Yep, another person is/has or is thinking of leaving this forum...

This is sort of turning into a gang-type mentality.

Tomorrow is a new day.  

Get some good restorative sleep.  

Go hug somebody you love.  

Really you can just let this go?

Pretty please?

With sugar on top?

Let's see, the doctor tells

Let's see, the doctor tells you you have stage 4 cc, spread to your liver. You ask if there is a cure. The doctor says no, you have a few months to maybe a couple of years, with standard treatment. Basically, you have a doctor telling you you have at the most a couple of years. My fiance was told 1.5 years at the most with chemo. He looked for an alternative and found one. We both use it. I am not promoting it. But I also should not be put down, nor anyone else be put down, for trying alternatives if they wish. It is working for both of us (we both feel better than we have in years; my fiance only feels sick when he increases one pill up from the half dose chemo pills he taking now in the a.m. and p.m.; he then goes back to half dose and he is fine). I have stated on my profile that my fiance didn't know, personally, a couple of people where he works that this worked on, I would not use it myself. I agree with manwithnoname, especially when your doctor tells you there is no cure, u are terminal, u have x amount of months left. We both have the same oncologist who just cannot believe how well we are both doing. He is especially amazed that I have tolerated the chemo tx so well. I will have my 8th folfox Friday, take the pump home over the weekend. I have had minimal side-effects, thank God. I am back at school, full of more energy than I had before I got this dx in November. My liver has shrunk to the point I now have to lift my head up so he can feel it. I will have my colostomy reversed in June. The surgeon who told me I had two years was shocked when I walked into his office last Thursday to discuss the reversal. Our oncologist says, "Keep doing what you are doing;" he knows about the alternative. I'm not going to to on about drug companies and such. I guess I don't understand why they do trials and such with the chemicals, but they won't do trials with the alternative stuff that is out there. That's a debate I don't want to get into, but if people are told, "This is going to kill you in 3 months" I think I'd be checking into some other things.

glad to hear this supplement is working, just to let you (and everyone) know you are free to talk about anything you want here that doesn't break CSN T.O.S.

Thank you, because if I got

Thank you, because if I got one from you , Winter, I'd copy and post it here. Someone mentioned gang mentallity. It seems if someone stands up to you, you have a small group that comes to your side. That's fine. But if I was saying things that were so hurtful that people started thinking I hated them, I'd feel very bad about myself. My hope for you is that you think before you post about how it comes across. I'm wondering why your friends figured out it was you I was referring to? I was hoping you would figure it out and maybe tone down a bit. Accusing someone about knowing someone before, making it sound like some kind of conspiracy, was something. Watching you do this to people is sad. Again, people should be able to post without attacks. I hope you find some peace within yourself so maybe you can stop this nonsense. I'm sure those ladies are probably going to have something to say to me, or flag me, or whatever. I'm reminded about "cliques." In my years of teaching I've seen this happen as young as first grade. It's really too bad to be watching it here...

learned working with children as it seems you may teach elementary-age school children.

If it is anything like being a parent ... I imagine that you have to have a great deal of patience and some ever-ready tricks up your sleeve to help de-escalate tense situations.  

Think of the board as a big classroom full of often sensitive, sometimes ill-behaved and unruly children ... help us calm the tense situations with your personal skills.

And please, please, do not respond to this post with a negative one.  I am reaching out to you as respectfully as I can.  Please hear me. -- Cynthia
