Sorry to hear about your mom.
I will be praying for her.
My dad survived lung cancer.
My heart goes out to you, b/c I know how scary it is.

Hey Frog
Sounds like they caught things pretty early, so her prognosis is probably going to be better than most. Still, for her treatment, you guys need to be there, and give her a soft place to fall. Fear abounds in these situations, and it continues long after the surgery and chemo, as you have to wait and see about remission.
Me, I'm doing fine. Things at home are as would be expected, except I haven't seen nearly as much 'withdrawal' as i did the last time PWC lived with me and DS. I think not being around the OW helps a great deal. NC is firmly established on his end. I hope that it will continue to be so. I cannot account for what OW may be going through, but I'm sure she has been tempted to call or email.
Triggers here and there, but I'm learning slowly, I will bring my thread back up again, just to ask some questions.
We'll catch up. Hope all ELSE is well. Hang tough.

SL,
Thank you for stopping in. Means a lot.
Yes they caught it early because of her previous cancer. She insisted on the Xrays I guess then the biopsy.
For some reason, I think because if it weren't for my mom we would be D'd right now, this is really triggering me.
I had to stop myself from getting very angry with the FWW last night.
Couldn't sleep. Of course couple this with the fact her A happened at this time it doesn't help probably. Not to mention her slow roll of info gives me another year where I acutally have new info that I didn't have the year before.
Oh well I am strong I will get through it.
Easy does it.
On the good side I am making enough on my new job that I should be completely out of the financial hole finally in a few more months.
Completely debt free. No more collection calls. All my bills paid that will be nice.
Thanks again for stopping in.

No prob, Frog, I've got your back; you've always had mine.
I can understand the triggers, but you know you will deal with it and they will pass, and your FWW will prove every day that her M is her choice and reinforce your belief in her. We all have bad days, weeks, and sometimes months.
You are in a tough spot right now, but treatment will commence and hope kicks in.
Debt free is nice, isn't it. I'm not debt free, but I hope to work on that this year. Maybe do some mortgage manipulations, and get my credit card paid down (I only have one, with a high credit limit). No more school loans, paid that off with my year end bonus. Just have to pay the dentist off for my THREE crowns. Chippin away.

I am not debt free yet. I am getting very close though. Then trying to clean up the credit report is the next hurdle.
We really want a house.
Well I am having a good week other then the whole Cancer thing. LOL
Son's baseball team finsihed first, he made the tourney team and the allstar team. I was a coach.
One of my team just closed a huge deal so instead of falling just short of quota I crushed it.
Now I just want 2 more months of comissions like this and I will be out of debt.
Funny how one financial mistake can ruin you for years.
But what doesnt' kill me makes me stronger.
Thanks again.

Sorry to hear about your Mom.
My sister was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer. A lumpectomy (sp?) was done, and that went well, and the chemo starts next week.
Prayers to both!

Thanks guys.
Well good news, my Mom got a second opinion and is changing hospitals.
Going to Cedars Sinai(sp),
The doctors there perform a less invasive surgery with a quicker recovery.
Three small incesions instead of one big one.
My mom as usual is a rock. Thank you all for your kind words and prayers it means a lot.

Well my Mom had here surgery yesterday.
What a relief. The removed the bottom lobe of the lung and feel as though they got it all.
It will be a week before the labs are back from her lymph nodes. If they come back clean no Chemo.
Thank you all for your kind words and support.
