I just realized we've lost 4 men from here in just days, 2 young moms we all 'met' through Facebook died in the last 10 days and I got a message from Bobby's wife this morning saying he's failing quickly and hospice is there round the clock.

I hate cancer!

It is heart breaking !
I HATE cancer!!!!!! Please God help us!

Terrible month. Horrible disease. I have had a hard time reading the board lately.

cecioboe- it has been very difficult for me to visit the board lately as well with all the struggles that everyone is going through and all the passings. I am torn; on one hand, I am concerned about my friends here and want to check in on them; on the other hand, I have just been so depressed reading about and hearing about everyone else's struggles in addition to my own.

Everyone's in my prayers. I hope things start to turn a corner for the board and starting October 1st, we'll have nothing but good news to report here.

SECOND THAT!!!!!!

It seems this summer we've lost more members than ever. It does make it hard to come here but, at the same time, we do get to see the post where someone's now NED or chemo seems to be working for them. It's just so tough to lose so many of the ones who've made such a difference here.

It has been difficult to lose so many to this horrible disease . And all so young. All we can do is continue to support one another. Luv to you all.

You took the words out of my mouth SoConfused. These last days I've felt like I have a ton of bricks resting on my chest, the sadness has been so overwhelming. In the almost 3 years that I've been coming here I don't remember such a sad time.

I have to agree it has been a very hard summer. We lost so many brave fighters of this terrible disease. But being with all of you has provide me with hope that Bill could get better and be NED. It has also been a wonderful discovery of new friends who I wouldn't of found otherwise. Funny something like cancer has taught me how important it is to be a good friend. Everyone on the board feels like family. That I wouldn't. Change for anything.

Have a special day.

This has been a horrible few months. We have lost so many to this horrible disease. I'm almost afraid to open this site because it has just been filled with one loss after another. God be with all of us that live with the disease and bless those that have lost their loved ones. Prayers to all of you that are hurting so badly.

It is very sad to see so many deteriorate so fast. Makes me treasure the time with my husband even more. My heart goes out to the families also. God bless as we all continue to pray for cures.

I agree...what a very sad month. I did not get to know all of these people because I am new here but it makes me incredibly sad to see how much this awful disease impacts this world! Makes me mad!

[lorrainem]

Agreed, this summer has seen many CC friends become angels. Hoping they are together in their new surroundings, pain free and watching over the rest of us. My prayers are for them and all that have been left here to keep up the fight and help the fighters. I am Catholic by birth and do feel the need to say...God bless them all.

I just want to scream too!! I almost started a post like this last night. I was so depressed to see all the of those who's lives have been robbed by this horrible, disgusting, and scary disease!! I still can't help but wonder where all these donations for the cancer society have been going? Surely they must come up with something better than this poisonous non working (most of the time) chemotherapy! Sorry, but that's the way I feel. I feel like auditing the Cancer Society since they have been taking all these donations for how long now? I remember them going around when I was a little girl!! Not to mention all the benifits, on and on, etc, etc. I know they do some things, don't get me wrong, but they have collected billions and billions over the years. That's just my opinion - and I think about it daily. I just can't help the way I feel - which is they should be doing more and should be further along in treatments that work better by now. (sorry, not trying to make anyone mad, but just my honest opinion)
