In Memory of keyweird

I wanted to check in and, update my SR peeps about the status of my recent cancer discovery. I went to the oncologist this morning and was told the worst news possible. The tumors are everywhere, in my lungs, pancreas, adrenal gland, lymph nodes, stomach, kidney, thigh & leg bones. There is not anything that can be done. The Chemo that they can do is to try to control the pain with the lung cancer. But, there is actually so much & it's so aggressive, That it would be impossible to try to use chemo on it all. The treatment would kill me. I meet with the Oncologist on Monday & they asked that I bring my family so that they understand what's going on & what all we are & can try.
I've been numb for a few hours & Still don't believe this diagnosis.
It's all too true & all to scary.... But, Haven't thought that a drink would help once. Amazing that booze wasn't the first thing I wanted. The first thing I want is to stay strong, sober, eat healthy, & try with all my might to live everyday like the blessed gift I find it truly is!
Thank You all so much,
keyweird

Keywierd, I am new here today but wanted to let you know I will be praying for you and your family. I worked in healthcare for 15 years and no one will ever get used to a diagnosis like this. You sound like a very strong person who has their priorities straight. The fact that you never thought of picking up a drink shows how strong you are. Praying for peace and strength for whatever comes your way Keyweird.

It always saddens me when one of "us" here at SR receive terrible news such as this.

Key - you are a brave and strong person it seems. I'm proud that even in the face of such devastating news you are protecting your sobriety. Your honesty and strength will help me past any temptation to drink in the face of emotional tragedy. Thank you. You are an inspiration.

Bless you and your family during this most difficult time. I pray you maintain peace and serenity and enjoy the love and light that will be shared with you from your loved ones both at home and here at your cyberhome.
