Just wanted to let everyone know that the results of my scans show that my breast cancer has metastasized to my bones. As soon as he got the results, my oncologist put me on medication to block the hormone receptors since my cancer is hormone positive, which means it "feeds" on hormones. Hopefully, the medication will keep the hormones from getting to the cancer and keep the tumors from growing. Right now we're both cautiously hopeful that the medication will be effective and I'll be around for a few more years anyway. I'm also keeping in mind that there are many fine researchers working on new cancer therapies and there may be something even more effective just around the corner. In short, I'm staying positive and hopeful and as long as I have the love of my family and friends and the support of my wonderful medical team, I'll stay that way.
Started working on my march bjp and I'm thinking there might be some herringbone flowers...haven't done off loom work in a while, but the new issue of B&B is tempting me!

Oh, Bobbi. What can I say? I'm so sorry to hear about the results of your scan. Prayers and positive thoughts are winging their way to you as I write this. Your attitude has a lot to do with your general well being. Please know we are all here for you.

Damit! I am so sad and sorry to hear this news. Your creative spirit and energy are so strong and positive, Bobbi- you are inspiring! Thank-you for sharing this news, my thoughts are with you.
I am so sorry about your scan results.
I am the daughter of a breast cancer survivor and a cancer survivor myself.
There are lots of reasons to be hopeful; the president just lifted restriction of federal funding for stem cell research--one of the key areas of cancer research and treatment that got stymied when Bush cut funding.
Hang in there; I know you are surrounded by wonderful people.
And better more effective treatments are not far off, as you write in this post, too.
Sending lots of light and love your way,

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayer.

I'm so glad to hear that they can give you something to stop the hormones from feeding the cancer - it's amazing what the medical community is capable of these days!
I'm looking forward to seeing your beaded flowers - herringbone is one of my favourite off-looming weaving techniques!
I'm toasting your medical team and your amazing positive attitude!
Cheers, Denise
Trying to focus on the good news - your wonderful medical team, Obama's lifting of stem cell ban, current progress in cancer treatment research, the fact that it was caught apparently before it was untreatable and more than anything else, your hopeful and positive approach... as in... on to herringbone flowers and cancer get out of the way. Thank you for telling us, Bobbi... you have a whole world of prayers surrounding you now.
Bobbi, I'm one in that number praying for you and sending best wishes that this medicine will do just what it is intended to do to protect you.

Count me among those praying for you & sending you healing, positive thoughts.
Much love and hope is being sent your way, dear Bobbi. And I just know that beading will do much to lift your spirits and keep you positive. Can't keep a creative soul down, right? Besides, I know you have so much more to tell the world through your art . . .

Bobbi, I am not good with words --- but I am very well practiced in praying -- and you, dear friend, are in my prayers. Love and thoughts are with you.
Well, forgive me, but OH Crap! I'm glad you feel you have a wonderful medical team; your faith in them will go a long way. I'll add my faith and prayers to those of all the rest of your friends and maybe this will turn out to be just a blip on the screen of your life. Onward! There's beading to be done, gosh darn it!

Damn it! It's the first thing that comes to mind - sorry.
Bobbi, I haven't been around to the blogs I love much lately, but I'm glad I made it here today. I'm very sorry to hear the cancer had metastasized to your bones, but am inspired by your positive and hopeful thoughts. I'll gather mine directly and send as much positive energy I can muster your way as well as keep you in my thoughts and prayers for nothing but good results.
As always - I'm looking forward to seeing what you've come up with for your March BJP.
Hugs,

My deepest gratitude to everyone who has commented here...I feel as though I'm sitting in a whole globe of white light...healing energy and good wishes...thank you...thank you...thank you...
You are a woman that is deeply loved and admired, Bobbi! Your positive and hopeful attitude is everything. And, you are right...the love of family and friends, the support of your medical team, your amazing will and strength... will see you through.
Sending healing thoughts your way everyday. You know I'm agnostic, but my three favorite words are...
*FAITH* *HOPE* *LOVE*...keep them in your heart!!!
Peace and love...Lisa
Dear Bobbi, I am so sorry to hear of your cancer. I hope that as we move into spring your treatment and all the prayers and love being sent to you will have a positive effect.
Hugs, Susan
I haven't been by for a while since I couldn't see too well for a time. I am so sorry to hear about your scan results. I sure hope the hormone therapy works for you. It's rather amazing to see the advances in treatment today and one step leads to another so there is always the hope something new will come up at any time. I will add you to my pray wall. Wishing you the best of luck.
I am sorry to hear this, Bobby. I send you lots of love and good vibes.
I also send healing light and hope. I get such joy from your work and your process. We share-- I think-- the hermitage blog as a source of wonder.
All the best possibilities are flowing to you right now from me and all the others who wish you strength and remission.
Bobbi, Life has been getting in the way of my getting around to all the blogs, but I'm glad I stopped in now. I want to add my best to the stream of good Karma coming your way; I will be thinking of you.

I wish you the best, and I send prayers and strong thoughs.
