hello my friends-i am too weak to type correctly. God has been good to me again. I had gotten out of Lake Forest on 9/24, and on9/29 I went to my doctor's office to get my first chemo. while there I became very short of breath and was sent by ambulance to Condell. I just got discharged Thurs. I have to get 20 outpatient radiation treatments--I have 14 left. I was breathing with one lung. They're trying to shrink the tumor so that I can have some relief in breathing. I feel terrible, but I'm alive. My throat is raw so I have to be very careful of what I eat. I had 7 doctor's working on me. I ended up in ICU and the doctor told my family that I had a 50-50 chance of survival but God broke the tie. I've thought about all of you. I was told things were going to get worse but I'm not afraid. I have visiting Nurses and will have my own personal "bath" person. well, with God's help I'm going to fight this fight so that the devil will continue to be a LIAR
