Mama’s first PIC line.
I’m home from the hospital now and resting, with this thing still in my arm. More later.

Toddler Planet 
Hoping for and thinking of you. At these times, it sucks to not be a prayer. If I prayed, it would be for you.
Hugs
Ouch. Hope it is more comfortable than it looks! Thinking of you.
Owie ow ow. Prayers and hugs to you and a big ole middle finger to the cancer!
Ouch. I hope you feel better soon.
Thinking of you, Susan.
ouch indeed. love to you, Susan.
Hope you feel better soon !
Love You ,
Take Care
Hope you know how many people were thinking about you these past days…..
Hugs (but not too tight),

Big hugs – I hope this means that you are over your Streph infection at least.
Oh (wo)man! ouchie. healing wishes your way…
Sending lots of love and hugs and all my best to you and your family.
I haven’t posted before but I have been following your fight for sometime (from UK). I just wanted to say you are such an inspiration Susan and I feel your strength and determination. My own mother had inflammatory breast cancer 14 years ago and suffered a very delayed diagnosis (told she didn’t have a lump and sent away to take evening primrose oil) and it really makes me angry that there are still not significant improvements in the UK around information / awareness about this disease. Well done on the campaigning. I have drawn so much strength from your writing – it has helped me fight my own battle with triple negative breast cancer and the implications as a mother (I have 6 year old twins).
You have really made a difference to my life and many other women, I’m sure. You are an amazing woman. Ill be thinking of you and wishing you healing and strength. Take care of yourself.
Oh, thank you! Notes like this mean the world to me. So often I wonder if I’m just over here complaining to my little corner of the web, and I don’t want to bother you guys — but if it’s still helping, I will keep writing!
Good luck in your fight — I’ll send this via email as well. It’s not easy, is it?
Prayers! Thinking of all of you!
ouch!!!! 😦 I hope you are feeling better today!

Thanks everyone, for the good wishes and the prayers! I’m up and about again, but really annoyed by this line hanging out of me!
