Daddys Little Girl @ 35! Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Okay, so we just are starting to pick up the pieces again since my Dad passed and now today we just got the news that now my uncle has been diagnosed with LC. What is with the month of August always bringing bad news???? I'm not especially close to my uncle but my worries are not only for him and his health but also for my mother. How much can one person take. Here my father now her brother! I hate this damn disease and I just wanted to say that.... All prayers are welcome!!!

nancy c Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I totally agree with you! This is so unfair for you and your family to have to deal with more "cancer" news. I pray for you and your family. I hate this disease too and what it has done to our family. God bless you, Nancy C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie B Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Wow, this brings back memories. First my mom was dx.s in March of 1987 with LC and then in May of 1987 my sister was dx.d with LC. WOW, I know just how your feeling! It's awful. I lost my mom and sister 8 months apart from one another. I'm sorry you mom has to go through this. God bless and Good luck.

Ann Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 So sorry to hear that your family is dealing with this all over again. Even if the two of you aren't very close, this must bring back many painful memories for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryToo Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 In the past 5 years, my parents and in-laws have all been diagnosed with NSCLC. Three have passed away, but my Mom continues her fight to this day - 4.5 years since diagnosis at Stage IIIB. It is indeed horrible to have to deal with this disease yet again. But in a way, it is easier to take the 2nd, 3rd, etc. time around. The first family member being diagnosed seems more shocking and more devastating - maybe because of the fear of the unknown. But having been down this road, you become aware of what you should do NOW, what you and your family member are in for in the future, and how you can help and support both the patient and the rest of the family. God Bless you and yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaffie Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 So very sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Now, to have to deal with it again so soon must be dredging up memories still to fresh to want to deal with. Consider prayers sent, pronto. I, too lost my father to this hated stuff and then I got it. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
