I have probably spelled those wrong and I am okay with that.

Right, so, updating on stuff I said I would keep updated. I do have lung cancer. It is stage 3, this is not good news. I am okay and plan to stay that way. I refuse to be defeated by a group of cells that decided they could deactivate their mitochondria and essentially become immortal. No, absolutely not. Fuck that.

Treatment will be radiation, chemo and a lot of fruits an veggies. FYI, I hate bananas. I am eating them anyway, but I really, REALLY hate bananas.

If you ever want STS to host your files in Yahoo groups, let me know. We are more than willing to take help take any simming burden off your shoulders if the need arises. My positive thoughts are with you! Ginnie

I've been racking my brains trying to think of the perfect comforting thing to say, but there just isn't any. So I'll just say that you have all my love and all my hugs and if there's anything I can do to help, I'll do it.

Hope this isn't too forward coming from a virtual lurker but...

((((You))))

That... that stinks. Seriously.Normally saying "if there's anything I can do..." is kinda stupid. I mean, I'm not some hotshot pathologist or oncologist. But I do have a lot of vegetarian recipes in my repertoire, and if you are looking for ways to enjoy stuff you normally don't like but are forcing yourself to eat anyway, I may actually be able to help.

(One thing I do know: thick viscous liquids like strained prunes, applesauce or... say... mashed bananas are often used in low-fat baking as a way of cutting back on oil. If the fruits can be cooked without killing the stuff you need from them, that may be a way to enjoy those bananas.)

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you have that to deal with.

Are you eating the bananas for potassium? If so, here's a list of high potassium foods: you might like them better. If it's for something else, feel free to ignore me!

Here's my best wishes for you, and stay feisty!

Oh lovely....I'm sorry to hear that, but your determination is amazing, to be honest. I wish there was something I could do to help. :3

Oh no, we don't want that. :( I will be keeping you in my thoughts, and praying, insofar as I still know how. I believe God still hears non-Christian prayers. Keep your friends and family close.

I really don't know what else to say, other than I hope it gets better. It will get better. I'll believe it for you.

:( Will be keeping you in my prayers, hun. It will get better. Smile and stand tall, don't let the buggers beat you :)

I don't blame you on the bananas. Bleh, but they're good for you... yeah, I'm showing my mom colors. hehe

[radioredrafts.livejournal.com]

Just a thought: maximize the veggies and minimize the fruits. If you're fighting cancer, you don't want to feed it with sugar.

*hug* at least you're willing to fight the good fight and not give in. Hats off to you my friend :3

I am so sorry. Bananas suck and I hate them too. Blech! Berry-banana smoothies are delicious though.

As for cancer, fuck it. That's right, fuck cancer. I'll be rooting for you on that fight, never give up!

I knew you had a medical condition, but I had no idead it was anything like this. You have a great outlook, continue to be strong. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts. BTW, I hear ya on the bananas. Banana smoothies can be quite delicious though.

Fuck. That was my first reaction and I think that pretty much sums it up. With your attitude I truly believe you will be okay, although I'll be sending you positive thoughts all the same.

Take care, and better yet, let others take care of you too!
