Tired...
Its me again...
Been a rough month or sorts. I'm still dealing with the loss of Chuck (its affecting me more than I had thought it would) and the fact that Texas is basically a dry wasteland with no rain in sight isnt helping either. To make matters worse, my ex Mike has been diagonised with lung cancer. I've known he would eventually get it because he smokes an unheard of carton a day (a cigerette every 8 minuets) and only found out because about a month ago he broke 2 of his ribs, and when they did the X-ray the tumor showed.
He still hasnt quit smoking... I've driven him to all his appointments and have been sort of a sounding board and support for him which is taking its toll. Becuase I hate people who continue to kill themselves and yet bitch about dying. But I'm here for him. He's supposed to quit when he starts chemo (thats next week) but I seriously doubt it.
With treatment, he's got 9 months. and thats IF he quits smoking becuase the rate of growth is slow but its already in parts of that body that will start to be affected. The size of the tumor is 7.25 cm. Most normal large sizes are 4cm.
*grumble* and yet he still smokes....
