kimmek Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Its been almost 2 years I guess since i have posted. I have spent the most of this morning first trying to locate LCSC, and finally found you guys thru Lungevity. After reading theough a few posts and getting over the shock and sadness of those who are no longer with us I decided to go ahead and post and reintroduce myself. I lost my Mom in October of 2006, although she had lung cancer, it was in remission and not what finally got her, but since no autopsy was done, I will never know for sure, but I think her heart finally just got tired. I am so very thnakful her cancer never came back and she did not have to experience anything horrible, for her to just go quityl in her sleep was such a blessing. I dont have alot to offer these days in form of help, but I have been a caregiver to my dearest friend in the world and know what it is like to walk, sometimes run in those shoes so if I can ever be of help to anyone I am going to do my best to try to check in regularly and get caught back up with things and people. As for me, I have spent the last 2 years taking clasess at my local jr college to get me in to a surgical assistant program. At first I started out wanting to be a nurse but after a few classes and seeing the things that interested me, I decided to go a dfferent route. I was accepted into a surgical assistant program which I start in August and should be done and working next to a sugreon a year from now. Not bad for a 46 year old lady!!. Sometimes I have to pinch myslef to believe all this has happened just since I lost my Mom and son. I know they are both watching over me and pushing me everyday and are so very proud. I look forward to getting to know the new members and hopefully catching up with some of the old ones. Have a blessed day! Kim Quote
