Carolsdaughter Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Just a little more then two years ago I lost my mom to LC. Today I spoke at the funeral of her only sibling her sister. My aunt died of pulmonary fibrosis which was also complicated with diabetes. Their father, my grandfather also died at an early age from LC. Pulmonary Fibrosis is also a disease of the lungs. I worry about this dreadful disease and the way it runs through and destroys families. Feeling very sad today. Thanks for reading my post.

bunny Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 shelley, I'm so sorry. my mom lost her younger sister to kidney cancer, and her older sister and both her parents died when she was a teen. it seems like some people just get more than they deserve and it's heartbreaking. your strength in being able to speak on your aunt's behalf is amazing, and shines through your post. love and prayers, xoxo bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolsdaughter Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 Was thinking of you guys and I thought that I would give you an update. With all of the stress I have been though I have been feeling ill... I have had a multitude of tests done mostly of my GI tract and it turns out nothing too serious. The other day I said to my doc, "Gee I have had almost everything except a chest xray and with my family history we should check it out. Within thirty minutes the xray was done and the results were clear lungs. I am only 44 but this is something that has been knawing away at me for almost two years. I am really happy I had it done.

stand4hope Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Shelly, I'm happy you had the chest x-ray, too. That peace of mind will help you to heal from the loss of another much-loved person in your life. I am so sorry that you are dealing with this grief.

cathy Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Shelly, I know what you mean about the chest xray, it knaws at me everyday, I wonder when LC will get me or another member of my family.. I glad yours was clear, hope you find out soon why your not feeling well... How is your son doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Shelly, I applaud your efforts in being pro-active in your preventive care. Please don't ever go without your xrays. Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail p-m Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Shelly, Good idea to have the chest x-ray done. Perhaps you can do it annually for peace of mind. With your family history, your doctor might well endorse this idea. Sometimes it's strange how doing something simple can be so helpful yet we think and think about it for so long until we do it. Hopefully, things are settling down for you. Gail p-m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
