    Annette (((((((((HUGS))))))))))) You will be better off when you get this chapter behind you.  I have met you and you are one terrific lady, smart, funny, compasionate and good looking.  Remember I have an extra room with your name on the door anytime you want to escape the city for a relaxing weekend.

    My heart goes out to you. What a difficult time. I do think a meeting with a lawyer might be a good investment in protecting your interests. When I lived in Texas, I felt the laws were really in favor of men.

    I got a phone call from my oncologist..... TM test went from 25 to 28.....of course panic set in but he convinced me that there was nothing to worry about i was still under the normal range which is 38     

    Glucose went from 90 to 102 still normal....but I need to start exercising. My mother had Diabetes.........

    Today i walked about 3 miles or more.........

    shelia888:  Sorry that your TM went up but it does sound like it is within normal.  One thing you don't want is your glucose going in the wrong direction...cancer feeds on sugar.  I am doing the gluten free diet which removes all starch and sugars.  You eat lots of fruit, veggies and protein, and after a small adjustment period, you feel great.  Exercise is good...keep it up!

    Kaara....My friends make fun of me because i eat so much fresh veggies and fruits and Salmon.

    Once in a while i need to have some chocolate. I don't eat or buy cookies, pies etc.

    The only added sugar is in my coffee in the morning.

    My problem is what goes in after late hours.....if i can control that i'll be fine.....Thanks♥

    Annette,

    I know right now seems like a very dark time in your life but trust it will get better. While it is dificult to see now, these gals are right when they say that you will eventually look back to find this is in essence a good thing. You are a beautiful, smart & strong woman who does not need to carry dead weight. Hold your head high as living well is your best revenge. It will get better sweetheart, I promise. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything including a shoulder to cry on or a set of ears to vent to. Big hugs!!!!

    ducky - Bravo!  I could not have said it better myself.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Annette this past summer in San Antonio.  Had lunch with her and what a fantastic, funny lady she is.  Just gotta love her.

    AnnetteK - so sorry you are having to go through with this but you sound very strong and I know you will come out the other side better for it.  Sounds like he is an obstacle to bigger and better things for you.  Somewhere out there is a better man that will actually be a supportive partner and not a burden; you just have to get through this first.  We are all here for you.

    Hugs, Judy

    annetteK:  Stay strong and see yourself a year from today in a much better place, with no anchor around your neck!  It is amazing how empowered we become when we find we can be our own person.  It is the best thing that ever happened to me and it will be for you as well...I promise!

    You've got lots of sisters on here who will love and support you through this.
