Just checking in today Bev after being AWOL a few days and saw your post :(

Crap, crap, crap. Aside from the cancer bullshit, don't be taking no bullshit from your husband either! As you said to him...."shut up or get the f... out!" I'm paraphrasing of course!

Best to you from your old neck of the woods in Pa.

Hi Bev,

No. Just no. Hoping that there is an 'easy' way to sort answer for this latest turn of events. You've been through way more than your share of crap over the last few years...

Will be thinking of you and sending you positive thoughts.

Hi Bev,
Thinking about you this evening. Hope your day has gone a little better today than yesterday, and you are starting to gather details of a plan of action to deal with your situation. You have been so generous here on the Colon Club, helping so many. I wish there was something I could do to make things easier for you, and i know that's how everyone else feels as well.

So sorry to read this, Bev. I wish you didn't have to deal with this again :( It sucks, big time.

I hear you on the dissociating thing. Were it not for an iPhone recording or a husband recounting the entire meeting, I'd never remember ANYTHING. If you've got a phone that will do it, I recommend hitting "RECORD" before they even walk into the room.

Bev, I am truly sorry to know that you are going through hell emotionally right now. You are in my thoughts.

All of this is SO unfair.

Just remember not to take any sh-- from your husband. You need kind and supportive care/love.

As an eternal optimist, I'm hoping you'll find the eventual complete news is not as bad as you assume.
