Hi Guys,
Don't really want to post more and more blogs on such a sensitive subject, the more we talk it out the more we are going to upset each other !
Want to ask you all a favour - can we draw a line under this subject now please, reading the various post we are all in agreement - The purpose of the Chat Room echo's the purpose of the site - to support anyone suffering from the affects of Cancer.
Lets not get too hung up on who hurts the most, does it really matter ? If someone is hurting they need our support - not too bothered if it because they are scared, the effects of treatment or because they have just been told that no further treatment is available.
Pain is pain and shows itself in different ways - mental or physical - its still pain. Not looking for sympathy honest - but mine is in operable, still have some time but do understand the end game. Being honest reconciled things and in a great place. I have suffered far more physical pain with tooth ache !! - so Let not compare our hurts please, its meaningless we all need support which is just another demonstration of family love.
The beauty of the site is we are the Mac Family, we do welcome anyone who has to join - but we really are the club of reluctant members. Does not matter a jot if you are a Patient, Ex-patient, Carer, Ex-Carer, friend or family member. All we should ever expect is that you allow us to welcome you when you join, support you when you hurt, laugh with you when its appropriate, and shed some tears with you when thats appropriate too.
OK does work both ways on here. In time it will be your turn to support others, new guys will think I have been drinking even more than usual ! That they will never get to to that place - but so many do - how do you think we felt when we joined, just as lost frightened and hurting.
So can we change the subject please - lets do what we do best - Support anyone Suffering with cancer, irrespective of discussing the reason we are here - We are the Mac Family and we are Fantastic at supporting - the best site on the net !!
Love and Hugs to Everyone !!
