Donna T. Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Hi everyone. Thanks for all the messages welcoming me! I am Donna T. and am Deanna's Mom. She has been on this site for quite a while.I have SCLC diagnosed Jan 17/03 and started chemo treatments Feb 4/03.very scary business!!.My treatments seem to be working. When I started treatment I was already on Oxygen 24 hrs a day.Now I haven't needed it for about 6 weeks,so that's progress.Also have a lot more energy.I thank God every day for my wonderful daughter,Deanna!! She looks after me so well and did all the legwork in January when I was just too weak even to pick up the phone. I hope to stay in touch with other Survivors through this site as I feel it is important to be able to express ourselves with others in the same situation. Hope this is not too long an introductory message. Just wanted to tell you a bit about myself.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyB Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Hi there Donna, I thought I recognized you from Deanna's other pix! Aren't daughters wonderful!!! I don't know what I would have done w/o mine during all my treatments (not knocking sons, mind you, it's just that I only have daughters!) I'm glad your treatments are working! Do stay in touch. These are special people here. JudyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debaroo Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Donna, sorry I'm late, but WELCOME!!! I am a fellow long islander, my dad was dx in Jan 2002 NSCLC. I have read many of Deannas posts, and not only are you lucky to have her for a daughter, but its clear that she is lucky to have you for a mom!!! I think that its SO GREAT that you have decided to join us, I wish my dad would. But, he's a man of few words, so I guess it would be difficult for him to open up here. Anyway, just wanted to welcome you-and say that I look forward to many more posts by you!!!!!!!!!!!! (not to put any pressure on you or anything ) Take care, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Hey there Donna! It's good to finally "hear" your voice. You do indeed have a wonderful advocate in your daughter Deanna; you must be very proud of your family. I am also glad your treatment is going well and you are getting your energy back. Take care, David P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
