in response to Starshine...I would rather not mention the dream again you have pretty well ruined it.One thing if i didnt get no better i would use to help my life to have something to look forward to,but hes saving it so if i make it i can still use it.I probably willnever make it that far anyway,but i just wanted to know why you would want to ruin someones dream like a child wanting to be a fireman when he grows up.Im sorry if i got rude it sounded to me like you was being sarcatic about what i dream for.Im not asking God for this,thats more like i wish everybodys pain and misery would go away not going to the ocean, is a dream.I help everyone around me if i have it from rolling tobacco to food,clothes,pictures,fans,food,5.00 if i have it.you name it basically>My husband had a good job and got paid good i have alot of extras so i give them away.Good night its over(The Dream) Hugs
in response to Debbiescared...I know sweetie that things change. There are people her going through cancer susie's son and his mom was a member here she had cancer. I can empathize with people. In my life I wasn't expected to live at 4 years old and had a 50/50 chance of living at 24 from a deep vein blood clot. I know about pain and maybe not the same as others but I have empathy for you and others going through life threatening illness. We won't mention the dream anymore and focus on you making it through each day at a time. You take care of you.
Wishing you the best !!!

in response to Starshine...yes the man was nice enough and thought of other people but i got worse and have to work this out.Until you have walked in someones shoes you dont understand completely.My Dad passed away with cancer but i just know what he told us and we seen.I didnt know the pain and things he was going thru up until now that i got it and really still dont unnderstand fully because it is another type than he had.Of course i was excited anyone would of been sick or not,but my life comes first.We just done a raincheck on the trip incase i get better.I have no ins no med payments no money coming in or going out yea i been here before years ago but i didnt have cancer.So totally different stories.I cant say i know how people feels because they are taking their kids i had kids but nothing like that happened to me Thank God for that.But i can care for them but not completely understand.Thanks Again Been trying to get the dream of mine off your mind.Things do change when you are terminally ill and always has and will be.It goes day by day.
in response to Debbiescared...I understand. You just were so excited a man in Florida was going to give you this trip to Mrytle beach! But plans change..
I wish I could help you more and take away the pain. I knew someone like you but he didn't have cancer but an auto accident put him in a wheelchair at 19 and the pain was unbearable as he could ride to the doctors without being in pain. He took his life when he was 39 drowning himself so I have seen people in pain, him, my mom dying from lung cancer and you couldn't touch her without here crying. I am not being sarcastic when you post just trying to help
Take care and have a good weekend

in response to Starshine...Oh yea and affortable dentures is not affortable unless you make some gll.ood money.100.00 for first x-ray good for 1 year.Then 100.00 atooth for extraction.Then the cheapest plan is 345.00.It would cost me around 1500.00 a month.I cant even pay my electric bill.I was hunting for sites but i found my help book for cancer patients for just about anything you need.Thanks Again
Yes in my dreams i was,for somr reason you cant get that out of your head,i have bills i can even pay,because my disability has been 6 months past hearing.I cannot even walk.You need to understand peoples dreams and real lif.I am barely making it back to radiation again because the first one didnt work.This Vacation was on what are you thinking today so i told you and you cant seem to leave it alone.Please know people before you start riding them.My situation not a good one but i have seen worse and better.I would hope everyone had a dream that might keep them going..Like i said i hurt to bad and have a blood disease cancer that is very rare.I cannot even leave over 45 minutes from my hospital give to take a few minutes.I dont leave the house unless its radiation which is 5 days a week.I have to have a bone marrow transplant cheap huh?Before i can even get my calcium chemo i have to have bad teeth pulled which every tooth i have is infected or rotten,so i have to worry about that not somebody thinking im going on a beach vacation.! year ago i could of went wherever i wanted to husband could work and made good money but things change in life overight he has to stay home with me to take care of me,getting up,food,washing cleaning etc.So yea im the one but i do wish you would quit being sarcatick every time i post.Thank you and have a good eveing.
Public health dental clinics provide clinical dental services to segments of the population that would otherwise not receive care.

Clinical dental services are provided on a part-time or full-time basis, depending on the location. Specific information on availability of services or eligibility guidelines can be obtained from the local health department in the county of interest. Three mobile dental clinics located in the Mid-Cumberland, Northeast, and West Tennessee Regions have been operating this year in an effort to provide access to dental services for high risk children in underserved areas.
