Yesterday I had my check up and was able to FINALLY meet a friend ( a women close to my age) also in the same clinical study as I am in for Sutent. We've become email/facebook friends and have shared our fears and intimate stories with one another. We both started with cervical cancer. I hardly know her...but I know everything about her too. She's wonderful and a great source of support and has a wonderful spirit. Anyways, yesterday she found out that her tumor is worse and that is the cause of the constant pain she has been in. I can't pretend and say that I am not horrified. She is so beautiful and full of life and spunk. She isn't allowed to continue on the drug we were both on and is about to start radiation and standard chemo. I told her that it was time to pull on her combat boots and kick some cancer butt! But I think that positive energy and prayer can really help too. Can everyone include Cheryl in their thoughts please? Thank you.
