I was born in Crowley,Lousiana; lived in New Orleans while I was a toddler, and have many relatives in that area.I LOVE New Orleans and those people. Lousiana has the most warm, heart giving people in the world. They deserve our prayers. God bless them all,Nancy C

Addie--best of luck, lots of love and prayers for your week.Hang in there kiddo! Love,Nancy C

So glad you posted. Been worried about you. Have a great trip. Take care. God bless,Nancy C

That quote was so real. It happens in front of your eyes and all you can do is watch. It is terrible. I feel for you. God bless you, Nancy C

I also tend to interrupt when someone is talking too. I always have too much to say!! God bless,Nancy C

I can so relate to you. I am a R.N. also, and it killed me inside to have my husband be the "dying" patient. It rips a hole in your heart--no one can heal. You watch daily as things slowly stop functioning and he is slipping away..... I pray for you and him both. My heart is so heavy for you. You have a wonderful way with words--esp so darn early in the morning!!! I don't have the words, or wisdom to guide you. I can tell you I think I know how you feel--because I have gone thru this. But each of us handles things differently. Kiss him,love him and tell him God is forgiving and he's going to heaven. I am crying right now for your pain, his pain and the pain all the cancer patients and families have to suffer. This is not fair--bless you dear wonderful lady. God bless,Nancy C

Lil, first I want to say--I'm so proud you haven't smoked in 10 days--how wonderful You are a strong person. And, my heart aches for you and your hurt, and emptiness. It is so hard to lose your soulmate. I know how you feel. I, also, find in the evening looking at the beautiful skies and sunsets--I become emotional. I think of Mike and how much I miss him. And of all the sunsets we will not share. I try to remain positive but at this point in my life, I'm not. Right now, it is hard to be happy. I wish you the best, and continued healing. I am praying for you. God bless,Nancy C

Oh my God Val, she is so pretty I can't wait to hold her when you come to the QC. Can I kiss her cheeks--she's beautiful! God bless,Nancy C

Ann, I have not had any dreams about Mike yet.But I think it should give you comfort knowing Dennis is happy. And he is watching you! We can only hope and pray that maybe it was sign from your loved one??God bless, NancyC

Oh my gosh, you have been through alot. You hang in there and get better. God bless, Nancy C

Dee,please get back on line soon. We will miss you. Take care, Nancy C

Do not give up--you can fight this. Hang in there. It's ok to cry! God bless, Nancy C

I just love this site!!

She's a beautiful girl and smart!!

Dixie, I responded earlier to your smoking issue. My husband smoked and continued to smoke for 19 months after his diagnosis and died. I do not smoke, never have and never will. THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME A BETTER PERSON I feel you are being very rude to the cancer patients on this site. If you would take time to read each person's hx--you will find it says if they are, were, or were not a smoker. These patients along with family members come to this site daily for encouragement and support. This has been a piece of heaven for me(a cargiver) while my husband was so ill. We do not need someone who is so narrow minded and judgmental. We care about each other here. I could care less who smokes or not. If they are going thru the cancer journey as a patient or caregiver--I want to help them. We are a family of people who all have been on this roller coaster ride. How can you write that stuff to lung cancer patients who are going thru treatment and suffering? How can you be so uncaring about people's feelings???I do pray you are able to treat your poor loved one with alittle more respect and love than you have shown here to cancer patients. I am ashamed of you.

Praying and hoping the best for Dean. Comfort and love from his family.God bless,Nancy C

Peggy, we are all glad you're back. Let us hold you up for awhile. Check in with us so we know you are o.k. We missed you greatly. God bless,Nancy C

Thank God there is a plan now and you both can move forward and tackle this demon. My prayers are with you. God bless,Nancy C

Don't give up hope. Cancer is cancer and you have fight-fight-fight. My husband's oncologist always told us" cancer is rarely cured in many cases, and is very difficult to treat--but treat is what we'll do" So go get the treatment Many people live many long lives with cancer. God bless,NancyC

I understand, Val, we have to think about our loves ones and some days just feel very sad. That's ok--but make up for it the next day--and live life to the fullest. God bless,Nancy C

I agree with all of the above responses. Val, you have put it so well. Smoking is an addicition. My husband smoked and it was hard to see him NOT try to quit after being diagnosed with Lung cancer. But, I was not going to harp on him and add more stress to what he already was going thru. He is gone now, and he knew I wanted him to quit. But, he knew it would be his decision--not mine. So--don't waste your time making your relationship with him rocky over smoking. Give him love; he is addicted to nicotine. It is very difficult to quit. I don't smoke but I saw the pain in my husband's eyes when he was so very ill(two weeks before his death) and he he had to have that cigarette. Coughing and hacking, having to remove his oxygen to smoke. How terrible of life is that?? Be kind and understanding. God bless, Nancy C

I wear my Lance Armstrong yellow bracelet--never go without it--since the month Mike was diagnosed with cancer--Oct 2003. I have bought many and handed them out to family members and newly diagnosed cancer patients that I know. Mike had his on when he was buried. He believed in Lance Armstrong and was an inspiration to him. God bless,Nancy C

You know you're a LCSC member--when you walk your daughter down the isle(after being in the hospital near death)--and your wife shows you how many wonderful people posted on site cheering you on. This brought tears to Mike's eyes. He knew I was always on the site--giving him updates about people and their cancer fights. When the picture of him and Nicole was on the site--he couldn't speak. His eyes filled up with tears. He did truely know all about all of you wonderful people. Thank you. God bless, Nancy C

I am sorry. Cancer affects us in so many different areas of our lives. Thinking of you. God bless,Nancy C

I am thinking of you. Take care. God bless,Nancy C
