comebacks
I just thought of a comeback for the one That God never gives us more than we can handle. I've caught myself saying this a few times. Won't anymore though. If God never gives us more than we can handle why are people commiting suicide. I've had people comment My you're so thin {I've always been small} I tell them want to…
Jobs for cancer survivors
I had back to back bouts of cancer which took me out of the workplace for the better part of three years. Now that I am fine, I can't find a job, and of course, i can't mention my cancer experience. Anyone know of any resources or websites I can go to. Anyone know of job opening in the broadcast field? Thanks...
Nervous breakdown?-not for the faint
I think that I'm deciding against a hospital stay and treatment-and I know what this means. This means, at the rate that my tumor is growing, that I will be very lucky to spend Christmas with my parents and family. I think this is what I'm going to do. I don't want them to put me through hell, and then not make it. But…
abnormal cells
I was just informed that my pap test came back with "abnormal cells", this is the second test, and frankly I'm scared to death. I have another Dr. appointment in 2 weeks but I am going crazy worrying. Does anyone know what this means? Has this happened to anyone else? Does this mean I have cancer? HELP! I really need some…

JUDE - EXAMPLE 1 [back to list of Novenas] / How to Pray a Novena Before beginning this Novena, first read it over and absorb what you will be saying.

Need Advice on Emotional Support
Hi all! A year ago, my girlfriend's--then my colleague's--father has been diagnosed with colon cancer, stage 3, with metastasis to two nearby lymph nodes. He underwent surgery, yet no further treatment could be administered since his surgery wound did not and has not healed. Although, quite surprisingly, a recent CT scan…
I feel like giving up
I am feeling more sick than ever from the treatment and now am deciding whether I want to continue on with it. I feel so stressed because I know if I stop I may not have much longer. But is it worth it if I feel so sick and weak all the time? I think it's hitting me harder than ever that I may not be here much longer. The…
New at being sick and terminal...
How the heck do I wrap my head around this besides denial? Please help me decide....If I allow myself to be admitted to the hospital this Thursday for treatment...am I checking in to check out, so to speak? I'm so scared. I'm not ready to die yet. I don't want to die-I don't know what happens after someone dies, so that…
Help! My husband is only 38 and we have 2 very young kids.
My husband of 10 years was diagnosed Sept 2008 with nasopharyngeal cancer. Our babies were just 2 years old and 6 months old at the time. The doctors said it had metastasized to his throat. He went 5 months of chemo/radiation, lost 40 lbs and all his hair. It was terrible for us but we were hopeful. The kids, especially…

They told him to get a transplant but he is to risky to do so due to the clots in his portal vein. Wow what can I say the emotions we are dealing with right now are…
My mom has cancer... I need some advice!

I was crushed... my mother is very very strong and she held it together but i just crumbled right in front of everyone. In December 2007 her uncle found out that he had…
40 with 2yr and lost
My husband was diagnosed with cancer Apr 08, right after our son turned 1. He put up a couragous battle. We took many trips to TX when we felt nothing more could be done at home. He passed at home on 6/23/09 at 42yrs old. I am now struggling terribly with the loss. My son is 2 and a half and constantly asks for his Daddy.…

I'm heated!
I know this is very superficial... My close friends are all very angry at me right now. I've told them that I'm barely coping and have too much on my plate. they're angry because I'm not answering my phone and I'm not coming over to 'hang out' and I'm just staying to myself. I've told most about the phone problems I'm…
