Nope. That's the rough part. Hence, you amaze me with your strength and perseverence.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Mostly lurking...
Ok. Pointed e-mails have been sent. We'll see if they play nice, or if I need to call my lawyer and have her send a pointed e-mail.

Susan, re: info.
My mom had lung cancer, the second type. She also has Type II diabetes, and various other problems. Within a month of diagnosis, she's had a lobectomy (1/2 of one lung removed) and then followed up with 8 weeks of radiation. She was a little naseaous and lost all her hair.
That was...two and half years ago. She's now 62, has a cute pixie ("Radiation made me hair grow back thicker! Yeah!") and shows no signs of reoccurring cancer. She quit smoking when she was diagnosed.
It wasn't fun, by any means, but she's come through it ok. And is still doing all right. But it's surreal from the get-go. Lung cancer's a scary one.

You've quit smoking, though, right, Erin?

Nope. And I don't want to hear about it, cause I KNOW I should, but people telling me to stop, evern with the best of intentions, makes me want to smoke 10 at once.
It's my Addict Toddler self, NOT the most attractive or sane aspect of my personality, I full admit.
