What brought you joy today?

Hiya I’m Dave I had my brain scan today they’re checking that my metastatic lung cancer hasn’t spread to the brain yet. In a break from chemo til 9/9 so we’ll celebrate wife’s BD on 9/7! 😀

As anyone had insomnia from medications mostly from prednisone ,can any one tell me how to solve this problem?

When I used to take prednisone I not only couldn’t sleep a wink, but I shook like crazy, heart palpitated and I felt horrible. My pulmonologist switched me to methylprednisolone and I didn’t have those issues but it was just as effective. Even though similar meds, he said people tend to tolerate one better than the other — different for each person. He was right! If it’s too late to switch this time, write down the name to try next time you need it. Hope that change works for you too.

Hello from Jerry,Had my left hip replaced on 9/04. Today no cane no pain.

I had my first sip of coffee this morning and experienced joy. The tree outside my window represents all the students I ever taught (fifty years) and I lift them up to God. They are a beautiful comfort to me during my cancer journey, three years so far and on chemo weekly. I love trees and the creatures that live in them. I have dedicated trees for all my family members as well…I am surrounded by love and beauty.

So beautifully said! I was also a teacher for 35 years and I can identify lifting all of my past students up to God. Wishing you complete healing.

Thank you for your kind words and good wishes. On the last day of school for all of my classes through the years I would tell my students that they were in a special group, “my former students.” Because of this status they would be prayed for every day.
