Growing up my name was Jane Russeell, You remember the first sex symbol and the infamous 18 hour bra?? I was delighted to get married and have my last name changed as I was always teased about it. I never liked the name Jane and was named after an aunt. My parents named one of my Sisters gayle and I have always loved that name so if I were to choose it would be Gayle. God Bless Still Jane

Dear Don and Lucie, I am so sorry that the scans were not good. You are both always in my prayers !! God Bless you both, Jane

Hi, My Brother had radiation to his spine where cancer had eaten right through a bone and he was unable to walk and the pain was horrible. After radiation he said his back felt better than it had his whole life. He had no more pain and walked and did anything he wanted with no problems. God Bless You, Jane

Praying for a good plan Addie and nothing brewing in you're gut!!!! God Bless you, Jane

Welcome Jamie, It seems I dont need to tell you a lot about this wonderful caring "family" as you have seen it yourself. I look forward to getting to know you and helping when and if I can when you need it. You sound like a very strong person who sees things through very clear eyes. Love that hubby and beautiful baby and live like you have never lived before. Once again, Welcome! God Bless you all, Jane

Welcome Sandy and Jim, I am so sorry that you are going through this but I will say you have found the right support community. This is a family of loving, caring people made up of patients, caregivers, people that have lost their loved ones and so on. I would have been lost without them through my Brothers sickness and passing. Here it is a yr and 2 months later and I am still here as you become very attached to the wonderful people here. I am praying for Jim and you and hoping you stay with us and get the support you need, the cheers you need when things are good and the shoulder when things are bad. There is also an ask the experts forum for questions you want to ask of a professional. God Bless you both, Jane

Dear Val, You're post touched my heart and made me cry. I can almost feel where you are. I lost my husband when he was 29 yrs old and I was 28. What saw me through that loss were my 2 children. I had a 6 yr old and an 8 month old. As much as I wanted to just sit and cry and just sink through the floor I couldnt. I had to be strong for those boys and I had to change those diapers, make those meals etc etc. Yes, I had a very large family but at that time they were all living in Florida and I was living in Massachusetts. I felt alone but not really... I had the wonderful love of my sons and you have that beautiful Daughter to keep on keeping on and time will heal you're wounds. I am still healing a yr and 2 months after the loss of my Brother yet I am stronger today than yesterday and will be stronger tommorow. You will be too!! You're Mom loves you as you do her and is in a perfect place where there is no pain, no sickness and no time. She will eternally live there and some day you will live there with her. You have a wonderful Husband and many blessings. Look toward the day when you are all together and a family again living together day to day. You have these wonderful things to look forward to. Take those pictures, work on that blog, write letters and time will somehow be past and you will have you're loving husbands arms around you again and this time there wont be having to let him go again. I'm sorry I have really gone on and on but you're post touched me so deep. Please PM me if you want to chat or if there is anything I can do to lift those spirits and put a smile on that face of yours!! God Bless you all, Jane

Dear Becky, I am late in wishing David a Happy Birthday in Heaven but he forgives me I just know he does! That picture is so wonderful you both are just radiant!! Love shows through there right through those smiles!! I am so glad you had a tree planted in David's memory. I went to do the same thing in June of this year on Alan's birthday and still have not recieved the tree that will be planted in my yard. It will be a red maple as it was his favorite tree. I have to say I did better than I expected to do on his birthday and the anniversary of his passing but having Mom here with me helped I am sure., Time is our only healer Becky and we will heal but we will always remember what very special Brothers we had. I'm sorry but I have a real hard time with writing had as I still consider him my Brother and he is so HAVE. I have 5 Brothers , tell me if anyone knows what is the proper way to say how many siblings you have. I always say I had 5 Brothers and lost 1 and have 2 Sisters. Becky, I am sure you're Brother is smiling down on you as mine is me and we will get to live eternally in Heaven with them. God bless you Sweety, Jane

How very interesting!!! Thanks Leslie. I just had my first MRI last week and have not got the results yet for chronic back pain. I had had an Xray the week before but an MRI was suggested from the person that reads the xrays. Thanks for the info and I just have to say LOVE THAT PICTURE!! God bless you both, Jane

Dear Pat and Brian, Wow!! How very much thought and time went into that. What truley went into that was a ton of love!!! Just by knowing you through this community family I see why you are both so loved. God Bless you both always, Jane

Dear Sue, ((((((((Hugs)))))))))) At least he is on something to help him get rid of what ever is making him cough so much. Maybe he will be able to start the other medication when you get hold of his oncologist. God Bless you Sweetie, Jane

Dear Elaine, I am so sorry that you are going through all this. I am praying for both you're Daughter and you. God Bless, Jane

Dear Sue, Just reading this and its almost Monday morning. Thank God! I hate weekends for the same reason, if you need a DR you will have to go to the ER and wait 5 hours ( no kidding!) By the time you leave you feel like you have been an inpatient as you have been in the hospital so long and then you never leave fully satisfied because you are never seeing YOU'RE DR. You are both in my prayers Sweetie, you are doing the best you can so take a deep breath and continue on. God Bless you both, Jane

Good vibes and prayers for you're Mom! God Bless, Jane

Dear Addie, I'm sorry that you were given bad news but You are a fighter and I'm sure will figure out how to deal with this mess when you get all your results in. You are in my prayers. God Bless You, Jane

Hi Margaret, When I lost my 1st husband to a car accident when he was 29 that is one of the first things I remember feeling is not being able to swallow. My Mother who lost my Dad at a young age of 46 said the same thing. She had trouble swallowing. I have to say though mine did not last months, perhaps weeks but yours seems like a long time to still be feeling that. I would have the swallowing test and make sure everything else is okay. You are in my prayers Dear Margaret. God bless you, Jane

Dear Curtis, I will also be reading you're online blog. I have always liked to read you're thoughts here and loved the way you wrote. I am sure it will be emotional both the first day of school and also without Becky there. She will be there in spirit I assure you. God Bless you both, Jane

Welcome Kinderdo, You have found the best Lung cancer support group on the net. You will come to know us as a big family. I am praying for Larry and you. God Bless. Jane

I always thought that my Brother would give up alcohol ( which he did 15 months before his death) and find the life he had been missing all the years he drank his pain away... I always thought he would always be here and just a phone call or short drive away. God bless you all, Jane
