Peggi is my name

I just realized I joined a year ago, but never introduced myself.  I've been battling lung cancer for 3 yrs. now.  I had the initial surgery where 2 lobes were removed along with 13 lymph nodes from my neck. For an unknown reason, my vocal cord was knicked in the process and I can hardly talk.  I've had 4 throat surgeries with no success.  Cancer has come back twice; the latest in 12/14.  Went through 33 radiation treatments + chemo; when it came back again, I had 5 cyber knife radiation treatments and am continuing with Avastin infusions every 3 wks. and I take a daily chemo pill.  The reason I'm telling you all this, is in case someone has a question I might be able to help with, let me know.

I also want to run this by:  I feel incredibly selfish in asking, but is anyone aware of a resource that I might get a waterbed donated?  I don't have a bed.  With my 5 types of arthritis, a waterbed would help tremendously.  I own nothing of any value and have no money after I pay my rent.  I am very much blessed; God has given me everything I need which is what keeps me going. God bless you all. :-P

Hi Peggy    Boy you really are waging the battle!    I sleep on an air mattress which helps me a lot with "left over"  chest pain from

my treatment.  Is that what you want ?  Do you really mean a mattress full of water? 

Do you attend a church ?  Do they know you need help?  I don't know of a specific charity right now.

Glad you told your story.  I am sure you will help someone else with It.   Keep us posted on what you find.

Hi Peggi,

Thank you for introducing yourself. We are glad you to have you as someone who can help us with advice. As for the waterbed, I would ask a family member to start a GoFundMe page for you and ask friends and family to help donate towards that investment. Please keep us posted.
