  • Hi Jackie, welcome to the forum, but sorry for the reason you are here. I wish I had some magic words to make this all go away for you but I don't. Cancer is a cruel and terrible disease and it doesn't pick favorites. Most of us on here know the dreaded feeling that comes over you when hearing this news about oneself, or a loved one and it hits to the very depths of one's being. There is a process that we go through before we reach the point of seeing it for what it is; a terrible disease. To say its' acceptance would be a lie, because I don't think anybody ever comes to accept it; we deal with it because we have no other choice. This forum will help you to get through it, so don't hesitate to come on here whenever you need to vent and offload. I hope you have other family/relatives in your life to help you get through this. We, on here know what you're going through. Please stay in touch to let us know how you are getting along.

    Sending you hugs

    Lorraine
