Elaine Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Cat may have taken it off for some reason. But since some of us are having trouble posting posts that somehow don't show up, it may have been that too. I see that her post that begins this thread is not an editied version of the one I read earlier. So who knows???? Cat will let us know, I'm sure. elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebbie Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Cat, I'm sorry you feel lousy today I can't recall what it was you wrote your senator about....treatment of LC patients? awareness? funding? Do you know if your state has declared November "Lung Cancer Awareness Month" (what state are you in and I'll research it for you) We had a Senator pass it through in NJ in May, but it is waiting to be heard by the Assembly House. I just dashed off a letter to them last week encouraging them to quickly pass it... Boy oh boy.....writing to your senator....we have another Activist on our hands! You'll have to start posting on that thread! Andrea and I were just commenting about how empty that forum is..... ps - no, I don't think your blood pressure is "too little" to call your doctor about!

-Cheryl- Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Cat, So glad that the senator is checking into it. You on the other hand, I am concerned about. Go to the docs and check it out. Trust me. High blood pressure and the pains you describe, may be the sign of something more serious. Call your doctor! Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nushka Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Cat, I also think you should go get checked out with that b/p and for your pain. I may have missed something but they sound like new areas to me. I admire you Cat. You are getting something done when you feel like crap. That takes real will power. I will keep you in my prayers.

mhutch1366 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Cat, Call about the bp. You don't have a little chuggy valve like the pressure cooker does....... and you can't just blow a gasket if it is too much! Do not despair, my friend. Never say never. See if the doctor will get your case to Dr. Schrump's attention at NIH. He's in town in August, I have my scans then. Meanwhile, find a good book to reward yourself for your efforts. If you can't find one, write one. XOXOXOXOX Prayers always, MaryAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelliemacs Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 if its worth anything cat. I LOVE YOU!!!! you have made a spectacular differance in my life. You have shown me that courage comes in the places you would least expect it. Its in the people with the most fear, and the most to loose. You are facing the battle of your life. Yet your still taking time to wage war for every other person who is or will be stricken with this disease. I love you and I thank you for your courage, strength and convictions.

Fay A. Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Happy smiles because you are being taken seriously by someone who can help. More happy smiles because it looks like I'm not locked out any longer. To quote my 7 year old nephew, " Woo Hoooooooooo!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bean_si (Not Active) Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Thanks everyone. It means a great deal to me to have support. Your support and kindness is one of the reasons I decided to fight and get us some attention. We deserve it. BTW, this isn't my state senator - it's a U.S. Senator - with real pull.

Don Wood Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Cat, your blood pressure is in the danger zone. I would definitely call the doc. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
