    • About Me

      my spouse was diagnosed w/ cervical cancer 7//07. she no longer has the tumor, although we are now playing the waiting game to find out "it" is all gone in a couple of months whwn they cn do a pet scan. We also lost her mama & daddy in june & aug respectively. Needless to say it has been a bit of a rough summer and now we are just supposed to accept & believe that all is well and pick back up where we were?

      Hadn't heard lately how you & your spouse are doing since her diagnosis in the summer. I'm a long time survivor & wondered if I can be of any help.

      Just thought i'd drop by to say welcome. I'm glad they got the tumor fast before it spread. I know how scary this is and the waiting game is just as hard, hopefully everything goes well. Stay strong.

      My condolences to your wife. I lost my parents a week apart also many years ago, but seems like yesterday. Welcome to DS -- hope you find the support you're seeking here.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      diagnosed@ 35 after many wrong calls. both adhd &bipolar. I am now 49. needless to say iselfmedicated for many yrs but am under a very good dr care and have finally found a certain type of sanity. now if the other things would settle a bit or i could learn to heed my own knowledge.I have a psych degree and consider it quite ironic although i have utilized it throughout my career as a jobcoach and teacher of those with "disabilities"
