May be a little early for Thursday's air but too late for Wednesday. Besides it's Thursday somewhere.
I agree with everyone's comments that Judy's passing really did affect everyone and especially the " air " in the JFF forum. She was definitely the backbone of that topic.
I had alot of correspondence in the 4+ years that I knew Judy, PM's, email, etc. I know there were times when post to the air's were down but she kept posting daily and was determined to keep it going.
Another busy day here and still no time to go horseback riding. Maybe next week. Did take an hour tonight to just go out in the pasture and watch the young calves. A friend of mine that passed away this spring would spend hours just sitting on a hay bale and watching the calves play. Sometimes it's nice to just enjoy the simple things.

Great News Susan. Congratulations. Keep repeating those words because they can definitely lift your spirits on a down day.

Congratulations Susan. Another milestone that you have passed. Our milestones seem to change from long term to short term after getting that diagnosis, but each milestone means so much. Let us know when you pass your next milestone.

Hey Judy
Congratulations !!!! So good to see you back here and the great news just tops it off. Nice to see your life getting back to the new normal. Take care.

Hi Patricia
I had my upper left lobe removed in Sept. 2007. They were just going to do a resection but in the OR, the surgeon changed his mind and removed the entire upper lobe. I had 4 rounds of adjuvant chemo after surgery. I was staged at 1B and they did not recommend chemo. I argued that I did want it and they finally agreed. But they wrote on my chart that it wasn't recommended and studies did not support my decision. I would certainly recommend it if you have a choice.
I am not sure if you will have radiation if they do a resection and remove everything.
I do almost as much now as I did prior to surgery. I do not play sports now but that is more to do with COPD than the lobectomy. Take care.

Hi Max
I remember you as well. After reading all the previous battles you have fought, there is no point changing now. Put the gloves on and get back in the ring. I am sure you will win this fight as well. We will all be here cheering you on.

Congratulations on the new job Eric. Now if you enjoy it too much you may feel guilty accepting a paycheck ! HaHa Enjoy

Welcome aboard Sandy
Like you, I had surgery and my upper left lobe was removed in September 2007. I followed that with Cisplatin/Vinerolbine for 4 rounds. I just got my results back on Friday and still NED. Each time you hear those 3 letter's, you are getting further away from a reoccurance so just keep adding to your last 2 results. Enjoy that new job.
-
I agree Mike and think you should get it checked out. Certainly sounds like something minor like a toothache or sinus infection, but the peace of mind would be worth it.
-
Got my results today and still NED !!!! That is 4 years and 10 months since surgery. Only 2 more months to hit that 5 year mark.

Great news Bud ! Now just enjoy your summer fishing.

I think you are right on the origin of the "air" Mike. I had forgotten Will's name but did remember he worked on the rig's and the pictures that he would often post. Judy in KW took ownership of it and made it a daily ritual.

Lost my neighbor and best friend at 7am. Another great person lost to lung cancer.

Thank you Mike for Saturday's post and Ann for opening the air today. It may never be the same but posting here will keep her memory alive. Judy had mailed me some canning recipe's that were passed down through her family and now they will be passed down through mine.
Been busy on the farm with calving and working on 2 big projects. Had to drive over 500 miles today for meetings on one of those projects so it's been a long day. Still have 2 cow's left to calve and the vegetable garden to plant so no rest for awhile yet. Take care.

Great news Fred. Congratulations Kasey.
-
Thanks for the update Judy.
-
Great news Janet. Now just enjoy your summer !
-
gotta love those three letter's N E D !!!!! Congratulations Joel and Maryanne.

Judy I am so sorry that you had to hear that result. But as in poker, as long as you have an out you are still in the game and we will all be praying that Gemzar is your out.
Your positive attitude is going to help you battle this beast.
Thinking of you and Stan during these difficult days. With your fighting spirit, I know that you will soon be picking up the gloves and getting back in the ring for the next round.
Take care sweetie.

Judy I had a Cisplatin/Vinerolbine combination. After the second treatment the ringing began and I mentioned it to the Doctor after the third treatment. He switched the Cisplatin to Carboplatin but told me that the hearing damage would be permanent. That was 4 years ago and I still have the ringing, sometimes worse than others.
You should definitely mention it to your Doctor.

Hey there
I haven't been posting alot but usualy drop in daily to read what is happening with everyone.
Judy I understand exactly what you mean. Both of us joined here about the same time. Since then we have lost alot of "friends". Not just people who we have lost but the caregivers of those people who have moved on with their lives. Some of the names you mentioned like Sandra and Patti bring back alot of memories going back to our chat night's. Other's like Lynne, Gail, and Shelli have just moved on and good for them. Just reality I guess. Either online or in our daily lives those things are going to happen.
Now who is this Tiger person ? LOL
-
Like Judy, I don't think the skull and cross bones are the way to go but I think you are on to something. Lung cancer certainly needs to recieve more awareness and support. Good on you for showing initiative !
-
Great news Muriel. Congratulations !!!!! Enjoy your summer.

Once you begin to get more information and a plan in place, things begin to level out emotionaly as you get that fighting spirit. Take care and please keep us updated.

Great to see you post mike. Missed you turning out the lights.
Diane I never heard that saying before but it definitely sounds true. It is nice to just watch the different personalities of the animals. I think they are more intelligent than some people give them credit for.
