People listen when you are real. Melanoma stage 1,2,3,or 4 is nothing to sugar coat. Just found out today that a friend from High School just got diagnosed with the BEAST. I got so angry and it took me back to that dreadful day....June 30, 2006. We all have those memories. I can relate. MELANOMA CHANGES US FOREVER. I completely here you. big hugsPrayers for Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227497951368607113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320450055573507207.post-91384253819901071532012-01-05T20:50:00.455-05:002012-01-05T20:50:00.455-05:00Just so you know, I am agnostic and usually shy aw...Just so you know, I am agnostic and usually shy away from religious people, but I like you because regardless of how you say things, you're still giving voice to things I feel and understand. And I feel the compassion in you, and it warms me. But just remember, sometimes YOU need to step back and allow others to be compassionate towards you too. And sometimes it's okay to play the cancer card... because it's not like we're making this stuff up, right? It's scary and it jumps out at you like people in a haunted house, but maybe the reason it does that is so that we can let others know why, and what Melanoma is, and what Melanoma does. <br />Right now all I want to do is give you the biggest hug ever, and tell you that if it's okay with you, I'll be saying some agnostic prayers of my own on your behalf. :)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806836190580313905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320450055573507207.post-49562941568381367402012-01-05T20:33:28.960-05:002012-01-05T20:33:28.960-05:00Carol, i was just talking about the anger that I w...Carol, i was just talking about the anger that I would have if I were in my mom's shoes with this melanoma crap hanging over her head all the time. It is scary for me too but not like it is for her. I imagine her body doesn't even feel like her own any more.....so many tests and prodding and poking. Praying for you.

Last weekend, over New Year's I was alone for 3 1/2 days...It was awful....I feel like all the progress I had made, well I stepped back about 6 steps. Jim and I were a couple, a team...we didn't let others in...and now , I am really alone. I have no close friends, except my God, which He always is staying with me....but I need close friends. I like it also that you are honest with us. My favorite song, is "God Will Make a Way for Me". Life is hard....I'll pray for you if you will continue to pray for me.
