@shortshot80 Hi Nancy,
I'm so happy that you are with us on Connect again. Yes, Colleen did share with me that you were having some problems and had broken your hip. I'm glad that you are back home now.
The one year anniversary of your husband's death must have been difficult for you. I'm glad to hear that you are slowly getting better. You are an amazing person with a strong and determined spirit!
I was thinking about your book and wondering if you were finishing it yet. I'm sure your family will be so happy once it is published! Is it a history of your family and your faith?
I hope your CAT results are good on Wednesday.
I look forward to hearing from you again soon! Blessings to you.

Tereasa/ (Nancy-shortshot) Good Morning all, CT results tomorrow and I will let you know. My book is in the last stages before printing. I just have to get it in "the right time line" When I was talking and my friend typed, I did not think of the year and I just put things in the right order. So am working on that now. Memories are at times all mixed up. Anyway it's a start. I want to get this done. It is a beautiful day today and my youngest son is out in the ocean fishing. He fished yesterday also and we had fresh cod for dinner last night. He also put crab pots out yesterday so hopefully we will have a crab salad tonight too. Also with fresh strawberries and sliced tomato will make a great dinner. Don't know if you remember me talking of my granddaughter's husband with the horrible rare cancer he had in his sinus' cavity, anyway he had gone through a rough series of chemo and everything, anyway he is cured and doing well. They are trying to have a baby. They may have to use the frozen sperm. Not sure yet. Also the cancer was behind his left eye and now his vision is coming back, praise God on that and being cured of the cancer. More later..... Nancy

@shortshot80 - Good morning. I'm a Mentor for Mayo, mainly for Lung Cancer/Health. I also dig into depression and anxiety too. I am a 22 year survivor of lung cancer. I have Multifocal Adenocarcinoma of the lungs. I've had chemo and SBRT.
I've had 22 years and many more CT scans.
I have read some of your history and am very glad that you are back here with us. Losing a husband is something that I can't imagine. You've had a very rough time with losses and different cancers. Being treated for 2 different types of cancer must be incredibly draining. I don't know how you've done it.
I started a blog a year ago about my personal journey. This helped me with fighting my way out of PTSD. So far I've done ok with it. I'd like to share it with you. https://my20yearscancer.com/.
I know that your book is about your family. In all of the grieving that you've had to do on top of your husband's passing have you found that your writing has been cathartic?
Best of luck with your new CT scan tomorrow and your other tests.
