She had a nurse flying with her? And she was able to do all of this. How marvelous. The problem is that is NOT a normal happening. Look, I have cancer, and three of my friends do, and many in the past. We keep joking about these "people" who have stage iv cancer and keep working and dancing and never get sick and never get debilitated and even drive themselves back and forth like nothing is wrong! Funny part is, I don't know any. I just keep hearing about them.

Reality for most is quite different, I can assure you.

Hey, greccogirl, you have my sympathies for your problem with cancer. Hang in there!

Grecogirl, you have my very best wishes for a full recovery. I didn't mean to imply that you should be doing what Elizabeth Edward and Kay Yow are doing, but that some people do choose to remain as active as possible and I'nm all for respecting whatever decision each individual makes in how to deal with her (or his, for that matter) cancer. I would no more want people second guessing you than I believe they should second guess Edwards or Yow. These arepersonal decisions. Kay Yow has been very much of an inspiration to my mother who was recently diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. I hope you don't begrudge her some inspiration.
