I spent most of today in a Vicodin hazed denial waiting for my oncologist to call. And she did. And it’s bone mets. In my sternum, my ribs and my spine. I am devastated. I am angry. I am frightened. And I guess I’m going to need more hats.
Throws Like A Girl
Welcome to my blog about knitting, Mommyhood, music and life after cancer.

throwslikeagirl74The knitting style I primarily use is called throwing. :) Thus, Throws Like A Girl.

I am sorry sorry to hear this, Nicole. I will keep praying for you and sending good vibes your way. I’d like to make a hat for you; any requests?

For you, my friend, I will learn to knit. And I will cook. And I will clean. And I will take my niece and nephew on Aunt Lindsay adventures. And I will pray for healing. And I am here for you to talk to, lean on or whatever you or J need. Just say the word . . . I will call you tomorrow!

I am so sorry to hear about your mets diagnosis. I have been living with bone mets for over 2 years so I understand the depth of your fear and your sadness. It is overwhelming in the beginning but you come to a place that I wouldn’t call “acceptance” but I would call “ability to deal with this”.
Bone mets is treatable and is now referred to as a chronic condition. Those last 2 words have become my mantra.
One foot in front of the other.
If you want to talk to me more, let me know.

I know that words are feeble, but the woman I know is strong, and will fight. You are amazing, and will overcome this, too.

I am so sorry to hear this, I was praying for a different diagnosis. It appears that my sister is about a year ahead of you on this journey, it sounds so familiar. She is doing very well, she had a bone biopsy and miraculously the pain in her chest went away and hasn’t come back. I will be helping Lindsay make you and your family meals and let me know if there is anything else you need.

Well this is bullshit! I’m angry and frightened too. And so so sorry, Nicole. Words cannot nearly convey. I am here whenever you want someone to listen and hear you. I love you and definitely tell me if you want or need ANYTHING.

I’ve been thinking about you all day, I am so very sad, I feel your anger and hurt and I wish there was something that I could say or do to take the pain away. I’m sending you one of my very special cyber hugs, filled with love. xxx.

Oh man, I am on vacation for two months and I come home and this is the first post I see. I am SO sorry. I wish there were anything practical I could do (like bring you some meals or chocolate, or REALLY BIG BOOTS). The only kind of hats I know how to knit are the toasty wool arctic winter type we wear here…I suppose one of those wouldn’t do you a whole lot of good huh. Not much of anywhere gets as cold as here. I make them to look like the northern lights though. If that would be a cheery sort of something, by all means, drop me an email and I’ll make you your own personalized aurora borealis hat KNIT UNDER THE FRAKKIN AURORA BOREALIS north of the arctic circle. It’s either that or seal oil, and the seal oil smells reeeeallly bad.
