Hello Peach 82: I really really appreciate you sharing your story. My story was very similar. My diagnosis after I left local hospitals and doctor and went to Mayo Clinic. My proper diagnosis with a CT Scan at Mayo Clinic was Non Small Cell Lung Cancer . After surgery and an amazing support team at Mayo,
I continue to follow up at this fantastic facility and am celebrating 12 years of survival. So, you are not a burden to me, we need more worriers like you. I
would love to stay in contact because you give inspiration with hope as a worrier! Happy New Decade ! Thank you again,

Thank you Linda as I really need all the encouragement I can get. I am now facing another big problem to correct the unstoppable bowel movements due to pelvic organ prolapse. Kind of old to have this corrected with an operation but: I live alone and do need to leave the house for friendship of any kind. (Cannot bring my commode with me to use at a moment's notice and with privacy). This is very embarassing even to write about it. Seems it never stops but sometimes things work out well as: I have been very, very cold even on 85 degree days with wearing three or four layers and at night, brrrr. I again wear many layers with three heavy covers. I do have hypothyroidism. Well I googled how to deal with this so: Reading "the soil is depleated from iodine and this can cause my being so cold". So I bought "thyroid support" with iodine and after about four days of taking these pillsI am not cold any more. Of course when I see my endochronogist again I will present this to her. Staying alive is a job. Perhaps doing all this helps to keep me alive (age 82). The doctors get very very tired of hearing about these problems and they do not want to be bothered with this. I have even had a doctor turn his back to me and leave the room. I know I will go to heaven but he will have to atone for this. Must shuss up now, to much is to much. Enjoy your day and dance a little.
