Damn, Bri. I'm sorry.

It's OK to come here to bitch and moan.

It's damn hard Bri, but you have online love and support, and I'm sure you have it in real life too. I'd take 24 hours of your pain if I could, but as they haven't worked out how to do that yet I'll just echo Glatt and say you bitch and moan as much as you want.

And yes, Mum does include you in her prayers (as does Irish Breda, and there's nothing like an Irish Catholic for a powerful prayer).

does the song have a tune?

You deserve to bitch and moan, Bri.

The cancer wont be a bigger pain in the arse than you are ready for, because you ARE ready for it and we are all ready for it and we are gonna beat this fucker :)

This cancer thing is probably going to be a way bigger pain in the ass than I am ready for. dammmmmit! it's my favorite time of the year, too.

And, I feel lonely.

I'll quit bitchin now.

sigh

I've been feeling lonely too. I am not sure why.

BUT know how it feels to be in a situation where you think nobody can understand. Not really understand because after the well wishing people go on to their own homes there you are with the reality of it to wrap your mind around. I wish I could hug someone enough to let them know how much I appreciate love and human kindness. I wish I could hug you so you could have something warm and real to wrap your mind around. To give you peace. I wish I could do that.

~ take care ~

thank you, sky. You're a sweetheart.

everyone says, "Oh, chemo. Yeah, I felt bad/tired for two days after and then I felt OK until my next dose..." well.

I have felt like complete shit for the entire week---i am getting taxotere (spelling?) and then a neulasta shot (for WBC) the next day and I was so wiped out I couldn't even READ. I could only LISTEN (not watch) TV! I felt like SHIT rolled into a joint and smoked! I still kinda do. yesterday i had a fever of 100 (only call doc when fever is making teeth chatter or 100.5) and my bones ACHE.

I so hate this.

I'm gonna ask if I can just get a fucking mastectomy and skip the fucking fuck chemo. it SUX.

sorry. i had to vent.

I was just about to put you in the APB thread coz I was thinking about you and was wondering if you were going ok.

That said......I dont know what to say Bri....I have nothing...sorry. I wish I was one of those peoples that knows the right thing to say that makes someone smile when they need too....but I dont.

But I AM thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way, with lots of "you can do it!!" attached.
