Time for a new thread:

Hi.
CC, I'm glad the results are in.
You sound like you're taking everything in stride and remaining nice & positive. That's a good thing!

I meet with my onc on Thursday, for probably bloodwork and to see "how I'm doing," I guess.
I still can't believe this is my last week---it's totally unreal.
Of course, this whole thing has been, sort of, that way.

I know it's got to be hard for you, CC, the "not knowing," but hopefully, tomorrow at this time you'll be back on your way to recovery. Like Linda says, it's just "another bump in the road."

God Bless you & keep you,
S.

Singer

thank you so much. I'm trying to stay positive but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't afraid, no terrified. I've been looking things up on the net and I definitely shouldn't have. There's nothing I can do, it's in God's hands. It seems like such a small thing when Don's going through so much. I'm really worried about him and how Linda is holding up.

I can sense the enthusiasm in your tone Singer. I haven't been on here too long but I know it's been hard for you. But the end is in sight. I hope all goes well on Thursday and Friday....................IT'S OVER.

God bless you too Singer and Linda if you see this....He is listening.

CC,
You're right...it's in God's hands.
You can do your part, by staying on-track with your feelings.
Every morning, I ask God to lead me---I have a way of obsessing, as you know. It helps to turn it over to a Higher Power.
Don't think what you're going through is a "small thing." I know what you mean, though--Linda's "Don" is having a majorly hard time. We really don't know why some people endure so many heartaches.
I think you've been absolutely amazing, going through your journey with it's up's & down's, and still are remaining strong. You go, girl!! Your mom would be proud. I'm sure she's with you in spirit. I bet she was an amazing, spirited person, like you.

Thanks for your well wishes.
I'll find out about my tests to see if I'm "A-ok," probably Thursday.
Other than indigestion & some tiredness, I'm not doing too bad.
You'll see---radiation is basically an everyday pain-in-the-butt,
But MUCH easier than chemo.
I can't imagine life without "treatment." Isn't that odd? It becomes second nature.
Take care.
...special prayers are being said for you.

Love, S.

I hope you're right Singer that my mom is proud of me. I "talked" to her last night and I prayed with her in my own way. I just wish she was going with me today. Time to go. I'm so anxious and worried.

Hope CC that by now you have some answers. You and Singer and the rest of you gals have been so very wonderful and giving. You have your own battles to fight and yet you have room in your heart to see someone else's pain. I am trying to live by my own words but sometimes when it all seems hopeless it is hard to remember. If he must go I pray that he is in peace and not afraid. I pray that my Mom and all the others that have passed will be waiting for him.

CC I am sure that your mother is by your side. I know that mine is with Don and with myself. She was such a strong person and I am trying to emulate that strength. I'm having a hard time doing that right at the moment. My\
husband and daughter struggle to find the right comfort for me so I know it is hard for them to see me sad. It is an endless circle of always trying to give comfort to those we love and to always know what to say. You would think by now we would have it down pat what to do and to say. Each circumstance is so different and you just try and find a peaceful place in your mind to rest for awhile.

Like Singer says it is hard not to keep thinking hte same thoughts over and over.

Well I still do not know anything. Cell phones do not work in the ICU or are
allowed so I may not find out anything until tonight. I wish I did not know anything about medicine and maybe I could not dwell on all the things are know will happen if they do not keep on top of things. I am just ranting right now as I do not know what to do with myself.

CC I know you must have some answers by now. Please let us know when you feel up to talking. Wish we could all meet and give each other a big hug.

Love to you all
Linda
P.S. cc your mom could not help be proud of someone so giving and caring . She is beaming with pride.
