I first want to say that the last thing I was trying to do was to drive you away from the forum. I remember when you had your original surgery and colostomy and infection and so forth. I also have had cancer "3 times". Actually it was all one time, just kinda drawn out.
I have had 3 surgeries since I was diagnosed for a liver met and 2 subsequent lung mets. I am 34 years old and I could be really pissed off about it. I am just trying to find a way to deal w/it all myself and what I wrote to you is how I am dealing w/ it. My surgeries have gone well and I have not had anywhere near the complications that you have had, but I have found that the mental aspect of healing is the hardest part. It is just as important as the physical and I believe that thoughts are powerful! I was just trying to throw some ideas out there for you to consider adding to your repatoire. I have not gone the "all natural" route. I use it in addition to what traditional treatments I have had.
If you must leave the board to take time to think I hope it is not because of me....You can say whatever you want on here. I have replied to other posts you have written over the years, BTW....
Please, do not be offended, I was just trying to help you.
I am not "blaming the victim". I have been victimized too!
Take care, Susan.
P.S. If you really aren't peeping on this board, I will cut and paste this and send it to you.
