Hi Steph, Just so no one gets it wrong I thought I should post that yes I do get social security but they will not give me medicare until I have been disabled for at least 2 years. How crazy is that? Good thing is that I still keep SSD for a year if I go back to work. My HR lady is wanting me fired. She has never liked me and would love to find a way to get rid of me. I tried to go back to work with restrictions back in Nov. but she told me there was no work with restrictions but I know if I had been hurt at work there would have been all kinds of work for me just so they will not have to pay workers comp. OH the joys of working for a large company. I went over her head just to pis_ her off and found out what she would not tell me. I only have to work one day a year for me to still get my insurance. I guess because she has a title and office she thinks she can get away with anything. That is awsome you got the kids and the house. I have been a single mom for almost 3 years before I got sick so I learned how to do that before I got sick. If you need some advice on that I am an expert. My ex had the nerve to show up at the hospital after I got sick. What was he thinking? Yea I need his pain in the neck along with lc. lol He was the one who left and yes there still is resentment.

Hello All, Well early today I posted New to you but for some reason Kasey deleted me. HaHa I am a fighter and will not let her get away with that. I think she owes me big time. What do you think? Ok so I will try to remember what I wrote earlier but it will be hard with my chemo brain. Maybe I can even come up with something better to tell you about me. My name is Sherry and I am the 43 year old mother of two daughters age 24 and 19. I also have two wonderful grandsons age 4 and 8 weeks. Gabriel is my angel and knows his maw maw is sick but at 4 doesn't understand why he can't stay with me when ever he wants like he use to. ok so maybe the boy is a little spoiled but I just can't help myself. The one great thing about having cancer is that people I have not seen in years are popping out of the woodwork looking me up because they heard I was sick. I didn't know I missed some of these people until I have seen and talked to them. My friends I did have now call me way more often just to check on me. It is great to feel all the love from everyone. I just wish they would quit feeding me all the junk food. I have gained way to much in the last few months as it is. I weight more now then I did before I got sick. Like 40 pounds to much. My doctors told me that I needed to gain weight but this is way past my limits. I am single and doing lung cancer by myself. I have a large family but my mother had a stroke in Nov. and everything is about her now. In a way it is a blessing as all eyes are now on her instead of me. I use to feel like I had to beat this cancer for them just because they had been through so much with me already. Now because I have not been able to return to work as of yet I am the care taker of my mother and am the one that is to take her to all her doctor appointments and anything else she needs done. Some days I just don't feel like doing it but who else is there to do it? Oh well I guess I would not have it any other way. Keeps my mind off my own problems. It is pretty sad when both my mother and myself ended up in the hospital at the same time. It did make it easy for family to visit as our rooms were across from each other. My daughter was in a different hospital because she had just given birth to our new baby. You guessed it I am sick of being sick. I want my life and my hair back. I am a fighter and will beat this cancer. I have my good days and my bad days just like everyone else but I am determined to win. Sherry (Kasey don't touch this one) LOL

That explains alot. I know now why I am tired and nothing gets done but age has nothing to do with it.
