Subject: [MOL] Our New Mol Angel Linda, from Nanc
>Hi again Linda,
>I would like to share the letter that I had sent to someone else, mostly to
>let you know more about my Don, Mother and me. There are parts in there
that
>don't pertain to your situation, so please ignore them. I hope that you
had
>a chance to see some of the faces that you are talking to in here, via the
>Mol Photo Album. If ever there is anything that I can help you with, just
>ask. We are family now, and we are so lucky to have so many tender,
loving,
>caring family members here, and you my dear are very welcome. Please enjoy
>your new found family. Here is the copy of the letter;
>
>My hubby is 73 and I am 59, he was dx'd March 24, 1998 with SCLC, was found
>cancer free Nov. 7, 1998. He goes for his 4 month check up next Mon &
Tues.
>He is still doing very well.
>
>You don't get cancer off your mind, you face it head on and deal with it,
you
>get in the drivers seat and take control. You don't let it beat you, you
>beat it. You don't dwell on when it's coming back, you plan ahead, and
know
>what you will do, and that is you will beat it again.
>
>I have Lupus, Asthma, Arthritis, 3 leaky valves in my heart, I'm not
jumping
>for joy having any of these things either, but I'm stuck with them. When
I'm
>sick I am really sick, my immune system sometimes gets like people on
chemo,
>I deal with it and I fight back, I was down in bed and so depressed and
>wanting to die from the pain at times, I small children at that time, so I
>decided to fight with every thing I had, I prayed, I won, and I have won
many
>battles in my life. I don't have cancer, but if I did I would fight that
too.
>
>When you start feeling sorry and afraid for yourself, is when you kick your
>own butt. Any battle for your life no matter what the illness is, is not
>easy and without pain, and your life is worth the fight. Love yourself and
>you'll heal yourself. I believe your body can heal itself, if given a
>chance. You have to stay away from stress, crying, feeling sorry for
>yourself, feeling scared, dwelling on leaving loved ones behind.
>
>Don and I have talked long ago, if the cancer comes back, what would he
want
>to do? His answer was, when the time comes, he'll again face it head on
and
>take control, and fight until he wins again, and again. I have 5 children,
>12 grandchildren. My 82 year old Mother lives with us and was supposed to
>have died almost 5 years ago, she is doing good.
>
>What you do is, love like you've never loved, live every minute to the
>fullest, do for others, do things you enjoy doing, stay possitive, and get
a
>death grip on hope and never let go of it. Just know that your cancering
>journey is a bouncy rollar coaster ride. We are here to help you over the
>bumps and to reach the top of the hill. We are here to love, hug and a
>shoulder to cry on. We are here to let you vent, and then help you pull
>yourself together again.
>
>I don't think there is anything more on earth I would want then MOL Angels,
>you my dear have found the most comfortable place to be, right here in this
>MOL Forum. God bless you and hang in here. Ask anything you wish, someone
>will answer you.
>Love, Hugs & Prayers to you and yours,
>Nancy Postema, better known to MOLs as (Nanc) (:-)
