My Dear Susan - Will send up special prayers today that your Mom's pain may be eased and some direction in your decisions. God bless you both. Terrie

Hi Tam Tam- Sorry you need to be here - but I'm sure you will find plenty of support. I hate to hear that your husband is having such a hard time of it. Will keep you both in my prayers as you fight the fight! Terrie

Gina - I am so sorry for your loss - I am sure your friend is making beautiful music in heaven. You and Robert's wife are in my prayers. Terrie

Sally - Amen to what Jenny said. Please know that miracles happen every day - I have been shown that in the last year. I will keep you and your brother in my prayers right now. Terrie

Deb- So glad you posted about your Dad! Your parents are just the cutest - I got a little "misty" with the comments they made, too. No wonder you are such a postive, strong person - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Terrie

Cindy - Welcome back - so glad to hear everything went great! Terrie

YIPPEE!! News sounds great - what an inspiration you are! Terrie

Oh, Annie, what WONDERFUL news! So glad to hear that Tim is on the mend!!! Terrie

Bob- Will keep your wife in my prayers, also. I am glad you came to register - stay with us, we are all on this ride together. Terrie

Welcome - Sorry you have to be here - but you are always welcome to vent. I also had a neuroendecrine carcinoma, although mine was a typical carcinoid. I had a rough time breathing after my lung was removed, too, and was on oxygen for about 5 months. I think you are pretty normal - it just takes time to heal and get your strength back. One thing that everyone stressed was as soon as you are able - walk. I know I had a hard time doing 2 minutes on the treadmill, but now I am back to my "before surgery" walking. There are still days when it's harder than others, but I have been trying to still walk. As far as the chemo after surgery, well I think that's up to the individual. I was told it wasn't necessary because of the kind of tumor I had, but I did have chemo before surgery. With all of the strides being made now with the drugs and the way they are administered, chemo was nothing like I expected it to be. It was, for me anyway, very tolerable. Being depressed is a totally NORMAL reaction, I think. You have been through HE*$ and back - but here you are - a SURVIVOR! You may not realize it yet, but perhaps you will inspire someone else who has just been diagnosed. Perhaps their family just got the news and don't know where to turn, etc. You are here for a reason - so come and share with us - we are glad to have you. I will keep you in my prayers as you recover. Terrie

Shordy- I, too, want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I know how you loved your Dad - I will add my prayers, too. Terrie

Annie- Most definitely will keep you and Tim in my prayers. Here they go now.......... Terrie

Jay - Just a small response to your small update - YEAH! It's good to hear from you. Hopefully the doctor will be able to relieve your headaches - God bless! Terrie

Janet - Count my prayers in, also!!! Terrie

Gina- Yep, you had a scare alright!!! Sure am glad everything was OK in the end - this cancer is a "thrill ride" I could do without! Terrie

Don and Lucie - So glad to hear our dear Lucie is home where she belongs! Terrie

Shannon - Know that prayers continue as you go through this - ((((HUGS))) - Terrie
