So, I know that I'm not talking about oral cancer here and I have gone to an ovarian cancer forum but it takes a while to be comfortable enough with strangers to really talk about things. I feel at home here with all my OCF family who know that I'm not really given to whining (I hope). I really don't know what to do about Michael. As I said, he does a wonderful job on the physical side of things but he is really driving both his Mom and me into a state of stress that is not at all good for anyone. Often he goes off on a rant and gets her all upset and then says he feels better letting that out. Well, fine, he feels better but everyone else has had that much more stress added. I keep it all inside so not to upset Linda and it's tearing me up. Maybe somewhere between how Michael is handling this and how I am there may be the right way, if there even is such a thing. Any way, that's enough of my rant. Love you all.
