So....talk about.....CANCER SUPPORT THREAD !!

[dewey]

I have a prayer request please. I am worried because I have been aching lately and today my right leg is hurting terribly in the hip and thigh area. I am so worried about cancer but maybe it is pinched never in back or something.
I will continue to pray for the others on here facing health issues as well.
Thanks

Dawgpaws, thank you, I know prayers are coveted by many here, myself included. New pain or new symptoms is always worrisome to us when we have had a history of cancer. I hope you can see a doctor to have the pain source checked out.

How funky you came to the right place. I myself ran into the same problem with my oldman not talking to me about my cancer. I'm going on three years of him doing that to me.
It hurt my feeling at first and I realized he couldn't handle talking about it, maybe losing me so I have other avenues I go if I need to talk. This site is one and I attend support groups. It helps. You being so young have you thought about possible having some of your eggs frozen and maybe having a serragate mother or adoption. Adoption is easier in other countries. Just some thoughts. I'm praying for you.

Thank you so much everyone, I've felt so much better since I posted up and told someone (other then my mom, who's all like "oh my gosh, its just the end of the world". Cause, well, she's my mom and that's what moms do) I'm still waiting to hear from my doctor, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet.
Chilling in muscadine: good luck to you as you battle your cancer! Though my DH doesn't want to talk about me possibly being sick, we did talk about why he doesn't want to talk about it. He said between his own surgery (we were in a car accident in Aug of last year and he had to have surgery on his neck as a result) and now this going on with me has got him thinking about things he didn't want to think about (like drawing up a will, and what would happen to our children if we weren't able to be here for them, ect). I can relate to that, so Im figuring he'll want to talk about it when he's ready. Since I do have children (my hubby and mines daughter and I also have a step-son from DH previous relationship), its not that I wont be able to have children that's freaking me out. I'm actually pretty dead set on not having anymore. This is probably going to sound OCD, but I really think I'm mostly worried about the inconvenience of the whole thing. I'm a creature of habit, and having to be in the hospital to have surgery and then having to deal with recovery time is seriously going to cramp my style. Not to mention, I've spent a total of 2 days in the hospital (when I had my daughter), and that was enough for me to realize that I didn't want to spend any more time there then I absolutely have to :/
I don't feel sick, and I don't look sick- so at this point I'm just trying not too think about it and cause myself anymore stress.
You all are simply amazing, by the way. Its nice to know I can turn to my chicken friends for some kind words and some wisdom. Blessings to all of you fighting or who have loved ones fighting cancer. I hope you all kick serious butt!!!!

Hey how funky`,I'm really happy we were able to belp you out if only just for a bit. My only other relative besides my daughter is my sister and she will not talk about it either. Well what I have secretly been getting done is three business off the ground.One for the old man and one for my sister so I feel ilke if things go wrong with me they will have a place to pick up and carryon and I hope finacally stable.They are both followers. My daughter is in colloge so she will be alright. I am a wrighter and I have been working on quite a few products that they can sell if hard time gets any worse from now. lol good luck right. Isn't it weird how you don't or at least I don't worry about myself only them.Does anyone else do this?
Prayers for you my fellow friends

That is sooo tough!!! Just know that she probably thought about it quite a bit before making that decision. Hospice can be a life saver for you too. Give it a chance. I have a similar experience iuf you would like to hear it. The letting go for a person who is dying is quite cleansing for THEM, not so much for us left here.
