Thank you so much PF, your kindness is appreciated.
It's not in our hands now, they gave him a year but we all know that something could happen and he could be gone tomorrow or he could live well into his 80's. Life... never know what you are going to get.

I understand how you feel. A very close friend of mine was just diagnosed with lung cancer. They give him 5 to 10 years. Hes shutting everyone out and refusing treatment. He won't even use a nebulizer. Oh and he has informed us that he will not stop smoking. The only people who know of his condition is my wife a I and his girlfriend. He just turned 40. We want to help him cope but he just gets mad.
Oh bless his heart. I hope he changes his mind. With my brother they did say his mass is too close to his heart and they refused to try to cut it out. Your friend may have a stronger chance of survival.
I have done a lot of reading on foods for cancer and tried to get my brother to drink lemon water in the morning. I bought him a huge bag of lemons and a squeezer. Then I read about black raspberries and esophagus cancer.... he has a bush in his yard.... he is refusing to try either one! Heck I would take him fresh smoothies everyday If he would drink them but he won't. He is the meat and potatoes kid, I am the foodie of the family.
I'm not completely dumb, I know that lemons and black raspberries are going to cure him but hey anything is worth a try, right??!?

Thats what I say but Hes stubborn. At least he could take his meds. But he says it's his fault he has it because hes been smoking 25 years and hes not about to quit now. Worst of it is he wont tell anyone. I keep having to make excuses with our other friends. They know its bull because everyone has seen him use his rescue inhaler.

I'm sure he will once it sinks in. He just got the diagnosis a week or so ago.

I'm sorry, Merlot. Best wishes to you and your family.
I'll save LP's Monkey a ball of yarn. Hope she likes wool.
Munky.
Please, no yarn, wool or otherwise! If another ball enters this house (whether for me or Monkey) I am afraid TB will throw me and all the yarn out to sleep on it in the dog park!
Thank you very much!

Like that's a bad thing?
At least you'll both be sharing a nice soft bed.
O/T today. Then to the bank. Mr. Munk and I bought our youngest son a newer car that will be here this weekend.
My car has to go.I'm seriously going to miss my beauty.I've had her forever. We grew old together.Love that red color.They even had car clubs for that model. Go figure. Maybe I'll just hide her in the back yard.
If you click on the pic that's my baby! Except mine has better rims.

Thank you for your kindness!
Out of curiosity, when you say O/T for your husband, do you mean occupational therapy?

You're welcome. I truly understand what your going through.
I've lost my last youngest brother not long ago he was only 48. That after we just lost Mom to Dementia.
Yes O/T is Occupational Therapy. Plus others that he attends. Were on the road a lot. It's ok, it's paying off.
Mr. Munk is recuperating from a stroke he suffered after he had bypass surgery. He's been doing great. It's been a tough road at times. He's doing it. I'm very proud of how far he's come.
