Hello Courageous-
You beautiful words made my day…..and it is great to hear from you as well. You’re truly a sweetheart and inspiration. It’s been a rough year for a lot of us.
Love and prayers to you and your wonderful family.
Ron
Sharon, thanks again for leaving a great comment.
I hope you’re having a wonderful day.
Hugs, Sonja
Thank you Sharon for leaving such sweet comments on my blog. I’m never sure if my blogs are appropriate but as Poppye says “I yam what I yam” I happy that you like them.
Yes, I remember sending kids to camp. They always did better than I did. I hope it went well for both of you.
Hugs, sonja
Oh dear Sharon,
We are not alone, and I am sitting here with a face splitting smile thinking of you and the flood of warmth you must be feeling as “peace” settles over you. Continue to own in as these next 142 hours pass in a blur of happy thoughts and treasured moments.
My love to you,
Larissa
Absolutely keep you posted! Hope all is well your way! :)
Hey Sharon:
I just saw your note from last night. I managed to stay up until around 8:30 then just got up a midnight to give myself the shot and back to bed. I’m dragging today, it’s rained all day and is a good day to be inside. I’ll miss you next week but not the chemo.
I’ve got a lot to get done this weekend getting ready for KY. Hope ya’ll have a good week also and I’ll call you when I get back.
Take care.
Teresa
Sharon:
Sorry I didn’t call you tonight. You won’t believe this but when I got home around 3:30, I laid down with all of my clothes on and didn’t wake up fully until after 9:00 this evening! Guess I really was tired. I’m getting ready to go back to bed, just took my shot, and hope I can get back to sleep. If not, I’ll just read some.
Thanks again so very much for keeping me company. You really make my trips down there so much fun. I hope ya’ll get to use the card from mom this weekend. I’ve got a hankering for Italian, maybe Macaroni Grill, and I’ll ask them to go easy on the salt!
Take care and I’ll call you later in the week.

Thanks for the comment on my page…Hope you’re doing well these days. (((healing hugs and vibes)))Gwen
Sharon:
How was your weekend? Hope you are rested and had some fun. I’m getting ready to watch the Oscars…don’t know why as I haven’t seen any of the movies…guess I love the gowns.
I’m slowly feeling better. The antibiotics are finally beginning to work and I’m not in as much pain. Actually slept through the night and didn’t have to take any pain meds. Now I’m just tired and plan on staying in most of tomorrow and rest.
Still need to work on my schedule next week. I’ll send Terri the B**ch an e-mail tonight addressing the problem.
Getting excited about Kentucky…going to look up flights tomorrow etc. I always miss the bluegrass in the spring.
Take care and know that you are my angel here on earth!
Hugs
Teresa
Hey Sweetie! Hope you are well. Glad you won the lock. So glad tomorrow if Friday. It was a long week for me, but looking forward to the weekend.
Thank you Sharon and I most definately will let you know as soon as I possibly can.:)
Sharron:
I’m so very sorry about your oldest son. I do think of the suffering children often and have had the hardest time reconciling a child’s death. I’m glad you feel his presence with you every day and do believe the mother bond does transcend death. We are always mothers first and foremost.
I look forward to seeing you next week.
Teresa
Well I was doing great, busy, not keeping my schdule uncovered on the fridge so I had to see it every day. They emailed me on Wednesday and called this morning. Mamo, blood, and oncologist visit on the 20th. Please say a prayer or ten.
Love yall,
Sharron
Thanks for responding and I’m glad to hear all is well and you’re busy. Sounds like all is back to normal again.
I’m doing great…our weather (except for today) has been awesome, lite breeze and very warm for almost 10 days. Storms are a coming next week starting Sunday evening. Here’s a link to our local newspaper on-line. http://www.signonsandiego.com/
Hugs,
Ron
Happy New Year and I hope you have a wonderful healthy 2010.
Love and big hugs,
Ron
Dearest Sharon,
It brought unexpected tears to my eyes to see that you too were offered the joy of life this holiday season. Although cancer is, and will always be a part of who we are..it feels good to take back the life it once consummed. May you continue to make memories, and enjoy moments of peace!
Love you back,
Larissa
Hello Courageous one….
I just read a few blogs and notes and was thinking about you….......I pray you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
Love and hugs my dear friend
Ron
Hello Courageous,
Thank you for your warm and kind words. I always enjoy hearing from you.
Cheryl’s a super lady and much like you a silent fighter (doesn’t complain) who doesn’t know the word, Quit…........she will continue to fight and inspire others until the end….....
Stay in touch my friend,
Ron
Oh Sharon,
Not awake!! Yikes, I hate it when that happens. You are a brave girl. I have told my doctor that after all the fun he has had he owes me lunch…lol. He assured me after the total colectomy he would never have to venture south again..he fibbed as even the “pouch” needs to be looked at. But the bonus, NO PREP. yay for the up side of that! Take care sweet lady and know..today is the best day of your life!
Loves to you,
Larissa
Oh Sharon…I feel for our kids to have that feeling hanging over their heads. I just continue to pray a blanket of peace over them all so they can live life to the fullest and know that they are safe. There has to be a good reason for all this and I intend to involve God in some good conversation the minute I get in the gates. Between that conversation and the why “free will” talk he may leave me on this earth for awhile. :) Be blessed today!
Larissa
Sharon,
Thank you..my youngest is 17 1/2, my eldest 22 and my son 19. I am blessed to have them although I had to make them take those pics so I would have them for my trip to NY. You would not know that they hate photo sessions by looking at them. lol.
It is always nice to be reminded that we are never alone in any aspect of this journey. :) Thanks.
Sharron,
I think about you often, and when I care about someone I remember the little things as well as the important ones.
Thank you for the update. Great news, no sign of cancer. I pray you don’t need anymore follow-ups in the wound care center.
Love and big hugs,
Ron
Sharron-
Did you receive the PM I sent on September 30, 2009 at 8:30:18 AM ?
Ron
Hi Sharon,
I have those “mystery spots” as well but in the liver. They biopsy them every time they do a surgery for they look so ominous on scans. Always benign and lets keep it that way. :D Enjoy your day!
Dear Sharon,
Yes, the Potty Police nurse,,,,you will wet the bed before they get there, and their need to measure the pee just kills me. I still have hang ups about them wanting to see everything that comes out of me…shudder. I think we can all relate to that and laugh!! :)
Sharron,
Thanks for your comments, but my question is . “HOW ARE YOU??” I believe this month is your anniversary of being cancer free for 5 yrs? Right? (My anni. is Sept, 9 yrs.) Also how did your surgery go with covering the 2 holes in your breast? Were the drs. able to help you? We never found out what happened? I’m just hoping that no news is good news. Everyday something new come out to help us all. We just have to find it. If they didn’t help you let us know. I’m sure we can all put our thoughts together & maybe help you out. Hugs & much love goes out to you, Sandy
Hello courageous one,
Just thinking about you and thought I say Hey!, how are you doing?
Hugs,
Ron
Sharron,
Just curious, did you receive my private message the other day? I know there have been some problems with the PM’s.
Ron
Hi Sharron,
I’m sorry we didn’t meet sooner because by now you would have a different log-in name. “simplysharron” doesn’t cut it. I was thinking something along the lines of, Courageous sharron, or, I’ll show them sharron, simply, just doesn’t apply to someone like you, who has demonstrated the will to fight and survive this dreaded decease for as long as you have. Especially when you were told no, you won’t survive and you did just that. Survive.
Thank you for the kinds words on my profile. It appears we’re cut from the same mold and I’m impressed with your posts during your horrendous journey. I salute you and congratulate you on your 5 years cancer free.
I pray your up-coming surgery goes well and they’re able to locate the holes they prepare to close after all this time.
Love and prayers Courageous one!
Ron
Sharon:
THanks for your comment…yes I know that MDA can easily become a cancermill for people but I’ve been lucky getting Dr. Kamat…she is so kind and positive. I need that after my doctor here in Austin. THough he tried…he just isn’t able to handle me not being having success with the standard treatment. He kind of makes me feel like it’s my fault!
You are an example of what I can do and I just hope I find the right treatment there.
How is your boy? Is he still playing the viola?
Love and hugs to you girl
Teresa
Sharron,
Thanks for your comment, but you said something about your mother-in-law having lymphoma??? It that lymphedema?? They sound sooo much alike, but one is a type of cancer & the other is the after effects of cancer. (or that’s what they told me).I have lymphedema & my blogs (fat lady 1 & 2) where about it. Is that what she has?? It is such a pain in the ### but in my case it is a pain in my arm! There might be something we could do for each other??? What works & what DOESN’T!! Just a thought. Thanks again for your support. Sandy
Sharon,
How are you now? We haven’t heard from you since
the last of Jan. How did your biopsy go?? I really hope it was good.
Your 5 yrs are down to 4 months. Wish I could say time flies when you are having fun, but we both know, life with the big “C” is NEVER fun
From a worried friend, Sandy
Sharon:
Thanks for your comments on my blog. So your boy plays the Viola? How wonderful. I love the string instruments and think it is just great that he is enjoying it as well(I have a piano degree). It is something that he can carry with him (literally) throughout his life. Yes, I’m really cherishing my good days with my girl. Maggie is such a joy and so like me in many ways that our closeness is sometimes scary. Keep on loving him and doing normal…that’s the best slap in the face we can do to this cancer!
Hugs
Teresa
Sharron,After I read your blogs, I came back to the start.. your BIO. It sounds so much like my life, except for the age.(which we don’t talk about haha)Really it seems you had more problems than I did, but we both had some doozies for dr & nurses? I will be 70 yrs young in Aug, but I feel like I’m in my 30’s or 40’s.(at heart). Only time I really feel OLD is when I look in the mirror & see this white haired ole gal look back at me!! If she’s only 30, she had 30 ROUGH & tuff yrs.hahaha I had 39 rad. treatments & 6 months of chemo. I still have all??? my teeth, but they seem to be ready to go under my pillow! (wonder at this age if the tooth fairy will still visit??)
My luck, she will leave a BILL. hahaha It does seem that all the treatments I was given are coming back to wage war with my body. I keep waving the white flag, but no one seems to care.
e-mail me if you have ??? Sorry but we seem to be on the same page in life, just I have you by about 20 years. my e-m is
