Hello to all my CSN Friends

Jeff went to the oncologist today, it was one year ago this month that we started visiting the oncologist, wow what a journey it has been, Jeff and I have been through so many BUMPS, AND HURDLES through this journey that it is so amazing how things have worked. I learned so much in our beginning months of this ugly beast. Jeff was an amazing man, he stuck through everything through thick and thin, I stuck with him through chemo, hair loss, ugliness, tempers, crys, surgery, recovery, and now doctors appts. if someone would have told me that he would go through all these stages I would have probably called them a liar, but knowing what I know now, I am not ashamed walking this journey. Cancer is an awful disease, and I am more involved in the Cancer network than I have ever been involved before, and so has Jeff.

The doctor told us today that not too many people turn out this well, as its a progressive growing cancer and comes back in a heartbeat, but he is one of a kind and with me being so persistent in the beginning is what got this fight going so soon.

We had a special person on this site, KITTEN0385 she has now went on to make a home with GOD, but this person, was so deliteful and very informative of this disease, you see she was only 23 when diagnosed she overcame the disease and was in remission, but unfortunately in August of 09, it returned and took over her body,
and she lost her battle with EC, she was one great woman, and how all of us has missed her since her passing in November of 09. We learned so much from her and she never ever gave up, even to her last day, she just wouldn't ever think that this beast was going to take her to heaven, but unfortunately it did.



This person is the reason Jeff is still going, cause without her I think he would have gave up.

Would I do this again, YES I would, no matter what kind of cancer it was cause I feel once you walk a journey with a cancer patient you can walk any road of cancer.

I want each and every one of you all to know how much you have helped me through my difficult times, in my life, without Bill and Loretta Marshall I couldn't have done it, he guided me through days I just didn't think I could go no more. I remember the days Jeff was in ICU and not expected to live, I posted something and he gave me hope. The days that went into nights he was there for me. ( if any of you all want to read my posts go back to May 09 when I first started but the real journey began in July 09 during surgery)

I am here to help each and every one of you if you need help. I so want to believe that we can fight this disease.

Of course Jeff has to go in every 3 months for scans, but the doctor said as long as he gets good reports he is good.

I want to wish everyone a blessed life and keep on fighting this disease.

take care

Love Lori aka MOE
