Thank you all for the supportive comments during this difficult "bump in my road". It's amazing that I made it through without a tear. I hate to think I'm becoming used to these "bumps".
I'm anxious to meet with the radiation oncologist about radiation to help with the coughing. My upper left lobe is collapsed, which causes the cough and shortness of breath. The oncologist must decide whether too much time has gone by since the collapse to help the problem. If not, Dr. Sandler is not sure what else to do to relieve my cough which is definitely a quality of life issue for me.
Claudia came for brunch and a good visit today. I actually had a good day today (I'm sure the company helped). I felt emotionally stronger, and until tonight didn't do a lot of coughing.
Love and gratitude......Linda

I love you!
I know it's been a while since I stopped by but you know that you are always in my heart and I love you dearly. Kelly and I will see you soon. Stay strong.
Linda, always good to hear your voice. Too much time has NOT gone by. What a silly notion. If he hesitates, you just explain it him in words of one syllable. It should be fixed. So there!
Off to see Mom in Tampa for a week but I'll be peaking in late at night. East Coast time.

Keep speaking your piece, your mind, your intentions, your beliefs, your peace -- and I'm betting the cough will subside. I see you as a steady gentle light getting stronger and stronger each day. I see the lung gently inflating, your breath coming easier, and the tumor keeping to its current boundaries as it prepares to leave you. You've learned its lessons, if you will, and it's time for you to heal and time for it to leave. You are renewed and refreshed each day with all the love and support around you. And you are healing with every new sunrise.
Wrapping you in that eternal cocoon of golden light and energy of healing and love and peace.

Wonderful day for me. I enjoyed the food and loved the conversation and visit! I just am amazed (have I said this before?) at how strong you are in all ways. I think that is the seceret to your success. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Have learned my lesson and will not leave town for a week and have no access to the blog - it has my head spinning!
OK, so what we know for sure is that there is a new plan to seek out the radiation and then on to a new round of chemo - that sounds like a perfect plan and much more logical than the uncertainty of trials!
All righty then, let's get this caravan moving on out to the next steps. You have our love, support and momentum behind you -
Love and a big hug!

If the love and support of friends and family could compltely heal you today, it would be done. You have been such an inspiration to me of these years and wish all our prayers would make you well. I love you dearly my friend. Thank you for sharing will all of us. I pray your cough will improve soon. Love to you and Dave. Judy
