Hey everyone -
I know its been a while since I posted. I just figured I'd drop in and say hello and hope that everyone is doing well.
I've been going through alot lately (healthwise) - and have been so worried (I always think the worst!!), so I'm going on Monday for the report of my latest surgery (I have melanoma) and I'm really scared. Of course, I've surfed the computer on everything there is to know about melanoma and this mole that I had and was supposed to go LAST November to get it checked out - that was before all the other crap happened with my accident, etc.....so, of course, I put it off (I always procrastinate, of course not when it was time for my drs. appt to get my painkillers!!!) Isn't that a b****? I'm not so much afraid for myself as I am for my children, since their father just passed away last year. Anyway, enough about that!!!
This cancer thing has been a real wake up call for me. I know when I was abusing the pills, I was probably malnourished, since sometimes I wouldnt even eat for a couple of days!!! But now, (well, to be honest, I was getting back up there again, before I got this news), so I'm trying to ween myself down. My dr. is going to send me again to pain mgmt to see if there is anything else they can do. I've been going to the chiropractor 3x a week, and now I have to go back to the neurosurgeon for his final report. He had already told me that I would have to go to pain mgmt. But, then again he asked me if I wanted him to prescribe me oxys, since he could see from all the MRI's, etc. the pain that I was in. I told him NO. I'm taking alot of vitamins and herbs and trying to eat right.
Didnt mean to babble on about my problems - I've missed all of you and hope everyone is doing good.
I know one thing - we ALL have to stick together on this disease. If someone tells you something you dont want to hear - then dont take the advice. But, I for one, know that there are so many people on this board who have come such a long way and I am so proud of every one of you.
My love to all......God bless,
Love,
Marie

Hi Marie, gosh you've been missed. I think of you all the time and wonder how you're doing. I'll keep you in my prayers and trust all will be fine for you. I heard somebody the other day say "fate owes me one", I'd say fate owes you one too.
I know you've struggled so hard, I'll share your joy with you when the day comes that you make it. Take care and know you're loved, Kat

hiya marie -
it's so good to read a message from you. your voice has been missed and when you speak, it strengthens this family by one. i'm so sorry to read about the melanoma diagnosis - yet you walk through it. the energy require to actually put one foot in front of the other and keep walking on down the road, regardless of the setbacks and pitfalls we face, takes a whole lot of courage.
i stand back in awe of the courage that is within you that enables you to keep walking. you bring hope and for that i am grateful.
hugs and tons of encouragement to you -

I'm glad your back too. I missed you alot. I was gone for quite awhile and your the first one I looked for when I came back.
I'm always here for you as are many. Get ahold of me ok? Love you, Roe xoxoxox

best of luck to you marie. prayers sent your way>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Marie,
My prayers R with U! I hope all works out for the best.
I would like some info that might help my Aunt who has the same battle you have... could you please tell me what Pain Rx regimine U-R on? What pills do you take? Does your Dr. ever try to make you feel like a drug addict when you go in needing Pain Rx? Mine does! How many pills and what is the mg. per pill you take? Have you ever tried other pain pills? And the most important question: Does what you take help any w/ your pain? Please know that I appreciate your taking time to respond.
God Bless,
Lee

Everyone -
Thanks so much for all of your prayers and good wishes. I will Email you guys (Sharon, Roe - damn girl, I've missed you!!!! - I lost your # too cuz I lost my cell and had to get a new one!!!).
To whoever asked about the pain meds (sorry, I cant remember your name right now and cant go back to look) - I'm still on percs - and no, my dr. never got me addicted, I got myself addicted - although he did dispense them every month whenever I asked. But the neurosurgeon (for my spine) did offer to prescribe oxy's and thank God I had the willpower to say NO WAY.
Roe, I know that you got off of those things (thank God) - how are you doing otherwise? Are you still on the 15 mg? I will email you my # - my email is purplerain062@yahoo.com -
Cowgirl, you've always been such a doll. I've been reading alot of post and you have been quite the peacemaker lately. So, we'll have to leave the peacemakers job to you and Kat (hey Kay - love ya) and me and Sharon will be the bitches LOL (you know I'm J/K /Sharon) not!!!!! haha
I'll keep you guys posted and pray that I get a good report on Monday.
Love to you all,
Marie
