This video made you one of my favorite people. Forgive yourself. You did what you could and what you thought was best. I have regrets myself-walking away from a failed marriage-and I’ve beat myself up a lot, but there comes a time when you just have to let go of your own guilt. He’s an adult now. He’s made his choice. Keep being great.
😊 You just made my day. Been in a lot of pain and thinking? Today was the first day I said I'm going to set on the couch and try to paint with watercolor I'm almost done. Know I really appreciate your kindness. Everyone tells me the same thing. I have to let go. He's going to be 51 I believe. And not to sound mean in anyway. But Karma got him. He was married to a PHARMACIST had a Beautiful home and 2 Beautiful Girls. He is no longer married to her. I believe from what I see on FB They see there Dad. The oldest is off to college and the youngest is a Freshman. She got remarried and Built a Fabulous home with her new husband. So I'm Greatful that I know they are well taken care of. I will stop there But that's my only means of communication with my Son. Problem is I MESSAGE him at least every other week and he doesn't respond. 😢 It hurts and will to the day I pass. And then I'm pretty sure he will have the same regrets I do. Then again mybe not. Know I appreciate you and your kindness. Hope your having a great weekend 👍😊
💐Thank you. I haven't been able to paint all week. Because my pain was so bad. Today I managed to sit on the couch and play in my Sketch book the last page. Hope your day is going Good Xo 🦋
🥰That's what I always heard. Hopefully after they gatherer all my blood information on Friday the 13th lol I will be able to get on it. Knowing my weird body I probably have something there never Sean before lol I so Appreciate you. ❣🦋💐🤗🌷🦸♀️Stronger Together 🦸♀️
I’ve only watched a few videos of yours and I’m in awe. How you stay positive, how you’re creating art, your self-deprecating humor is so impressive given what you’re up against. I so hope you beat this. Btw, I like that painting on the wall directly behind you.
😊Thank you for your ENCOURAGEMENT words So kind. I think that painting is one of my favorites then again I say that a lot. Lol Unto I make another favorite painting. Hope your having well and have a great Weekend 🤗Stronger Together 🦸♀️🐕🦺🦸♂️
It took about 3 weeks for my surgeon office to call after the pulmonary doctor made his referral, then about another 3 weeks to get an appointment. I made the decision at that appointment to have the surgery, then had to have a battery of tests, PET scan, nuclear medicine stress test, pulmonary function test, then the pre testing before surgery. In all it took almost 3 months! I did have the lobectomy, they also took a lot of lymph nodes to check for spread, all negative. I was diagnosed Stage 1A2. I didn’t have any further treatments as it was confined to that area, I pray you get a call soon to get the ball rolling, once I made the decision, I felt so much more at peace about it. Praying for you Michele🙏🏻
💐Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and journey. Yes I believe waiting is one of the hardest parts. You would think I was be so used to Surgery's But I think in the back of my mind I also think Well/Know lol I'm getting older is my body STRONG enough. And like you said I'm sure they will do a lot of testing. Thank you for sharing. Have a Great weekend 🦋💐
💐My Insurance will not pay for a second opinion one. Two keep in mind I live in a Rural area there is a Oncologist team in Asheville NC but that is a 3 hr drive one way. I don't have a lot of chances. Believe me I I wish I did. Another thing against me is I have NC Medicaid. So that is Ng Not every Once takes North Carolina Medicaid In Ga. So I'm very limited all the way around. I'm leaving it in God's hands / The universe Who ever . And have HOPE I'm a big believer in Hope and everything happens for a Reason. Thank you for your kindness. Have a great weekend 🤗🦸♂️🐕🦺🦸♀️ Stronger Together Xo
❣My oncologist told me that there is 3 or 4 Surgeons in that building. So if this Sargon doesn't want to see me he will make another referral to another. That just means more waiting time. Mybe? Like I said in my last video I'm guessing by the time everything is said and done probably won't be until after the Holidays. I think I would prefer that anyway because it always seems I have to have a surgery around the Holidays and There is less Health care workers. Working around this time for one. And I want to try to have a Good Christmas. Enjoy it as much as I can. The good thing about getting a surgery before the holidays is it gets me out of cooking Lol When I had my Right hip replacement it was around Christmas and Hubby did most of the cooking 👍Hope you are feeling well and have a Great weekend. Stronger Together 🦸♀️🐕🦺🦸♂️
@@purplephoenixartbymicheled9298 I understand my friend. It does tend to be a waiting game. I had the same waiting with my breast cancer. You be well and I am glad I met you. 🙏🏻❤️
Hello Michelle I am new to your channel and I hope my comments will help to make you feel a little bit supported whilst you travel along your tough cancer journey. I am very interested to see more of your Angel cards, you are a very talented lady. Sending you Love & light 🐰
🦋 I really haven't explored a lot. Just VA and Divita center Oh and we used to go to that all you can eat Chinese Restaurant. Don't remember the name it's by Walmart oh there's a Sally's there as well. Were do you live in the Carolina?
Thank you for asking My body is falling me😢Me and Hubby were just talking about this morning. Everytime I start to feel good Something always happens. I think between Me laying flat for almost a hr. On Monday of last week when I had my Pet scan. Then the following day I took a ride with Dad to the VA that's a 2 hr ride sitting and his seats are So hard when I got into his truck and sat down I said Och !! Felt my back pain.but just thought not to much about it other than ( THAT HURT) when I woke up Yesterday Morning I could barely get out of bed. But living with Chronic pain everyday you kind of try to just live. Then yesterday we went Grocery shopping. Hubby kept telling me don't lift any bags that he would get them all. But I wanted to help. Its a pain in the butt. Because we live in a apartment so it's not easy to park then grab groceries go halfway down the hall back and forth. Then put away the groceries it's a chore. Well this morning I'm in a lot more pain. I either have another fracture or it's the Cancer? About 3 months ago I had SEVERAL of my THORACIC Spine. T9 I believe it's on a video well they filled the gap with cement. Felt good for 3 days. I don't know. It's eather my Osteoporosis or cancer because there was another concerning spot on T11 on pet scan. Sorry for the long answer. Just wanted to explain. Especially if you're new. And if you are I Appreciate you and your kindness. Thank you Xo
🐔👍I know. We would prefer to be there. But when my Stepmom passed in 21 My Dad wanted me and Hubby to move in with him. I was already staying with them because my Father could no longer watch my Mom 24/7 And it was the right thing to do I really loved my Stepmom/ Bff😢It was getting hard for me to go back and forth from there home to the Barn. Me and Hubby didn't have Bella at that time. I adopted Bella about 2 months after we moved in. The black dog had cancer so i had to put her down 😢 I was so heart broken she was such a great dog. The white dog we had to put down as well she could no longer walk again she was Rob's dog.😢 as soon as I would get home the phone would ring it was Dad telling me he needed me for Something! This became more and more frequent. So I just decided to pack up the stuff I needed and move in. By then Mom was no longer to go upstairs in there room. So there was plenty of room. Well when mom passed that's when Dad Said no sence Rob paying rent I want both of you here and you can enjoy the house! And I can watch you enjoy the house lol So I started cleaning and he would watch me. Me and Dad even did Mom's computer room together. Me and Hubby was trying to clean up the yard and Dad came out SCREAMING AT US you're taking over my house. I said no I'm not don't you and want to have a nice yard I mean it was a mess even the neighbors would drive by and tell us how nice it looked well that stopped in a hurry dad says I like everything natural you see all the leaves on the ground that's nature I like it that way so we stopped and then it just snowballed. He started getting more Anger issues and telling me I'm moving everything around and now he can't find anything! I never touched his room. Other then vacuumed and putting his clean clothes on his bed. It was getting much harder everyday. We both ( hubby and me)walking on eggshells 😢Then one day he just blew up and told us to get out of his house he doesn't want us there anymore! Upstairs didn't have a door. It is a loft with no aircondion we were so hot. He had control of the central air downstairs and that's were he sleeps right under the stairs on his Recliner he wanted the central air set on 78 and there was no compromising upstairs was 90° so that's when we had to find a place it took 6 months to find this place cuz really around here there's not many apartments so we got lucky now me and Dad get along he comes over a lot I go over there but it's always so hot! As far as me taking Bella to the dog park .the dog park is very close to Dad's house so not only was it convenient it was also my Escape from Dad and allhisANGER!. because everyday he was so Angry. Also there's a fee for the dog park at that time we did give Dad rent. But we didn't have as many bills as we do now. Sorry I went down a Rabbit hole lol but I like to tell it like it is. So mybe it's easier for you to understand. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you and I hope you are doing well. Have a Beautiful day/night Xo
😊 I'm the only Child as of right now my 95 year old Father does pretty good on his own. Yes he Definitely needs me more and more as I noticed not long ago. Our family unfortunately is small. His Sister and her 1 daughter live in Florida and really that's it. Me and my husband are the closest to my father. It's sad. I'm going to have the surgery providing the Surgeon even calls. Thank you for your concern 💐🦋
Hi Michele! Francine sent me your way, I subscribed. I have Stage 1A2 non small cell lung cancer, Adenocarcinoma. I had a right lower lobe lobectomy in March. Just had my first of many to come follow up CT scan, shows no cancer at this time. I will have them every 6 months. I’ll be trying to catch up on your journey and I’ll be praying for you 🙏🏻
💐Wow. That's Awesome and encouraging. Thank you for SHARING and the you for SUBSCRIBING I really appreciate your kindness and concern. Hope you continue to have a good day/night 🌷💐🌬❣
We are almost birthday twins! I'm November 27, looks like you're November 28. So happy Sagittarius birthdays to us! Prayers heading your way from California. Francine introduced your channel to me this morning, so I'm now a subscriber. Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer here, a little over 3 years into my journey, but I'm still here! We gotta keep fighting - together ❤
😢Oh No Not again I didn't go any emails Let's do a test. Have is my private email Just write Test. If I get it hopefully I will I should 🙏 then I will rest back. Here is my personal email micheleriley7205@gmail.com
I think I see what I did wrong. I will try again tomorrow ill write test. They found a protein in my blood that is concerning. I don't exactly know what this means yet. Ilk try to email tomorrow.
Well if you doctor can’t help you it’s time for another opinion. Many of the best research hospitals Mayo Clinic, Hopkins, Cornell will give you a second opinion if you contact them and send your information to them. I suggest you do that as soon as you can. If you have metastatic cancer the lobectomy won’t be very helpful. I don’t know anyone who has been cured with immunotherapy
💐The once did say that ! The only cure is surgery 😢So now I'm just waiting for the call from the Surgeon. If they feel he can help. If he can't then? That's why next month I go back to the oncologist for molecular testing. Thank you for your thoughts. Have a Beautiful day/night 🦋💐

Michele you are my favorite youtube person. You are such a sweetheart praying for me & my parents that are 83 & 84 year old parents & others before yourself. I pray for you everyday. God Bless you always! You will be 👌 OKAY.❤ Love from Mary Waite pray😊
Sorry to hear you've had some bad news. If your Doc thinks surgery is the way forward, I would take their advice. I was 62 when I had part of my lung and diaphragm removed. Yes all chest surgery takes a while to get over, but it is do-able, with pain meds! It is amazing how our bodies mend after ops. Sending prayers and healing vibes your way. Also hope that you will be able to hug your son at some point soon. Love from England
Wow. That's Amazing From England I never been but picture are Beautiful. Welcome and Thank you for sharing and I'm so Happy for you also thank you for your kind words. Much love and blessing's from North Carolina Us Xo
💪I felt so good so STRONG and Healthy 😢 then my Stepmom was declining and Dad needed me more and more also I had to have Ankle surgery to tighten up my ligaments on my left leg that surgery prevented me from working out as well so everything was against me so I was no longer to workout. But I'm hoping to get back in to it again. Providing my body let's me.Thank you for your kind words. Hope you are feeling well 🙏Have a Beautiful day/night
🦋Thank you. I'm going to make a video because I watched the video I made and I really forgot I had. I so wish I can just post it. But my oncologist is against me posting it on RU-vid 😢I wasn't going to show his face but it was a ( NO YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO POST THIS ON RU-vid) Thank you for your kind words. Have a Beautiful day/night ❣
Awe. Thank you. I keep telling myself the same thing. Now that it's getting cooler. Walking is so good for us in so many ways. Hope your feeling well today and everyday 🦋 We are Stronger Together Xo

I'm sorry your fears were realized. I hope you get the treatment of your choice. As for your son, he probably doesn't feel having a relationship with you means he has to take care of you. It may be that he doesn't know how to heal from the past. You're blessed to be able to stay in contact though. I know many people who are not that lucky. I love your art, and I'm sure it's healing, but do you ever paint your pain? Sending love 💕
Hello my Beautiful friend. You are probably 100 % right about my son. I never thought about it that way. I did paint a Picture of me last year I was doing a 31 day challenge it was learning Abstract and that's when I realized how much I love Abstract so this one day it was about getting all your feelings especially Anxiety out into the canvas it was pretty scary looking when I was done lol Funny you should mention that because I change out my painting's from time to time and I had it in my closet I just took it out last week and hung it on the wall. Well that day was a big shit show lol so I said to myself I jinxed myself and took it down. I probably didn't jinx myself but that's how I felt at that time. Next time I make a video I will have it on the wall so you can see it😊 It's getting close to Halloween anyway because it's pretty Scarey mybe for some ppl. 😂 My Dad hates it. Thank you for being here for me you all mean the world to me. Hope you are feeling good today and can have a Beautiful day/night one that you deserve. Much love and Light your way Xo 🦋💐
😊 I'm not giving up. I just don't want to be in More pain than I am now. I will continue to be as Strong as I possibly can. Thank you. Have a Beautiful day/night ❣
