Calling all TNs

Luv-So sorry to hear about your mom. My heart goes out to you.

Funnygirl-you are right, I had bad delivery, and I send my heartfelt apologies to you. I had a bad day, and I took your words to mean that those of us that have recurred or had new primaries were negatives and you only wanted to hear from those with the best stories and better outcomes. That hurt me, and hurt me to think of those that have fought bravely before us like LJ and Suze and lost their battle are stories that some do not want to hear about, only the positive, but they were the most positive people I knew. Am I making sense? I don't want to hurt anybody or scare anybody. I understand the loss. I had bmx and could not have reconstruction yet, now I am just a week out from a full hysterectomy. I am moody! My past year and a half I have been in some kind of recovery. It is scary to deal with all this but you will get through it . And I hope to get through my crabbines. And get through these hotflashes.

Thinking of you Luv and your dear mom. 

to all the darling ladies new and old (not in age). We try so hard to be positive and upbeat but there are times we say it as it is.  Not because we mean to hurt or offend but because we need to share our paths.  To love, help and support each other is why we are here.  Believe you me I wish with all my heart that none of these forums were needed.  I wish we could have all met under completely different circumstances.

When I first posted on here I was scared, lonely and lost.  This turned out to be my lifeline.  I do not always agree and sometimes do not like what I read however I do know that we all came hear for a reason.  To be together through the good and the bad.

All my love 

Luv - while I am new to the board, I will be praying for you and your family.

Again it is wonderful to talk to others that understand.

CatW - I hope you get good news from your PET, so that you can ease your fears and enjoy moving forward.



Terry - Welcome! Great news that you are stable. You may be able to have your questions answered better, in the stage IV forum. Wishing you all the best!

Did you have chemotherapy? Just wondering what it is like?

Luv - Hearts and prayers are with you.......

Luv, I am so sorry to hear of what you are going through right now.  It is hard, very hard when it is something about our mom.  My prayers are with you at this time.

wow, I can't seem to say anything right lately:) Maybe it is the pain or pain meds.The less I say the better. Trying to delete all my past posts, taking awhile as I "talk" a lot. I don't want to offend and the only way to do that is keeping my mouth shut. And I am just going to step away from this thread. Have a great life.

Luv - I'm sorry about your mom. I'm sending strength and love your way - I hope you'll feel both as you face the days ahead.

Bernie - Well said. In time, the new ladies who've joined us will "get it." We certainly do.

Bak - This disease isn't pretty and we're all entitled to tell it like it is. It is our way of letting it out so it doesn't fester and completely destroy us. For some of us, this board is our lifeline, to share joys and sorrows. There is no good time for a bad day - we all know they happen when we least expect them.  Unfortunately, your post was misread or misinterpreted and you felt the need to justify it. I would like to think that any of us can post here without fear of judgement or recrimination (is that the right word? damn chemo brain!).

That's why we're here...to share, support and care for each other.

Off my soapbox now...I'll post again later. Love to all.

Luv so sorry to hear about your mom.  Praying for her and you!

Luv:  I am so very sorry to hear your most recent news concerning your mom. Sending prayers and heartfelt thoughts to you, along with added strength. 

Bak:  Please do not go anywhere, there is no reason for you to be deleting any of your posts made in the past.  If someone's feathers got ruffled by the writing of some words, a simple apology for the misunderstanding is all that is needed.  We all remember the fear and doom we all felt upon just starting out and I know I too tried to grasp at only the posts and words that were promising, but also realized at the same time, that was a totally unrealistic way to handle this new battle in my life.  Unfortunately, cancer is not a pretty disease, and while many of us will do just fine through all the trials and tribulations, some of us will not - and that is a fact that no pretty words can change.  There was nothing wrong with your delivery, other than a newbie was reading them with great fear, and that too is completely understandable.  This is a support forum - and that means that each of us on it must also learn to handle the bad news along with the good.  Our newbies need to know that in time, they will handle this much better, and until such time, we are here to hold their hands and walk alongside them during this new horror in their lives.  You have been through so much, please do not put any more than you already have on your shoulders.  There is room and a special place for each of us on this thread, and I hope your reconsider and stay - you belong here.

I agree with what these ladies have said BAK...we love you and do not want you to leave us.  We are all in this together.  I must have some really thick skin because i just never get offended by what anyone here says.  We all choose our own way through this crappy road

Terry,

Hi, and I'm sorry you are dealing with this but I'm glad you are stable. I hope you will be able to get some input from others.

In addition to BCO, have you also checked out the tnbcfoundation.org site?  There is a recurrance section on there and also very friendly people, too.
