I just want to thank you all for your incredibly kind and supportive responses to my post on feeling depressed and fearful. Reading your words has helped me to not feel like a freak. I guess I just need to accept that the cancer happened, it was horrible and scary and it is just not going to disappear from my life and mind. Its like a "shadow" that will always be lurking around. I hope I can learn to not let it effect my quality of life all the time.

I don't know what I would do without you all! You are and have been such an incredible source of comfort and support through all of this. Thank you from my heart. Eil

    we are a special family
    Eil, we care, that's why we are here. Who wouldn't support someone who is in almost the exact same situation at one time or another? You too are there for us, so I thank you and everyone else here who gives support just by being here. Hope you are feeling better, and can enjoy your weekend.

    Have you ever thought about.....
    being here the exact same time that everyone else is? Considering the thousands of women who were diagnosed before us and who will be after us? And here all of us are NOW to comfort and share with each other. And no brats or bullys in the bunch!! How cool is that? :) Pammy

    Eli, this website has been a Godsend, and I, for one, don't know how I would have survived without the comfort and support over these past few months. Each and every post has special meaning, and so many are willing to share their experiences to help others. I know where you were coming from, and am glad to hear things are looking up. Please know that I am available any time you need to vent, and hope I can do the same with all of you. Hugs.

    Unbelievable
    Every time I log into this discussion group I am totally amazed at how different we all are ... and yet how alike we are. Most of us will never meet anyone on this site in person yet we are truly a family. We can share our innermost feelings and fears and there's always someone out there to give us a cyber hug and let us know they care.

    Yesterday when I was having my "chemo-brain meltdown" I didn't know whether I was just going to totally lose it sitting at my desk ... or whether I'd just get out of my chair and run for the car ... and drive and drive and drive ... far away. But ... something inside my chemo-brain told me to log-on and "vent" to my family ... explain how I was feeling ... and someone would be out there and respond. They would tell me what I was feeling was OK and that I would be OK ... and ... sure enough ... within just a couple of minutes ...I got that cyber hug I really needed ... and I made it through the day ... just fine. Thank you MAJW, Taleena, Kim and the rest of you who were there when I needed you.

    This is without a doubt the most wonderful group of people. It is terrible what really brought us together ... for all of us to have found this site ... but we are here and we are all here for each other.

    I don't think I could be traveling this journey without each and every one of you.

    Big hugs!

    HUGS*HUGS*HUGS*
    Eil I just saw this and your other post, I am so glad you are feeling a bit better. I myself have been dealing with cancer for 12 years and I still have sad moments, moments of doubt and terror happily they do pass. You are very, very normal cancer messes with our minds as well as our bodies. You are NED and you and your husband have a future to enjoy and I am so happy for you!

    A ton of hugs and then some!!!

    Your post hit home with me. I have just finished rads and am feeling kind of lost and trying...but not succeeding to well at not being fearful. This is also where i get rid of the fear, and receive so much comfort. The comments from your post, gave me comfort also. I believe we all have this fear but with help and support we can keep it at bay.
    hugs, jackie

    Thank you Jackie! You are right, it is fear. I think fear can also cause sadness and depression. I guess we have to just keep on plugging and try to find joy. Life is so short.
