Here I thought there would never be a time when I was glad that I will never be able to eat or drink again but just use a feeding tube. But thanks to OCF and Bloop, it has happened.
Because otherwise I'd be reluctant to assert that "not eating" is not the worst thing to happen with oral cancer. I don't have to worry about someone posting on how I don't understand the total deprivation.
Bloop is right that every social occasion ends up with a food component - and not being able to take communion at Mass is something I'm still not over. Yet when you read the OCF posts, there is enough suffering to go around for everyone.
