@CMGragain I’m so sorry for this latest update. Your outlook for the rest of your time is inspiring. I hope they’re wrong and you get more time and get to enjoy your cruise with your family in June. Eat all the chocolate! Every day!

I have enjoyed your posts over the years, you are never afraid to speak your mind! The peace you have from your faith in God is wonderful and your attitude shows that you know heaven is going to be glorious!! I'll be praying for your H and kids and their life adjustment.

I'm thinking of you and your family.

Thinking of you too, @CMGragain.  I will say you are an inspiration and your outlook on all this is uplifting to say the least.

I'm sorry to hear this. You and your family will be in my prayers! We'll absolutely keep you company.

Oh, by the way.  There are some perks to cancer.  I lost 50 pounds in the last year without trying.  People tell me how good I look. (eyeroll)  I am almost out of the plus size clothing range.
When I married DH, I was 5'7" and 135 lbs.  Sigh!  Now gimme that chocolate!

I don't remember if I posted this before, but I'll do it again.

Things NOT to say to a cancer patient:

I know you'll beat it!  (No, you don't.)

Keep fighting!  (I'm not fighting cancer.  I am following doctor's orders.  The medical researchers are fighting cancer.)

I have a friend who had cancer and she used natural cures and she beat it.  (Ask her if she is cancer free five years from now.)

You are so brave.  (What?  No.)

You have lost so much weight!  You look great! (Wanna try the chemo diet?)

My poor dear!  How are you FEELING?  (Ghoulish look)



Things you SHOULD say to a cancer patient:

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm going shopping tomorrow.  Want to come with me?

I'm headed to the grocery store.  Can I pick up anything for you?

How about coffee tomorrow?

Lets do lunch next Wednesday!  We'll go to a restaurant our husbands hate.

Ooo, there's a new chick flick in town.  Let's go together and leave our husbands at home.

@CMGragain - if you feel up to it, please continue to post your thoughts as you process things in this thread.  Sometimes getting things out into space aids in the healing process.  We are all here to listen with zero judgment.  Thoughts and prayers.
