<p>I like the 80% response rate stat, so let’s see your medical team show us their mettle now on your behalf. And it is time for you to also mainline anything and everything that you love and that makes you feel grounded and safe…I want you to really nest and to be someplace that makes you feel good if you must be in this stepped up treatment chemo program.</p>
<p>My Duke son is in the ER, just got one of “those” dreaded phone calls…but he is way OK, on his feet and there mainly as a precaution baseline look over…multi-car accident in the major city where he has his first real (summer before senior year) job --where I left him with some trepidation last week all set to go. Doesn’t appear to be anyone seriously hurt, thank heavens-- but some left in an ambulance. He was not at fault and he is well.
LTS, I admire your holding back about your next chemo round and news a few days till your daughter feels her youth and health returning…poor kid! My son just asked me what I was mad about (from my tone of voice) and I said, “I’m guess I am scared, that is all.”</p>
<p>LTS, you are a great mom. Your D should be very proud of you, and I’m sure she is. Keep on fighting, the battle is not over yet! You’ll get that @%&* b@stard cancer. Oh, I’m so mad now I want to stand in the middle of the room and yell “F**k cancer!” I’m glad to hear that your doctor wants to be very aggressive - 80% is a great chance. Have a good night sleep, LTS. You are in my prayers.</p>
<p>Awww shoot. (OK I was thinking something else but it won’t print without a bunch of *******'s)</p>
<p>Well there was that rather annoying song a few years back. It went something like “I get knocked down, I get up again, your never goona keep me down…I get knocked down, I get up again, your never gonnna keep me down…” over and over. Artist was Chumbawumba??? Well now it is a rather annoying cancer; so, pick yourself up and go in tomorrow for a new round of treatment. 80% response is 80%.</p>
<p>And please please please get out of that wet basement apartment. ASAP. With four chemo agents, you can’t afford to be exposed to the moisture and the mold. Maybe get your treatment tomorrow and treat yourself to a long weekend in a nice hotel.</p>
<p>Kick its butt, LTS.</p>
<p>(Your spandrels’ designs head to the contractor a month from Sunday, and then they’ll start in on building 'em soon after… I’ll post pics when I start doing sitework.)</p>
<p>LTS even though I don’t post often I must tell you I think of you and your daughter every day. Me in my small little town and leading my simple life I truely keep both of you in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you in this difficult journey and I hope the thoughts of strangers is in some small way a comfort to you.</p>
<p>Faline…all of us parents can relate to your worry to get a call about your son. Thankfully, it sounds like he will be OK. I know as a mom, the worry LTS has had that her D was ill. It’s the hardest part of being a parent. I’m sorry for all those worries you just had and that LTS just had. Enough of these! </p>
<p>LTS…one more thing…get some friends over with you this week for support through the treatments and some pampering! That’s an order! :D</p>
<p>soozie…we well remember your girl and her hard won recovery…(some of us have been here a while.)…as I remember LTS from way back when, too. My son is back in his apt and OK. </p>
<p>peace to all.</p>
<p>Wishing you well today, LTS on your tests. “80% response” sounds promising. I am hoping for you to get that “B.” </p>
<p>Strength and best wishes for you today.</p>
<p>I’m so sorry to hear about the scans. {{HUG}}</p>
<p>Your CC community is standing strong with you — please let us know if we can do anything.</p>
<p>and another</p>
<p>(LTS: This could be your daughter someday.)</p>

<p>LTS, as p3t referenced above, we’d very much like to see a “B” from you. And I would NEVER say that to one of my kids. 
Prayers and strong healing thoughts are with you.</p>
<p>Thoughts are with you LTS, and thankfully, the weather forecast for Washington, DC this weekend is sunny and bright.</p>
<p>As always, thought and prayers for peace and healing.</p>
<p>…a vast army of cyber soldiers in flesh and blood stands as one across the world and raises its voice in prayer for the healing of Latetoschool. Do not underestimate the power of prayer. Invision us as you sit for your chemo treatment, LTS. We are a loud and strong presence and stand by you.</p>
<p>LTS- So sorry to hear about the setback, but 80% are very encouraging odds!! and we all have no doubt you are the one who will beat all the odds. So very relieved that your D is on the mend. ( Don’t wait too long to share this next phase of treatment with her) The strength you get from each other is essential for both of you.</p>
<p>Wishing all positive energy and prayers.</p>
<p>My thoughts will be with you.</p>
<p>LTS,
We are all sending virtual hugs as you start the new chemo this AM. You were so wise to keep searching for a doctor who would truly share your battle. An 80% response rate sounds encouraging, and I will continue to keep sending healing thoughts and prayers your way as you tackle this latest hurdle.</p>
<p>Glad you hear your D is feeling better and the docs in Miami seem to have things under control.</p>
<p>With a daughter currently running track, CountingDown’s comment brought to my mind a woman in a business suit wearing red heels soaring over the last hurdle in the 100 meter sprint. Laptop flapping along behind, of course!</p>
<p>Thnking of you daily & keeping your family in my prayers.</p>
<p>Sending you thoughts and luck!</p>
