      From JohnnyT Sunday

      I hope so. It sort of sucks that I'll hardly taste the great meal my wife will fix this Thursday or the apple pie that I baked today.

      From sabeebe Saturday

      I still have a neuropathy and I'm over a year past my last chemo. It's doesn't stop me from living. I feel I got a second chance after having stage IV - I'm not going to curl up and wither away and worry myself into a frenzy. Hang in there... as time goes by attitudes and overall health does get better!

      From kktylo Wednesday

      Thanks for the hug. It is difficult with three children for sure. My EX is a OTR truck driver, so I was used to doing it on my own. He only left three weeks ago for another woman, so we are still adjusting. I think it would not feel as bad if I didn't have stupid cancer. Whose gonna want a single mom with three kids who has cancer?
