[mizzou7016]

my soul has taken a few hits as of the last couple of weeks......tired....so tired of having friends tell me that they are dying....or their outlook is bleek.....I love you lord but can you please take all forms of cancer and stick them somewhere.......my soul and my heart are tired

[mizzou7016 in reply to LazyXrayEyes2255]

well knowing the last 2 people that I've just found out about......they will go out fighting kicking and screaming using every last breath in their body to go out on top....just sick of dealing with it....life is so not fair....

[LazyXrayEyes2255 in reply to mizzou7016]

Oh, I definitely think life has some cruel twists but we wait till doctors or science can really do something about it

I read every scientific breakthrough and asked journalist, newspaper to report on cancer research when they asked what shall we report on and asked for health news and stem cell news

just waiting meanwhile...........

[LazyXrayEyes2255 in reply to LazyXrayEyes2255]

Newspaper was brilliant 'Metro' and reports new research all the time

It gives some hope but more progress needs to be made, maybe 2090?

So sorry Mizzou, just remember that this isn't something you can deal with. As you say, the most recent will go out fighting - or they might not go out until a later date. You can only be there for your friends and you must be there for yourself too, because life isn't fair, And remember to allow yourself to feel what you feel and acknowledge the feelings.

[mizzou7016 in reply to MaggieSylvie]

Oh I'm definitely acknowledging the feelings...just tired of having them. Cancer is just such an ass...cancer can kiss my bum

[MaggieSylvie in reply to mizzou7016]

Like everything else, cancer is trying to survive the best way it can. Sorry I didn't mean to teach Grandma to suck eggs. After putting others before us for years, we sometimes need reminding to take care of ourselves. I hope your friends get a cure.

Mizzou,

Ir's all good. Cancer bites

[SayNOtoPanic in reply to mizzou7016]

Indeed!! May it be removed from existence. Prayers up to your friends and all those that are ill. Healing prayers 🙏🏻

sending prayers your way and for your friends. My dad died of cancer when I was 14. I basically raised myself. Life can be very cruel and painful, but without those moments, we would not have new deeper connections. The hardest part about life is that it can still be worth it even with painful events. I am nowhere near healed possibly never be healed in this lifetime as I also have chronic pain and illness. But the beautiful thing about life is that all pain is temporary. What keeps me going is holding on to what good is left and doing the things that I really enjoy for myself and nobody else. I think you should attend cancer events, and support groups with other people going through similar things. They may be able to provide more education and support. You have a huge community of people that would love to be there for you during this very difficult time.

[Mentalhealthmatter]

I know this is not talked about very much but you absolutely needed. You are important. you are valuable. There is support there. There Are people who want to be there. Sometimes we don’t want advice or help. We just want someone to listen to how we feel and to acknowledge the pain. I want you to know that it’s going to be OK. Life has many more adventures for you waiting. And those people do not want to miss out on you.

Nothing I can say will help much, but I still want to send you a virtual hug... 🤗

[mizzou7016 in reply to Sienka]

On the contrary.....knowing that someone cares and understands what I'm going through and supports me helps a lot
