I have been in your shoes. 3 months...

The best and what turned out to be an interesting ones. I wanted this person to end the suffering.

I don't know how else to be. Depression has engulfed my entire life, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let it absorb my last few months here in this world.

My question was: when? /She said she...

My cough is always productive. I have two unopened bottles of green liquid in the tussin family. I won't take it. They have it in pill form and I take one at bed and another upon awakening.(non...

I was dxed in 1979 and made sure I had the pap smear every year. They didn't know what it was really, but it was coming to the forefront in vaginal disease so the;y knew enough to keep an eye on it. ...

Hi Penny, I haven't seen you on here before. For a person like me when you become ill with cancer you start thinking a lot. We all do it. I wanted to find people in my shoes. From there I tell my day...

When I was weaned off my muscles would jump when I tried to sleep. I also eat massive amounts of anything not tied down! Jody

Hi Mickey, I, too, have cancer. Lung though. And depression meds for years. They put me on the DEX for pain and it works wonderfully. Until my skin started tearing as it was tissue thin. When they...

Now these are words of wisdom! When I wrote that I had a hint of hurt in my tone.Boy, did that change my mind in a hurry. Jody

I have come to a crucial decision in the whole funeral process. I had to check my...

She has likely been thiking about this for a while. Cheryl has made a very hard, but in my opinion, wise choice.
She isn't "giving up", only surendering to the inevidable. She is sick & tired of...

Absolutely they do. They kept me comfortable and pain free during my curative tx. I went into hospice care immediately upon finding no more curative was available other than trials. I can't say...
