I am truly blessed to have such lovely readers and friends out here. Believe me when I say that each and every post has touched me deeply. You guys are amazing. I know that you all have troubles of your own and yet you have gone out of your way to be so incredibly loving and supportive. I will never forget the love you have shown me here during this dark time in my life. I mean that sincerely. The outpouring here and at Facebook has had me in tears many times over during the past couple of weeks.

For those of you not on my Facebook page, I just received news on my PET Scan, so I will share here as well. They see focal activity in my spleen, liver, and in the T10 section of my spine (very mild on T10). They are on the fence as to whether this is metastatic cancer or inflammation from my body fighting off the cancer in my breasts. They know this type of rare cancer (Epitheloid Angiosarcoma) usually goes to the lungs first. I won't do chemo either way. It's a gray area for now (will repeat PET after surgery). They are trying to get me a rush date for surgery right now because it is visibly spreading on my left breast. We need to get to that first and quickly before it manifests in my lungs. Will keep you posted. Just trying to remain calm here (failing miserably, but doing the best I can). Your love and support has meant more to me than you will ever know.

I was deeply touched to find that you guys began a fund in my honor through the Susan Komen Foundation. All of that money will go to breast cancer research and may help our future generations to beat this thing once and for all. I am going to try and fight this with everything I have, and your prayers and incredible support has given me strength to do just that. ♥

Hey Raven, I don't usually post on these boards. I usually just read them, but when I read what you are going through I couldn't help but cry for you. Keep fighting Raven and don't give up. You are in my prayers.

Just know you are on my mind & in my prayers. If you have a chance to check your Facebook messages, please let me know if the information I sent you is helpful and/or an avenue you may want to explore. As a 12 year survivor of Stage IIc/IIIa BC, I have met a few survivors of inflammatory breast cancer; one woman had 4 recurrences over a 20 year period. There's no reason why you can't be one of the miracles in the small percentage with longevity. Try & keep the faith, and at times when it's too much, know there are so many of us lifting you up & sending you positive energy. As mentioned in my other reply, please don't hesitate if there's anything I can do to help.
