My husband Mitch and I met in September 09, we married in March. We were so happy and were looking so forward to our life together. Just before Thansgiving we found out that Mitch had stage 4 lung cancer non small cell, I can not tell you the pain we both felt, God why now, we have just started our lives together. We are sole mates, what am I going to do if I loose him? Mitch told me he was going to beat it, God knows I wanted to believe him. He started his treatment the end of November, he recieved several chemo and radiation treatments, he was so sick. I quit my job and waited on him hand and foot, I told him I was his angel and that I loved him so much, I would rub his back and hold him every nite till he drifted asleep. At one point I was loosing hope. Mitch promised me he was not going to leave me. I prayed every day that God would cure him, we were told July 12 th 2010 that Mitch is in remission. God does answer prayers. My advise to anyone that has been told they have lung cancer, do not give up! with love hope and faith you also can beat it.

Hi, I guess I don't post much, I am pretty busy with my family. I have 4 children that were never supposed to be born, since I was not supposed to survive, back in 1977. They are my miracles and from them there are now 3 more miracles. I always thought God kept me around just so I could contribute to this world by leaving a legacy of children to carry on his work. It kept me going through the worst of times. 2 years battling my emotions as much as the unseen "Cancer".
Now I have lived long enough that my parents have been dealing with there own Cancer problems, my Dad fortunately beat his prostate cancer, now my mom is dealing with Thymus Cancer, with no treatment. I finally have come full circle and can only now comprehend the pain they went through all those years ago with me. I don't now if time has eased my personal memories, but being the watcher, I am finding, is far more difficult than being the patient. I have never felt so tired of circles in life. Colette |
