    You have been thru so much
    You have been thru so much it's normal to cry, you have to get it out some how. I pray things will start to get better. I finished chemo on 3-17-10 I would be upset if I had to go back.
    The best to you and your family.

    Oh shortscakes..I am so
    Oh shortscakes..I am so sorry to hear of all the sadness that is going on with you. I do hope things start looking up for you and I will be sending good vibes your way and some for your dad! Please talk with your doctor and get something to take the edge off. You have a lot on your plate right now. I'm sure they will be more than happy to prescribe something for you. Big hugs! Tawny

    so sorry
    Hi Shortcakes,

    I'm so sorry life keep hitting you with more challenges. Please ask your Dr for something to help you. Your cancer battle is enough to have to deal with. Add on losing your mom and your dad's illness----of course you are crying. Sadness (and a lot of other emotions) is perfectly normal given all you are going through. But, I think you need something if you start and end each day crying. Can you bring yourself to respond honestly about how you are doing when someone asks? Not everyone who asks---just one person you feel is safe and supportive. I think you would benefit from crying with someones arms holding you. You know we all send you our cyber shoulders to cry on, hugs, love and support. I so badly want to give you a real hug---I can't so I'm asking you to find one person who will. You and yours are in my prayers.

    Hugs, El

    you are going through a
    you are going through a tough time I would be crying too. I take a whiff of lexapro and it helps me immensly, maybe you should ask, as it will help you and improve your immune system. (increased seratonin) lots of docs prescribe to almost all their patints for that reason. lots of Hugs! Girl Power! (love how you sign that)

    Shortscake,
    Being strong takes it's toll, if you need help, ask your doctor. No shame in that. Crying so much (and, my dear, you have had alot to cry over - more than your share, it seems) will zap your strength, I find.

    Do good things for yourself - eat right, drink water and, if you need to, ask your Dr for antidepressants.

    Hugs, positive thoughts and prayers to you and your family,

    Sue

    I'm sending prayers and giant cyber-hugs your way. You have already had more on your plate than anyone should have to, and you just seem to keep on keeping on, but don't feel like you have to be strong for others' sake.

    Please talk to your doctor about taking something to help you through this difficult time. The disease and the chaos you've had in your life lately can alter the normal chemistry and balance in your body, and sometimes you need help to bring it back into balance. It is not a crutch, it is oftentimes necessary for us to just be ourselves.

    Girl power,
    Cindy

    you are always in my thoughts. I have been through a lot and it is normal that you have been crying. Please talk to your oncologist and ask for help: both medications and GOOd clinical social worker or Good phycologist. You are a very strong person , however little help would not hurt.
    Sending positive thoughts and prayers to your way!.

    Shortcake,
    I am wishing you and your family the very best through this very difficult time. You cry when you need to. Also, I think it's a good idea to ask your doctor for a prescription to help you through this. That is what they're there for. I don't know what I would have done without Xanax and Lexapro through treatment. I don't take the Lexapro anymore, but I still take Xanax as needed. For instance, I'm going in for my annual MRI today and you better believe I'll be popping a xanax before I go in. I'm thinking of you.

    Shortscake~ your beaming
    Shortscake~ your beaming face is a joy to behold...I am saddened to know that so many things are clouding it and are causing you pain. The emotional pains are harder sometimes than the physical ones, and I hope you take to heart how much we value you and love you. And with that in mind that you will indeed avail yourself of any help to get you through this unsettled time. I have a sneaky suspicion that you would be one of the first ones to urge your family and friends, including your CSN family members to cry when we need to, and to go to the Dr for prescription help...it would be part of us putting the GRRRRR in Girl-Power and taking charge of our lives even when we think the control is being taken from us.
    Take care of you! We send you enveloping hugs, and the courage to do whatever you need to do.

    Hugs,
    Chen♥

    You are one very beautiful and very brave young woman! I wish I could do more for you than to just put you in my prayers, but, since that is all I can give to you, I will most certainly keep you in my prayers.

    Love, Jeanne ♥

    P.S. I just want to add that I hope you will keep us updated Shortscake on how you are doing.
