I Have Lung Cancer
Telling family & friends
Added Aug 18, 2013You know there is a real stigma to having lung cancer, especially if you smoke or smoked. I had been a fairly heavy smoker for the majority of my life, even knowing the risks I was taking with my health. The addiction was stronger than anything I have ever faced – breaking it was hard. Real hard. Fortunately for me, I had finally managed to brea…

I don't want anyone to know...
Telling family & friends
Added Apr 18, 2013There are hundreds of blogs, video diaries, and discussion forums by people who are about to rest in peace. They want the world to know what they are facing, they want to reach out to others going through similar pain, and they want to leave a piece of themselves behind for all eternity, or until YouTube is replaced by something better.

How I could manage things to have a better time with my family and friends.
Telling family & friends
Added Jan 8, 2013I didn’t want to stress my daughter, who is 40 and got pregnant after much effort, just a bit before I found out I had cancer. So I did not tell anybody about my different tests and studies. As she and her couple were living with me for a while, it took quite a lot of imagination to explain so much going out, and moreover, downtown! The day I h…

Updated Jan 13, 2010My parents and some friends had major problems coping with my breast cancer diagnosis. My brother broke the news to my parents because we both knew it would be too hard on me. My parents waited a day or two to speak with me. Looking back, I can’t imagine the pain they were going through. It was really difficult for them to see me suffering, and …
