My daughter, Rita married Eddie Johnson, a veteran of the
armed forces, a father, a hard worker, and an all around good guy. I am lucky because he often helps me out
with those things around my house that can fall into disrepair.
After chemotherapy, I developed neuropathy (a condition that
causes numbness and balance issues in the legs and arms). Because of this, I cannot do many of the
household chores that are required to keep up.
Luckily for me, Eddie steps up to fix the vacuum cleaner, fix the car,
or any other challenge that occurs.
Many people who deal with lung cancer are not so lucky. They do not have a good support group around
them who can help them when they need an outstretched hand.
Eddie is standing with me to lend his support to
#freetobreathe in recognition of Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
FACTOID: There are a
host of organizations that can put you in touch with help during your cancer
journey. In Fort Wayne, check out
Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana (http://cancer-services.org/)
