Feeling so sad
Hi I signed up here when i first was diagnosed, but then havent had internet. I hate to ask for advice in my first post, but really feel so alone and unloved. I was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer about 18 months ago. My husband has never been extremely loving and is an alcoholic. In fact right before I was diagnosed…
I need help through this... I feel so lost and alone
My mother has been fighting stage 4 breast cancer for the past 2 years with radiation and chemo but I just got the news that she has taken a turn for the worse. I am 27 years old and I have a 21 month old daughter of my own. I live in CA and my mom and dad and 3 baby sisters live in FL, so I am flying there this up coming…
I need advice.....
My mother passed away from lung cancer on Feb. 20, 2012...and I was her caretaker on and off for 10 years (2 years for cancer). I have accepted that I'm 25 with only one living parent but yesterday my dad asked me how I felt about him dating (my parents were married for 30 years). The truth is I want him to be happy and I…
I need emotional support
I haven't posted on this board before. I've posted a lot....probably too much....on the brain cancer board over the last three years.

My windpipe was almost closed up with tumor before a Doc found it. they thought I had asthma , blocked arteries. then when the arteries were clear, it was just shortness of…
My theropy for the mind
I am nearly one year into the reality of cancer. I was diagnosed in October of last year. Many of you are probably aware that late nights (the wee hours of the night) are not our friend. I rarely sleep more than 1 1/2 hour maybe two at a stretch. My first thoughts upon waking is usually, "What is wrong now? Why do I keep…
My marriage is falling apart
I am so lost. I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia a few months ago. I don't have insurance, not much money at all. I have been married for over 20 years to a great guy. Only, I am now realizing that I overlooked a lot of things before, that I can't overlook now. I am pretty young, in my 40's. He seems…
I am in love with this song and it's helping me so much
I listened to it daily and it makes me relax and feel so good. Celine Dione and Josh Groban's "The Prayer". LOVE it so much. A short part of it is not in English and you can get the translation by googling "The Prayer" lyrics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhxIjRO6WjI
