Hello , I'm new to the group

Hello to all , I'm new to the group but not to the colon cancer. I

have been battling it for a year and half now. Well not just colon,

but rectal colon. When they found it , it was in stage 4 . No warning

sign or nothing. Been handling it well...but like everyone from time

to time I just need a shoulder. The doctors don't give me till

Chirstmas this year, but I hope to prove them all wrong. So tell me

when is anyone in the room to chat or do you do that here? Looking

forward to talking to all of you and getting to know you.

Hi , Welcome!!!! So sorry we had to meet under this circumstance.

I personally do not use the chat. Have enough trying to keep up with

posts but love everyone here so much. I think you will feel at home

here quickly. We talk of everything and whine and cry here. Questions

are always answered here since sorry to say most have endured one

treatment or another.

Tell us about yourself. Do you have children? I have a 13 year old

son. I am stage 3 and have had a reoccurance near the original sight

that had been removed (hopefully) this past June. Hope you come and

visit often. God Bless YOU!!! Ingrid

So very well said!!!!!!!

your husband that this saying might help with. It was a real eye-

opener for me years ago when I heard it.

to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all he or she have. "

> Sometimes I think we struggle with recognizing the love and

compassion from others because we only have our OWN definitions and

standards to compare it to. In other words, I show you love this way

and when I don't get it back this way I don't recognize. Do some

serious searching and look for your husband's definition and

expression. I bet you will find it if you can remove your

definitions and expressions long enough. I sincerely hope so any way.

The saying could also be adapted to explain the way one copes with

this kind of situation.
