Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Oh Courage, Consider this a great big hug. I will say a prayer for you. You're right you really have had enough. You don't need any more. Try to be optimistic. Gwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 You will always have prayers from this direction Courage. I'm sure that you didn't get the moniker Courage for nothing. You may have to dig deep into your reserves, but I know that you have it. You can get through. *hugs* KD > Hi All, > > Remeber how I had to be rushed to the emerg the other night? Well, I got a call from the hospital earlier tonight asking me to come in for a CT scan. Apparently, they have found a lesion on my right lung.....just bleeping great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > Of course my first thought was the big C and I pumped the doctor for more information. He said he couldn't rule out cancer and would be in touch with me to have the CT scan. > OK, now I'm really freaking out because I went on the net to learn more about lesions on the lungs and sure enough it all leads to cancer.......oh my God!!!!!!!!! Even with the best result there is only an additional 5 years after treatment and only 14% of people with lung cancer actually get the extra five years. > I wasn't so panicked earlier today, I suppose I was in shock but I am freaking out now. Of course I had to find out whats what on the net and the news was horrific. > I don't think I can take anymore of this health crisis stuff with me or my family. Haven't we been through enough already????????? > Ok, now I'm crying....because I'm afraid. I'm afraid of getting bad news, of having to go through painful treatment, of only being given 5 extra years if treatment goes well and of eventually dying....I'm not ready yet, I'm only 41. > Can I be really selfish here and ask that you all say some prayers for me and send me all your positive thoughts. Sure wish I had some of you here with me right now to cry with. I could use a big hug about now. > Courage > > Please follow this link to learn more about Lewy Body Dementia > http://www.lewybodydementia.org > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Oh, my dear Courage!!! Life has really handed you more than your fair share this past year or so. But DON'T give up hope!! There are so many cases of doctors passing along bad information, making dire prognoses that never do come true, etc. Take one day at a time right now, as today's about as much as you can handle. God will carry you through this trial, no matter where it leads. And know that you have friends here that will go down this road with you as well. Hugs, > Hi All, > > Remeber how I had to be rushed to the emerg the other night? Well, I got a call from the hospital earlier tonight asking me to come in for a CT scan.
