My story about me having stage 4 lung cancer. One word SUCKS. They tell me not to worry well that is not happening. The strangest thing it is not about beating my cancer because I know in my heart I will. My 13 year old son looking at me when I say no I don’t have no money for you. Now that is the hardest thing I have done in the 13 years of his life. I just didn’t give him every thing he wanted made him work for it. Now can’t give him anything because I don’t have it. I started working when I was 14 so I know nothing is just gave to you well not me anyway. So That is how I tried to raise my son.. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING GOT TO WORK FOR IT...... Guess it worked because he knows we are having a hard time and he wants a job. He’s a kid and I hate what he is going threw and can’t change it. His dad is dead so he can’t get no help there either just hard on him and me too. Well thanks for reading this.

Thanks Mike for the welcome. I hope to talk to some of the people here. I have alot of side effects for the chemo. I worry most about my son.
