All this shows me I need to get my ass off the pity train and come up with a game plan to fight it. Hell yes I’m only 4 days days into it. I think after the surgery tomorrow they’ll turn me over to an oncologist to start treatment. When you wallow in your pity there is always someone else that is fighting a harder battle and you should be thinking of them and not yourself. All that’s ahead of me hang in there were going to make it

It’s not pity. It’s shock right now for you, but yes, you will survive if you grab that demon by the horns.It’s new to you and still surreal. Waking up and still being in a night mare is not fun. Time, as in all things, will lessen the shock. If I’m direct with you sufferers, it’s because I care.

Just remember when you all are sick, you are still blessed with being sick in the BEST country in the history of the planet. Not perfect, only the best. We could be so many other places AND sick. Small disagreements mean NOTHING now. You and I have been blessed to put on a different set of spectacles with which to view the world. That doesn;t make us perfect, just a little less prone to harsh words.

Lets let this thread die down some, every person in history has a date. That’s a fact. It’s OK to think about it, but dwelling on ourselves takes time away from seeing after others to which this is new or at the end.

Love you guys, I’m outie.
