Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 148 | Doc said the next step would be surgery. I am ok with some of it but it all depends on what they have to say. I don't know how far I will go at this point. I watched my dad and my baby brother go through cancer and I don't know if I am strong enough to endure what they went through. I don't know if I can put my family through it aain. I am ok either way. If it sounds like I am signing off on it I guess I am. HOWEVER I was on my way to work and the thought came to my head out of no where that I was stressing too much that its not going to be cancer again and I will be ok so I am not sweating it anymore. No one will know the results but me. Weel all of you will. Thanks, Brenda

Im so sorry to hear your news. Its amazing how fast cancer can come back. I would not have thought it was possible that quickly. My fingers are crossed for your results to be good. Please keep giving updates. I will keep you in my prayers.

Stay strong...you are...be you. Its your turn to be pamperered even if just by soothing words, and I hope and pray and believe in the best for your results to be treatable and make that MINOR treatable! I also wish we all lived closer. More sense is spoken on this Forum than on any other forum about any topic! (Must mean only the most intelligent people get Cancer!)  My love and my thoughts are with you tonight. Bless you, Lyn (from Oz) XXXXX
