Wow

[Bel1966]

All I can say is Wow to all of you very special people on here. I am not having a very good time at the moment and you have made me feel like I do belong and the most important being that you haven’t pitied me. I am tired of other people (not their fault) for thinking I am some person that they need to stay away from in case it’s catching. I fear that the next person who asks if I’ve made a “bucket list” (they do they the finger action as well) will be punched. Thank you all for making me pull my socks up and calm down. I cannot believe that in this day and age that people still don’t understand that Cancer is NOT catching and that you can still be alive with one lung. I try not to let people know about my condition as immediately they change their way of looking at me.

You have all made me realise that I can feel sorry for myself sometimes too and be selfish as well. As much as I love my family it’s difficult to talk to them as they are still in denial, even after two years, about my condition and think it will go away (it won’t).

Thank you all 😊

I saw your last post very late and had little to add to all the replies you received. I am glad to know that all those forum members helped you and that you are staying. It helps a lot, as you said, to know that others, even if they have a different lung problem to yours, understand and care. It certainly helps me. Best wishes xx

When they ask you if you have made your bucket list ask them if they have made theirs!

[Bel1966 in reply to Hidden]

I have, they say they don’t need to as they aren’t dying!!!

[Hidden in reply to Bel1966]

They never know! My two closest friends have just been diagnosed suddenly with cancer, one of them terminal. They were always the well ones and me the creaking gate. You don’t need such arrogant and destructive aquaintences.

You have great support from the lovely folk on here who wake up every morning, check they are still alive and kicking and then look at HU to see who needs their help. Keep going, you are doing really well.

[Bel1966 in reply to Hidden]

Some people are naturally ignorant but you are right the support on here has been a real tonic. Thank you

[Hidden in reply to Bel1966]

Ha ha ha! Aren’t they in for a surprise? It starts the day you were born.😉 Glad you’ve decided to stay. 😀

Actually it is the only absolute certainty in life, that at some point it will end for everyone!

What we do with the bit in the middle has everything to do with us and what we make of it!

Hold your head up high and make the most of it whether it involves a bucket or not 😉👍🏻💓 Pam x

Thanks Pam, maybe I should go to B&Q and get a job lot and hand them out saying you will be gone one day too. 😊

[Echoblue in reply to Bel1966]

Probably not be too popular with that plan! 🤔😉. I’d stick with this forum as a plan A 👍🏻

[Bel1966 in reply to Echoblue]

Spoilsport, I was looking forward to that 😊
