definitely needed for our family... We thought she was getting better, and she had started gaining weight back, and then we find this out..

oh molucass!

What a shock for both of you...I hope the scan shows little or no growth, and that there is still something they can do to fight this illness.

Please give Robin gentle {{{hugs}}} from me. I pray for a miracle for her and you; this ain't over yet.

Maybe have an early Christmas - and if she survives, well, you'll just have to do it all over again.

I'll be keeping Robin & family in my prayers. I can't imagine how awful that news was. Hopefully her CAT scan may show it's not spreading.

This is from what I know...

Yesterday she wasn't feeling right on her way to work. At work she got worse & someone brought her to the washroom to try to relax & look her over. The lady rushed out to get someone else. They got her puffer, but it didn't help, it made her worse. They rushed out & got the nearest super. The super called HR & they came down to see whats going on. They called the ambulance as she was showing signs of a heart attack.

Th ambulance took her to the ER & from what I know she was there for almost the whole day getting tests & waiting for results.

When I worked at Samsung-Canada poor Cindy was so stressed. Shes a single mom & can hardly care for her babies (shes burning out). She lives in a dump that is filled with Mice & I told her it sounded like she has mold in there too (all 3 suddenly came down with breathing issues months after moving in)... Shes too poor to move out & the father is a dead beat 40-50% of the time. So that stresses her out too.

Shes always worried that she'll get fired cause she misses so much work, casue her babies are ill & shes ill. They wont fire her, cause shes a good worker & they understand whats going on. But she doesn't get paid on those days, so it just makes things even harder

Cindy is 32 with 2 babies under the age of 6 & the youngest is 2 I believe.

Can some people please keep her in your thoughts. I'm really hoping she just had a sever Anxiety Attack as the symptoms can be very similar.

Huge prayers for Cindy...thank God the bosses understand.

Is there a legal department there that could get someone after the dad? If he put towards the kids' care, things would be a LOT better.

I hope she recovers - and has someone to fight for her and her kids.

From my understanding when I worked there, he is givng child support now (by force)... but years went by & its those years shes still trying to pay back owed $$... + he has the right to see them every 2ed weekend. I don't know how many times, she made plans to drop them off & then go out for once & hes not home. Or he'll call her & tell her no, & so on

So she doesn't get to get out much, which doesn't help her health at all. + the kids get upset as they were expecting to see daddy, so then they cry & are terrors as they are mad they can't see daddy... they are too young to understand

Sending thoughts for everyone.


A little news on my grandpa...
They found a grapefruit size tumor in his colon not too long ago. He was finally stable enough that they doctors felt it was okay to do surgery. They started at 10:30 this morning and I called a few moments ago and they said they were just stitching up. They said he had a 50/50 chance of making it through and so far, he's made it.


I really appreciate everyone who's kept our family in your thoughts.

Wow, keeping my fingers crossed for him!

Kay, big prayers for your granpa. He'll probably be pretty groggy for the first few hours, but once he starts to heal I bet he'll feel better with a tumour that large being GONE. wow

Hugs and good thoughts your way.

molucass, thinking of you.

king...I hope Cindy has a legal person to report the visiting idiocy to; any chance of people at work doing a bit of a fundraiser and/or taking her kids for a weekend so she gets a break? Does she have her own family nearby?

Prayers for all that need them.

Not sure, I'll bring it up

Prayers for my best friend Irene, please...that she gains the will to quit smoking.

She's gone a day or two on her own without cigs, but is back at it in no time. She wishes there were treatment centres for smokers like there are for other addicts - but there aren't.

It's where she KNOWS she should...she knows she is hooked but can't admit it deep inside (you know, the hitting bottom part). But she said all that to me...she knows she HAS to but doesn't WANT to, you know?

She has peripheral artery disease(runs in family); has had two heart attacks, one abdominal arterial bypass with another coming up in the next month or so; and Type 2 diabetes.

She is 43 years old.

Addictions can go very deep.

Please pray that she gets the WILL to stop.

I have a big one, but I've seen PT prayers work miracles. My father and my brother had a construction business that has just closed. They owe staggering amounts of money to their creditors, which they definitely do not have. The calls and letters have escalated. The business owns a building which, if it would sell, would provide the funds to settle many of the debts. The real estate market stinks to say the least. So, everyone, could you pray that someone would want to buy the building.

I have GOOD NEWS- a potential buyer came to look at the building yesterday and came back today - so we are hoping. Please pray that either this might be "the one" or the financial situation might ease up somehow.

Well, there's an offer. It's not the offer we wanted, but it's an offer. The bad news is all the fees and taxes that will be owed. Grrrrrr!

Update to the update. Because of zoning issues, the transaction needs to past first the Planning and Zoning Commission and then the full city council. It's in a residential neighborhood but the business was there before the zoning ordinance took effect. Please keep praying.

The P&Z commissioner came in and took a look around. There's nothing that isn't fixable. The buyer is still interested. Thank you for your prayers about that.

On another note ... On Monday night I slipped on a wet wooden porch step and gave myself a right distal tibia fracture. (That round bump you have on the inside of your ankle, that's where it's broken.) So I have a short leg cast and crutches for a minimum of three weeks. Grrrrrrr! Just call me Cassie's gimpy mom. Crutches are *no fun*!

So sorry to hear of all your troubles. Life sure can test us, sometimes. Keep your chin up and your eyes on the road

Mine is a request to make the pain go away.

Just an update for those that have been following.

Papa/grandpa has been home for about a week. He is not doing well at all and I think these will be our final days with him. His body was rejecting the feeding tube again.

They quit giving him medications, quit the feeding tube, quit the fecal tubes (diapers from now on,) and basically it's just a matter of time. They are giving him pain meds to make sure he is comfortable and at peace. I imagine he'll be gone within the next couple days and honestly, I am ready. He needs to go, it's his time. He's not getting any better and has no quality of life.


Please think of him and wish him peace, and for my grandmother, who has been slowing losing her husband of 53 years.


{{HUGS}} to you all and please remember to tell your family and friends you love them.
