Adenocarcinoma - newly diagnosed

Hi Merry! I, too, am sorry for your loss. My first husband passed from cancer in 1998. We were together 15 years and had 3 young children. Now this year I was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma. Had my LUL segmentectomy and small wedge and my second husband takes care of me when I have a surgery. We’ve been together 24 years so far. I, also, am too familiar with loss but WE seem to be strong people. YOU have been through a lot and yet, HERE YOU ARE! GOD BLESS YOU!

Cindy-There are a lot of ways to live through loss. Any loss, even organ loss, is a time to grieve although many people don't think about it that way.
I first began writing and then started a blog. I came to Connect because I felt that it was a good way to help other cancer survivors. Cancer is not an ingrown hair. It sucks, is hard to go through, it's tiring and mentally debilitating to a lot of people. And never mind the chemicals that are poured into us, one way or another! I felt like I was fair game for everything. How can I not share my struggles with others so they can have an easier time?
And yet here you are too! You can't compare my journey with others or even yourself. Mine has just been a bit longer but I'm sure that you have been through a lot of the same things that I have!
