have been lurking for the last month simply because i have always bad news, a year and a halve ago my youngest tried to commit suicide (she's doing brilliantly now) then my other daughter had a negative smeartest and needed a partial hysterectomy (she's not out of the woods,yet) then when the june meetup my youngest daughter split up withn her boyfriend and she was heartbroken and obviously i didnt want to leave her, then the october meeting,, the day before leaving for dublin i got a call from my sis that dad (84) was in hospital with a double pheunomia so went to dublin airport instead to get a flight home.
now i heard that dad has lungcancer, willl know more next thursday, if it has'nt spread he'll have a good chance otherwise it's chemo and radiotherapy

a very sad draggy

:l to you draggy.

My dad is in his final stage of cancer at the moment.... I haven't been the 'happiest' in my posts the past couple of months. BUT the support I have received here has helped me HUGE!!

I cannot express how important it is to reach out for help. Everyone needs support. Good or bad. Please don't go through anything alone. You have tons of friends here. :h

My prayers that your dad's cancer has not spread and that your daughter makes a full recovery. xo

I understand what it's like to lurk Draggy. Sometimes you don't want to share because you don't think you're bringing anything good to the table. I certainly lurk more than post because I don't want to bum anybody out who's doing well with their issue.

I'm sorry you're going through that double trauma. That can't be easy for you. Sending you virtual hugs and wishes for a good outcome.

xx

We're going through the same thing. My FIL has stage 4 lung cancer. He's had 2 rounds of chemo to no avail. Now he's on oxygen 24/7, hospice is involved, and we're all just waiting.

Cancer sucks. We all just need to be here/there for eachother. We're not alone...

oh draggy hugs to you darl. what a shithouse year you've had. here's hoping 2011 will be better. it's good that your daughter who tried suicide is going better, healing vibes to your other daughter with the medical issues ( i'm in to have all my stuff out in Jan but they don't suspect any malignancy), & as for your dad, well, that's a shit too - deal with it as best you can. The big C strikes so many, all the time. An old fella in our town (a stalwart of the community,really) has been dignosed with liver,lung & somewhere else tumours, & has been given max 6 months. It must be very tough to have that time frame. There's a song from a yank C&W singer called "Live Like You Were Dying" which is an amazing song if you care to google it & listen.....
hang in draggy please.:l

Oh Draggy, I feel for you. And I know what it is like to feel like you dont want to post because it is all negative. But that is the time that you most need to do it and just say what you feel and let it all out. I had about 18 months where I felt like I was seeking everyone's indulgence. Life is crap sometimes and it isn't always about alcohol either. But this is the best place I know of to find an empathetic ear. Wishing you courage and resilience :l:l

Draggy I am very sorry to hear your terrible news. Please dont ever think you cant post because of bad times, we all have times ups and downs in our lives. In my experience it is in times of trauma that we most need the support of our friends here in order to help stop us from falling into the bottle, a coping response that most of us have learned over many years of abuse.
Always here for you Draggy.
Keep safe
