    My world fell apart on March 5, 2002 and I'll never forget that day. I always thought that cancer happened to others but not to me. It's been along road back but now almost 4 years later my life is good again. I just want to say Thanks to all my fellow semi-colons. You Guys Rock !

    Hi Everyone,

    As I am reading this I have the tissues handy. I want to just agree how much this site helped me after my dx on Dec 19th 2005 which was the day before my birthday. I found this site by accident and am so glad that I did. Everyone here has been a god send from helping me understand what I should be doing from just being there to vent or hold my hand. Like others it is tough to explain the feelings to family who you are trying to stay strong for but to tell others that totally understand takes away the stress. Hugs to all and keep fighting to those that are not NED. I can't wait to meet the guy everyone is talking about!

    Posting this topic has produced an incredible number of replies.Thank you so much everyone for helping out. There may well be lots who come hear, read and are a little shy...so these replies here hopefully will comfort them. When I talk to some of our friends here by phone it is extremely hard to compose oneself knowing that many are still doing some very tough miles. Throughout chemo I knew that it was supposed to help but there was always the unknown and I guess that in itself makes things so very hard for us all. Our families and carers suffer a great deal with us.....this is why I posted the topic. To use all YOUR inspiration to make it clear to all that everyone shares this, carers as well..........to know that nobody ever needs to be alone.

    to ifondots........Lisa......it would be great to meet Bob too...and we will meet him.....yay!!!

    ps....Bob...if you think I am gunna kiss that smelly wombat you are nuts mate!
    Now kissin Jen?..........mind your own business...lol!

    Yes, my world fell apart on Dec. 19, 2002. Isn't it strange how we remember the exact date, day and time? Friday afternoon at 4:30pm. That was my first explosion, then thinking all was well, pieces started falling all around me again with my recurrance. I've been battling that for over a year now, with some success.

    This site has been so wonderful for me. The advice, the place to vent, the friendships are all priceless. Where else can you talk about puking, pooping and feeling tired?? and no one thinks you are crazy!!??

    Thanks everyone....as Lisa Rose said "SEMI-COLONS ROCK"

    I woke up from my surgery I was having a hysterectomy or so I thought. My husband was looking down at me and I said how'd did I do and he just lost it. He exlpained to me that I had stage 4 cancer I cried for just a bit and then the calls started coming from my family in Jersey. It was a whirl wind I was in the hospital for 9 days and then I had to give my body 6 weeks before starting chemo. I did my "protocol" which I completed in November. I have been NED since then and get blood work every 4 weeks. I keep telling myself this isn't coming back I have too many kids to raise and a wonderful husband that I don't want to leave.
