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

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

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

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
