Hey Irquake-  Are you doing okay?  If you need to talk send me a private reply....I am always here. Skylog

Yes I am fine Skylog...most of the time.....sometimes late at night when I can't sleep I get a little loopy and give myself a one person pity party!  Take care.

Skylog.....just wanted to say that you have always been so supportive on this board and have helped me since I joined.  Sometimes just having someone who knows your fears and what it feels like is such a comfort.  It's scary and I don't like to talk about it to my family because I want to be strong for my kids and sent an example of how you handle problems.  My son just returned from Baghdad and HE told ME "Mom...you are one of the strongest people I know."  And to think he was literally in the war zone.  I'm honored that he respects me.   Did you say you had tall cell papillary?  I thought you responded to my question.  Not many of us out there.  Thanks again for your support. Tara

 

Tara, thank you for your kind words.  I know when I went through all the treatment and diets, and surgeries, and everything, I felt so alone, and scared.  I just want to help anyone I can get through it.  I joined this group after my RAI, I just wish I would have found it in the beginning.  I  reply to as many questions as I can in hopes to make someone elses journey not as scarey as mine.  Some days I think I need to stop and move past this stage in my life, but I am not ready yet.  I still need support.  My husband is great, but as you all know, noone can really understand until you haave been there.  Chins up gals, it does get better.      Always here for you. Skylog

Maybe that was the "reason" (for lack of a better word) that we have had this experience....to help others.  Your positive comments have certainly helped me.  We all have much in common here on the board.  I started answering a lot of posts, too, because I know how much I have appreciated an experience or helpful comments from someone who knows first-hand what I am going through.  It's a journey I hope I don't have to take again, but I know where to turn now if I do have to do it all again.  Tara

 

Me too! Cheers!

Please let me tell all of you that I am so appreciative to have someone to talk to also, I have two boys 17 & 20 and my husband, who are there for me, but also have very busy lives, so I am alone most of the time and have to deal with alot of how I am feeling alone, because i also don't want them to feel sad about this, and of course you always feel that no one else knows how or what you are feeling on a daily basis. I love this site and love the fact that everyone is here to help and being so open about the facts and confirmation of what's ahead of us.

love to you ALL!
