    DBerry How are you????

    Good to hear from you Dan. Sorry that you are fighting fatigue but that was one of the side effects of radiation that I also fought. Good thing is, it goes away pretty quickly after treatment is over.

    Hope your hand is better soon.

    Prayers of healing and strength headed your way.

    You and your family are in my prayers also. Make memories with the baby with pictures, videos, tape recordings, whatever you can! I am doing that with my grandson (4years old) and we are having SOOOOO much fun doing it! We have tapes of us playing tonka trucks and flying kites, picnics in the park and both of us swinging at the park, trips to the zoo and trips to the store, all sorts of things that he will be able to go to to remember Grandma. I hope to be around long enough for him to remember me BUT in case I am not he will have lots of stuff to look at and listen to.

    Open Letter to Kathy LaTour - CURE Magazine

    I welcome you also to what has become the BEST site for lung cancer on the net. We share our ups, downs and sideways moments with each other. We laugh and cry together, sometimes on the same day. We offer compassion and understanding to the new members as we have "Been there, done that and bought the Tee-shirt". We cover all forms of lung cancer and can usually offer information regarding treatment options as he have gone through them. In effect, we are family, and we fight for each other. There is nothing worse than a Dr. saying "You have 6 months", how the he** do they know that?? I was gived 5 - 8 month when I was dx'd. Guess I have been dead for 4 months now by those statistics. It is so much better if the Dr.'s. have a positive attitude when speaking with patients as there are 2 ways to take a dx of cancer:

    1: You can lay down and let the cancer do what it wants in which case you will have a limited life span.

    2: You can FIGHT the cancer with everything available to you in which case you have a better chance of getting in to remission or at least reaching stability. I and most of the members have choosen to FIGHT. Some have choosen to not go through the chemo/radiation and to live the best life they can. It has to be a personal decision though, it can't come from a Dr!

    In any case, please feel free to contact Rick, KatieB or any of us if you would like more information.

    Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. I am a bit scared of this one cause I know it won't be "good" but as soon as we know the extent of growth we can then change our plans to FIGHT it!!

    God Bless you all,

    Thank you all for the Birthday wishes! I had a "semi" surprise birthday party on Sunday evening with about 50 people and yesterday (my actual birthday) I spent at home relaxing! My company gives us our bdays off with pay so I took advantage of it, lol.

    Next adventure is leaving Kansas City on the 4th of June to fly to MN returning home on the 8th of June. I am really looking forward to this trip!

    Thanks again!!!

    If we could think of it in this way - No one ever dies

    in HOPE

    Posted

    I came to realize early after dx that I was not afraid to die as I do believe that God has something much better planned for me. That is not to say that I am not sad about it because I know it will cause pain for those I leave behind. I spend a lot of time talking to my kids and friends about the fact that I don't want a "funeral" I want a CELEBRATION cause by then I will be in Gods home and will have no more pain or worries! I think they all understand that and I know my Pastor and his wife will help see that it happens like I want.

    I believe we leave this world but the next place we go is sooooooooooooo much better it can't be a bad thing!

    New here... Is hospice a death sentence?

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    My sclc came back as a combo of sclc / non small cell and is in my liver and lymphs. I am still able to take chemo and while it isn't working real well in the liver it is holding down the lymphs. I still work 5 days a week and do a few things around the house. Are your Fathers blood counts real low? That is the only time I can't get chemo. My Dr. cuts mine in 1/2 if needed or I get 2/3 sometimes but as long as my counts aren't to bad I get something.

    Your Father and family are in my prayers.

    Weight Gain

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    I had radiation that hit my esophogus so I went for a few weeks without eating. I have lost 70# and now seem to be holding it about the same (Up 2# one week, down 2# the next). My DR has told me he doesn't want me to lose anymore (First time in my life they have said THAT). I only have steroids one day a week with my pre-med and I DO eat like a horse that day. I guess I am glad thats all I get, lol.

    God Bless,
