I came here a year and half ago because I was scared and I needed support.  I was looking for information but I needed to know I could survive, that I could beat this.  Its been a rough time but Im feeling stronger and I have found amazing support and love on these boards. 

There are so many new "faces" and that makes me sad.  Whats really sad though is there has been someone who is a seasoned poster who's post have be come more and more negative.  She really hasn't been anyone who gives hope lately. In fact I down right try to avoid reading much of the stuff because its scarey enough with out that crap.  I really wish she would step back and regroup because those new "faces" need the facts but also the positive stuff, too....and there is positive things, damn it.

I dont need to say who it is, I really think if she looks inside she will see herself.  At least I hope so.  I hope no one takes defense in this post, I just couldn't be silent anymore about it.

    Thank you.  I kind of figured I made people unhappy about what I said since no one responded at all.  But I just got tired of it and I hope that if anyone saw themself they will stop.

    Teresa,

    A tasteful PM to the person you are referring to might be more helpful. Posting a generic message might make someone you are not referring to, think it was them...

    My Battle - My Victory

    Yesterday I fought a Battle, But I did not fight alone-

    I had a Protector - A Guide, I was never on my own

    This enemy came to me suddenly, No warning as to prepare-

    And before I knew what happened, this enemy was everywhere.

    I felt so overwhelmed; Did no one know my pain?

    How could this be happening to me, How did it know my name?

    Today I fight this battle, The enemy with me still

    It has not yet taken control, Nor has it broke my will

    It is hurtful and it is cruel, It doesn't care the damage it causes

    It is wearing down my defenses; I can soon count my losses.

    It is ruthless and emotionless, Its purpose to destroy

    I can not, must not let it, Will not let it have control

    Hear me when I tell you, Please listen when I say

    I have many scars from this battle; I do struggle from day to day

    It takes many things from me; Within my body it has much power

    It affects loved ones around me; The battle has become a war

    You may not know by looking at me, Then again maybe you can,

    That this enemy shows no mercy, I fall when I can no longer stand

    It does not care what age you are, or your status here on Earth

    It doesn't count your income, or what you think you are worth

    This battle that I speak of, Cancer is its name

    And because I continue to fight, I will never be the same!

    Tomorrow may never come for me; I live only in the present

    My life is right here, right now, What I have is this very moment

    But I will continue to fight, For I learned down on my knees

    is where I fight this battle, It is where God gives me the victory.
