time to thanks and good bye

hi babscatt, im sorry that you feel you have to leave the site.we all have the same chances to offer support to others whether it be by pm, blogs or forums.I am sure the site has given you support and likewise you have given plenty to others.You still have alot to offer to people joining the site even if you may not be needing the support yourself at the moment. i wish you all the best  . .lesleyxx

Cliques arise, and we can't help that.  As long as new people get the support they need, does it matter if a few out of hundreds become close?

Some of that closeness is what makes the difference for some of us, while others are almost self sufficient.  

I was surprised to see your message because I thought you were a fixture.  

I hope you will stay and support the new people.

love

Ruth

sorry but i think you are out of order!!!

the support and help on this site to anyone is second to none

i would never dream of calling them clicky at all they are a load of lovely warm and sensertive people and you will not find that any where else

seems to me that you have had a knock back on here by some one and its got to you which i am sorry and its shameful if thats the case

people on here have struggled through all sorts of things but due to the strength and time they have know each other

its like any where you go some are closer than others

but hey!!!! aint familys always like that

we will miss you but after all its your choice !!!!!!!!!!!

we will be sad to see you go

take care

lell

if I don't click I can't open up any pages.. or am I thinking of the wrong 'clicky' ?

Still, I hope you find your way back soon, any help we can get in these difficult times is better than no help at all.

I have read and reread this post many times.

Babs I have to say it made me angry, disappointed and very upset so I have taken my time in replying as I didnt want it to be as a reaction.

I get fed up on here of the odd "loonies" that appear from time to time but have decided that it is also the biggest source of comfort, support and friendship I had from when first diagnosed until now and hopefully for the rest of my life.

Being diagnosed with cancer alters the image you have of life..... its b****y terrifying!!! If I hadnt had this place to come I know and I am deadly serious about this, I would not be here today. I am a single parent with the most beautiful daughters in the world and I was so scared that I never ever ever thought I would come out the other end!! I would look at them and cry in secret trying to be strong for them.

Through this site I have found wonderful, helpful and loving friends. Some make me smile, some make me laugh and some just make the fact that I contracted cancer actually one of the good things that happened to me as I have made life long friends.

I do not know who your comments were aimed at, I do know that some of us are more friendly with each other than other, some of us have been here from the start when it was a few members,  I know that we are all and I mean ALL here for one another when we are needed. That is the whole point of this site!!!

I do take exception to what you have posted and it does hurt that you can think like that.

You said you were leaving in your post but I noticed you have been back, posting etc. Does that mean that you are staying and that you have realised that what you said was wrong ??

Whatever you decide all of us here know how short life can be so I wish you all the luck, happiness and love and take care
