Farewell to DU, fight the good fight!
I have not posted anything for several months on the DU due to illness. I have lung cancer that has spread to the liver, kidney and adrenal gland and had no idea that I was even ill. I have never smoked, worked near asbestos, been exposed to second-hand smoke on a regular basis etc, etc. So in January when I was taken to the ER with abdominal pain this was quite a shock.

I had been heading up an activist e-mail group and have sent reams of letters to our Senators and Congressional Reps as well as signed numerous online petitions for various groups. My energy level at this point is very low and I need every bit of strength I have to fight the cancer so fighting the good fight for the future of our nation has to be turned over to you my fellow DU supporters!

My family has organized a team for our local chapter of the American Cancer Society - Relay for Life as it has given them something positive on which to focus to effect change regarding my illness. If you would like to contribute to our team click on the link - it is directly via the American Cancer Society. They have set their goal at 20,000.00 which is huge but I have always believed in thinking big.

Anyway thank you to all that have responded to my posts over the past year and a half and for all those that wrote letters when I asked for a call to action to block the certification of the election results. I miss being involved and hope to again take up the good fight with you. God bless you all and thank you for making me feel that we are making a difference whether or not the mass media, the government or the powers that be want to acknowledge our efforts or not. We are not alone and we can turn our great nation around to reflect the real spirit of the people.

Thanks again for the support!

12. Thank you for the post
It probably took you a long time to post that, thanks to you fellow DU'er for fighting the good
fight during these difficult times, let's home the seeds we planted bring about a better country.
I think that we are laying a foundation for something grand, a better tomorrow, a more caring
society; because we have all gotten together to share our ideas on this big electronic
party line. For everything you have done, thanks!

For you and all you "du"

"a bit of a set-back" I really like your attitude that is exactly how I see it and I don't intend on letting it get the best of me. But thanks for the response. I appreciate all the responses I will print them out and keep them handy for when I'm feeling not so confident.

70. an Irish Blessing
May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall—
You do not walk alone.

78. If you decide to win, you can.
I know, from what you say, that your prognosis is dire. But you have a great deal of power in your mind you can tap should you decide to do so.

We need all the help we can get right now here on Earth.

Have faith in the Divine and be blessed.

79. Best wishes and keep fighting
From a fellow cancer survivor (there are many on this forum).

You may want to do some advocacy with the American Cancer Society. In my state, they often argue against funds for lung cancer research, they feel its 100% preventable. We know otherwise, don't we. Make a point of asking them how much money they're devoting to lung cancer research.

Hang in there, you are in my prayers.

80. Thank you
I wish I noticed your screen name sooner but thanks for your efforts regarding fair elections and any other activism that you participated in/ intiated etc. Just by reading this and the strength, dignity and courage you display I am very impressed and inspired by you. I am sending you healing vibes and I look forward to when you can come back and fight again with us.

Also, I want to point out that radon is an often overlooked cause of cancer. I bought a house last year and had it tested for radon as part of that process. The results were 100 times the level deemed as safe. The sellers paid for an installed a system for radon removal and we have tested it again ( and plan to annually) and it is now at safe levels. It is the cause of much lung cancer, especially the unexplained kind. The previous owners all 3 parents and a daughter died of lung cancer. A person living in the house behind ours was diagnosed with lung cancer and now is living with one lung. Most people either don't know about radon or if they do they disbelieve the science that considers it a threat. My mother currently is going through chemo therapy for uterine cancer so I in no way want to tell you this to blame you or increase your pain or anything like that. I know what an amazing challenge this can be. I am only writing this for you to consider it a possibility, allay confusion as to how this happened to you, and most of all to help whoever lives with you. If you can have your home tested, any of you reading this even, test it and respond to the results. Anyway, thanks for posting this, fighting for all of us in the past and I wish you healing and peace. :hug:

81. Courage & Hope
I know how much courage you have to muster to fight this and fight you MUST.

My hubby is going through a combo of chemo and radiation in the next few week for thyroid cancer. He leaned on me to muster the courage to go through the operation, now he's giving me the courage to see him through the the coming battle. I admire you both.

Take care.

Time out while you fight your fight, and when you get your strength back you will join us again.

Hell, look at how far we've come just since 2004...with your help we've got Bushie's approval rating down to 33%!! He's running scared. That's what grit and determination can do. so turn that determination towards kicking the big C's ass! :nuke: Then join us again.

Peace. Strength.

83. with tears in my eyes... I'm dying a little with you
thanks for being such a fine patriot... I'm religious and I know your reward will be great. I live by a few mantras. Here's the most important one:

"No man is an island...

All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never ask for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

please know others will take your tourch and we will achieve the goals you seek.

115. Hopefully, you will beat this and still be on here 10 years from now
helping us to keep a Dem in the White House. I cannot imagine the road ahead of you or the one you have just traveled. You speak with such courage and strength, even though I do not know you, I admire you so much. Life seems to sock it to us when we least expect it; however, everything has a reason.

(Okay, Bush being President is not explainable but everything else has a reason - lol) Did that get a little chuckle out of you?

When you beat this, please promise to let us know when you get your strength back and have finished your treatments. The days ahead may seem long, might be hard, and you may get to the point where you dread them.

May God Bless you and watch over you and your family. We will be counting the days until we see a post from you again. We're not giving up on you so don't you give up either. We need all the help we can get.

116. God bless you and I would like you to know
that about a week ago I finally got a call back from the American Cancer Society here in Vegas to volunteer. I am so happy about that. I will be working with patients at UMC hospital here in Vegas and I will also be giving rides to patients who don't have a car to their doctors appointments and chemo appointments. I was appalled to hear some patients have to ride the bus to get to their chemo sessions.

I cannot and will not sit back anymore.

It breaks my heart too. I see people in my doctors office receiving chemo with no one there to be supportive. I understand this may be by choice for some but for most I would guess it is not. My husband sits with me and we play cards and talk, it sure helps me so bless you for helping out.

I may be stepping out of bounds here,
but I just saw a commercial for
Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

They tell you that now is not the
time to give up. They combine
traditional therapies with therapies
you may never have heard of.

I immediately thought of you and decided to post
this for you. Please forgive me if I
am speaking out of bounds.

137. not stepping out of bounds
I know of this organization and I have no intention of giving up. My cancer has been a mystery, no one can figure how I got it or why which makes me an atypical, I had to laugh, I have been called "atypical" my whole life so why should this be any different. I also feel my recovery will be atypical. I know the odds but I also know that may people have been cured with no explanation through faith, positive thinking and many other undocumentable avenues. So I will keep fighting, I don't see giving up as an option. Thank you for all the positive feedback.
