Hugs to you..............you are going through very rough times, BUT do take a little time out and just relax, cry if you need to....................and release some of the pressure you are going through...your body can only take so much!

different strokes for different folks..when my mum was going through her cancer my way to get through it was by working one day a week as it gave me that one day not to have to have that to dwell on. you do what works for you as it is not easy but after and when it is all over you will be glad that you did what you could.

glad you were able to share with us! It is a long battle but one worth fighting. I have 14 more radiation treatments to go and my year long battle will be at a treatment end. Life is worth it, I get to sit here and read all the great stuff you all do. I am better, can walk again and even see now to sew when I have the energy! Keep at it and smile every day.

We are always here for one another, whether we realize the importance of what we are saying or sharing at any given moment.
I just want to emphasize that there is NOTHING WEAK about having a good cry to relieve stress. You are strong at the hospital and every day as you face the challenges of dealing with all the issues that you must!!! Tears are a perfectly natural way of letting off some of the built up pressure. Please never belittle yourself for using what nature/God has provided.
I like to envision our group as holding hands in a loving supportive circle around all of it's members who need it at any given time. The circle flows as those inside move to the outside when they can and back inside as need requires. A moving living thing that is always here.

I'd like to add my prayers for you and your hubby along with the rest on this board. I am glad you find comfort and support here. I am recovering from bilateral knee replacement and this site helps me so much. Such a blessing to be distracted from pain and find moments of laughter ( see Ditter's jokes! ) It certainly help a lot. all the best to you both. Cry when you need to and laugh when you can.
