Hi Linda, I had the same thing. I couldn't decribe it, but it is from the chemo. Mine went away in about a day or two if I remember correctly. I just drank alot of water. Sorry I can't offer anymore help. This to will pass. Good luck. Mare

Pam, I am so sorry for your lost. You and yours will be in my prayers. Take care and good luck to you. Mare

Hi Jen, I know it's frusting when bad weather messes things up. Like you said, you know it's not the end of the worid, but you just wanted everyone together, as you should. Good luck and I hope people will be able to make it. I'm from Philly, and in the past I have been in a similiar situation. Mare

Oh TAnn I am so upset. Prayers are definitely coming your way. Hopefully the radiation will ease the pain. Take care and good luck. Love ya, Mare

Wow Ginnie, I think at one time or another we have all been there. Believe it or not,as time goes by and your still clean it will help. It will always be in the back of your mind. You have to talk to someone and learn to relax alittle more. Feeling out of control is not a fun thing. Been there. Good luck and take care.

Got scared for a moment. I can deal w/computer problems, but not Cindi problems. Hope it gets straighten out, it is very frustating. Love, Mare

Larry, Iam so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family. Mare

Yes, January was a bad month. Prayers for you and Mike. Hoping things turn around for Mike. Take care. Mare

Hi! Try not to panic. It could be an infection also. Keep us posted. We're here if you need us. Mare

My friend Flicka was on Saturday mornings when I was a kid.

I had surgery. I wanted it out. It wasn't a hard decision for me. Take your time and get a second opinion like Ry said. Michigan has great facilities. Good luck and take care, your so fortunate to have caught it so early. Many aren't that lucky. Mare

I want snow. I'm also tired of the gray miserable misty cold rain. Let it snow.

Your to funny. Hopefully it will be a great game. Cold but good. Go Pittsburgh. Philly fixed the yellow, green light thing. They put camera's at the dangerous intersections and it actually works! Tickets and money talk. Mare

Jen, I ditto what Connie said. Just from being around cancer and having family die from it. It seems to be fast, but it probably wasn't. I have seen people talking and laughing and within a day or two be gone. Addie was very special and will be greatly missed. Mare

Way to go Heather, congrats! Love, Mare

Welcome Trish, Sorry you had to come here, but great place for info. and support. The waiting for the other shoe to drop is the most difficult for me too. It will be less and less in your mind if your test results remain good, but it will always be there to a degree, if that makes any sense. It's the new normal and you do learn to live with it. Not like we have a choice. Take care and good luck to you. Your very lucky to have good employers. Mare

Hey Cindi, I'm in the bathroom all the time. I just thought it was me. What is up with this, and do you know what it is from? I have a comode next to my bed, because I wake up at least 3 times a night and I know I'll never make the bathroom. Is this a side effect from what?????? My bladder has never been the best and had it lifted in 89, at the time it was from having kids. But what does cancer, chemo or whatever have to do with it??? Boy, am I glad I read this post. What's up w/ that??? Love, Mare

Praying for you Fay. My whole family including myself had that, so called crud, over the holiday's. Two of my grandchildren devolped pneumonia. Not fun. Good luck and take care. Love, Mare

I feel the same as Snowflake. Much more diagnosising , but also more cures. Take care. Mare

I posted afew days ago about my friend w/ the two different types of NSLC. The first surgery she had right top lobe was removed, now she has to have bottom left lobe removed. Does anyone had two lobes one in each lung gone? How comprised will her breathing be? Thanks, Mare

Yes, I have been watching and enjoying. The skating w/ the stars is also good. Master P is gone. Gave him alot of credit for having the guts to do it. Boston legal is so sad. It's showing the personal life of a stageIV LC patient. Denny Crane! Mare

Amy thanks for posting. To say the least is that I hate this disease. Prayers to both families. Take care. Love, Mare

Val, Plese don't be so hard on yourself. Grieving is so different for everyone. I heard or read somewhere the average time is two yrs. What ever the heck average is. My dad has been gone for six yrs. and sometimes is seems like yesterday to me. I can't belive he's been gone so long. Please take one day at a time. That's all you can do. Good luck and take care. Love, Mare

Cindy, so sorry to hear. Prayers to your entire family. Love, Mare

Thanks for letting us know Don. Prayers to her family and friends. Love, Mare
