Thanks again, Jeff. Don't think I don't appreciate every single word. I do. It's just embarrassing is all...:wink:
I understand sir. Ive lost oved ones to cancer. It ain't no damn joke, as you know.
Also, it changes you after experiencing it, im going through it now myself. Its not me that has it this time but, its someone thats near and dear to me.
My thoughts, actions etc...etc have been a little off this time around. Even moreso than last time i had to go through it.
Regardless what anyone "thinks".....until they "actually live it", they dont know anything about, just just think they do.
Much, much respect sir.
Keep that "Nothing Gets To This One I Love" attitude, Jeff. I can tell you first hand, it's isn't so much the *doubt* that eats away at the person being affected. It's more the **fear**. And usually, the people that show the most fear ( and it's certainly a natural reaction ) are the people around them, i.e. family and friends. I learned the first time around, you cannot show any fear. Cancer feeds on stress and the stress almost always comes from fear of the unknown. I never had a doubt in 07 that I was going to be fine. I never "reasoned it out", I never "weighed the odds", etc... it simply never occurred to me that I was ever going to be anything other than "ok". Same with this time. And the biggest stress factor in this entire process is for my wife. She KNOWS I'll be ok, but there is always that tiny part of her that knows the fear that I might NOT be "OK". And it's hard on her. Very hard. But all in all, we're all doing just fine. It's a long, drawn-out process that is, all things told, a major pain in the a55. But going through it all certainly beats the alternative.
I've no idea who it is you're referring to, but you have my absolute best wishes for them. And if you want my opinion? They'll be fine. Just be as sure of that, for them, as you are that you'll wake up tomorrow morning...
Thanks again, Jeff.
Yes sir!!!!! Spot on!!!!!
M, if you actually want us to not make certain comments about you, well, your gonna have to stop being "that guy". Everyone knows what im saying. The guy, the person, the husband, the friend, well, the "man" thats being kicked, bit, emotionally drained but, picks himself up "and then", helps the man beside him eventhough most wonder how he's even able to stay positive enough for himself much less others around him.
Well, like i said before:
Its hard to hide qualities like that. Especially in times like this.
Jeff

It's people like you, Larry, that give me hope. You've been very kind to me for no other reason than you wanted to be. That's meant a lot. Thank you.
You have absolutely nothing to apologize for sir.
As someone mentioned, it would make a good sticky for inspiration to others in the future that are found ill.
Well, as I said, politics has no place here. I let my emotions get the better of me. It wasn't meant to sound political but it could've been taken that way by some.
