Lainy, That doesn’t sound good. Cut back and see if that helps and take a lot of naps today. You need to rest and heal.
Thanks Lainy! Glad to see you back so soon. Hope this means you are healing quickly and feeling well. No lights yet but did find a picture I had misplaced and all of a sudden, there it was in a place I had looked several times. And a feather! Do still have the electrical signs from time to time. Yes, our new normal. We just learn to adjust.
Take care.
Hugs,
DarlaI’m doing OK. Thanks for asking. I just try to keep taking my own advice and take things one day at a time. Although it’s been almost 7 1/2 years, some days that is still harder to do the others. Today was one of them. It would have been our 49th anniversary . I try not to dwell on that and remember that we did have a lot of good years together. We were very fortunate and had a good life together. So I try to remember all the good times and there were many.

DarlaPorter,
Thanks for the details. Glad to hear things are going relatively well and that your great attitude is still in place. I’m sure you will get some replies to your questions about pain management soon. Keep on living your life and enjoying your children. Take care and pop in whenever you can to let us know how you are doing.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaHI Porter,
Good to hear from you. Think of you often and hope all is well in your world.

DarlaWow! You’ve had a couple of rough days, but glad things have settled down and you are beginning to get back to normal, what ever that is.
What ever kind of immune system you have, at least it is working for you. Guess this was just a wake up call to be a little more careful. Hope things go back to uneventful. Hi Annabel,
I too would like to welcome you to the best place you can be for coping with this disease. Sorry
that you had a need to find us tho’. I agree with Lainy that something just does not sound right and would go for a 2nd and maybe even 3rd opinion on this. Definitely use the search engine to see what pops up. I’m sure others who live over there and have more knowledge of what to do or where to go will be coming on soon to welcome you and give you some suggestions. Everyone here is very helpful and supportive and will do what they can to help you out. Take care and keep us updated as to how your dad is doing.Hugs,
DarlaScott, Those of us who have lost loved ones experience the same thing. People seem to avoid you as they are uncomfortable not knowing what to say or do. Yes it’s hard for them too, but it is harder for those dealing with cancer or the loss of a loved one. All they really need to do is be there for us.
Pat, I totally agree with you. I hate seeing those commercials. They generally only take cases that make their statistics look good. Also they make sure you either have a very good insurance that they accept or the means to self pay. They are for profit. If you have a rare cancer, one that does not have a very good cure rate or do not have the means to pay it seems they can not help you. They also spend a whole lot on advertising. As you said, if you are that good, people know.
Julie,
I am so happy for you. Thanks for sharing and yes, I feel it will give hope to others. Good news is always welcome. Go out there and enjoy this good life you have been given.
Hugs,
DarlaVictor, Thanks for letting us know how you are doing. Sounds like all went well. Now the healing begins. Take it slow & easy. The worst is over. And yes, take Marions advice on the pillow when coughing.
Gentle Hugs,
DarlaHi Sherry,
Glad you found this site and were able to post, but sorry you had a reason to. You have come to the right place for help, support and information. Yes, a diagnosis of CC is very life changing for all.
It sounds like everything is going well at this point except for the side effects which hopefully will be taken care of soon. There have been so many advances in treatment of this disease in the past several years and the fact that his was diagnosed Stage 1 is very positive.
I’m located in Plymouth, WI which is not all that far from you.
Look forward to hearing how he is doing.
Hugs,
Darla
