Its been 4 months I can't believe it still...
I've been having a tough but ok time over the last 4 months when I lost my mom with colon cancer. Its Xmas eve and i find myself going back here. I used to go to Cancer Surivors Network just to read stories to calm myself down when my mom was on treatment for 4 months.....i saw alot of hope. But when she was taken away…
Two Months
Today is a tough day. My husband died two months ago today. The children's Christmas program and the Christmas music at church really got to me. During prayer time I asked for prayers for those still fighting cancer and for those working to find a cure. I got lots of hugs afterward. The tears just kept coming. I was ok,…

I know you can't help, just need to speak
I know that no one here can help me, but I just feel the need to say how I'm dealing with my loss and pain. My husband, who was my best friend, passed from lung cancer on 10-13-09. I haven't been copping well at all. I'm on several medications, but the panic attacks are the worst. I can't even leave the house anymore. I…
pancreatic cancer
My husband was told he had pancreatic cancer stage 4 a little over a month ago. I am finding it very hard coping and still trying to be strong for him. Good days and bad. I'm trying to cope. We have a one and a two year old. How do you get the strength to keep going? All I seem to have is prayers to keep me going.
Never thought I would need permission to grieve
I have had enough of people telling me I have to be strong for my children. Apparently I need to get on with the business of life. In the meantime it feels like my life went on pause 11 days ago when I watched my husband sigh his last breath. I can't seem to find the space to mourn my loss. Everyone keeps trying to keep me…
Another 'chemo Christmas' and a 'same old/same old' New Year'c celebration. :(
After a glorious 5-month remission where I actually felt GOOD and had hair and eyebrows and a LIFE, my cancer has recurred and I am back in chemo. It's hard enough to know that now my cancer is considered uncurable and my treatment 'palliative'. But having it happen at Christmas makes it particularly hurtful a blow.…

If things could not get worst,
Well if things could not get worst, As you know Jack passed and I was finally getting back to work and I was doing home health care, but walmart asked me to come back and so I quit my homehealth job and went to walmart which I made less at but at least I was not care taking, And they told me at walmart I was only…

My husband passed away of head and neck cancer on October 31. He had fought for 2 years - went through chemos, radiations, a test trial . . . Mike died at home surrounded by his family. When he passed, my 21 year old and I bathed and dressed him, which was one of the most difficult things I have ever done in my life. I am…
Does it get easier?
As you all know, my husband passed on 11/24/09 and since the funeral I have just been going through the motions. I don't sleep much and then I force myself to get up in the morning and do what needs to be done. My family have all disappeared into their own lives again and life goes on. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law…

You would think by now it wouldn't bother me - cold people I mean, sigh
Sheeesh, what a shocker. Is stupid the right word? Ignorant, injured in some way? All of the above? Who knows, but all I do know is that it seems that even time and experience, with people who seem so heartless when it comes to dealing with the news of my cancer past, even time and experience don't dull the hurt when they…
Is there anything you wish the healthcare professionals would have done differently throughout your
When I was going through radiation and chemo treatment for my anal cancer in 2008, I wish my caregivers would have had conversations with me about the whole me, not just my tumor they were working to rid me of. I had complications with scar tissue in the vagina, and though I was told that my husband and I should be able to…
