P.S. I Love You

Lead On, Joanie, Lead on!

Jessica- It is very evident from your posts that you are a very caring daughter. Your proactiveness will help your mother tremendously. And you're getting through the toughest part now. It's not easy, but it gets better. Many have been through this and emerged to continue on with their lives. Keep doing what you're doing. There will be plenty of tears and fears, but stay strong and she will prevail. Good luck!

Dennis- My wife got the same diagnosis the day before Cheryl did. I really feel for you. So sorry.

"Samba Pa Ti"- so beautiful and so sad. Our condolences. Kim & Bev

Fantastic! That is good news. Keep it going!

Wow! I can't wait to get home and get to work!

This must be so distressing for you, Kasey. It's a terrible thing, this disease. We're hoping she will prevail over this. One thing for sure, having an Aunt Kasey in your corner can only bode well. Kim & Bev

Sorry for all you are going through, but you've found a good place here. Many here have gotten the same diagnosis/ prognosis and turned things around. It sounds like your wife has the strength to endure the effects of the treatments. The treatments do work. One of the mottoes of this site is "Reject Statistics"! I hope you can get some breathing room and perservere. Don't give up. There is definitely hope. The people here will give it to you.

Dear Eppie- We are saddened to hear this. Our condolences to you and your family. Kim & Bev

Hi, Beckie Welcome to a great support site. Your post had me riveted. The love in your family is very evident and well expressed. I think it is one of several things in your favor. It's a tough time getting through treatments, but it sounds like there is reason for a lot of hope with your Mother. Here's to better days,

Karen & Rich- Our condolences to you. It's good that you were there for him.

3 years is good news, for sure! We hope for many more. Your perserverance and resolve are inspiring for many. Hope to see you posting in this forum again soon.

I second that emotion!

Donna- We are so sorry to hear of your loss. It's good that you were there for him. I'm sure your love helped him leave the pain behind.

Welcome, Kris- Small Cell responds well to chemo. It's a tough battle, but doable. My wife and many others are surviving it.

I'm not sure if I dreamt this, but apparently there's a new movie coming out called Thank You For Smoking. It seems to be a comedy about cigarettes. Anyone else see the commercial or was it just a nightmare?

Thomas & Malou- Attitude is a great weapon. I hope it continues to lead you to victory.

Wow! Nothing like being welcomed by some of the big guns. Thanks! I'll be talking with you.

Greetings! My name is Kim. I am Bev from Long Island's husband. I love this site! I've been reading daily for a year now. I've learned a lot. Not only about LC, but also about living. To all of you on the front lines of this war, you have my utmost respect. I now know what courage really is. Bev showed me, too. Many of your stories I've followed closely. And I've cried a lot, too, over what you/we go through. And the survivors are awesome! There is hope. That's what this site can inspire. You are all very important to the spiritual and mental aspects of this battle. You make a difference in people's lives. Thank you!

Hi, all! I've been reading daily for a year now and I thought this would be a great time to jump in!Right into the frying pan! Ginny, Connie, JC, Stand4Hope... all of you. I read you all every day. Every time you post you're taking a stand against Lung Cancer. You all make this site a godsend. As far as I can see, grieving is a major part of this disease and this is one of the few places someone can go to deal with it. The tone of this thread just threw me. You are all so important to me and many others. Please don't anybody throw in the towel! You're kicking around an idea. It has merit. Well, back to the shadows...maybe.
