Cindy RN

I pm'd you but I thought maybe someone else may have the same question. Scroll down to the botoom of the page, the one with all of the forums on it. Cindy

So good to hear GOOD news, this has been a bad week. Thank you Jesus for the good, great!! news. Cindy

Dan Glad you are still around Sorry to hear about the problems you are having. DR!! sometimes you want to wring their necks! Cindy

Danni is now the 1000th member. Glad you found us and hope you are able to get what you need here. Love Cindy

Well it happened. 1000!

I too, am in a fog today. My husband said "you know you will have to just stay off the computer for a few days." I told him that I just couldn't, I get a support here I get no where else. Even with the sadness. None of my family can understand, they really do not like me to talk about the cancer. Here I can say what I want. Judy and Becky were good friends. It is just a hard time for all. Love to all of you! Cindy

OH MY, Curtis, I am so sad to hear this. I am so taken back. I never thought she had gotten this bad. I just posted to you I think yesterday. I am so glad you were with her. You and your daughter will be in my prayers for the peace you will need. She WILL be so missed. Love Cindy

My oncologist did not rec. it but the radiologist did. I did some checking and decided it was not worth the risk for me. I had hoped to go back to work and as an RN in the ER I did not want to chance the memory loss I still am not able to get back to work due to shortness of breath etc. The Dr said if it mets to the brain then we could do the radiation and so far it has not. Cindy

CALL THE DR.---Really, he can prescribe a magic mouthwash and it REALLY helps. Also drink lots of water and use a good chapstick. These happen to alot of people and there is something does help. You swish the mouthwas and can drink it. (usually) It helps with the sore throat that happens with this. Good luck. Cindy

My wish would be that NOBODY new had to join here. You are right Ginny. I just checked and we are at 995 now.

Dear Lord, Every single evening As I'm lying here in bed, This tiny little Prayer Keeps running through my head. God bless all my family Wherever they may be, Keep them warm and safe from harm For they're so close to me. And God, there is one more thing I wish that you could do, Hope you don't mind me asking Please bless my computer too. Now I know that it's unusual To Bless a motherboard, But listen just a second While I explain it to you, Lord. You see that little metal box Holds more than odds and ends, Inside those small compartments Rest so many of my friends. I know so much about them By the kindness that they give, And this little scrap of metal Takes me in to where they live. By faith is how I know them Much the same as you, We share in what life brings us And from that our friendships grew. Please take an extra minute From your duties up above, To bless those in my address book That's filled with so much love. Wherever else this prayer may reach To each and every friend, Bless each e-mail inbox And each person who hits send. When you update your Heavenly list On your own CD-ROM, Bless everyone who says this prayer Sent up to GOD.com. AMEN Author unknown

So sorry about your loss. Go to the forums for grieving or inspiational. There are lots of people there to talk with you during this time.

I happened to notice we now have 994 members. WOW I remember last yr when I got on here I was #10. Has this grown. Sad tho isn't it. That many people needing help getting thru this awful disease Lets have a countdown to 1,000. See who posts the next 995! Good luck, Cindy

Words are not much help at this point, it is to fresh. He must of been a wonderful dad. Cindy

Welcome-I like the pic too. My grandparents were farmers too. They also both died from cancer as did my mom, quite a family legacy! No one should have to go thru this but it wonderful you found this place. Great place to be when you need help! Love Cindy

Curtis Please tell Becky I am thinking of her. You make sure those nurses take care of her. She is special to us!! Cindy

Steph-I already posted at the other site. I wanted to say again how much I will miss her. We've been on here over a yr together. She was such a loving person. Be proud she was your mom. Love Cindy

Steph-I wanted add my sympathies here also. I knew your mom thru the boards since we joined in Jan 2003. She became a friend who will be sooo missed. Love Cindy

I knew that was you Anne! I agree, I don't think it hurts to discuss a loved ones last hrs. My mom went into a semi-coma for 3 days before she died. She really was not in pain and went peacefully. I was grateful for that. Cindy

I agree with Fay. My mother died of lung cancer 7 years before I too was diagnosed with it. Please come here to talk or just vent. There are lots of us --in fact way too many of us. Love Cindy

HA HA I LOVE THE IDEA THAT THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE WHO WATCH SHOWS THAT THAT HAVE NO SOCIAL VALUE WHATSOEVER!! My day consists of reruns also. Law and Order, Judging Amy, NYPD Blues, Judge Joe and Judge Marilyn. There are times when I have to leave and I actually tape a rerun to rewatch it Cindy

THANK YOU RAY I envy the time you had with your son. What a great memory for you both. Love Cindy

I opened up some of the windows today just to air out the house. I had to close them awhile ago-not quite warm enough YET.

Yes those are low. He needs to be on one of the meds to help the wbc increase and he could be on ptocrit for the rbc. He also needs to STAY away from anyone sick. His immune system is low right now. Check with his Dr about those meds. they are injections that can be given at the Dr office. Love Cindy

Steph-I am sooooo sorry, you must really be torn up. Not being there is so hard. Hopefully hospice will be able to help with her care. My prayers are with you. Love Cindy
