  1. Hello, You have a long road ahead, all the people here will be with you a tie of the tried and true. In many ways in many places in mant circumstances from what I am reading on this site. FIGHT, as hard as you can, push as hard as you can for surgery, you need to know if not, why not. Push for surgery if it is at all possible. So many confusing thoughts, so many UPS and DOWNS. I feel for you I have been there also. But for me it was 09/02/96, when I was operated on for the removal of my right lung, all of it, so a longterm survivor. THINK POSITIVE ALWAYS. Dont let it get to you your aim is to survive, hold tight to that aim. Good Luck, God bless you. Ina.
  2. Hello Judy, just aboutyour mum coming home. Fantastic to have all the family support for 4 weeks ,she will love that. But can I tell you speaking of my own case. You also need some time to yourself. Sometimes everyone loving you to bits can be a bit smothering. You may want to weep by yourself SOMETIMES. You are so glad of all the help, so glad. Just sometimes for the sake of your soul, you need solitude to sort out a lot of thoughts. I wish you luck, your mum is a lucky lady to have you. Ina.
  3. Hello Cheryl, I would like to add my very best wishes for your recovery after your surgery on 15 th. I will be thinking of you as well, when I work out the time difference. Cheryle it is 7 years and 7 months since I had my right lung removed. When I awoke in intensive care, my daughter was with me, and yeah it is a bit scary expect that. I pushed a way at that button when thw pain was a bit much. That is what the pain relief is for " USE IT" My daughter tells me I kept saying "Upwards and Onwards" to her That was a twilight zone night. Next day I did so well I was moved to a ward, was up that night, in the shower next day, with my oxygen. I was home in a week. It is harder then, but I walked, a little more each day, it is so important to get that remaining lung going for it !! You know what it will. I had no chemo or radiation. Have been cancer free for almost 8 years. Feels good. You are all so brave, and I am humbled to read your posts and responses. If I can be of help to anyone anytime. Dont hesitate to contact me. Good Luck , oh yes have apillow or cushion with you all the time for a little while to cough , hold it against your empty lung area. So good. And a heat bag for the micro wave is such a comfort. CONFORT is the word give yourself lots of pillows lots of comfort. Love yourself to bits, and just keep on pampering YOU, forever. Cheers Aussie Ina. :

    What really good news for you. It will be 8 years in February 2004, since I had all of my right lung removed. I do pretty well for a 63 year old lady with one lung. So keep positive, that is the onlt way to go. Cheers, Ina from Tasmania. [/b][/i]
