Hi Maria, I felt so sorry for you when you were in pain, we’re not used to seeing you like that but this is the reality of battling cancer so it’s important that you show this, I was pleased to be see your pain meds were adjusted and you felt better while having chemo. You’re getting a pro at pronouncing the medication names 😂👏👏. I’m really happy for you going to the beach and Harley can go, she is beautiful by the way, she sounds like she’s really tuned into you with the way she whined while you were explaining your pain, Dogs are such great companions. Enjoy your vacation on the beach, sending lots of love from the uk 🇬🇧 xx

It was the oddest thing. It only started after the new chemo, so I’m taking it as a positive sign!

Still rooting for you all the way from UK 🇬🇧.

Oh Maria... i am so sorry for the pain you had to endure,but glad that you have switched to new pain meds. Harvey sure is a sweetheart,and he is going on "his own little adventure" seeing the ocean for the first time!(lol) The room with a beautiful view seem absolutely perfect ~ and a nice bonus that you still have warm temps, so doing small walks or sitting on the beach watching the waves and birds etc together with your loved ones sounds peaceful and calming for the soul.

Embrace the sea its a gift for you this trip and also for Harley...

I'm glad you are doing better, my grandmother lived 10 plus years with ovarian cancer and went into remission a couple times so it is possible. I pray for you that the new chemo works for you and that you will become cancer free.

I just found you. I live in MA and I realized you were close to me when you mentioned Milford Hospital. I am wishing you the best in your cancer journey and praying that you get well .

Hi, Maria. I mentioned a couple of videos ago that I have several autoimmune diseases that I only recently received diagnoses for: Sjogren's, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and spondylitis. I've had the PsA and spondylitis for decades. This has resulted in 3 back surgeries and 32 years of unremitting back pain. I see you. I know the waking in the middle of the night because of the pain. It even invades my dreams. I know waiting 45 minutes for the pain pill to kick in and at least take the edge off. I know that feeling of just wanting to crawl out of my own skin. The pain is exquisite. Sjogren's attacks the moisture producing glands in the body. Most notable the ones for our eyes and mouths. But it also causes our skin to be unbelievably dry and only something a cancer patient would understand. I personally use 100% lanolin, cocoa butter and jojoba oil for my really dry skin. I currently take a low dose of a cancer medication to suppress my immune system and while I am not losing my hair, it is thinning. I don't understand chemo. I don't understand a cancer diagnosis and the fear that comes with it. But I do get you in so many ways. So my fellow warrior, we've got this. Sending you love.❤🤗

Hi Maria! On the pain I have a suggestion. Palliative care isn’t just for dying people anymore. A nurse can come to you whenever and wherever you need emergency pain management. You look great. I love Harley. The beach trip sounds fantastic. Have a great time. Isn’t it funny how you can get used to leisure if you have to? Prayer, love, and hugs, Mary

OMG! I’m so sorry! You need to go to the ER when you are this bad. You need your strength. Hate to see you in such pain. I went to the hospital six times and didn’t regret it. Drove myself as my husband had to work. Don’t be a hero. When you are doing hard chemo it just sucks. There is no getting around it. I never was a pill taker before cancer. When I finished, I had a bathroom full of pills. If I needed it, I took it. And I didn’t get hooked, and now just Tylenol. Damn, the CA-125, let’s hope the new chemo kicks it’s butt! Thinking of you and sending bundles of good wishes!
