So done with this club!

[mlibertone]

I'm glad I'm not involved in any of this but wanted to say, I'm glad to have found the colon club. I have learned so much here and continue to learn. I am open to all and any opinions or forms of help that come from here. I appreciate you all, respect you all and hope that we can all find a way past this to get along. We all have to remember that there are a lot of special people here. We all have different ways of dealing with this disease and all the crap that it brings. Just try to be kind to each other and realize we are all different even if we are facing a lot of the same things.

Forum drama always amuses me, it's like watching Wolf Blitzer interview Donald Trump. Hilarious listening to two people yell at each other knowing full well that neither will change the other's view yet still going through the motions. The anonymity of the internet is both a great and a horrible thing at the same time; the reality of which is embodied by this thread. In the end, clearer heads will prevail, and I know I have too much love for everyone on here to be petty . We've all got a greater enemy that starts with C and ends with R...

CRguy is my enemy?

<snort> Honestly, Laurettas, that was MY first thought, too.....

So true Skifletch!

Cj51 thanks for posts! You said exactly what I was thinking.

I appreciate Gaelen's posts and I've been on here since 2008. She is a fountain of information and has been willing to share her knowledge with us. Cancer is NOT a pretty disease and yes, everyone should have hope but we all have to be realists in dealing with it as well whatever the stage.

Easy fix to this is: If you don't like someone's posts, DON'T read them. It seams pretty simple to me.

Howza 'bout a big old group hug, huh?!

Guys....guys?

I've had my share of...ahem...angry dealings on here. But also a lot of good dealings and advice. Sometimes I have a bad day, or I feel upset, and I let things get to me. But then I remember that we all have a CHOICE in how we react to things.

Go outside, take a breath of fresh air, take your shoes off and rub your feet in the grass. Play with your dog, pat your cat, hug your kids, do some yoga, meditate, laugh with your friends. But don't be a keyboard warrior - I've done it, and I learned my lesson. The person that everyone is mad at, I have so much respect for telling it how it is. It's just one side of the story. Please calm down everyone, life's too short!

It took me a long time to come to terms with the realities of this shitty disease, and once I have faced my fear, see it for what it is, I am free. I have never been happier. And it is thanks to both the 'realists/facts' people, the 'hope/positivity' people, the religious people, the young people, the oldies, the newbies, just everyone! We are a CLUB, a FAMILY, and we can NOT let differences in opinion divide us, make us feel like we have to leave, because let's face it, we're all going through our own cancer journeys but we have each other for support.

PEACE! (and Aussie sunshine)

Ok now, Let's do what my Mom always would say to my Dad, and I quote "Let's agree to disagree", makes me laugh the way she would say that. My Mom & Dad(2 weeks apart from each other) passed away 4 years ago this May, and I so love to remember her little sayings. I haven't been on in a few well several days or even weeks, so don't know what has been going on to make some of you upset. I hope things have settled down tho. I know somedays I have it really hard and want to scream (which I do). All the treatments, and then the waiting and then when hubby isn't feeling like doing anything it gets to me. Don't get me wrong I want him to rest as much as he wants to and whatever is needed. But i get so mad at this cancer invading us daily. We go today for his CT scan, so I am really nervous and wanting to know exactly how this last procedure has effected the tumor in the liver. He has had some very bad side effects with this so it better have done alot. I will get back on later tonight and give you up date. I really did not know alot about the chemo embolization which is what they did on May 2. Hope everyone is doing best you can and enjoy each day, make a point to find happiness that cancer can't touch! Love & Hugs my friends.

In This Together!

I value every post that I read on this forum but I don't agree with all of them. Occasionally I read posts and realise that I don't have the same philosophy as the poster. I would post if I disagreed with their opinion but I hope that I never attack an individual.

Yes, I have favourites and I also have a few that I avoid at all costs but I feel that those preferences and dislikes are better off unsaid. I am fighting cancer, not people with cancer.

I am sending out all my love and good thoughts to all of you. May you find peace in every day of your life

I know that this won't be approved, but I am saying it anyway. Throughout life there are always some little primadonnas who only want to hear what they "perceive" as nice. In reality they always pick on the people who tell the truth about life. If the little prima donnas can't take reality it is their loss. As my late father said"maybe you need to grow up."
