Porter,
Glad to hear things are getting back to normal and that you are feeling less anxious. Look forward to hearing more good news from you in the future.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaHi Mike, Welcome! Glad you found us, but truly sorry you had a need to. Can’t add much at this point, but do agree you may want to get a 2nd and maybe 3rd opinion from oncologist’s who are familiar with CC before making any decisions. I’m sure others will be here soon with more advice and support. Good luck to you on this journey that no one wants to face, but know we are here to help and support you in any way that we can. Darla
Hi David,
Nice to meet you. Welcome to the group. Glad you have decided to join us. I am sorry that your reason for joining is due to losing your father to this disease, but am glad you are here and have found the forums . I am sure that your story and experiences will be of great help to all who are also dealing with the same issues and feelings that you have. Hoping that we will be of some help and support to you too. Thanks for joining and hope to hear more from you soon. I think you will be a great addition to our “family”.

Oh my Julie, hope you are able to get some answers and get all of this under control soon. Having cancer is bad enough without all these additional hassles.
Wishing you lots of luck getting it all sorted out.Love & Hugs,
DarlaMelinda,
I have read the articles. It is an amazing story and you are an incredible woman. Your story brings attention to this rare form of cancer and to the foundation. Thank you for that. Hoping for even more improvement in finding and eventually eliminating CC in the future.
Good to hear you are doing well and yes, every day is a gift.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaWelcome to the group Kevin. Glad you have found us, but sorry for the reason. You have found the best place and the best people for information and support while dealing with this disease. Hoping things go well for Lori. Please keep us posted as to how things are going. Darla
Hi Diana, Another warm welcome although I too wish you didn’t have a reason to have found us. You will find a lot of caring, loving people her to give you as much help and support as we can. Darla
Laurie,
Everyone grieves differently and at their own pace. I do think you are doing all the right things and are doing OK everything considered. For me it will be 6 years come September and I still miss him and think about him. He is always in the back of my mind, but I can tell you that by pushing through your grief and continuing to live your life, it will gradually get better. We were together pretty much 24/7 for almost 45 years so being alone for the first time in my life has been a real adjustment for me, but I am proof that it can be done.
I am still living my life as we did before, only now I am living it alone. Sometimes having to deal with everything on my own is overwhelming, but I just keep doing what I’m doing and eventually everything works itself out. It’s not always easy and the sadness still comes at times, but I am OK and you will be too. Just take it one day at a time and know that your feelings are normal and you have the right to own them. You will have good days and bad days but as time goes on there are more good ones and less bad.I think your work with the at risk kids is great. I know how much it means to them and I’m sure it is also good “therapy” for you.
Take care Laurie and know that there are others here that know and understand. You are not alone. Feel free to come here and vent and talk about your feelings as much as you want or need to. We are all here to help and support each other.
Hugs,
DarlaDear Stephanie,
Thank you for letting us know that Matt passed away. I am so sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy and understanding. Losing a loved one to this disease, so quickly, is hard to understand and deal with. Especially someone so young. Try to take some comfort in knowing that at least for him it is a blessing that it went quickly and he is now in a better place, no longer suffering or in pain. Keep him with you forever in your heart and memories.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaDear Nancy,
I am so sorry to hear that Frank has passed. Try to take some comfort in knowing that at least he is no longer suffering or in pain. He will always be with you in you heart and memories. You and your family have my deepest condolences.
Love & Hugs,
Darla
