dchurchi Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Well my beloved husband has survived 1 year!!! yup 1 year ago today I sat in utter silence and shock as the Dr. told us Alan had lung cancer. Sometimes it feels like forever ago, other times it feels like yesterday. It was a challenging year to say the least, but in many ways Alan and I have been very blessed. We have been given time to make lasting memories togehter, time to say how much we love eachother and Alan has mended fences he felt needed mending. Not everyone gets that opportunity. I want to thank each and every one of you for helping me get through my dark days. Your stength is inspiring and I hope I have given a little in return.

Bob-ellen Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Debbie, Congratulations to you and Alan on his one-year survival. I know the feeling well. My husband just reached his one-year since dx in December. May you both enjoy many more years. I second the motion on the "tilting of the elbow ," and a toast to wishes for a cure - or reasonable fact simile - soon. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
