Let me be Me Community Group
A support group for those of us that need a safe place to share what ails us. Or what doesn't! This group is your group so you can be the person you really are, no need to pretend, no need to create some successful cyber image. Whether sharing our trials and tribulations, or our success's in life. Whether in sadness and needing comfort and support, or just...
Before I read any thing here now...I need to talk....Rayfoof posted her MRI a couple days ago....I've been aching for her since....she posted earlier today that they had confirmed what she had expected....but she didn't seem to know how serious it was..( I only knew because it was something I've researched recently).....
She posted a little bit ago that her dx has been changed from chronic to terminal.
I'm trying to keep a positive attitude for her....I've cried to my daughter and husband since she posted her MRI.
I want so much to be able to support her in the way that's best for her.....how do we know what's best for someone? Do you say fight, fight fight..no matter what? My heart literally aches.

I think it is best to see what type of reaction she is going to have and just try to be there for her no matter what.
How she will react after that wears off, I do not know. Just be there. Pray. She will need our strength when hers flags. She will need our love and understanding. She will need us thru the fear and the anger. She mentioned meds to shrink and surgery after, so there is still hope.
Know that, and help her know that. Be realistic enough and friend enough to prepare for whatever may come. This includes making plans for her child in the event that she can no longer care for him herself. She may ask advice on these things. She has some good resources at hand. A good set of doc's, a caring and competent case worker, and a lawyer for her disability. When in doubt, refer her to these.
It hurts that someone we love is in such danger and struggling so. But we can ease her hurt if not our own.
This is an amazing community and we can touch lives and do amazing things. So reach out and let her know you will be holding her hand thru it all.
I'm sure there must be alternatives. But we must encourage her to fight and support her in any way we can.
My prayers will be for her.
