The times they were "something"

When I felt a large tumor in my abdomen, it was My gallbladder tried to kill me

the time I got dizzy and was seeing white haze, I had a TIA, or mini-stroke

The pain in my back that I was sure was kidney cancer, was degenerative disk disease

Once I had abdominal pain for 3 days that became so intense I finally gave up and went to the ER, after every test in the book, scans, etc. a lab test found it to be an intestinal virus.

The pain I had once when breathing that I was for sure was lung cancer, was "just pneumonia".

One thing that cancer survivors have that is strange for normal people is the ability to be elated to have all of these things, illnesses, problems, instead of cancer.

I hope he is able to celebrate something "simple", like pneumonia, or something just as fun!

I just wanted to let you know that I remembered reading about your husbands hiccup remedy and what he did...lying on his stomach on the floor, etc. Well I got hiccups last night and I tried it myself and it worked!!! Thank you so much for posting that information!!! :-)
