Cancer, the dirty little pig that it is, makes old problems IMMENSE. The old problems are even more difficult to tolerate. And what is worse, they couldn't be fixed before and NOW they sure as heck can't be fixed. It's any problem from the days before cancer. I am getting to the point like Indie Chick...staying away from ALL...not because I am reverse 'nesting' or from depression or preparing for my own death, but because I ask myself, "How much more of the old stuff can I endure?" I don't want to deal with it anymore. My time is precious to me and how I spend my time and energies is MY CHOICE. So I stay away from most...for now, anyway until I get a handle on my PROBLEMS.

Even when I don't want to think about cancer the DLP forces me to...

My gratitude: I still have choice.

Hi celia,

I agree this is a pig of a disease.... but we cannot let this disease win. We have to stand up to it even when it is hard. We do have choices on how we want to spend our energy. Having just discovered that my little blighter has spread in under a year I now intend using my energies on things I want to .... I had my first driving lesson today ( and survived!) My husband is booking me a flying lesson for my Christmas and birthdaypresent

Hi Celia, I agree cancer is a pig of a disease.... I have jusr discovered that my little blighter has spread It's only a year since my initial diagnosis I had hoped for a couple of cancer free years but ... that's life as they say. But I am determined not to let the little blighter get the upper hand. The thing I really don't like about cancer is how it used to determine me. I am no longer Kath, but Kath with cancer awwh! we can't ask her to do to much , we can't let her do that , the looks on people's faces That is the thing I hate most about this disease

Always remember there are lots of us here to lend an ear, to offer support.

Take care

Kath x
