This always happened to me whenever I left a job. It's like if you don't work there anymore, then you can't be friends anymore or something. Even when I didn't have cancer and it is even worse now, since I've had it. People (friends,family,neighbors,associates) have all really let me down in some way or another. I don't buy the excuse that they don't know what to do, I really think that they just don't really care enough to think of something-anything. I think selfishness comes into play with them also. A simple phone call, a card, just let you know they are thinking of you. It's not that hard, as far as I am concerned. I am still very hurt and angry over all the let-downs & constant disappointments. Some days I don't feel so angry and hurt and some days I do. Hope this helps in letting you know you are not alone and it has helped me also. Thanks, Patty

You do what you think will be best for you, Lilly. I am thinking for me that I don't want one until I absolutely have to have one. I have (hopefully) just one more 6 days of chemo and the nurses will leave the stent in for the week for the chemos that are consecutive-daily. Suppose it would be best, to get the port though, if my veins ever got real terribly bad. The best to you. Patty

Just a quick update, as I have to leave for yet another appt and CT Scan. I will be starting radiation & chemo on Monday. Radiation is EVERYDAY for 6 or 7 weeks and then chemo will be for 6 days...a month off...then 6 days again. I will be having Platinol & VP16. Any advice or experiences with any of this, would be appreciated. This is all different treatment than before. It is the same kind of cancer as before...nsclc/squamous cell/localized, but not in my lungs, in the space between my lungs, mainly behind my esophagus. My oncology tells me to get it back this way was very unusual, but that's good because I could still be CURED or at least put it into remission for good!!! Anyways, thanks again for all of your support and would appreciate some more advice if anyone can give me any. Patty

Just wanted to let you all know that the "spot" is, in fact, cancer.
Meeting with the Lung Cancer Spec. in Indianapolis tomorrow to hear my options etc.
I am not doing very well with this news right now and will let you know more later.

Roll Call...

Don't think anyone misses me too much but I am still kicking. Been back & forth coming to the boards, always sad to find about the never-ending, inevitable deaths everytime I come back. Trying to fight major depression among other problems. Had my last chemo/radiation treatment in fall of 2006, for that "suspicious spot" no one seemed too concerned about. Staged from 1B in 2005 to III in 2006. Been very bitter/angry about things. Lucky too I guess. Still have a whole 15% chance of being cured. Better than nothing, though, right? Tried to make my life better by doing some psyhological and diabetic treatments for a few months. Both of which failed and left me feeling both mentally and physically worse. Took time to recover from that, but am still getting all the help I can right now from a little less & different medicationing & another new psychologist. I am better, try to enjoy life the best I can, whatever I can, whenever I can, but still waiting for the crash again.
Thanks for listening, Patty
