    Scared to Post Responses...

    Missy - I can understand if it is too soon or too painful for you to post at this time, but PLEASE do not think you need to hide your mom's story. When I stumbled across this site I was so happy to find people going through the same thing and I was eager to read the stories of everyone, including those who beat the disease and those who did not. I learned not to listen to statistics, and that everyone's case is different and I learned to appreciate the time we have because nobody knows how long that is.

    You have a way with words and a way with people. I think any words of advice you have to share will only inspire or encourage newbies.

    And your mom was a 15 year cervical cancer survivor AND then she had to battle the lung cancer beast too??? I think that is inspirational in itself!

    Happy Birthday Kelly! I am so sorry you have to have your first first so soon. The others are right about mom's birthday. It's time for you to carry on the family tradition.

    Brandie - I am so sorry. What should have been the happiest times of your life have been filled with such sorrow. Looks like mom did hold on and make it past the wedding, what a wonderful gift. Hope the marriage holds much more joy than the wedding itself.

    Tears as I read this. I don't know how you feel as my parents are both here, but they are 79 and 81 (and both have health issues) and I know I will be in your shoes sooner rather than later. I know I can't say anything to make you feel better, but I am sorry you are feeling this way. And I think it is normal.

    And don't beat yourself up over the image you are displaying for Sabrina. Sounds to me like you are a great mom. And ALL moms need to make mistakes sometimes and ALL need to grieve when they lose someone special. You will get through this.

    Missy ~ I am so, so sorry to hear this. Please find comfort in knowing she is not in pain anymore (although I know yours has just been amplified). Take care of yourself, your baby needs you.

    Hang in there sweetie! Karen

    The Struggle

    Tears in my eyes as I read this news as well...but I so understand why you need to go. Tears because I hate to see you go and happy tears because I know these people you will be helping will be so lucky to have you on their side. Lucie may be one of God's angels in heaven now, but I think you are one of God's angels still here on earth. You have touched many hearts here and I am sure you will with your new adventure as well. Wishing you the best. Stop in and say 'hi' when you get a chance.

    Update on Bill (Updated June 27th -- last one for this post)

    Hope he is feeling much better soon. My mom's doc explained that the chemo keeps working even after you stop treatment (and mom's tumor continued to shrink after she stopped) and that the radiation greatly amplifies the effect of the chemo. So even though he is not currently receiving chemo, I think his previous treatments are still fighting the beast.

    Hang in there! Karen

    I wonder if I misunderstood???

    I wanted to add also that my mom's tumor never completely disappeared (NSCLC), but her doctors consider her in remission. They say the tumor left over is 'dead' and should pose no threat. Granted I wish it was completely gone, but I am happy with her being in remission. And her tumor was HUGE so I guess it makes sense.

    I totally missed this one too. So sorry to hear this Geri! Bump in the road and I am sure you will have this behind you in no time! I'll be a little more forgiving of all those pink bows now but we had you first so don't think your gonna ditch us and find yourself a Breast Cancer forum! :lol:
