idea...and to think that you did it...congratulations!!

It took a long time for me to get over my total " cancer " depression. I just

started feeling like I could live again when they found tumors in my ovaries and

did a complete hysterectomy. I found that only by focusing on something other

than myself, was I able to climb up out of the self pity pit.

As soon as my brain started working again, I began learning website development.

I plan on doing Letters from Santa again this year and donating a dollar from

each letter to the National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations (a

non-profit information and education resource on breast cancer in the U.S.)...

This means that I have to have a web site up and running in the next few weeks.

It's amazing how a little bit of pressure can overcome depression <smile>...I am

finding that reading the books and implementing the concepts are two different

things!!!

Do I still get depressed about cancer? Yep!!! And sometimes I allow myself a

day to feel sorry for myself but then I kick myself in the butt and remember

that even if I die tomorrow there is still today to enjoy and I move on.

Have you thought of creating a web site about cancer, your experience etc....

Re: My surgery is over

Hi nne,

Again, good advice for me, " Don't overdo. " I wonder how people can read

me through the internet so well, ha, ha.

When times get depressing, what do you all do? I would love to put

together a book about my experiences with that dreaded word, " cancer, " and would

like to add all the different ideas of the experts. Each person is so unique,

that I'm sure there are lots of thoughts on this, and yet we are all so alike in

our needs to find that joy within our reach. We all can learn from each other,

which is why these types of lists are so important.

Bye for now,

Gloria
