Talk about coincidences! Just the other day I was in the gym locker room and this really fat guy asks me " what's that string hanging out of your stomach?" When I explained it was a feeding tube and how I had shrunk from 177 of muscle to 126 pounds, he remarks: "Gee, maybe I should get cancer and get one of those" I had to laugh and wasn't even upset it was actually struck me as so funny. I don't think this thread is negative, instead it is a positive outlet for the frustration we all feel. After all the forum is entitled: COPING/ANGER & FEAR , neither of which feelings is considered "positive". Thanks for sharing that anyway Christine with the rest of us "lucky" ones. Charm
