Grateful Dead

So sorry for your trouble, and wishing you excellent doctors and healing.

I too am battling Stage 3 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Just had surgery in December on the 7th and have not been feeling well at all. Glad I found this forum and the people in it. I spent my birthday on February 18th in the hospital having a bad reaction to my cancer medication so to find this place has made my day and already made me feel better. Much love to all

so sorry for all you and your family are dealing with.

Congrats, Mona! I myself have now been goin' down the road feeling Grateful for just under 5 years since my last chemo. Way to be a warrior! Sending out lots of positive energy to you and all others fighting the good fight!I firmly believe that listening to my tapes and CD's of the Dead was a major factor in my healing. Some rise, some fall, some climb...

Mona, Hoping that by the time you read this, you are done with treatments and looking forward only to blue skies on your horizon!! No clouds... Peace to you iGrateful

Hello fellow Deadheads, I’m so very happy to hear stories like Mona’s and other’s. I’m happy to hear and embrace successful stories of kicking cancer’s ass!!! My 35 yr old daughter has been battling colon cancer for 3 years. She had a successful treatment 2 years ago but we found out 2 months ago the cancer returned and the long term prognosis is not good. Last week we found out my sister, age 52, has an aggressive form of breast cancer, a recurrence from 10 years ago, that spread throughout the body. Prognosis is not good either. Both daughter and sister have been told told we’re not talking years, but months. Posting here because I feel a kinship with my fellow Deadheads and I know you all have someone in your family or know someone who is battling cancer. Cancer knows no age, no race, no boundaries. I guess what I’m saying is I’m posting here cause I can’t imagine walking alone by the ‘Black Muddy River’, though we all will at some point. And lastly, I’d like to say ‘FUCK CANCER!!!!’

Good luck tomorrow, mona. I'm very happy for you... And, good job on converting some of the hospital staff to the Grateful Dead! Hopefully it will stick! :-)
