Guest Rita Bubb Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Marsha, Great News. To think so few words can change the day for us. I had my 6 mo. check up the 6th and all's still clear. This gives me almost 2 1/2 years. I am always so happy to hear of another LC survivor beating the odds. I have become very outspoken in the community here. I tell my story, and then tell people not to decide that I am probably near death's door based on my having had LC. Then I tell them also not to think that I got the illness that I deserved. Nobody deserves lung cancer. We all know that tobbaco is deeply implicated in this disease. It doesn't matter if I was a 2nd hand smoker or 1st hand smoker. Or, I may never have heard the word "tobbaco." People get lung cancer from many causes. We just know that smoke is one causative factor. I am happy to be able to help to influence people. I have lost alot of my shyness. I have always been very reserved. One day it suddenly occured to me, that I didn't know what I was being "resreved" for. Was I reserving the "best of me" for my death bed? Enough being reserved! There is too much that needs to be said. I need to tell people how much they mean to me. I need to let them know how nice they look. I don't need to stay in the corners hoping some one will see me and ask my opinions. I need to speak out about the dangers of tobacco and 2nd hand dangers. I am tired of seeing our young people light up en masse. That's enough. I think you get the point. I am getting well and I think I need to give back now. Again, Marsha, Congratulations on your good report. Quote
