Need to Talk !
I am a two year survivor of ovarian cancer. My husband who is 46 has Stage IV Renal Cell Cancer. This is the hardest thing I have ever been through. What I went through is nothing like what he is going through. Life has changed so much for us. It gets a little overwhelming sometimes. It helps to talk to others who are…
I'm such a mess
Had single mastectomy, 10 lymph nodes removed, followed by chemo and Tamoxifen 3 1/2 years ago. We have just returned to the States from living in a Middle Eastern country for 7 years. I had the surgery & treatment here. My husband had to go back over there to work. Came back when I was finished, collected me and we…
Missing My Mom
I recently lost my mom to a 3 year battle with Breast Cancer and AML. She was 59, and had 4 beautiful grandchildren, 2 of which are mine. She has been gone for 6 months now, and I still hurt to the core! I can see her face sitting on our sofa crying when she was first diagnosed, and it seems like yesterday. She, like all…
Mother with cancer living alone
My 84 year old mother was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago. Today she found out it was inoperable. We don't know what the next step will be for her. My father died of cancer in 1986 at age 70. My sister died of cancer on New Year's Eve, 2001 at age 52. Along with that, my husband's cousin died suddenly…
NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE (FEAR)
I am afraid that my cervical cancer has returned. I am currently experiences some of the same symptoms I had when I found out had cervical cancer (bleeding after intercourse).

Smart beyond their years
I have come to this site not all to long ago, but I need to say to all of you.. With all of your stories and expereience you have not only enlightened me, but empowered me. The knowledge and compassion all of you posess is truly a blessing. We have all unfortunately been touched by cancer. Sometimes it is all consuming.…
Preparing for a spouse to die
My husband only has a few months to live. He has had cancer for 4 years. How do you prepare yourself emotionally for the dying process. He is very mood and hard to get along with sometimes. When he wasn't showing any symptoms it wasn't real to me, but now the signs are very real. I have a great faith in God and I know he…
New to CSN, saying hello and sending love to all!
Hi everyone, I am a breast cancer survivor of 2 years now, during my treatment my Sister was my greatest supporter next to my Son. She was just diagnosed with lung and head cancer. Our roles have completly reversed and I only pray I can be as strong for her as she was for me.
Emotional turmoil
I finished my radiation treatments one month ago today. During the treatments, I started experiencing some really strong emotional reactions, and the doctor put me on anti-depressants "to get me through a rough time." I seemed to be doing pretty well until this past weekend. Since then, it's been like I had never taken…

I dont know where to go because I feel that i need someone to talk to! I am new to all of this message board and hope that someone…

Wife of 33 yr old rectal cancer survivor
I am 30 years old and just this last week (March 6 2003) my husband had a cancerous tumor removed. I am having a hard time dealing with the fact the dr told me if it wasnt for the bleeding my husband would have died from non treatment. I never thought in the world my husband at 33 would get colorectal cancer. No history in…

I really dont have any deep thoughts, and i cant understand what any of you are going through. i guess i got lucky to have such a short…
More Deep Thoughts
Just Like Alice I peer into the looking glass, No wonderland I see But a topsy turvy lonely place Where cancer beckons me. Where up is down, and left is right Where no one comes to play And nothing is as it should seem And darkness rules the day. Where people whom I thought Did not notice me at all Rushed to my aid to…
