I have learned more from these threads than from all of my doctors combined. Sorry you have to join us, I see that you were just recently diagnosed. I lived in Dewitt many moons ago. Now I am on the south side near Holt. Please let me know if I can be of help to you.

I too have learned much more from this group than from my doctors. I think that my doctors believe that ignorance is bliss.
Merilee, I will be thinking of you. Hugs.0 -
One year ago today I received a phone call that instantly changed my life and the lives of my family and friends. I call it my cancerversary. Looking back on this year I survived 3 surgeries, 16 chemo treatments, 36 radiation treatments and countless blood tests and scans. I lost my hair, some of my nails, and a lot of weight. Through it all, I learned a lot about myself, my family and my friends. I cried a lot, prayed even more. I laughed a little and got out of bed to fight for my life every single day! I made some new friends, watched a few old ones walk away because it was too much and more than anything I learned to love every minute of my blessed life with my family and friends! I had cancer but cancer DID NOT have me!
I couldn't have done it without you!

I learned today that my RO died last week. My heart goes out to his family and staff who are mourning at a time of year which should be so joyous. My RO and I got off on the wrong foot from the first day and although I trusted his expertise and he seemed like a good person, our interactions just were not good. I had hoped to mend that relationship during my follow up visits, but now I will never get the chance. Time is fleeting. I pray he is being rewarded now in heaven.

Very sad, a former Miss Venezuala died of breast cancer today at the age of 28.

MamaV, your post touched me deeply. You are a strong and brave sweet lady. Sending you an abundance of love to get through the new year ahead.
Steph, hope you are recovering well and feel strong again soon. Many healing hugs!
Gigil....thanks for all the good wishes! I hope you have a fabulous holiday. Celebrate life!
Merilee...ah hon, you have been through SO much! I am just glad we are able to help hold your cyber hand when these scares come up. Everyone here has been so supportive to me!
I am a little bummed as Christmas is almost here and another year without my kids. They are grown, I have two sons. One if not in a good place, his depression comsumes him and that breaks my heart. He is in Wyoming. My only grandchild, Wesley, lives there also with his mother. My youngest is in Colorado and he and his wife have very demanding jobs. No chance they will make it here, I have not even heard from them. It is just hard, we are spending Christmas alone. I am trying really hard to be positive...and I am, honest. I am grateful for all of you great friends, and for life. Just a little sad you know? I miss my family but will get through it. Not even cooking anything special for Christmas dinner.
Anyway........to all of you who have been here for me these long months...many thanks, I love you all and wish everyone happy holidays, and Merry Christmas. HUGS to you all!

Janis, I know exactly how you feel. I am spending the holidays totally alone. As you know I am seperated from my husband. I live in Santa Monica, Ca. and my children and grandchildren live in the Northern suburbs of Chicago. I am not thinking about the loneliness. I am thinking about how good it is to be alive, and how grateful I am that my cancer was stage 1. I am over doing shopping, because that keeps me busy, and my mind off of being alone.I am also eating too much, because that is a great diversion from the lonliness. I hope you find ways to keep your mind off of the lonliness. You are a strong lady so I know you can do it. Hugs!

I am so sad for kate and janis spending the holidays alone. My heart breaks for you. If you are feeling well, maybe you could go to the cancer ward at your local hospital and visit other cancer patients who are alone too? Just a thought! Wish I could have you to my house!
