My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer

Moth, I have appreciated all your posts since the first day I joined this community. I love your smarts and your passion and your rage. Hugs and love to you, and screams of anger and frustration into the universe that this is happening.

Peace & love, dear Moth.

Moth, I am so sad to read this after all you have gone through to fight this disease. I will be thinking of you and your family now.

Moth - you have an inner strength that will carry you forward. May the rest of your road bring you peace and comfort.

Moth—this disease is an absolute fucker. I’m so sorry to read this. In my short time here so far, I’ve seen you as a smart, genuine, honest, compassionate, helpful, generally awesome person. I hope that you find peace and are surrounded with love at home. Know that there are so many people here thinking of you. ❤️

Moth, Like others here, I wish you and your family peace and comfort during this difficult time. I hope you are able to share some time with your family in the days ahead. You have brought a great deal of knowledge and support to everyone on theses boards, and we have appreciated all you have done. You have brought light to so many.

Hugs and prayers from, Lynne

oh Moth, I barely have words. Just tears. Wishing peace and love for you and your family. Thank you for being a part of our lives too

Moth, I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you feel all the love and appreciation everyone on this site has for you. I always admired your knowledge ,strength and determination that were conveyed through your posts. Thank you for all your endless support you gave to everyone here.

Moth--I saw your post and had to respond. You were one of the first to help me through the first weeks of diagnosis with your kindness. Thank you so much for that; you were calming at a time when I most needed it. I will remember your kindness and your willingness to help, always. I wish this wasn't happening to you. This must be terribly hard news for you to share. Thinking of you at this difficult time, and wishing for strength for your family. Damn cancer to fucking hell.

To others in Mel's Living Room--I apologize for intruding here, though I feel like I know you all. I read this thread each time I come to the forum. Thanks for understanding; I just had to "speak" to Moth.

iw422. Li , Cookie and any other lurkers. Don't be lurkers. Come join our family. It helps me through so many days. Hugs to welcome you all. ..

Hugs Moth

I have been a very quiet supporter since I joined/was diagnosed in 2020 (I like how that was phrased--thank you). I have been both helped by Moth and followed her the entire time. She was also a member of another board and I "knew" her there too and was one of the people offering support when she was first diagnosed with BC. I haven't been posting since the board changes and during those changes I stopped (even though I am still signed up) receiving e-mail updates.

All of that to say, thank you for letting me pop into your living room to offer my love and sadness to Moth. Also to offer some gentle hugs to her and to all of you. Your support and love for each other is truly wonderful. I have no support in my real life but just reading your posts makes me feel much less alone.

I do hope Moth is able to come back and read all of the posts to her. All my love, hugs, and appreciation Moth.

Edit: during the board changes it messed up all my dates and possibly some info on my dx and treatment. I tried fixing it and it never "sticks" so I just left it.

Mel Thanks for inviting us in to your living room! I am a new Stage IV as of June and just discovered your living room a couple weeks ago. Which I am so glad I did! I absolutely love the way you ladies interact, I can feel the love you have for one another, you are all incredible supporters. Honestly I wanted to join in but was trying to follow all your stories and didn't want to be intrusive.

This will not be the last time you here from me as I am trying to learn how to live with this stage . My emotions have been all over trying to make sense of it all. I am typically a strong positive person since i was diagnosed in 2016 and lately I'm finding it more challenging. This is the only place that people truly understand what this feels like. However sometimes it can be depressing with all the sad news of all these amazing women being taken by this dreadful disease!!!
I will continue to try to find something positive in each day.

Also your original post when you opened your living room was so beautiful, brought tears to my eyes. You are a fabulous writer and have a talent in the way you express your feelings in writing.

Be well

Cookie
