Hi Patty,
Glad you found Cathy's Cafe - Whilst it doesn't offer the interactive support - it has quite a refreshing and upbeat feel to it. Less sterile, in a manner, than many other cancer sites. I really did feel like I'd stumbled into a little cafe. but then again, perhaps that's because I wanted it to.
Belief and attitude are incredibly powerful tools. You are all in my thoughts. Keep going but never forget it's okay to fall and more often than not good. Being strong means allowing yourself to acknowledge you're feeling weak. At Least I think so.
Mum's cancer has spread to her stomach and un untreated haitus hernia now means that half her stomach is in her esophageous too. doctor's have said there is nothing left they can do.
But she's home, i've taken time out and we need more courage and strength now than we ever have before.
I'm coping through one day mantras.
What if there is no past, no future, only now?
I can cope now. today.
all I have to do it get through today.
I feel stronger
