    ........
    Nicely said by all.....we're in this together.....we all get it....I'm very lucky to have a very supportive family, both my husband and grown kids and a great, supportive extended family......no they don't know what it's like to be in my shoes, thank God, but they are there to give me the support I need and most important, their unconditional love......I actually have cousins that are coming from Ohio next week, I'm in NC to visit....so I am blessed..

    And all the pink Sisters.....I have no siblings....I always wanted a sister, never dreamed I end up with more sisters than I can count! Of which I am so grateful for....

    Hugs, Nancy

    I don't know what I would
    I don't know what I would have done without my husband, who I adore, my family and my friends. They have all always been there for me and still are, no matter what. I pray none of them know what it's like to have cancer, and, I never expected them to understand what it was like. They can't know, no one can, unless they have actually been through it. They all try, and, I love them for that.


    The pink sisters here are the best and have helped me more than I could ever repay.


    I've always enjoyed your posts Mary. I'm here for you, if you ever need me.


    Love, Leeza

    You know I had several neighbors husbands actually walk over to me in my garden after diagnosis and ask me directly how I was. My brother and I do not talk and probably does not know that I have had this and my husband has has a heart attack. One lady in a restaurant admired one of my hats a year or so ago so I briefly explained to her why I was wearing a hat, because she is a woman she probably already knew, but then she said directly bless you and good luck. That kind of person I like and could of hugged her, a complete stranger. A neighbor spotted me in a hat and recognized the style as a chemo head cover, she immediately asked if i was suffering from what her friend had just dealt with and I told her yes. She was very uplifting as many others. Same with a death, the first thing I would say to someone is how sorry I am and is there anything I can do. I do understand some people's lack of dealing with bad news when it is not nasty but just their way, that is different. Generally men's makeup is different and they can be very hurtful without even knowing or meaning to do so. Women too but not so much. Make care and keep posting

    Totally Perplex?
    Dear Mary,

    How was your relationship with your brothers before your diagnose with cancer?

    You had your dear husband, daughter, son-in-law there to help you along with your sister and father. I am not certain why you would needed your brothers or what you expected them to do for you.

    I have two brothers and a sister. I can't for the life of me understand what I would have needed them to do for me. I truly don't understand why your are so upset with your brothers.

    Shed some light for me, I can't be the only one.

    I am not being derisive, I am totally perplex about it.

    Best,

    Doris

    You are very special to us
    You are very special to us also Mary!


    Hugs, Kylez

    Inspire
    Thank you Mary for sharing your story. I have had some of the experiences you have had and often wonder what happened to my life in the past year. It is so hard for us to get thru this, we are a symbol of human mortality. Not saying that we are gonna croak right away, but that our diagnosis puts our life on a silver platter, some people are not strong enough to deal with the plight. I have a few siblings, some have not been there for me. It seems like you are a very cool person, in touch with yourself and the world around you. You have inspired me, I will try to be more accepting, of others and of myself.

    Annie
