Minnie---when my mum was dying, she was terrified that dad--disabled and in wheelchair would NEVER be able to cope on his own. She was SO worried about him, she was his carer

He was amazing--got funeral all arranged and later began his 'own life'
He adapted his wheelchair to make shelf he could put food/cups of tea on, he used his mobility scooter to get to Supermarket and buy his own favourite stuff, he loved and appreciated his 'morning carer' who took care of his hygiene/dressing needs, he could use the washing machine! And he did this for 3 years from age 82--85! I only had to 'care' for 5 days out of each week til the last 6 months--he was amazing and mum must have been sitting playing her harp, scratching her head, cursing a bit that he could do it NOW, but still really proud of him!

So your family will cope just fine whilst you're in treatment and will probably be glad and proud to prove they can!

So save your strength for the treatment and healing Minnie--they love and value you and they---and all us---want you to take your time for YOU right now. love and hugs, Brenda xx

Helen, Tuesday was also YOUR big day and you're very quiet????????

Minnie, Haven't been on for quite sometime, and the first post I've read is yours. My prayers are with you. I also place my trust in the Lord , and I feel he gives the dr.s the knowledge and guidance to help us with treatments. Keep trusting in him, and get as many medical opinions that you need. I pray that he gives you the strength to get through this. You are going through exactly what all of us fear each day in our lives. I hope you find comfort in knowing we are all here for you. Praying for strength for your family also. Please take care of yourself. Linda

Minnie - There is power in the prayers and thoughts and positive visualization of so many people. I join mine to theirs in expecting a positive outcome for you. You are strong and have a great family supporting you. Take time for you, and take time to enjoy all the special moments as you gear up for the fight! Love and prayers and positive vibes are going your way.

You all are like a great big pick me up pill. I get excited to get on here so I can pick up the positive vibrations I get from each and everyone of you.

I am finally getting my wonderful, strong husband to admit his fears and to talk to me about it. He keeps telling me that I'm not his wife, that I'm his LIFE. I told him that I needed him to have the same positive, fighting attitude as I have. I told him that his way of dealing with it at this point was making it tougher on me. He apologized and there was an immediate change in him. He never ceases to amaze me with his ability to do just the right things when they're neded. He got on the phone and now we have approx. 40 people coming for a "Goodbye to Cancer" party on Sunday at our house. He said we are going to officially escort it out of our lives, lol. He is having it catered, all that good stuff. I'm so proud of him.

My girls are doign fantastic. As usual, they each have placed themselves in the needed role and they go about their lives. They have always worked so well together so that's a blessing.

My father, who I haven't seen in 12 years or so, is coming on Wednesday to stay for a couple weeks. Funny how something like this makes your anger at others evaporate.

It's 3:19am, I still cannot sleep but am going to go and try again. I have a Football game tomorrow, season opener. I should be a complete zombie for it!!

LOve to all,
Minnie

Hi Minnie,

I'm sorry I haven't written. Your situation instantly took me back to memories of a year ago with Aunt Ro. I got stuck in an emotional whirlpool for a few days. You can do this though. You are smart and you are strong and driven, and I believe with all my heart that you can beat this thing. I will pray for you every day. You're going to do this. I KNOW you can do this.

Hugs,
Lisa

Minnie -
We are hoping that party on Sunday does indeed escort cancer right out of your life...again. I too firmly believe in God's healing power in our lives. Looking forward to the time you can write in your "signature", cancer survivor TWICE.
Warmly, JaneP

Minnie,

Sending you huge hugs with tears rolling down my cheeks. I haven't been on the board for a while and I can't stop my tears. You are so wonderful and compassionate and you were there for my mom when she really needed you. I just know everything is going to be ok. You are far to valuable to all those that need you.
Keeley and I will be saying special prayers for you and as always if we can do anything at all for you please do not hesitate to ask. We are here for you!!!!!

Love & Hugs,
Dani
