Traveling Down The Road

Exploring the world of different foods and different styles of cooking can be a frightening experience. But experimenting with new types of recipes has always been a hobby of mine. Only now I'm doing it to improve my health and try to maintain that health while I walk down a new road.

I battled Ovarian in the past. I haven't been secretive about that battle. But this week, I was diagnosed with small cell localized lung cancer. While giving up cigs has been hard, the realization that my family would be giving me up if I didn't is a harder slap to the ego.

I'm lucky enough to be blessed with a very supportive husband. He is the joy of my life and he makes every day worth waking up. But the pain and fear that went into that man's eyes when the doctor brought us into her office to give us the test results is something I never want to see again. EVER again. We have already been through so much with each other. To think that together, we are facing a bigger battle than either one of us thought we would be facing, I have hope because I have him.

Friends are good, they are there to keep me company when he can't take off work, but it's Mr. Panda's hugs every night when he comes home from work is what makes every moment count.

I only hope that every one else finds the same happiness I have.

Thanks for sharing your positive thoughts here. I wish you and Mr P all the best. I know how hard it can be to give up the cigs, but no one would have believed I could do it, and I did.
 
i'm sending you hugs ms. panda--and love. keep us posted how you're doing and if you need anything.
 
You are very lucky to have Mr. Panda, and it sounds like he is very lucky to have you, too.

Have someone to love and to love you back makes the fighting worthwhile. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
