    Judy MI.....thank you. I loved your post. The trials, the tiredness, the sadness, the seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and your amazing spirit. I've always loved

    reading your posts as you do have a particular gift to write.

    I think the best part for me to read was how important listening is. I've never been a great listener in my life, I've been offered an opportunity to listen to people at our local food pantry. The new program is simply call "The Chat Room is Open." The client is interviewed and if they have more they need to share that doesn't really need to be shared with an interviewer regarding food needs they are referred on to me. We go into a small, dimly lit room and I ask "what's going on in your life?" type question. Some just want a prayer, which I'm happy to share. Some just want to unload. This is the only opportunity they have that someone will just sit back and listen to them. They are the elderly, the ones going through cancer treatments, the lonely, the rejected, the ones who have survived, the lost, the believers and their from every walk of life that now need assistance. It's a big difference for some who have had a successful life and now have to ask for help.

    God has put this opportunity in my path and I'm thrilled that I didn't ignore the need. It does me good. Hopefully it will make me a better person.

    God bless you Judy MI, for sharing your wonderful story and getting me to realize mine.

    May 24th will be a day of celebration. Best of luck on the book. What a labor of love it will be.

    It's hard to believe that 4 years have passed since Bill lost the fight to SCLC. So much has happened since he's gone but there has not been a day that he wasn't with me. I truly wouldn't be the woman I am today if it wasn't for him. I'll always love you Bill.

    PCI?

    Bill was diagnosed with Limited SCLC and after his first rounds of chemo and radiation he had the PCI. The most significant thing from this treatment was hair loss. I don't remember any cognitive problems. It is the norm for SCLC and recommended for good reason. Even though he lived only another 16 months after PCI I'm not sure he ever had mets to the brain.

    Still Clear!

    Hi Jen,

    Thanks for the great news. I'm so happy your Dad is one of the survivors of SCLC. It just proves that we shouldn't listen to the Docs who tell us that with SC you only have two years. Many blessings to Dad and all your family. So nice to see your smiling face again. It's been way too long.

    Hello All,

    I've been driving in the Milwaukee and surrounding areas the last few weeks and I have very few complaints, so I'll just say Milwaukee drivers are pretty good. My trip up her from Florida to Wisconsin was overall good. We stayed on the Interstate most of the way and the only holdup was in the Chicago area. The weather was so gorgeous that day we didn't even pay attention to the gridlock. Overall life is good and driving is great. Oh, did I say I love to drive.

    Hope you all have a great day.

    Hi All

    I've been away Judy. Guess I need to catch up. Hope all is OK. I'm in Wisconsin until the end of Sept and only have the Internet once in awhile. The weather here has been glorious. my sister was diagnosed with lymphedema so she started on the treatment this week. it's been quite a learning process. This condition will never go away but hopefully she'll be able to manage it. I'm very grateful I'm here with her for moral support.

    Hope everyone is getting thru these dog days of summer.

    Love, Laurie
