Happy Halloween 2009? ... Stage IV NSCLC

0 Recommendations

It's hard to imagine a single event that can turn a person's world and inner being upside down, inside out and topsy/turvy more quickly then when one hears those cancer words - malignant and metasticized. Well, having now experienced it ... it SUCKS! Tears flowed, my body became numb and the voices in the room seemed to fade away. I was unable to process what I was being told. My mind and body became reminiscent of the old rag doll "Raggedy Ann". The two oncologists (hemotology/radiology) laid out the treatment plan and continued to speak with family that had accompanied me. Treatment would be agressive and begin the next day.

This was two weeks ago.

So ... today ... from "Raggedy Ann" here ... to all you ghosts and goblins out there ... wishing you a HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2009!
