Happy B-Day!!

Glad to see by your bio that the last combo of meds seemed to help. Cisplatin is notorious for causing neuropathy. If they need to try it again maybe they could swith back to carbopotin-it seems to work almost as well as it and does not have the neuropathy problems. Good luck Condy

Janice-I am glad to hear his journey is at an end. I KNOW what is liek to lose a parent. My mom with nsclc and dad with heart problems. You will need lots of time to start healing. Be glad you had those last moments with him to say what you felt. Love and prayers Cindy

Your post brings back memories and tears are flowing. The first one I did was in 2001 a few montha after that dreaded diagnosis, I made it around the track in a golf cart-to weak to walk it that year, and the clapping went on and on for all who walked that survivors lap. The next year 2002 I did the key note speech. My family have it taped. I hate it but they won't let me tape over it. I remember all the people clapping, crying, and shaking hands afterwards. Those are times you never forget. The people who put those together are to be commended. I have done a lot of research since those early days and am not happy with how the money is spent by the ACS but I will be forever grateful to the people who are out there each year encouraging 'us' to keep on going. Cindy

Just sent mine-Will wait and see-Cindy

I am one of those who does not go to the grieving forum-only if a death occurs on here. I went and read your post. You are wonderful. Cindy

Died July 5th 1992 nsclc, EVERY Mothers Day stings like the first one for me! I don't know if they ever get any better Cindy

Beth-Glad to see your post-I saw the one in General forum and came to this one to see what it was you wrote. You wrote it beautifully. Be kind to yourself, you deserve it Love Cindy (I do not read this forum often, You are right. I have enough worries that this forum is upsetting to me at times.)

Glad to hear it has been 2 yrs!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for guilt-sometimes, esp when I am talking to the living spouse of one who has died from sclc. Cindy

This is a hard one----What would your dad of wanted if he was still healthy????? I went thru nursing school and it is all consuming!! Prayers said for you all

I just love it when the Dr are wrong! Have a great holiday

Thank God for the results. I agree, only He can make that decision as to when we will leave and go home. NOT a disease. My prayer thru this ordeal has been thru me someone else will come to know that Jesus is the way and I am glad you are doing the same. Love Cindy

Larry-I totally understand-come back and check in every once in a while Love Cindy

Don is the best

I remember my scalp tingling-kind of like a light burning sensation. The first time it happened-hair coming out-I went to the beauty shop and had them cut it short. It all fell out later-within a few weeks. The second time I sat on the back porch and ran my hands thru it and let it blow off in the wind. The birds used it that spring for nests I believe Some of you may remember Jennifer from out near Washington DC, she and I laughed about that one. She did the same thing. Cindy

Just when I thought it was safe!! We have storms popping up all around again tonight!! So much lightening, it is awsume to watch. The radar looks like we are in for it all night! My exchange student from Korea is out back on the porch and is fascinated by it all!! Good luck to all. Cindy
