Tony, it's normal to try to avoid something you know is going to be unpleasant. In this case, though the Beast will not give an inch of ground voluntarily. You have to attack, and attack with all the vigor and determination you can muster. That's what kills the Beast, and half measures won't do.

You can make it through, and we're all her to help, just shout out when you need us and we'll be there
