LUNG CANCER LIFE:

Welcome back my faithful loyal readers.My delay in writing is good news. I have survived another summer,and have enjoyed every minute of it.I postponed all my doctor appointments,(which you shouldn't do),and decided that I would stay worry free for a few months.I still have my bad days and the pains get bad now and again ,but the diagnosis the doctors give me,make me worse. It truly seems that when I think I have one situation of my problems fixed another pops up.I am falling apart a little at a time.

I have had a few set backs the last couple months.I developed pneumonia and had to go to the hospital a couple of times.I was lucky and with some medicine for my emphysema,and an antibiotic for the pneumonia I was pleased that I did not succumb to total respirat...
