  Hey there--Thanks for your comments, I keep thinking once I get my pain kicked out of the way, then I can really foucs on what I had planned on since Dad passed--American Cancer Society and political actions as to why funding for Lung Cancer is the lowest funded cancer out there, and it is the #! cancer of both men and women. I know there are some incorrectly stigmas to Lung Cancer--I was shocked at how many people commented on my Dad's smoking--yes, he did smoke, but he was also exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam which helped it along--but more then that: NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO SUFFER FROM CANCER IN THIS COUNTRY WHERE HAVE THE BEST DOCTORS, THE BEST RESEARCHES, AND THE BEST SCIENTISTS ALL READY TO GO, B/C AT THIS POINT DOESN'T EVERYONE KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD CANCER? SOME WHO MADE IT, THANK GOODNESS, BUT SO MANY OTHERS LOST--it is absolutely shocking and unbelievable--so many of these people could have been spared, possibly. Don't get me wrong--I am a firm believer that when it is your time to go, it is your time--but in today's world with our technology, no one should loose a battle against any disease that we have plenty of funds to figure out the battle plans. There are just lots and lots of things I have come across, and AMC has tried their best and still do, but they cannot do it alone. More then anything, information just needs to get out there that we are all at risk for some type of cancer in our lives due to the everyday regular world we live in, and we have doctors and scientists and genectisits who have stated they know they can find cures/treatments to halt the diseases, if they only had the funds. And from my understanding from AMC, we do have funds that are tied up in paperwork and red tape?? At this point, so many of us have been affected by cancer in one way or another, so in my thoughts--I am thinking we sort have an emergency on our hands that is being treated like a toothache. I will get off of my soapbox now...LOL--my pain is still gone!! I have four more days before my next treatment, I am taking this doctor a box of candy--the least of what she deserves, the woman is a genius. How are you coming along? Grieving is such a horrible feeling to deal with: once you have to deal with it, I think most of us would rather be hit with a baseball bat a few times whether then to feel such an intense and painful emotion. What I keep saying over and over in my mind--is this saying that I found in a grief book shortly after Dad passed--and it said something to the affect "Wouldn't you have still choosen to know/love this person, and have had them in your life, if you were told at your birth or their birth that on)e would be gone at a way too young age:. (my Dad was 58)--and my thought was absolutely--another man in the world could not have been my father as well as mine was--he was the best of the best, and the pain is worth the time and laughter and love that I received from him all my life". I know you lost your brother, but I think this saying just really makes people stop and think about the person lost and how blessed we were, and honored we were, to have had them in our lives. I hope you doing ok, I was glad to hear your response, and I was wondering about you the other day when I was counseling several siblings over the loss of another, so very very hard to go through, it has been over three years at this point for me, and I still have many issues to work on so I can remember the good times and "life" before cancer, so to speak. I'd love to hear back from you, and see how you are doing??? Take care.
