holy moly, they are GORGEOUS. wow, such pretty girls! I can't believe how big Caroline is, compared to when I first signed on.

um...no.

my mom got a CT scan every 3 months. I remember thinking it was a long time to wait after her surgery, but that's what they did. now it's every 6 months. like the others have said, I would definitely insist on a CT scan versus a chest xray. good luck!

I just wanted to chime in and congratulate you for being such a great advocate for your husband. we had to 'demand' a few tests ourselves, even after my mom's diagnosis was clear, and were always vindicated in doing so. for example, 3 weeks after her surgery, her breathing took a turn for the worse. the on-call doc told me it was par for the course post-op but I took her in anyway, and sure enough she had a blood clot in her remaining lung. so you just keep going with your gut, and keep the faith.

I love what Sharyn said - that maybe Keith is giving you signs in the form of new people in your life, a new job that takes you a little further from the outer trappings of acute grief, etc.
I have no experience that comes close to yours, but you sound pretty OK to me, girl. pretty amazing, actually.

you know? I like them all. I just love Christmas lights. for the tree at my mom's, I prefer multicolored lights. this year we'll have room for our own tree! yippee!

sorry to hear you have another diagnosis to deal with. LC was my mom's second cancer, too, and she had many of your feelings. hang in there, sounds like the LC is early on and treatment should be a breeze for a toughie like you. xo

you've gotten great advice already, but I wanted to chime in. read as much as you can/want to, but make sure you ignore the prognoses alot of the literature gives. also, I'm not sure why you're 'assuming satge IV', but never lose hope. mom is stage III3b, and cancer free 7 years after diagnosis. not without alot of difficult treatment, but cancer free and living her life. bring a pen. don't be afraid to call after the appointment if there are questions you forgot. we found it very helpful to make friends with the head nurse in mom's onc.'s office. it's hard to get the doc on the phone but the nurse always takes our calls and has answers for us.
hang in there, and best to all of you.

grateful for my husband, married a year tomorrow. grateful for my new apartment and its fancy new kitchen. I have a dishwasher! grateful that my little boy's first fever came and went without anything more eventful than that. grateful for my friend Pat (see above). my god speaks through her so often.

how fun!

white meat. actually I prefer the stuffing, so I put just enough turkey on my plate to justify enough stuffing to feed a small army. last year I was pregnant and couldn't have any of the stuffing (cooked in the bird, risk of raw turkey juices, etc. etc.) so I plan to make up for it this year.

next to the word trouper in the dictionary, Connie, is your pretty face. prayers for healing and strength, as always.

welcome, Maggi and husband. just to give you some hope, my mom's NSCLC came back after a couple years' worth of clear scans and she is now cancer-free again. it was definitely scarier to have it come back, versus the 1st time (which was scary enough, lord knows!) hang in there, and keep us posted.

I am so sorry.

Jackie, I'll assume you mean more pictures and not more babies.
my husband is only 11 months older than his younger brother so I am under some pressure from the Irish inlaws, but I need a little more, er, recovery time.
-
meh, high time I learned.
-
it is so important to get it all off your chest. 'roller coaster' is exactly how I always describe the experience of LC, for the survivor and the caregiver, as well. I'm sorry the news is so mixed for you guys, but hang in there.

my husband is Irish, he would especially love your shirts. xo

you came to the right place. your positive attitude will serve you well. keep us posted, and god bless.

well, I finally got off my behind and figured out how to do this myself instead of asking others. I posted a few in Ann's GTKY today, but "just for fun" and for picture-posting practice, here's Levi's first successful back-to-front roll (a few weeks ago, now), amazingly caught on film by a proud mom.

wow, I literally woke up with the urge to send him a PM this morning, which I did right before I sw this post. now I know why. prayers, as always, for Rich.
-
well, I am getting very predictable...but I also finally learned how to post these here, instead of always asking Katie or Val...so these photos, in various places in my office, are my favorite things I can see from where I am sitting now.
