Vicky,

I sent a post earlier but the space monkeys must have gotten it again. Those fellas just lay wait for me. I keep them well fed!

I want you to know that you have been on my mind and in my heart all day. I, along with others here, know how you felt after leaving the doc's office. Sometimes they just have to be brutally honest but that doesn't mean we take thier word over God's will. He knows our time and he will take care of us until that time.

Please don't give up. Fight with all your intelligence and strength. Look forward to Christmas, then start looking forward to next Christmas.

Remember that we love you and are pulling for you too.

Hugs,

Dearest Vicky, I know with all you have been through you are over whelmed but you DO KNOW where your strength comes from.

This smoking thing is quite the fight also....but necessary. You will not have a chance to fight this monster while smoking. Smoking does take your strength and BREATH. I know you can do it. give your self a gift and quit. If I did it I know you can. I smoked for 40 years. and when I was Dx I made up my mind and just did it. hardest thing I ever did but I am so proud.

You are in my prayers keep the faith.

Love and Prayers, Peggy 9/04 ipf

Joy,

Thank you for your email and support, that means more than you

realize. Funnything is, when I had my lung biopsy, I quit smoking for

12 days and didnt really miss it. So I can do it again, I'm gonna

fight!!!!!

Love in Christ,

Vicky

HI Vicky,You can quit!!!! My dad quit when he was dx...the doctor's told him no medicine could make him feel as good as quitting smoking. He has been cigaretter free for one year on the 15th, and he is so proud of it, as we are so proud of him. YOu can do it...we are all here for you and routing for you! We want you around. Don't listen to that doctor...he doesn't know...only God does.Have a blessed day!Cyndi (DAD PF 12.05)Peggy wrote: Dearest Vicky, I know
