Joining an online support group for people with your type of cancer would connect you to people in your exact situation. For what it's worth, used Depends after childbirth, my best friend for Crohns, my mother after uterine prolapse, my late grandfather for prostate cancer. In my eyes, it isn't a shame, it's a medical condition and it provides good piece of mind. One day (or hour) at a time. (Out of the box suggestion but a guided therapeutic psychedelic session with a professional in a controlled setting has helped many in your shoes.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523502406395488788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-82485812314596297882024-03-18T10:15:50.746-05:002024-03-18T10:15:50.746-05:00Oh my dear Anon, I'm thinking of you today.

Cancer is so so complicated and it sounds as if you're feeling very alone. I'm tempted to share my father's wisdom, "This too shall pass" but oh, the "this" for you now, it's so much to bear. I hope you reach out to just one friend/one family member, someone you can trust to just really listen to you, if you ask them to. I'm sending you all the strongest of strengths , whatever path you choose. ~AK </i>Alannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-11502461411758329292024-03-10T14:44:10.855-05:002024-03-10T14:44:10.855-05:00This page was meant for me today. My cancer diagno...This page was meant for me today. My cancer diagnosis was three months ago, and I am not doing well. This from a "super achiever" who has always been blessed. I am 88+ years old, and my well-meaning family and friends remind me that I have had a good life -- but I want more. I have had three bouts of chemo and three months of horrible stomach problems; I have ruined the carpeting in the house with surprise "accidents" and am ashamed to have visitors see the mess. I scheduled a carpet cleaning for yesterday and had to cancel when I had another accident. I walk with a walker (balance issues), and by the time I feel the rush coming, I have to struggle to my feet, take hold of the walker, and try to walk quickly -- I am not doing well. A friend suggested yesterday that I concentrate on "quality of life" and not continue treatment. I admit it is tempting. My doctor is talking surgery -- I am terrified. Your story is encouraging and the survivor soup sounds wonderful. Forgive me for writing to you; I can't really talk to my family. They all expect me to fight -- Please say a prayer for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-8182986668577383792019-10-14T17:03:56.909-05:002019-10-14T17:03:56.909-05:00Alanna, I have been with you so long in this amazi...Alanna, I have been with you so long in this amazing veggie experience that you are like family.
