    Thanks Pam for letting us know. Very sorry and saddened to hear about Cindi. I always enjoyed reading her posts. She was a straight shooter. My condolences to her family and friends. Rest In Peace Cindi!

    Hi Bucky,

    My doctor treats my lung cancer like it's chronic. Try not to focus on semantics, your doing great and get on with it! Prayers as always.

    Gail,

    I use a cane/walker, plus need oxygen and many meds to get me through the day. Might even have to get a scooter at some point. If it helps that is really all that matters, does not mean it is permanent. You can lead a horse to water but can't get it to drink it. When one feels crummy things look more bleak. Try to encourage him that this is what's best for him and that he is fortunate to have options available to him. Has he considered a phone buddy or join a support group it does help to talk to someone who as been there done that. Prayers for the best.

    It is written by the experts…

    OK so I have Lung Cancer. Am I supposed to stop living, go into funeral mode and wait-- wait for what :?: According to the experts I’m not supposed to be here this long so I should get my affairs in order and do this and do that. Well everyone should have their affairs in order just in case something happens (after all one could be killed in an automobile accident or I know maybe hit by a bus) and do this and do that. Should everyone tip toe around me and have a long face on them, after all I have Lung Cancer and it is written, you know by the experts not going to be here very long. Had one of my family members tell my daughter she should get married and have kids before I die. Gee I’m not ready for my daughter to get married, have kids or die. People always ask me aren’t you waiting for the other shoe to drop, no isn’t the other shoe going to drop for all of us one day weather we wait for it or not? Sure life is doctor’s appointments, procedures, tests and treatments but hey that’s what is keeping me alive so I can live life to the fullest, do whatever and act normal or whatever normal is. Funny how people perceive how we should live and what we should do. OH well I’m glad I’m not an expert, I would be dead by now. :lol:

    BTW my daughter said she is not ready to marry/have kinds and I still have both of my shoes on…
