I agree Wanda - the whole 'war' seems petty to me.

I was looking for a place to learn, and place to share. Not a place where I would be talked down to, like I didn't 'do' my cancer correctly...

So far, I've been told here that my Doctors are not qualified... that I am not 'man' enough since I used a PEG...

Cancer is hard. Hard on the patient, hard on their loved ones and care givers. I expected this place to a lot more warm and fuzzy, and a lot less of the beat down that I've experienced...

Maybe there is a reason there's not a single color bracelet for 'our' cause...
