Re: hi to all, I am a new member and newly diagnosed....()

I've had so many surgeries in the past 4 years, that I only started to

feel back to some semblence of normalcy in February of this year. Then

I had to have a further surgery 5 weeks ago, but it turned out to not

be as major as they thought. I have some pain only when I stretch or

if I lean forward. I am restricted in what I can wear now. Nothing

that does up comfortably around my waist anymore, must be loose

fitting as the slightest pressure causes pain.

But if I can go to the park and push my daughter on the swing, or

spend 1/2 to a whole day at the shops without getting tired and

hurting, then I am doing very good.

Hopefully no more tumours for at least 12 months....

,

My you have had quite a bit done, been thru a lot. I am 41yrs. old, not a

young person, but young at heart. I can honestly say, now that with my

surgeries, just in May, have taken alot more of me then what was expected.

Althougth, its not easy, I am doing rather well, despite many obstacles. I am

alone, and have to depend on family long distance and married friends who have

many other things to do, then me asking for help. so I make do with what I can,

and have done well. My friends and family are there when I need them, and now

have taken steps to make sure I have help in my time of surgery as well as

making out a living will now. I just did this today. Making out the Living

Will was important and that I hope it never gets used, but as I have learned,

life can go quickly and almost loosing it, made me put some other priorities in

my life first, instead of waiting til I have more time to do so. I am going to

be working on my will next. I hope I get this done before Oct.

of this year. I have little to give, but the thought of how much I already

give to the state, they don't need anymore!!! Pa get enough of my money in

every tax one can think of!!!

I do wish you well in you feeling better. I realize there are good and

bad days. I wish you more of the good days. Being with your family is

important, even when you are not feeling well, its still nice to be with them.

Your daughter will remember, even if she may not realize how you don't feel

well. It shows how strong you are, and she will see that someday as an adult.

I wish you a good day as I am almost done work here soon. I have to get

some errands done, take care and enjoy your day, even if its raining.

later........AMber
