So at the moment I am cancer free. But I am struggling with a major bout of depression, having jut watched my father in law die of cancer. In the last couple years I have watched cancer murder several friends.
This is making the journey a bit up hill. On one hand I am thankful to God that I am healthy. On the other I feel like the guy at DMV waiting for his number to be called. Like my life is being measured on this big 6 month pendulum.
So I have found this place so I can vent or cry or rejoice.
If this is viewed publicly, know two things, my spelling sucks and I don’t care…
God bless yall. Remember it is better to be real and hated than fake and loved

Thanks for your support -
Hi Mac, You are only 22 days older than my late son. He died from a massive heart attack in 2003 at the age of 39. I though that would kill me but I have managed to make it this far. What I really want to tell you is that many die from cancer but remember that MANY ALSO LIVE AND BEAT THE CANCER. I survived cancer twice in the last 14 years. I know how scarey it is and how depressed you can get. It helps me to talk with others that have survived. I know they understand. I am here to listen to whatever you have to say and help you in any way I can. Don’t worry about your spelling. Something like that doesn’t matter. GOD BLESS YOU AND HANG IN THERE. My prayers are with you. Joyce
Hi Mac.
Welcome to the family.
Here we support each other, every time we type. So the more you type the more you get out of this. Spelling? We know what you mean.
So here is to a new member of the family.
Hug Sherri.
welcome mac! we are all here for you. remember this. sue
Mac; love your honesty and your wonderful humour (you see spelling is all in the country you come from, that’s my excuse. It’s great to get a male’s perspective on this silly old cancer. It’s refreshing to see a man show his feelings. I pretty much keep my husband sheltered from my fears as I know he is scared for me and I don’t want to create more fear. It becomes a stumbling block for us both. My motto if possible. Keep busy, be active and join something. I sort of compare it to – eg: watching tv with your eye glasses on and all of a sudden you see the frames and you are aware that you have glaases on. But for most of the tv show you were not aware that you even had them on. What I mean is – When you become so busy, you just forget about yourself. However there are times when it is necessary to look inward at your feelings and then let them go and this website is a perfect platform to do that in. Thanks to so many people and their stories, kind of make me feel “hey you have it pretty good” so for now I have no complaints but a lot of love and gratitude for people who share their stories on this website. Thanks. from Canada eh
