    A Slap in the Face

    in CAREGIVER RESOURCE CENTER

    Posted

    Jen, reading what you wrote, felt like it was coming from me, outa my head, just like everyone else here. It's crazy, isn't it? To think it'll never be the same again. I remember six years ago, when mom was diagnosed, I'd go to sleep thinking of my mom and this monster, wake up and feel normal for about three seconds, only to actually almost feel a literal slap in the face when it all came flooding back to me. What an ill terrible feeling it was.

    Katie, everything you said too, so very true.

    ztweb, I have the same type of past as you, so this is like a big shocker to most people! lol But I've wanted it for years, took the time to pray about it, and now feel good about it. It's been well thought out and planned. :)

    I say go for it! My husband keeps telling me the same thing, about how bad it's going to hurt. I told him (like you), 'I've been through NATURAL childbirth, THREE times, I can handle it!' :P

    I think the top of the foot would also be cool. My sis would like to get a sea turtle there.

    How cool that you're going with friends who are getting one too! I have one friend that may go with me, we'll see.

    I guess this is the right forum for this. lol

    I'll be getting my first tattoo soon. I've decided on a dragonfly with the word "hope" written over it.

    My Oma (mom's mom) loves the dragonfly and has even told me to get it and think of her when she's gone. (Also, it's on all that cool stuff Katie has in the cafe press shop for lung cancer awareness.) And the word Hope, of course, is for our hope being in the Lord, also that there is always hope, even after a cancer diagnosis.

    oh yea! It'll be on the inside of my left ankle. :)

    Just wanted to share. Feel free to share your own tattoo stories. :)

    Thanks Katie!

    Thank you all for the prayers!

    Mom's ENT cancelled her appt for today and made it for next Thursday. Another whole week to sit and wonder, but also, more time to pray! :)

    ((hugs))

    riddle

    in JUST FOR FUN

    Posted

    IF you've already seen this, sorry! But I just got it and thought it was too funny to not share!! :)

    Can you solve this riddle??

    You are on a horse, galloping at a constant

    speed.

    On your right side is a sharp drop-off,

    and on your left side is an elephant

    traveling at the same speed as you.

    Directly in front of you is a galloping

    kangaroo, and your horse is unable to

    overtake it.

    Behind you is a lion running at the same

    speed as you and the Kangaroo.

    What must you do to safely get out of this

    highly dangerous situation?

    If you do not know, the answer will follow...

    GET YOUR DRUNK *ss OFF THE MERRY-GO-ROUND !

    I posted an update in the test results/updates forum, but I felt the need to post here as well.

    Mom has had a hoarse voice now for about 3 or so weeks. The doc scheduled an appt with the ENT for thurday. Please keep her in your prayers that they don't find anything and this is just allergies.

    She gets a PET next month.

    Thanks for all your support.

    ((hugs)) and prayers for you all,

    Christy

    Update on Mom *update 8-17*

    I've talked to Katie a little about the situation, figured I'd go ahead and post.

    Mom hasn't felt 'good' in a long time. She just keeps going strong though, having us over, going shopping with us, you know, everything she's always done. She has to get up every morning and take something for pain, usually advil helps, she's just achey all over and so tired. She's been on three antibiotics in the past couple of months for a sinus infection. Well, about three weeks ago or so her voice got hoarse and has remained so. Her new pcp gave her some flonase and said if it was allergies it should help. (they just recently moved back here, out in the country, dirt road, lots of pasture to mow, so lots of allergens.) Well, it didn't really help. She saw her onc. on friday, who is concerned about the hoarseness and has made her an appt with the ENT for this thursday. I guess they'll do a scope and check things out. (there's no sign of the sinus inf. any more, which is good, and the lung xrays haven't changed any in months, which is also good.)

    Her recurrance (a year ago Jan.) was never found in the lungs, no tumors, but in her lymph nodes.

    They've also scheduled a PT scan for next month to chek out the nodes.

    Please keep her in your prayers.

    I'll update when I know more.

    So, I'm replying to a post, and it gets me wonderin'...

    We've used rogfam for every handle since we got a computer years ago! Our last name being Rogers, it stands for rogers family. :)

    As for a real nickname, my sister, being younger than me, couldn't say Christy, she said kiki, so my dad called me Kiki for the longest.

    When I worked at the preschool for a little while, Payton, who was two, called Miss Titi :D , and she called the other lady I helped, who's name was Karla, Miss Caca! :D

    Recurrence survival

    in GENERAL

    My mom has nsclc and had it came back in Jan of '05. She had basically a year of treatment, from Jan to Jan and scans look good. (mostly radiation, which was very dangerous because the radiation point overlapped where she had radiation last time.) It's now July, so it's been a year and a half. She's very run down, battling sinus infections all the time, but she's so upbeat and positive. Her recurrance only showed lymph involvment, no tumors to speak of. So, I don't know how much they can really tell from just a ct scan...

    So, yes, there is HOPE. You can beat this!

    God is always faithful, no matter what.

    God bless,

    Christy
