Guest Tim'sKathy Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 No, I am not soliciting birthday greetings..LOL ! Just wanted your opinions/thoughts on this one. Today was my birthday and NO ONE (except Tim and my aunt ) either remembered or acknowledged it. They have all disappeared and I know (or have been told) that it's because they do not want to come face to face with what they fear....BUT...at a time like this, I just needed them to let me know they still cared..and it did not happen.... Feeling sorry for myself..have to get off this pity pot...I have a WONDERFUL CARING LOVING husband...tired as he was from chemo, he went out today in search of a watch for me that had blue topaz (my favorite) but couldn't find anything...what a sweetie...THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS MONSTER CALLED LUNG CANCER IS GOING TO GET HIM...I will fight with all I have to make sure WE win ! Kathy wife of Tim, dxd NSCLC IIIB 12/02- with malignant pleural effusion (no spread anywhere else).Talc pleurodecis 1/03. Just had last of 6 Taxol/Carbo treatments and getting a month off. CT Scans on June 17th..praying that the cancer has shrunk even more from last scans done after 4th treatment. Will meet with Dr. E to see where we go from here on the 23rd ! Quote
LindaMRG Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 Happy, Happy birthday Kathy. Sending you a ((((((HUG))))))). Its okay to have that pity party. I have mine and its not even my birthday. What a good hubby getting you that watch, that shows how special you are to him. Quote
ginnyd Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 Kathy, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!! When Earl first got sick I told my children and close friends that this strong independent lady was going to need them to get through this journey. Most have been there for us. I did have to remind my son a few times what needing him meant. My husband is wonderful, but you need others too right now - let them know. Quote
Candy Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 Happy Birthday Kathy! Tim sounds like a great guy! Your right, you and Tim can win this battle. Quote

Don Wood Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 Happy birthday, Kathy. Tim is one lucky guy to have you in his corner. I hope you had a great birthday with him. Don Quote
Tiny Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 Kathy, Happy late birthday to a great wife and "cyber friend"! Hang in there!!! I'm sure everyone is just scared and feeling like if they keep their heads in the sand (or somewhere else???? ) that this situation will pass without their having to deal with it too much. It IS a load, but we are here to help you shoulder it. Wish I were close enough for a real visit and hug. Quote
