Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 http://www.raceforthecure.com/ I may be doing the race this year in my area. My grandmother had been breast cancer free for over 30 years after having gone through a radical mastectomy and hysterectomy, but once again, after all that time, longer than I have been alive, she is fighting for her life in a battle against breast cancer .... *Hugs* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 And you may ask why someone as into alternative medicine (and NOT into conventional medicine) as I am would even bother thinking of doing a race that only promotes research toward conventional cures for cancer .. because (in a very true, not nasty way) my Grandmother, as many folks, would rather die than try something " non-conventional " in the medical arena, so I hope we can find a conventional cure, or ANY cure for that matter! *Hugs* Chris (list mom) > http://www.raceforthecure.com/ > > I may be doing the race this year in my area.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 hey Chris Sorry to hear about your G.mother's battle. Sure hope she wins. And you are right, a cure is a cure. Unfortunately more money is pumped into conventional than vice-versa. But with cancer, if they can find a cure, who CARES if it's conventional, just so long as it works. Hope YOU are doing well. As for me, I'm off to change my shirt. The belly catches EVERYTHING! The Belly looks disgusting! Cheers!

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Hi Kathleen Thanks so much for the rooting for my Grandma !!!! .. I will be In NYC again *groan* to see her very soon (Actually I was supposed to have been there already, and I'd have been coming home that infamous Tuesday if plans worked out, thank heavens timing did NOT work out, huh?) > The Belly looks disgusting! The Belly is beautiful now as a baby is in it .. BUT ... AFTER you've had that baby the belly is disgusting (*LOL* Ask me how I know - 2 yrs later *Grinz and Hugs Mama* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com > > Cheers! > Kathleen Petrides > SmeLLeNNiuM: 101 Aromatic Stories > http://www.101aromas.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 I will be In NYC again > *groan* to see her very soon Just to clarify ... The *groan* was about going back to NYC, not seeing Granny I moved out of NYC in 1996 after being a lifelong resident, for several reasons, one of which actually did happened on Sept 11th ;( Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Hey Chris, I should have clarified. The belly itself is huge and glorious. I'd rival the moon in size, and that's the truth. Although after already having 3, I would NEVER want to show it off! LOLOL It's the SHIRT! that is disgusting. I look like I've been feeding a family of pigs off it! >sigh< Hope the trip (when you DO go) will be relatively painfree. You can count on LONG lines. I listened to some expert on Airport security last night. HE said, that airports STILL haven't learned their lessons. They are still flying off with suitcases that are not attached to people. Suitcases are STILL being picked up at the curb and going straight on the plane without being x-rayed etc. They ARE taking precautions, like taking away disposable razors from carry on luggage (AS IF!), but he said that, THAT is no deterant from someone hell bent on trouble... He said the airline's should arm ALL pilots and make the cockpit inaccessable from the cabin etc... Sorry...not exactly the sort of thing one want's to hear when thinking about flying is it? I'll shut up and go back in my hobbit hole ;-) Hugs Kathleen Petrides SmeLLeNNiuM: 101 Aromatic Stories http://www.101aromas.com - " Chris Ziegler " <chrisziggy1 Friday, September 21, 2001 5:13 PM Re: Race For The Cure > Hi Kathleen > > Thanks so much for the rooting for my Grandma !!!! ..

Yup, Thank you so much! My grandma is actually happier to know why she has been feeling awful for the past few months than she is upset she has cancer again! She feels and sounds good (compared to how she has been!) .. she'll just have less hair to perm, so I'll have to bring her a really cool looking curly wig when I visit .. maybe I'll get her one in each hair color .. blonde, brunette and auburn, so she can be any hair colored woman she is the mood to be any day she wants She is 77 .. and doesn't seem at all ready to go to " the great beyond " yet .... so thanks for the prayers and well wishes all The devout Catholic she is really appreciates them I am sending her some holy water from the well of Mother Mary in Ephesus Turkey .. for anyone interested .. lore has it that St. John brought Jesus' Mother, Mary, to Ephesus Turkey to live out her last days. The water from her well there is considered sacred and reputedly linked to various miraculous occurrences .... > > Hugs, > > Marilyn *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Hi Chris, My heart goes out to you for your grandmother... cancer's a hard thing.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Hi again Chris, I can understand that... it's sometimes easier to cope with the " known " than it is the " unknown " in being sick, and worrying what in heck's wrong with you. Great idea on the wigs - she'll love that! It's important to keep the spirits up........ Our prayers will be with you and your Grandmother... and prayers work (it's been true for us anyways)......miracles happen daily........and your visit will do a LOT for her emotionally - Grandma's are so special........
