Hello, My Mom had a good checkup...she is fine! My parents are far away...I miss them so.. I have a chance to travel on my vacations...To go to some wonderful places ...Now I just need to break the news... Can My parents come?... Have parents will travel!! I want them to have fun too... I find myself saying...My Mom/Dad should see this !!!.....I'm serious!! I miss you Mom and Dad...two weeks can not begin to fill my heart......I love you!!! Live, love and prosper. Sorry so sappy..) Praying for all who come here for courage and strength to face this battle. You are all in my thoughts daily and prayers. Thanks to Rick and Katie as always. Bless you my friends, Laurie

Dee, I'm so sorry...I am sending prayers for you're family. Laurie

Ndrea, Katie, Deb and I always called it CWD...Chronic Worriers Disease... we have all been there. Its the shock of the cancer striking a loved one... the fear and woory of why, and how, connecting things and control...It is hard but some worry is essential too much can paralyze, try to manage it, Katie cleans closets, I like to jog or play board games when you feel you are getting overloaded practice turning your mind off... its not good to carry it at all times...it won't help but may make you sick so try to let God run the show and have some faith... I also pray and once I feel I can not do anymore to control the situation I give it to a higher power and pray for what is best. Bless you, Laurie

Caroline, I'm so sorry to hear that your MIL is not well and it sure is difficult. It sounds like the others have some good advice. I had to quit my job to care for my grandmother, but her and I were so close I wanted to be with her and couldn't bear the thought of a stranger leaving her side...I was able to manage just bearly...almost lost my mind..lol... and with about 3 other helpers for 3 years...she was paralyzed from neck down..total care but her mind was working full speed! I sure feel for you and am sending warm prayers and thoughts for her care and your family. Laurie

Hi Heather, Welcome, I'm so sorry to hear your Mom has lung cancer. My Mom is in and from NH too. Where is she being treated? I know how hard it is but your Moms going to be treated and many here including my Mom have survived and continue to fight and do well. Its not easy but we can support you and help to give tips on what we have experienced. Sending prayers for you and Mom. Laurie....

Carleen, I'm so sorry to hear of you and Kieths stress. I have built a home and it was very stressful! Do you own the land? 00r does the builder? The bank only released funding for a small portion of the home? Why can't you get a new builder to finish your home? What did your lender say? I think everyone who is going through this disease faces doubt and questions qiving up now and then. It sounds like its just "talk"... like you said alcoholic ramblings. I'm so sorry to hear that you are so scared. I can only imagine how hard this is. I will pray so hard for heang. (HUGS))) Laurie

Andrea I hope today was very special for you and Brian and your families (especially your Mom) I've thought about you all night and pray with all of my heart that your most special dreams come true. My sister whenever you face trials of any kind, through love and encouragement may you find peace and joy. May you feel fulfilled and complete and lacking for nothing. "Love is extravagant in the price it is willing to pay. The time it is willing to endure and the strength it is willing to spend. Lover never thinks in terms of "how little" but always in terms of "how much" Love gives, Love knows, love lasts forever." Joan Ereckson Tada Love, Laurie

Peeps, I'm so sorry you have to face lung cancer. My Mom has a different type so I can't offer medical advice just hope and support . Keeping vigilant and asking questions. Bless you and your aunt Laurie

Hi, I was just thinking about you and hoping you are doing well. I hope you reached out to someone or a friend/famly member for support . Please just let us know how you are... Bless You Laurie

Okay this thread is killing me. A total tear jerker....I'm sobbing...reading these love stories. Curtis that was so sweet...Awwwwhhhh .... I hate.. cancer!! Does Curtis have a brother? Mo...I'm getting out the Ben and Jerrys... .......

Hi, So sorry you are worried about your Mom....When my Mom acred this way she needed a blood transfusion...I thought brain mets too... blood carries oxygen to the brain! She also could have severe dehydration...I would take her in and have her levels checked. Hugs to you and Mom Laurie

Erin, I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through so much....I'm sending good thoughts and positive prayers for you and your husband. Hang in there. Hugs Laurie

Sending warmm hugs and good thoughts your way. Sending prayers for Dad. Laurie

Oh Norme I'm so sorry... Thinking of you and sending huge hugs and prayers your way. Love, Laurie

Oh Mo I can only imagine but I think I know what you mean... Someone to force that water on you... stare at you while you eat... cringe when you cough.. make you go to the hospital when you want to stay in bed.. lol.... I remeber my Mom yelling at my dad to stop lurking!!!.. hehehe... Does that cheer you up at all? Big Hugs to you and me the lonely hearts club... I only wish one of the nice folks on here had a good quality son for me!!!! LOL Laurie

I'm not advocating divorce if there is love and respect there is counseling , that may help. Counseling is good alone too... I felt an immediate sense of peace once I let go...and moved on. The chips are dow and you are fighting for your health, your partner needs to fight with you.!! If the person is unhappy and mean, or psychologically ill which some people "just are"!! You don't have to take that....you have enough problems .....I would rather be alone then with half a person! Half a person times two...as a partner turns you into half a person...!! The things that are worrisome to me are the mind games you speak off.....I was always a fault, I made him that ...."way"....Its a swinging pendulium...if it feels inconsistent, erratic and unstable..... Instead of loving,caring supportive and stable you are better off alone. Huge Hugs Laurie You deserve only the best....
