Moth, I have appreciated all your posts since the first day I joined this community. I love your smarts and your passion and your rage. Hugs and love to you, and screams of anger and frustration into the universe that this is happening.

Moth- you have always shown compassion, shared your knowledge and now your courage . May you be surrounded by love and peace.
I am angry that this disease has left us so vulnerable like a storm from which we cannot hide.

Moth - Ive always appreciated your input and insights on all the various topics, even if sometimes they are raw and not what I wanted to read (i.e. your recent post about Stage IV stats and all - I think it was on one of your other sites). Your wry sense of humor at dealing with all this craptaculousness and still trying new means of expression in the midst of the storm, are such admirable traits and something I will remember. May your time now be filled with peace and love and family.

Oh Moth, I am so saddened by your news. I hoped with all my heart that things would turn around. You have been such a source of wisdom and levity despite the crap that we all face. I too wish you and your family peace and comfort. Sending a big virtual hug.

Moth--I saw your post and had to respond. You were one of the first to help me through the first weeks of diagnosis with your kindness. Thank you so much for that; you were calming at a time when I most needed it. I will remember your kindness and your willingness to help, always. I wish this wasn't happening to you. This must be terribly hard news for you to share. Thinking of you at this difficult time, and wishing for strength for your family. Damn cancer to fucking hell.

Mel--thanks for your graciousness; you're very kind. I don't have a lot to contribute but I do love reading. (By the way, it's "LW" but the stupid forum software doesn't display my nickname correctly.) Have a good evening.

Moth, I am so sad to read your update. You have been so helpful to us in this stage IV reality and consistently shared hope, knowledge, incredible strength and a bit of sass that made me smile. Sending you and your family peace, love and prayers.
Mel and all, I am also a quiet supporter (edited out lurker, thank you emac877). Thank you for creating this beautiful, safe and cozy living room.

I know the online term is lurking. I like to think of our quieter members as supportive listeners. I hope you feel welcome and when you feel like you have something to say it's always welcome here.
Moth - I don't really have adequate words. You were one of the first posters I encountered and I appreciated your posts as we share a love of the nursing profession, writing and science. I admire your blog and your online presence and advocacy for all of us living with MBC. I hope you are surrounded by things and the people you love that make you laugh. I wish you joy, peace and comfort during this time.
I will post more later. It's been a rough few weeks and I'm just processing. I'm well, just dark right now. Hugs to all of you. I'm "lurking" too so I can to keep up on everyone.

I have been a very quiet supporter since I joined/was diagnosed in 2020 (I like how that was phrased--thank you). I have been both helped by Moth and followed her the entire time. She was also a member of another board and I "knew" her there too and was one of the people offering support when she was first diagnosed with BC. I haven't been posting since the board changes and during those changes I stopped (even though I am still signed up) receiving e-mail updates.
All of that to say, thank you for letting me pop into your living room to offer my love and sadness to Moth. Also to offer some gentle hugs to her and to all of you. Your support and love for each other is truly wonderful. I have no support in my real life but just reading your posts makes me feel much less alone.
I do hope Moth is able to come back and read all of the posts to her. All my love, hugs, and appreciation Moth.
Edit: during the board changes it messed up all my dates and possibly some info on my dx and treatment. I tried fixing it and it never "sticks" so I just left it.

CM2020--My signature information was so messed up I finally was able to just delete it all. I am not Stage 4 so I hesitated to post here, but I did want to let Moth know how important she is to us.

Mel Thanks for inviting us in to your living room! I am a new Stage IV as of June and just discovered your living room a couple weeks ago. Which I am so glad I did! I absolutely love the way you ladies interact, I can feel the love you have for one another, you are all incredible supporters. Honestly I wanted to join in but was trying to follow all your stories and didn't want to be intrusive.
This will not be the last time you here from me as I am trying to learn how to live with this stage . My emotions have been all over trying to make sense of it all. I am typically a strong positive person since i was diagnosed in 2016 and lately I'm finding it more challenging. This is the only place that people truly understand what this feels like. However sometimes it can be depressing with all the sad news of all these amazing women being taken by this dreadful disease!!!
I will continue to try to find something positive in each day.Also your original post when you opened your living room was so beautiful, brought tears to my eyes. You are a fabulous writer and have a talent in the way you express your feelings in writing.
Be well
Cookie

Sorry to change topics, but this question came up while I posted on another Thread...
I am in the U.S. --- how do I get home Covid test kits? Back earlier in 2022, or late 2021, the Government offered 4 free home test kits to be sent to your home address. I got those. Never had to use them, and the expiration date is Jan 2023 (4 months from now). How do we get more? Can we get more? Do you buy them from your local pharmacy? Does Medicare pay for them?
Someone with Covid posted on another Thread about getting better and testing each day till they get a negative test.
Can we do that in the U.S.? Frequent testing. A friend from church said that she thought tests were $80 at the local pharmacy, for 1 test, and Medicare didn't cover it.
