cancer is killing my spirit

[Donna H]

OMG, SoCalGal my heart breaks for you. I am close to my one year DX (this Friday) so I have no real idea what you have been going thru. I am sure you are sick of hearing "Be strong" or "Stay positive". People who have not gone thru this journey have no idea what it does to a person - both physically and mentally. I say laugh when you can and cry when you need to. Please know that everyone on this site is thinking good thoughts for you and sending you strength and encouragement. You are stronger than you realize. All my best -

Flori, Please hold on and hang in there. You have so much spunk and spirit...I just love that. I know the road has been long and I guess as we age ( I suspect I am older than you...darn!) other non related to cancer issues set in to deal with, for me its the knee, but that is even harder when cancer is in the forefront of our lives. Give yourself a little time to be down and then try to kick it in gear. If you need some meds to take the edge off, go for it...you deserve to take care of mental/emotional self, too. I have been stage four for almost nine years now and especially today after the Adriana news I am in a total funk. But when I look around at my friends, even, there are people worse off dealing with illness. You may just be one of those outliers...and continue to do well! Best wishes always SoCal Gal! Keep those dancing shoes on and as you say...cuck fancer!! Hugs, Cathy aka Cee to Adriana and Ceese to Pink Girl....
