Dear Diana - it's very natural to feel devastated. and low at a time like
this - that's not a sign of weakness - it's only human and a natural reaction
to this very difficult time in your lives. I too get really upset
sometimes, but then try to shake it off and go forward and think positive
and keep the faith. Know that we're all here to support you and hold
your hand as best we're able...take care of yourself. Love. Cori

dear lillianRodney
has cancer in both lungs and brain and probably in the adreanal gland.
He won't eat much of anything because he feels stuffed all the time.
He's very weak and is on oxygen all the time. He does'nt want to
take anymore chemo and no more tests. I have to respect his wishes.
Diana

weak you say? Dear Heart, caregivers and cancer folks are never weak,
infact they are very strong people....sorry to hear about Rodney and you
know I understand. I do the same as Nancy, if I get frustrated I
go outside and yell my lungs out and it really works. What chemo
is Rodney on? Have you thought of Statin Is. Hos.? Are you
doing complementary meds. in support of traditional? Pls. e-mail
me and get me updated friend. Love you, lillian

anyone, I need to vent or I will explode.
Rodney went to the oncologist on Monday and his x-ray showed more
cancer showing up in his other lung now. He was diognosed in May
98 with nsclc. He also has mets to the brain. He is so down
and so am i. I feel like I did when we first found out he had cancer
devastated. I don't like feeling like I am not in control.
At work I am learning a new job and with trying to cope with Rodney's illness
I just lost it. I took a few days off work to get myselt settled.
It's so much easier to help someone else than it is youself and I don't
like to feel weak. Diana
