I chose "Not By Myself" as my blog title because I have had so many people with me as this whole thing has been developing. I live alone with a fairly loopy cat. Still, my family and friends have been so kind to me. I feel that I'm just one part of a team. I'm very, very grateful for that.
I had considered several other blog names. Most of the hopeful sounding ones had already been taken - and they all only had one post. That was a little unnerving. I started this blog out with the title "Malignant Me" since a carcinoid tumor does in fact count as a malignancy. That was amusing but didn't seem like it would be what people would like to see in the long run. It was catchy though, and now that I've renamed this blog it's available again.
About this blog
I had a lung carcinoid tumor. It was removed, along with the lower and middle lobes of my right lung, on November 6, 2007. This is a slow growing form of a malignant tumor. I considered the title "malignant me" but that seemed too negative. I locked in on "Not by myself" since that captured how I have felt during this whole, long run. I have set up this blog for people who want to know how things are going. I'll update it regularly, I hope. I'll probably be posting all sorts of things in here.
