Lilie Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi Everyone! I found this site 'by accident', or as I prefer, fate, and thought I would like to make some new friends. I am a lung cancer survivor of 1 1/2 yrs. I LOVE the name of the organization and well, here I am. Would love to talk to others.

Donna G Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi Lillie. Welcome. You and I may have similiar accents. We all know how stressful being told you and lung cancer is and it continues with all the tests and treatments not only on us but our families. Sorry to hear he couldn't handle the stress. The treatment can be well worth it though, I stand to testify, over 9 years of survival and cancer free! Keep us posted. Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilie Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Thank you Donna...it is so good to hear from those long term survivors! And yes, we do have somewhat of the same accent. You say "cafeee" where I say "coughfee"...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsC1210 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hello Lilie and welcome I am sorry to hear about your husband but glad that you have overcome him and are beating the cancer down as well. Your attitude is awesome. This is a wonderful site and I am glad you found it. Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish2418 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Welcome, Lilie. With your great attitude I'm sure you'll stay cancer-free for a long, long time. Look forward to reading more of your posts. Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom K Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 If your husband couldn’t remember the “in sickness and in health” part of the oath, he probably would have forgotten a lot of other promises. Your cancer may have saved you from a lot of heartache down the road. Welcome to the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recce101 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi, Lilie, and welcome to the LCSC! I was distressed to hear about your husband and what value he apparently placed on his marriage vows, but I'm very glad you've moved past that and I'm delighted that you're doing so well. Around here your status is also called "NED" [no evidence of disease] and after I joined it took some time to get accustomed to seeing my nickname used so frequently throughout the forums. But it was always associated with happy thoughts, and it was a pleasant adjustment. We can all benefit from your experience and perspective. Looking forward to reading your profile -- click "My Profile" at the top, scroll down to "Signature," enter/update your information, and make sure "Always attach my signature" is marked "Yes." Best wishes and Aloha, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilie Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 I must say that as I read all your welcomes, I found myself wiping tears that were falling down my cheeks! I didn't even know they were there. My Gosh how you all know how to move me. I am proud to be in a place where the support is so available. One of you said I have grit and attitude, well, yes, that is the old me and I just found here again...and I love her. I just have one small story to share. After all the chemo and the semi nervous breakdown realizing the new hubby left and I was alone, I bought at least 50 books on how to be a better person. They have been sitting and sitting and just recently, I brought them all back, and with my hefty credit, I bought books on things I am passionate about. I don't need to be a better person, well, in a sense we all do, I just need to be MYself. NOt the self someone else wants or judges. So I thank my cancer for all I have learned. I am alive, and I am starting to kick a bit! Whoooo Hooooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvillella Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Glad you found us. I was diagnosed around the same time. The only difference is that my wife and I stayed married. Good thing too, she would have killed me if I left. May you continue to be free of cancer. Ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
