The Mad Ramblings of a Cancer Patient!!

[robinaggie]

Been through all that testing, poking, sticking stuff with a different ailment than yours, but I feel your frustration and anger. Sometimes it seems like the doctors and technicians are more interested in the tests than the patient.

Hang in there. It all comes in a rush, and then things will settle down for a while. Did you tell your doctor that you're still trying to wrap your brain around the diagnosis, and they should ease up on you a bit? The hospital should have a counselor who can answer all of your questions, and who you can unload on.

Keep posting. We're thinking of you!

Thanks ya'll for your words of encouragement. I REFUSE to let this do me in. I've got too much stuff to do to let this bump in the road stop me.

I have thought about making a Pink Ribbon Quilt but right now I just don't have any ideas to make it "mine" if you know what I mean.

I am currently making Dammit Dolls. Honest! I figured there are lots of cancer patients out there that are as ticked off as I am that this disease has decided to interrupt our lives. Dammit Dolls are little rag dolls that you can take out your frustrations on. Here's the poem that goes with them.

DAMMIT DOLL

When you want to climb the wall,
And stand right up and shout.
There's a little Dammit doll
You cannot do without.

Just grasp it firmly by the legs,
And find a place to slam it.
And as you whack the stuffing out
Yell Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!

If Dammit's not a word you say
Then twist its little neck
And grumble out repeatedly
Oh Heck, Oh Heck, Oh Heck!

And once your done abusing it
Just sit it on the shelf.
But hug it first, as I'd hug you
If I were there myself.

Keep that positive attitude....it makes all the difference in the world! I understand about all those dr appts.....it seems that's all you do is run from one dr to another....one test to another. They take so much blood, but still want more. Calgon....take me away...Please! But....you stay strong and you fight with everything you got. I'll keep you in my prayers, and remember you have friends her on BYC. So, when you need to talk, we'll be here..... Take care

Hang in there coyote, you sound like one tough cookie. I could have used one of those dolls 10 years ago. I know where you are coming from too, I am a survivor of 10 years now. I had ovarian cancer, they caught it early and I am here to tell about it today. I went through all the poking and proding and meds, chemo, hated the bald look, but learned to love ball caps even today. I hugged the porcelin god more than I wish to admit to and even now I hate to scrub the toilet, I hated all the go here's take this and just one more test's that came out of those white coated pain in the butts but if it wasn't for all of them I would not be here to love all my beautiful children and grandchildren and all my chickes, dogs , lazy old cat and dear husband. And I thank god for each and every one of them each day. Yep I count each day that I spend above ground a success and I do my best to live each day like it could be my last. I feel your anger, and pain and I am so glad that we are all here for you when ever you need us to be. You are in my thoughts and prayers and we are all right here to help you any way we can. Trudy

Im so sorry that you will have to spend you summer vacation like this.

You WILL beat the cancer and make it through fine.

GOOD LUCK, and I will keep you in my prayers!

My prayers are with you during this most awful time in your life. God will see you through this, have faith and trust in him.

 

[okiemommy]

I love the dammit doll idea. It is so simple, but very powerful. God bless you and you can beat this. And when you feel like you can't and the exhaustion is too much to bear, remember HE can beat this. Just sit back and rest in him and let him. Praying for you.

I'm so sorry you will be going through this but it sounds like you have a great attitude. You will be in my prayers.
