Dear Karen8,
YOU are THE sunshine in this, a day of gloom. Living alone, after raising a family, now allows me to just SIT if necessary. I count my blessings to be able to prepare meals and do other basics. Like many of us in this situation, the world sees me smiling while breathlessly exhausted and sad inside because a rare incurable cancer is also present. I focus on my nine year old granddaugther saying that I am "seventy-nine and HOLDING." Alas, it's the "holding" part that is difficult, but no one else knows that.
Hence, one of the incredibly valuable aspects of everyone on this site is having friends near and far wherever they are." THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Hugs 4-ev-ahhh! Donnie46

Donnie - wow ! I needed to hear that this morning - I’m so glad if it comforted YOU 🙂 I am so sorry to hear about how you and all on this site are suffering…. I live with my fiance who has LC 4 1/2 years and it’s just terrible…. Not to mention 2 weeks ago he contracted ocular shingles ….. his system being g so depleted as it is ….. he tries to keep a positive attitude - but I know the truth - he is so beyond tired and feels this will beat him , I can see him “ fading “ esp since the pain of shingles … Thank God for his faith - it gets him through .
I like what your granddaughter told you - what a sweetheart ! I hope your inner sadness is lifted today - if even for awhile . I do not have this illness but I am sick inside with worry for him .🦋
