Lucie and Don, The two of you are always in my prayers. I'm so very sorry to hear how long and drawn out this treatment is for Lucy. Mike had the long and the short. Oh how I remember the beginning ones that were all day, bring your lunch affairs. It is hard, but I remember there was benadryl in there that knocked Mike out and made him so sleepy.. it's effect continued until later when the decadron kicked in and kept him awake all night. I recall all those effects. I just hope Lucie will feel better soon and that the treatments work. Love and Prayers, Sue

Tom, I would highly recommend you go for the adjucant treatment plan. To put it simply, my husband had stage 1 cancer 5 years ago , had surgery and no chemo follow up. He had a recurrence a little over 2 years ago and passed away last month. At the very same time, we had a friend that also had surgery ,she had the chemo... she is now 5 years out and NED. At that time , it was not known if it would make a difference , but it is my belief that it is becoming more and more evident that it does. If at all possible , I would say , give yourself every chance. The chemo may be a little rough, but if my husband had been able to do it over again, he would have had it. God Bless. Sue

Tracy, Sorry I missed your first few posts, but I'm here now. I just want you to know that you have my prayers for much success with your treatments. We will be here for you. God Bless. Love, Sue

Sandy, This is a wonderful tribute to Jim. I've thought about you so much.. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Love, Sue

Sue, I'm sorry you started smoking again, but you can quit again. If you are looking for help, might I suggest the site that helped me after 38 years of smoking.... whyquit.com.. You will also find Mike's story referred to in several places there, along with links to lcsc. It's a cold turkey quit site and there's a wonderful support community there. Smoking is addictive so that picking up even one cigarette after a long quit can be enough to eventually start you back where you were. Hope this site will help. Love, Sue

Oh Lori, If ever I need someone to take care of me, I would pray they would be JUST LIKE YOU!!! Love, Sue

Tina, Losing your husband is a life changing event. You won't recover in one hour, one day or one anything. Like Katie B. says "But no matter what advice any of us can give, it's something so individual- we all walk into it so differently." Tina, Mike has been gone 7 weeks and it feels like it was yesterday. Where did that time go? Some days are easier than others . Some days I'm blind sided by the oppressive grief I feel and the tears won't stop. It's truly an emotional roller-coaster. Take the time you need and let us be the last of your worries. We want to be here for you and with you. love, Sue

Hi Lori, All of this sounds good for your mom. She is a remarkable woman and so are you. I know I keep telling you that, but you have been amazing through all of this. If you ever wonder what you can do, just look back at what you have done. It is no wonder you feel a bit of depression right now. You have been through an incredible amount of emotional stress. Take care. Everything is sounding better. Love, Sue

Don and Lucie, This is not the news that any of us hoped to hear , but I know the two of will make the best of the situation. I have always admired you for your ability to always look forward, not back. This time will be no different , I am sure. God Bless you both. You have my prayers. Love, Sue

Don and Lucie, Thank you so much for the update on Teri. She is so blessed to have you both for friends. Please tell her that my prayers are with her. I miss her posts so very much. Hope she will soon be feeling better. Love, Sue

Trish, I am so very sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my husband just two weeks prior to you losing your mom. I know how hard this is . My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love , Sue
