And so far, those in my life have let me! Now Vasi, don't be so afraid that you are not paying attention to your body. IF you should ever have to walk through this, it is better to catch it early!

Why do cancer victim bemoan "not being strong" and holding pity party? Why not? Who can remain consistently strong during the horrors of chemo and the inevitable fears and non-paranoid imaginings? Except possibly the youth of Sparta.<br><br>People who don't have cancer are terrified of it (I am one of them), how much greater is the burden for those who ACTUALLY do. Moan, weep, scream. It is your pain and you can cry if you want to. If your love ones are damaged by the deluge of your tears, then create your own personal crying space and cry alone with your God. I do this when horrible things occur in my life - seek out a dark little zone behind lock door, away from the frightened questions of family, and give in to an orgy of tears. It helps.<br><br>Vasinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217599373123997113.post-7408709684820184222012-03-21T23:55:57.458-04:002012-03-21T23:55:57.458-04:00See, its comments like this that help give me back...See, its comments like this that help give me backbone.

I remarked to Christie that had I been diagnosised with cancer, I would STILL be curled up in the fetal position. At times you may not feel very strong or brave, but we both think you are.

Despite the turmoil you’re feeling inside you are holding up incredibly well and showing true strength and courage.<br> <br>Canser is not fun and chemo is even worse. Your treatment protocol sounds brutal. I sometimes breakdown just reading about it and can’t imagine what it must be like for you to be going through it all.<br> <br>I wish there was something I could do to make things easier for you. Remember that the low's you’re feeling now will eventually turn into high's.<br><br>JMJoe Marshallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15660615582977261198noreply@blogger.com
