    I'm still scared

    I'm still scared even after 8 years.  There is not a day that I'm awake that I'm still not thinking about it.  One of my main problems is because of the constant bathroom issues that I've got so that is a reminder every day.  No cancer movies for me either - never will anymore, just can't do it.  I'm one that worries so much about everything anyway so if there was one little thing wrong in the movie that a person experiences as a symptom - then I've got it.  Terrible, terrible feeling.  Just remember you are not alone.  Hugs to you.

    Aw, thanks Kim! Yeah, we need

    Aw, thanks Kim! Yeah, we need some cancer movies where the person gets better! It's like when Disney used to always have the sympathy character being an orphan. Or the dog dies. Cliche situations that make people sad. Enough already!
