Lovely prayer Fay and a blessed New Year to all!!! sue

Hi MIke, I just want to welcome you to this group. I personally don't know much about SCLC, but you will see that there is a forum here that is just for that kind of cancer. You should be able to get a lot of useful information from there. Whether it be NSCLC or SCLC, we all have the same emotional burden to bear. People here are so very kind and compassionate. I hope that you will find comfort in knowing you aren't alone in this battle . Sending prayers for you, your Dad and your family. sue

Thanks Ann . Happy New Year to you!! God Bless you, sue

Peg, Thank you for the beautiful New Year's wish. This being the first New Year's eve without your husband must be very hard . May God be with you. God Bless, sue

Wendy , My sister, who lives with mom and dad, takes care of their diabetic cat. He is 13 years old and has been diabetic for , I think , 3 years now. He became quite thin and walked all hunched up etc... You would not believe he was the same cat now.. She gives him insulin shots twice a day & feeds him special food from the vet. Now the cat, has gained his weight back, has a beautiful shiney coat, and plays like a kitten. It took a while to get him regulated on the amount of insulin, but once they did it worked like magic. I have to tell you that she would have been voted the most unlikely to be sticking a needle in anyone or any animal, but to save his life, she did it . Anyhow, just know that you aren't alone in that journey either.. My best to you. sue

My prayers included for that cure and my prayers for everyone here for a healthier 2005... Happy New Year all. Love, sue

(((Cheryl))) Cheryl, take a deep breath and take it one day at a time. This disease is such a roller coaster of emotions and full of challenging situations. I can feel your fear and I wish I could make it go away. I hope you can take strength from the people here that have gone through this ahead of you and most of all from all the prayers being sent your way. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless, sue

Welcome Glenn, It's good to have you with us. The more people are willing to share, the more we all can learn. My best to you. sue

Welcome to the Family Charlie, We are glad to have you with us. sue

Welcome Jackie, I'm so glad you joined us. It is really a help to know that you aren't alone in this world and trying to cope with a cancer diagnosis. Every case and every person is different , but the one thing that I think helps is support. The support that I have gained here, as a caregiver, has helped me tremendously. Many of the members here have a wonderful survivors attitude. Most folks here consider themselves "warriors" , not "victims". They are focused more on life than death. I would suggest that you read here as much as you can and dwell on the positive. I think you will be able to take with you the right attitude to help your mom fight focus on winning this battle. My thoughts and prayers are with you. sue

It's good to see you back Margaret. I pray you continue to get stronger and stronger. Take care of yourself. Your smile has been missed on the boards. God Bless, sue

God be with you, Charlie and your family . You are in my thoughts and prayers. love, sue

Cyndy, Here it is Christmas and we are about to head over to my mom's house, but just for a little while I am with you in spirit. Your post has tears running down my face , but I can feel that you are truly at peace knowing that your Tim has passed on to a better world of no suffering. He must have been a wonderful man. You are amazing Cyndy and I feel Tim is looking down on you with pride and love on this day. May God bless you and yours with peace and love this Christmas and always. Love, sue

Hi Bruce, I had missed seeing you on the boards , as well. Sorry, you are suffering with the winter blahs. I know the holidays have sent me, as a caregiver, on an emotional roller coaster. Let's all pray for a healthier, more promising 2005. Take care and know that you have a lot of folks out here that care. Hang on to "stable" and take strength from all the thoughts and prayers coming your way. sue
