The Sands Of Time For Me Are Running Low

Thanks Meliai. It doesn't help that I'm a depressive. But you're right, I should enjoy my life, and I do want to.

 

I'm going to live until I die.

 

Try to quit smoking - really although it's difficult its the best thing you can do for yourself. Also try to stay active and exercise. If you don't have symptoms the chances are you could go on for many years to come. Although I wasn't diagnosed until 4 years ago I've had this for a lot longer and I've had symptoms for about 8 years. Still going strong and hoping to continue for a long time yet.
About the only other advice I'd offer is to get onto the doctors immediately if you get any kind of flu or cold. If you leave it and wind up with a chest infection it could accelerate the progress of the condition.

 

In general the two health issues that people do not like to share are lung and liver as there is a lot of blame laid on those two with the perception that they can be avoided and are self inflicted. I do peer work with lung cancer fellow patients and some do not even want to tell their family as it is difficult for all. Even strangers will think it is fair game to often make a comment. Funny as when I had cervical cancer no one ever asked me if I still had sex.

I think you are doing what you can and that is a good thing. Stop what you are able to, eat right, exercise and most importantly keep a check on it. Screening is a good thing even for just respiratory function as there is a lot that can be done to help lung capacity.

Be good to yourself and live life well. That is the most positive thing to do.

 

I think you're limiting your ambitions unnecessarily, SS.

I plan to live FOREVER ... or die trying.

A Philosophical observation from Debbie and the boys:-

I'm 60, and I'd rather go cycling for 2-3 hours than anything else ..... the nap comes after.

I used to weigh over 14 stone (at age 50), now I weigh 12 stone.
Not sure the food or booze matters all that much, as long as you're getting plenty of exercise.
Vegetarian is just worthless unless it's a moral choice.

 

Man. I'm already 29 and the hour glass is feeling empty for me.
So. I need a bigger hour glass that's how you fix that shit!! More sand!

 

I'm sure I will wish, - more years to live for
need me and feed me - when I'm 64
