Key - I'm so sorry for the diagnosis. I have two family members and a dear friend going through similar situations.
What has amazed me about you all (yes, I include you) is your attitude, which is pretty amazing.
I often wondered if I were given a dire diagnosis, would I keep living my recovery life and get the best out of every minute/hour/day or would I cave. You inspire me.
My greatest hugs and prayers are with you and all who love you (including all of us). Please know, we are more than willing to walk this path with you.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

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,

I am so sorry to hear this. I cant imagine getting this horrible news, but I am SO impressed and proud that you are staying so clear headed and not using over all this. I dont want to give you a clever cliche because they are annoying. I wish you blessings and love.

Oh Key, I'm so shocked and worried about you. I'm sure that I join everyone here at SR in a huge virtual group hug. We all are in awe of your courage and grace. I will pray of course, and I will not give up hope. The future is unwritten, and anything is possible, even things that seem impossible, and even the smartest people in the world can be wrong sometimes. Remember that only one person built the ark, but a whole bunch of professionals built the Titanic.
Thank you for telling us about your diagnosis. I'll be following your posts every day. I'm thinking of you surrounded by healing white hot light, and praying to God, asking for an army of angels to encircle you and bring you strength and health. With thoughts of love brave Key!
