Joicy,
You are right. I keep telling myself it is ok to go through these feelings of
anguish and fear. And once I did that, my friend and I marched right out to a
pay phone to call the radiologist's office about getting copies of CT scan.
Once in motion, it took the edge off. I keep telling myself I will live and
beat this damn thing. But then there are those moments when fear consumes me.
My friend nancy who has breast cancer which metastasized to her liver was
given 6-12 months to live in November. Originally they did not even want to
remove part of her liver but she was adamant about it. They took part of her
liver and gallbladder in April. Once done, they told her the chemo had been
working better than they thought, her liver only had 1 tumor instead of 3.
Last night I told her that I will not give in until they tell me I am a goner.
She replied that even when they tell you, you are a goner, don't believe them.
9 months later she is going strong. Her point, stay strong and take charge.
Thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement. And again, here's to
Ichtycoo Park.......
God bless you,
Donna
