Hi everyone, I have been getting e mails from you asking where i've been for the last few months......first of all, i feel awful for not doing the lunaversaries and anniversaries every day like i did for over a year....i really enjoyed doing that.........For people who don't know my history, I was diagnosed with lung and bone ca (arm) about 8 yrs ago,,,,,,,,they put a rod in my arm and then i had radiation to the arm....i also had chemo for 6 yrs......in 2002 the ca went to my brain, at that time, i had the gamma knife done, which was non invasive surgery.....fast forward to 6 months ago.....I'm doing okay, but the radiation to my arm has caught up with me......my arm and hand is getting very weak and i can't seem use my fingers due to the radiation distroying my nerves.......and my other hand due to using it alot has carpel tunnel........ Shocked Oh well, don't feel bad for me, i really am doing fine.....i have not forgotten everyone at woofmang and i do read the posts.....i will try to post more often .....thanks for caring........gail Very Happy Very Happy

Gail, you are a hero for having such a wonderful attitude when going thru such terrible ordeals! I hope you will regain use of your hand and arm.....can Physical Therapy help any? It can help with the carpel tunnel syndrome.....I had it, but got rid of it with therapy. The ca might effect that.

It was great to hear from you!! YOu are one of my best Quit Buds, and I often think of all the help you gave me. If there is anything I can do, let me know.

Thinking of you!!!
Hugs!!!!! Very Happy

Gail - I'm so glad you are mostly ok....I must admit I was keeping you in my prayers. Your challenges have been many - but you are such a survivor and I truly admire your positive outlook! Do what you can do...and don't worry about us here...
I hope your holidays are truly amazing!

Bless your heart, Gail, you sound like a fighter and a survivor to me.

We've never "met", but I like fighters and survivors.

Hang in there, Gail. Smile

Gail,

I admire you. I am also speechless as I did not know any of this before now. It is good to hear from you and that you feel fine in spite of the problems.

Hugs to you.
