Sorry. That...I kno this is late but what a effin b. Sorry. That was rude, I guess. My mom got diagnosed w/ stage 4 cancer in her lungs almost 1 yr ago (she's not a smoker any more... but quit 10 yrs ago). They said its cancer that seems to not have started in her lungs... She goes to the V.A. needless to say she's had so many experiances like this. They still don't even know exactly WHAT kind of cancer it is... doesn't seem like anyone is trying to find out either. She doesn't even seem mad about it. It makes me annoyed. Why aren't they testing for everything??? They've switched her chemo 3 times... all 'lung cancer chemos' none that seem to work. Maybe its not lung cancer. But are they testing for it elsewhere...nope. I know God's in charge & everything (I really believe that) but wtf is up with doctors & the medical system these days?? Wow, that's a lot. Sorry. I'm sorry for your experiance, but happy everything's ok. I know you must've been super scared :(. <br /><br />I love reading your blog by the way. You sure have a way with words that sometimes make me smile, cry or plain old LAUGH OUT LOUD. Thanks for being a bright spot in my day ;).Heather Innusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16102289744697803313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472812438595483786.post-1554719379946500042011-05-24T18:27:18.499-04:002011-05-24T18:27:18.499-04:00just happened to stumble upon your blog. i like yo...just happened to stumble upon your blog. i like your words and the voice in which you say them in this post. glad to have found you.Ann Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634889119185791464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472812438595483786.post-70618154844682215252011-05-23T16:18:06.475-04:002011-05-23T16:18:06.475-04:00That makes me love the lady with the wing so much ...That makes me love the lady with the wing so much and hate it "there" for you too my darling....I am so sorry.

My OB is very old fashioned, will sit down and talk with you and tell you things, like "don't worry honey, everything will be alright." He will even call you back personally. I almost want to have another baby (ok maybe not) just so I can have a good dr. So rare...but the way it should be. Saying a prayer for you today!<br />xoxo trinala la Lovelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674963668309128850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472812438595483786.post-10298339521775359652011-05-21T10:50:43.931-04:002011-05-21T10:50:43.931-04:00I am sorry you're waiting.

What a crap way to spend the weekend. <br /><br />Maybe I've been lucky, but my kids pediatricians have always been awesome and understanding, of the kiddos pain and mine as a parent. What the hell happens? Why can't the doctors and nurses that deal with adults show the same level of basic care? <br /><br />GRRRRR.Erin O.http://www.todaysmama.com/erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472812438595483786.post-92063444664130026482011-05-21T09:54:39.190-04:002011-05-21T09:54:39.190-04:00Hugs!

You hear way too many stories like this of late, and I just, well, hate it.
