In July of 2007, a young reporter/ photographer took an interest in my journey with Lung Cancer. There is an update in the Sunday Nov 23,
Waterbury Republican - American newspaper about my continuing fight with this disease and my Cancer Journey. The article is entitled" I'd Like to Keep Breathing"
Addendum: To see the article and slide show go to Waterbury republican - American newspaper web site. Open 2nd one down. Waterbury Republican - American.com Sunday, Nov 23, 2008. In search box on upper right enter ( marie Tyrrell) This should bring you to the article and multi media slide show. Click on the pictures on left to hear and see media slideshow. I think you can add comments if you like.

Best to all and Happy Thanksgiving from MarieT and Paul

Marie,
Hello friend, I live in Middlebury...I just read the article and also visited the site for the audio. I am writing this with free falling tears and watched the audio journel and just fell apart. Not with total sadness but a mix of so many emotions. You are an inspiration, you are a soldier, you are truly a survivor.
My mom has been at the Lever Center for treatment for stage 3A lung cancer. (she was there on monday's) for six weeks. She finished four weks ago.
I am so sorry to hear you lost Dr Alphano (spellings a guess) . Mom and I heard such wonderful stories about this special doctor and friend, which he was to his staff and patients. The article was one of the most moving stories I have ever read in the Waterbury Paper. You really put everything into perspective, you inspired others to live on... yet I can't help but sit here and not cry. God Bless you Marie. Thankyou for sharing!!!

Marie, you inspire me so much. GOD bless you and your loved ones. I was diagnosed about 8 months ago, and it has not been easy. Did chemo, and radiation, now they want to do more chemo. as if it is the only answer. I dont know if they know, weird that the people who supposedly know the best, dont know much. Keep me informed, god bless!!!!!!!!!!!
