    Update on Rich

    I'm not quite sure what to say.   The cancer has disfigured his face horribly, his speech is barely understandable and the pain meds are being increased weekly. This horrible disease is turning him into someone I don't know. Please cont to remember us in your prayers and please stop smoking. This is a horrible way to die

    I know how hard it is to quit. You might think I would not have a problem with quitting with seeing what it has done to Rich each day, but it has still been a struggle.  I highly recommend checking out  http://www.quitnet.com/  Today is my 5 months anniversary. That website was a major help. Also one of Richs doctors prescribed chantix.

    Oh hon.  I'm sorry this is so very hard for you and for Rich.  You've never left my thoughts and prayers and i hope you've been able to feel all of us lifting you up.  Hugs to both of you.

    I've rarely made time to get on the forum in the past several weeks, but you are among the members whom I think of often, and I continue to send good thoughts and support your way.  I can't begin to imagine what you and Rich are experiencing.  My heart goes out to you both.  May peace and grace find their way to you each day.  Take care.
