Bill's Five-Year Survival Story Updated April 1, 2010
fillise replied to Barb73's topic in SHARE YOUR LUNG CANCER STORY
Barb--may you and Bill feel the love we have for you and may it help to extend the positive in each day. Love always, Susan -
Maryanne, I'm so sorry--for everything--the loss of your friend and the fact that so much time was wasted that she never got a chance to fight her disease. Please accept my condolences. Susan
-
Bonnie, I'm so sorry. I hope it brings comfort to know that your husband is free of this disease even as you grieve for him. Susan
-
Lynnie, Thank you for sharing the story of your dad's fight and the last month of his life. What a truly special man and family. My heart is aching for your loss. Susan

Question about Antibiotics While on Hospice
fillise replied to Barb73's topic in CAREGIVER RESOURCE CENTER
barb--I agree that you should be able to make the argument that this is comfort care. From what I have been able to tell these types of rules are set by the care service and not any sort of hospice regulations. Susan -
Bonnie, I'm so sorry to hear the news of your husband's recurrance and your sister's Dx. I'd ask about Tarceva. My mom was doing poorly last fall after flunking her third course of chemo and her Dr. put her on Tarceva. The difference is startling. Mom is back to her old self and is very active. It is worth asking about. Are you bringing in hospice to help? I understand they can offer a great deal of support and assistance. Susan

Ned--so sorry to hear about the troubles with the Navelbine, but glad to hear that you seem to be back on track. You know we need you around here. It's just not the same without your wisdom and generous help to anyone with a question. Susan

Gemma, You are in the right place to ask for help. We will share our knowledge with you in any way we can. As importantly, we will be here to support you and your husband. I hope it is NOT LC--but if it is we will be here for you. Susan

I am so sorry for your loss. Susan

Mom's Journey--Updated--Celebrated her 80th Birthday!
fillise replied to fillise's topic in SHARE YOUR LUNG CANCER STORY
I updated Mom's timeline in the main post to note her 80th berthday celebration. -
My mom was 76 when she was diagnosed with stage IV LC in January of 2007. Needless to say, at that time we never thought she's make 78 or 79 much less 80, but on Thursday we celebrated her 80th birthday! She is feeling good and looking great. She has more energy than she has had in a long time. The Tarceva has done wonders for her. Susan

Wooo HOOO!!! You go girlfriend! Susan
-
I think that's a GREAT reason to celebrate a second birthday. I'm so glad you were in the hospital when that happened and that you are now home and recuperating. Susan

Thanks Stephanie!!!!

Bill's Five-Year Survival Story Updated April 1, 2010
fillise replied to Barb73's topic in SHARE YOUR LUNG CANCER STORY
Barb, I've never been a big fan of Valentine's Day, but reading your posts to Michelle and me yesterday was the most powerful testament to love I have ever read. There's a reason Bill's heart is strong--it is so filled with love--his love for you and yours for him. Add my love to that. I love you both. Susan -

Hi Barb--just wanted to let you know that you and Bill remain in my prayers. Susan -
Michelle--congratulations on the job! Baby steps, girlfriend, baby steps. Take it one day at a time and you will get there! Susan
-
Happy Birthday Judy--hey every birthday around here is a cause fo celebration! Susan
-
Michelle--you are still a wife and mother, but just not in the same way. Transitions can be so scary, but they can also be an opportunity. It's good that you are thinking about the furture, but it's still very early in your grief process. Maybe now is your opportunity to find out who you are besides wife and mother--those roles are defined by others. How do you want to define yourself? Susan

Barb, You are Bill's best therapy. Eating your cooking and having you too look out for him has to be wonderful. I hope you have help when you need it. it sounds like you have some family to help out. I wish I was nearby so I could drop by with a pot of soup or to offer to stay with Bill while you go to movie or just have a little time to breathe. You and Bill are both so precious to this community. Susan
