I will be the first to acknowledge that I came to this site with a bad attitude. Not that I was trying to hurt anyone, but I didn't think anyone could possibly be feeling the pain I was in.

I was wrong.

I have since learned to lean on others and voice my opinion....ok....it might not be what everyone wants to hear. That's ok. You WILL find a friend here. And thanks to Brian, we all have an outlet. You only have to search.

This disease has many layers. One day you are in your own self-enclosed envelope. One day later the doctor gives you a diagnosis of cancer. It changes EVERYTHING! Nobody can deny this.

Whatever helps us through it is good. You don't have to put a face on the God, you don't have to see if it is politically correct, you just feel it inside. You know when you have met good people. And they are here.

Thank you for this outlet Brian. I think you will be pleased with the outcome. We are all looking for validation for our feelings and what might make them easier to bear.
