Hey Bella.

I remember you. You don't have to explain yourself. There are many of us still around from the days you posted. I don't come on here much anymore, and typically only post in the Daily AF thread.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Stomach cancer, eh? Does she know what stage it is at, and what treatments she is looking at doing?

I just went through breast cancer. Finished chemo in February, and my long-term prognoses looks good.

The word 'Cancer' is very scary. I understand what you must be feeling. The only thing I can suggest is to stay sober and present for your friend. She is going to need you. It is a long, tiring haul, this cancer thing.

Nice to see you back. Keep posting. You will need all the support you can get as well.

Cancer isn't only the 'victims' disease. It is a family/friends disease as well. xoxo

Bella, I am sorry to hear about your friend, I understand how difficult this is. I lost my youngest sister to cancer and I myself am a 12 year survivor/thriver.

Bella, just be "There" for her and know that your only job in this is to be a loving and supportive friend, as I am certain that you are.

Nice to see you here, I hope that life is going well for you otherwise.

:l UGH! So sorry about your friend's prognosis. I cannot even imagine. Cancer is such an evil beyotch!

Please take care of you in the interim. My dad, during his last few months of life did not want to see anyone except for myself, his wife, and a close friend. He didn't want people to see what he was looking like, sounding like; he was not the man he was before cancer took over him. He had too much pride. Wanted people to remember the strong, confident man.

I learned through that experience that it is quite normal for people who have been diagnosed as terminal to want to only see specific people towards the end of life. So don't take that personally in any way.

My prognosis is good. I am blessed. Thanks for asking.

Take care Bella. Please keep posting if you want or need support. :l

Hi Bella,

Nice to see you here again - I remember you from back when and have only just rejoined myself - Still wonderful people, wonderful support. I'm sorry I can't offer any words of wisdom, but just wish you all the best during this very difficult time. Take care of yourself.:l

Hi. Thanks for lovely replies..u r rite Ariel, still great folk here and support. My mates not interested in anyone outside her family at the moment...i am a very patient person..so we ll see. It just kills me that life aint fair. Anyway, im still drinking..not had anything awful happen but i do enjoy my life more when i dont drink...mad me. I cant get it into my thick skull that the high of alcohol is nothing compared to the high of life. I went for a 2nd interview today for a nice job(when youve got kids a nice job=20 wks off a year) it meets my familys needs...shit pay but hey, cant be fussy...im not Einstein..haha. Anyway, i have a good chance...its down to me and one other...wow...lil ole me did ok. Will stop waffling on now... Bells xxxxx
