I had to run by the Burzynski Clinic today, to pick up some Xeloda to “hold me over” until the Rx comes in the mail. $347 for 9 pills! Dang!!
Anyway – while I was there, I met another gal who is also battling breast cancer. We got in the elevator at the same time, going down to the parking lot to leave. I noticed her port-a-cath scar, and the device which was pushing against her skin. I could relate.
I greeted her with a “Port-a-cath” Sistah! Yes, she is a Warrior, also fighting.
I asked her if her port-a-cath bothered her, as mine is always tender, and hurts regularly. I’ve been afraid that something is wrong, though when it’s used, the medical staff say everything is ok. She told me that yes, hers hurts her also. Her Mother, also a Survivor, had no problems with her own, so it the fact that hers hurt was a concern for her as it is for me and mine. (My Mom never had chemo, so never had a port).
Her name is Phyllis and she seemed like such a sweet person. We talked briefly, exchanged stories and she told me that she was scared.
Just like that, it popped out – “I’m Scared.”
Me too, I”m scared. I Am So Very Scared.
Cancer is a Scary disease. And as we fight, the outcome is unknown.
Yes, I am scared too… very scared. But I Truly believe that Burzynski is the path to follow.
We hugged for support and strength, kindred spirits in this terrible battle. We are Warrior Sisters.
I gave her my card, with my email and this website info
I hope she comes here, hope she leaves updates and comments…
Phyllis – you are in my Prayers and Hopes for Recovery!! Anyone who is praying for me, Please Include Phyllis!
