    She's still smoking--Need advice!

    in CAREGIVER RESOURCE CENTER

    Posted

    Please do not be hard on your Mother---I am finally smoke free for 1 and 1/2 years

    but I had cancer in 2000 and quit, went back, quit, went back etc. at least 6 times

    Everyone knows smoking is not a good thing, but also everyone knows no amount of berating or nagging from another person ever does anything to make another quit!!! it has to come from inside!

    Please just love your Mom---you are so lucky to have one!!

    The other shoe has dropped

    It was not mets but a new cancer---I am waiting to hear the same thing about me down the road

    If you are prone to cancer, my Doctor said it will come back sometimes

    I hope you keep the same positive attitude you always did

    my thoughts are with you

    Chemo or not???

    in NSCLC GROUP

    I was stage 1A --all margins clear. Went for two or three opinions, all suggested no chemo as it would cause more harm than good.

    You can ask Dr. West, but their is no indication nor statistics that it increases survival for anyone at stage 1A. I am sure if I searched around, I could have found an onco to do it, but I trusted my doc. Obviously chemo does not stop it from coming back--it just holds it in check. Otherwise chemo would hold all the cancer at any stage.

    I do not feel at stage 1A that it does anything. My feelings at 1A is if it did come back, I needed to save my stamina for the chemo at that point.

    I am still alive ( much to the annoyance of others)

    but get several opinions and read up on stats

    where homeless line up for a sandwich and coffee at church

    most deserve, but i always used to give this homelees guy I saw a dollar a day and ten dollars on weekends. i asked him why he never lined up for the sandwich, --he said Oh I go to the diner and proceeded to pull out a cell phone!!! I could not even afford a cell phone at the time!!!!

    not all like this, granted, but how many are?

    you totally did that!

    i remember back years ago, the sacrifices you did to adopt your dear daughter--but you took responsibility for them . you commuted too!

    but you did it and paid the bill!!!

    sorry just my rant--got my tax bill for school just went up a huge amount!!!! I spent exactly one year in this school system--sorry if I have to do without cable , kids have to do without a school leading a cheering squad and a drivers ed class

    I am 61 and am afraid i will not be able to keep my home

    Commuting is horrible at this age and I just want to cry!!!

    this was all on my OWN!!!!

    I quite honestly think people have to do on their own!!!!

    but many do not

    I happen to be a registered democrat

    but discraceful to me is having multiple kids and having the puplic pick up the tab for them--

    I wanted kids , could never afford them so I did not have them--but I should pay for someone elses choice?

    Everyone should pick up the tab for them self--

    I, for one am tired of working all of these hours to pay for other people

    Insensitive--no--just tired of paying for other people's poor choices I get up at 4:40 a.m. , stand on a freezing cold station platform to go to work, pay 211 for my monthly train ticket, am lucky I get a seat, am lucky if I get home at 7:30 p. m. to pay for others mistakes!!! Please do not call me insensitive--I quite frankly am a liberal turning republican!!!! and no this web site is ok since i have posted off topic and others are posting about topics other than LC

    Thanks

    sorry this is not a rant toward anyone and off topic. I am not a republican but have problems with things going on today. Like who paid for the fertility treatments for the unmarried woman that had octuplets?

    I just believe if you create your actions, you cannot ask for a bailout. I worked two jobs to pay for my house, nor did I get in over my head.

    My feeling is the public should not have to pay for the poor actions/decisions of others

    sorry just my opinion since I am paying a huge amount of taxes

    Worried. . . again

    Good for you!!!

    You quit smoking and now you can do this!!!

    you can!

    everyone needs a little help along the way

    I needed the patch to quit--even if in only my mind!

    I am sure you are aware it is no easy fix, your mind has to be there too and it will be a whole new way of life for you

    just like quitting smoking was
