    For Nancy

    in GRIEF

    Posted

    Nancy, a wonderful woman and the inspiration for Team Nancy at our walk is very sick. She could use all the good thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes you can send her way. She's fought very hard but she's tired and she needs some help.

    Thanks so much-

    Rochelle

    Ok for all of you that think eh is actually a word-- this is a copy of the text of my walk page (you don't get the pic).

    Team Jack Benny

    Team Jack Benny is formed in memory of John Molyneaux affectionately known as Jack Benny. John loved a bargain, a sale, and especially loved getting something free -- all of which earned him the nickname Jack Benny (Jack Benny was a comedian known for being cheap). John was diagnosed with NSCLC Stage IIIb in June of 2002 and given a prognosis of 4 months. He passed away October 31, 2007, living over 5 years past his diagnosis. He was able to have this time with his family due to lung cancer research which brought about new treatments. Please help us raise funds for research and cure this disease.

    Coincidently, the original Jack Benny also died of lung cancer.

    Please join our team!

    Rochelle, Tyler, Caitlin, and Jillian Molyneaux

    Feeling Alone and Scared

    Marci-

    This is the hardest time-- it will get better. I know it doesn't seem like it but the radiation will end and I am willing to bet it will end with good results. I also had a lot of resentment towards people that weren't there for me or for John. I remember one day a relative was complaining about her bad day which was losing a bid on a condo. I said. "I'll trade you my day for yours any day"-- as you can imagine she got the message. Hang in there - we've all been there, we understand.

    Don-

    I am sorry to hear it is time for hospice. I hope you have a lot of time yet where you feel good. You have helped many people here with treatment recommendations and you've made a difference in many lives. That's something to be very proud of.

    Thanks so much for the kind thoughts. The day is almost over. We decided to all get out of town for the holiday and that really helped. We went to Ann Arbor and Jillian went trick or treating with a friend's kids (Caitlin helped the dad get them around) while I passed out their candy. My friend had a baby boy yesterday so we thought that going away and helping her husband out would keep our mind off what we were doing one year ago today.

    I had a grief counselor come to the house on Wednesday to meet with us and I think that helped. So...in about one hour it will be November 1st and we begin year 2.

    Thanks for thinking of us.

    Going Backwards

    I'm sorry for what you are both going through. Try to get him to drink something, anything. Dehydration will land him back in the hospital pretty quickly. These set backs happen and I've seen a lot of members here get way down only to find the right drug that will stabilize things. I hope no matter what he decides that it goes well.
