I think the problem is fear. Alot of people just don't know what to say or do around those who have cancer. You get alot of talk, but no action. Some well-meaning people really do want to do something but are so afraid. The cancer scares them. It changes everything about your life.
I did receive a note from Fiercefemme. The news is not good. She has a rare form of cancer. It has spread. She is starting on chemo. She asks for everyone to pray for her, and her family. I told her I would pass the word on. I wish everyone peace. Namaste, Andrew |

i do have a rare cancer in that i shouldn't be affected with it for a good 40 years from now. i have a form of ovarian cancer that usually affect women in their 40s-60s. my doctor is baffled as to why i, at 26, have ended up with it. i am incredibly lucky though and there was an angel in the form of a GYN i saw at sliding scale clinich (that mostly works with the LGBTQ community) who called in favors and got me a fantastic doctor and my medical care is being covered (i am uninsured). i owe her thank yous every day. because if much time had to had been taken to find health care all of the 100's of small tumors that are on the surfaces of my small.large intestine, colon, and diaphram they would be IN those organs and i probably wouldn't have much hope for recovery much less survival. but i'm lucky and they are still on surfaces so i'm trying to focus on that. and my doctor thinks that since i and young and otherwise healthy that i will fight this. i just might have to fight it many time over my life span. not what i asked for from life. but i don't have many options but to be fierce and deal with it. -nicole

6 years and it gets Better N Better
Andrew,
After a tough couple of months, and DustyBoy Kitty passing through on May 1st, I realized how time flies I celebrated 6 years of being cancer free on May 15. Endometrial cancer diagnosis shook my world and it felt like the air was sucked out of the universe. After radical total hysterectomy, and 16 lymph nodes removed, i did well UNTIL...I got a massive infection that almost killed me. I live every day to the fullest, and love like there is no tomorrow..Thanks for all the love and positive energy. Tommi |

cybersubee soon to be Two

WOW..It is a good feeling to be know we will celebrate 2 for you soon. See, it has been fast. i remember you posting way back when. Plant a beautiful rose bush wherever you are, cybersubee. It is a good feeling to stop and touch the flowers. I am having some friends over, and I will plant my 6th in the front yard this weekend. I took huge roses from my yard to work on Monday. My private celebration, to stop and smell the roses. Love to all who carry the torch for those who no longer can. Tommi |
