Anne Marie 07

I just wanted to say that we are all waiting anxiously with you and I am happy you have changed from life sux to "And life goes on ..." Cuz that my friend it does !!!!

Sharlee

Yeah...when the dr called today I hit him with alot of questions and he said pretty much what you said.

He changed the PET Scan from thursday to Monday so that he could see me right after and we can talk at length.

I told him I didn't think I could mentally handle this and he said I can. Guess he's heard this many times. I'm still scare to death about what i'm going to have to go through and am still trying to find a way out.

Yeah..I figured I'd change my signature

Hey Lee. Excellent advice. I don't even know you but I'm proud of you. It's amazing how powerful love can be. Especially when a youngster is involved. I would have never dreamed that I'd be free from the chemicals. I've been nicotineless for a month now, after twenty years of continuous use. Anne Marie 07, if I can do it, you can do it. Personally, I'm using the people on this forum, especially you Lee, prayer and the love of my children to quit and so far its working. I guess my point is don't try to do it by yourself. Find strength from whatever you need. Be it God, that little girl, anything. Stay with this forum. You'll find these people are truly blessed and willing to help all that come. Lee, holler at me the next time you're in E. TN maybe we can take our boys fishing 865-435-5305.

Anne Marie 2007, I'm just so happy to see the new signature. Kit I'll keep that in mind the next time I make a trip that way.

Anne Marie 2007 we just give each other hope from day to day and some day I may need you to help me see past my fears. That's what all of us do is share hope and that makes cancer survivors out of us. I'll be looking for your posts in currently in treatment. Good Luck. Lee

I went all the way down Monday, sat in the waiting room and they came out to tell me the machine broke down.

I have to go for the PET Scan tomorrow and a CT of my neck. I think they said something about a mask.

Naw guys, I ain't gonna make it through this. I'm a friggen wreck. I'm still smoking and am so depressed I can't think straight. I've become a walking bitch too.

Yeah..i'm taking one day at a time cause I can't handle anymore but my mind strays. I've even been too depressed to post.

Anne-Marie, you've got some "not so simple " choices to make here. You are 52 yrs. old [if you are being honest] and you could have alot of good life ahead of you. You've got a formidable disease to fight, which will take alot of guts, strength and courage. Or you can just quit. So please make a list of why it might be good to be on the "top side of the grass" rather than under it- you should get help with this part if your depression has taken total control of your thought processes-
You can Fight to survive or quit and say "so long"

You have a Medical team who is prepared to fight for you and there is a Superbowl sized football stadiun full of people here who will support you if you choose to fight . Should you choose the alternative, some of us can help you with that part also. Amy in the Ozarks

JAM...thank you for the imput and I just read your signature. I'm so sorry for your loss

AM2007, You sign your post"And Life Goes On"? Then you need to live it. As Amy said you have more support here than you could imagine. Put the smokes down and find someone to help you. I walked away from a pack a day for 35 years when I was diagnosed back in October 06. This will not be easy by no means but it beats the alternative.

Every time you think of giving up ..just look at that beautiful daughter of yours....If you dont beleive you yourself are worth fighting for I am sure you beleive she is ! ANd you do have more support then you can ever imagine here! No one says it is going to be easy or a walk in the park..but anything worth havin ( LIFE) is sure worth fighting for ...All the "free" things in life ( death) aren't that great !
