She posted a couple weeks ago on her profile
”I haven’t forgotten about anyone. I’ve just been pretty sick and also focusing on my sister. (family, too!) Chemo is kicking my tail in the worst way. I’m seeing a new doctor next week, I really would like to improve my odds!”
I am not connected to her on Facebook, though, so maybe there’s something more recent that someone can tell us about…
There have not been any Facebook updates for quite some time, which is rather troubling to me.
Let’s keep her in our hearts and in our minds.
I haven’t heard from her.
Sure hope she’s okay! ):
I am hoping she and her sister are on the mend. I will be orange as long as it takes to see our cak back!
I sent a query to Avvooooooo a couple of days ago because I thought she was staying in touch with Chris, but I haven’t heard back. That concerned me too.
I myself have been wondering about her health… That woman’s seriously gotten me thinking for her for some reason…
I believe something happened to her sister, but I can’t remember…I do hope she and her sister are okay.
@casheroo Her sister was in a bad car accident and was in intensive care.
@jmah and hearkat – Thanks for posting the question and the info. I keep looking for her posts….and wondering how she’s doing.
@all: I sent her a note on Facebook on Monday and have heard nothing back.
Dear dear Chris: The Fluther family is collectively wondering whether there is news, or what we might do to help. Radio black-out has us alarmed. OTOH, don’t waste any energy on us if you need it for yourself. Love, Gailcalled

Not a peep. Also concerned.
I just signed on, it’s been a rough couple of weeks. I can’t sleep – bone pain. I’m not staying on, but I haven’t forgotten about anyone. I’ll talk to you all soon.
@cak Oh cak it’s good to hear from you! So glad to just see your words. (((hugs)))
Thank you so much Cak!
Take your time healing!
We are all thinking of you, Cak. Hugs from me, as well.
thank-you
Glad to see you’re still alive and kicking cak. =)
We have all been worrying about you. Great to hear from you, but sorry for the bone pain.
Thank you Cak. Great to hear from you.
so glad to hear from ya Chris!
@cak: Thanks for checking in… best wishes to you and your sister.
So nice to see that giraffe.
Take good care of yourself.
Hugs and best wishes Chris. Thanks for checking in.
So good to see you @cak! You are on my mind often. Take care of yourself and don’t worry about us. We know you’ll return when you are ready.
@cak…Good to see you here, honey. I have people asking me about you. Hang in there & come back to us when you can.
@cak thank you for taking a moment to check in. Lots of love and prayers are coming your way!
@Jeruba Sorry for the long time responding, bathroom renovation means less computer time. Hitting my left index finger with hammer while removing drywall exponentially reduced my desire to type. Better now, but still not great!
@cak What’s everyone for Halloween this year? And how was “Where the Wild Things Are?”
Thatnks so much for posting @cak, and letting us know you’re okay! (:
Praer abounds for you my friend @cak !
@cak Love you and stay strong. If we could each take a little of your pain or give you a little of our strength, we would. Since we can’t please accept our thoughts and our love.
Yes- I have been thinking about CAK too. Hoping the pain is leaving for good.
Halloween Pengy sends love to you Cak.
Cak made an appearance on Facebook last night. She said that while she was awake she would enter the land of the living. :-)
An update on Facebook.
Cak:
Dealing with a lot of things lately – health (crappy), family (a bit frayed by the stress) and knowing the holidays are around the corner and dad is no longer here. However, there is a silver lining, I’m eating cheesecake.
Cheesecake makes everything better!
The wonder of Cheesecake!!! YES!
Cheesecake all around! Who among us could not use some?
@cak I am willing to show solidarity anytime by eating cheesecake with you!
I’m going to buy a cheesecake with strawberry topping when my husband gets home from work.
I’d make one but I’m much too lazy for that today!
Looking forward to your return @cak. We miss you!
AWESOME!!!! Cheesecake party in CAK’s honor!!!!
I’m there. @cak, I love you enough to eat cheesecake for you.
Cheesecake is one of my all-time great weaknesses.
I’,m making my cheesecake with pastry crust for you, Chris!
A Facebook update from 8:40PM on Nov. 9 “Has realized that it is entirely possible to fry one’s brain on all the cancer drugs. I’m leaving post-it notes everywhere to remind myself where I am, who I am and what I need to be doing.”
Huh. I have to do the same thing with the Post-It notes, and I haven’t ever had chemo. However, I do live with teenagers.
Any update now at the first weekend in December?
Yesterday she posted on Facebook:
Chris Anne Why, oh why is my son ADDING to his Christmas List? My daughter asks for one thing – and it’s big. The boy wants little things…and lots of ‘em. I have a feeling I’m going to be in a Nerf War soon.
Thanks so much for reminding me to look! The update made my day!
Yesterday at 9:44 PM she posted:
“To chemo or not to chemo….that is the question. Hmmmm…got a lot of thinking to do.”
As of yesterday, she has decided to not do any more chemo. She’s going to go through the holidays to enjoy them (and her family!) and then start looking at experimental treatments.
Chris,
May your Holidays be wonderful, heartwarming and pain-free.
Does anyone have any more updates on cak? It’ll be nice to know, especially during the Christmas period.
Last 2 facebook status updates:
“Do you smell the fumes coming from my head? Do you see them?? My camera…my pictures…G-O-N-E…GONE. Someone stole my camera. :( So many good pictures are now gone. I was going to upload them tonight…figures.December 16 at 5:32pm ”
“Holy cow. My kids convinced me to take the dogs to see “Santa Paws” – I must be insane. The smaller of the two growled, the entire time. I guess she’s getting a lump of coal! The big, not-so-bright one…she almost peed on Santa Paw’s foot. Only my dingy dogs.” December 15 at 2:56pm
@Judi Thanks for posting those.
Yep. I heard from her…wait, I am CAK!
I was in the hospital for an extended stay. Pretty touch and go for a little while there, but I’m home again and hanging in there. Yes, the cancer is still there and yes it has spread. The doctors aren’t encouraging, but then again, I was “dying within days” in late January and early February and guess what..I’m still kicking!
@cak It is so wonderful to see you back here Chris! My heart, as always, is with you.
Thanks, to both of you! It’s good to be here!
You always put a smile on my face @cak. So happy to see you here!
Hi Cak! It’s so good to hear from you. Keep on truckin’.
Hi, everyone! I’m glad to see you guys, too!
Hi Cak! It is so wonderful to hear from you!
I am sooo stoked you checked in!!!!
Awesome!!!
Great to hear from you- you made my night :)
Welcome back! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
♥
It’s so good to see you here, CAK! We all miss you so much!
I’ve missed you guys! It’s sucked being too sick to even feel like using the laptop. I hate being out-of-touch with life. GRRRR!
It’s @cak all over fluther. It feels like the old days.
@tinyfaery Actually we are back to normal now!
Let’s rock Fluther!
I don’t know how much I can rock tonight, meds kicking in and I’m starting to see double!
You made my night, @cak! =)
are you kidding? You guys made my night! I’ll see you guys soon – love the new picture!
When you get a chance check out the new chat :D
Tears of joy to see you here. I was so worried and very discouraged when I kept checking your facebook page and no news.
Lurve to you and continued prayer!
Nice to see you back after so long, cak. I hope you are well and best wishes to you always.
@cak! You’re back! Welcome, welcome, welcome back! It has not been the same without you.
Great to see you again!!!
CAKCAKCAKCAKCAKCAKCAK so good to see you here.
much love.
SOOO glad to see you here! (((((((HUGS!)))))))
wow, I’d love to see how happy you were if I showered and returned from my absence…all in the same day? I did shower today! :)
Doesn’t the first shower feel great after being in the hospital?
@Judi – That is such a freeing experience. My shower, my stuff, my towels, my robe and my bed to fall into! Just a wonderful thing.
@cak As my Dad used to tell me, “Keep enjoying all the good stuff.” So glad to see your posts.
@janbb – Your Dad had it right, and I’m very happy to be posting. :)
There is nothing like a good shower. At home.
Your strength is an inspiration, @cak! Bless you.
The sensual pleasure of a shower when you are feeling the need cannot be matched. I am so happy that you are home again.
@cak: Welcome back! You’ve been missed, and it is Sooooo nice to see you here again!
Welcome back, @cak!!!!! <3
So Freaking Happy!!! Thanks for checking in, girlie!
