Hi All,

Thanks for the replies and suggestions and encouragement. I feel

guilty about complaining about my upcoming CT scan after reading all

the stories and what all of you are going through or have been

through. I want to stay here and am hoping that I will get myself in

an attitude that is more positive than it is now so that maybe I can

help someone else that is faced with this dreaded disease.

I do have a family that has been there for me every step of the way

and I am so thankful for that. I have been in counseling and am on

medication so I am trying my best to learn how to live with the ups

and downs of a cancer diagnosis.

Thanks for listening and am keeping all of you in my prayers.

Hi Sue.... don't you ever, ever, ever feel guilty around us!!! That's what

we are here for...to help, support, love no matter how you feel.... your

feelings are very valid!!! We just don't want you to STAY down.... and just by

being here and expressing your feelings, fears, joys, whatever.... you ARE

helping others, b/c there is always someone who feels the same or similar as

you

are.... we need to validate each others feelings, b/c if one isn't going

through it or hasn't gone through it, they can't possibly correctly validate

your feelings no matter how close the person is or how hard they try. It's

just

not the same... I'm soooo glad you have family that are supportive....

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle
