  not sure if you intended to sound rude with that comment or not about not having cancer... knock on wood. was that some sort of jab towards that poor girl who wrote about it earlier? or am i just bein mistaken

  apparently you have not read any of my blog. my mother died of cancer one yr ago tomorrow. my sons birthday by the way. and my aunt . my mother in law, grandmother and my mothers sister, had cancer as well. it runs in both familes. if you had read any of my blog you would know this. do not comment on anything you know nothing about.

  Hello kate! :-) I've been reading you... just noticed your blog a few days ago, but have read each of your posts. I am ashamed that someone would write what they did (above^), and I know they mean't me in their comment... I'm sorry about that. It wasn't me who wrote it, and I don't know who did either, but I apologize for what they said. I find it quite rude considering all that you have gone through. *hugs* Don't pay attention to that comment! My thoughts and prayers are with you... especially tomorrow. Chin up my dear, and remember the good times! :-)

  ty sunshine for your kind words i had no idea you read my blog. my rambles seem to hit a cord with some i guess. i know you didnt write the comment. someone who had read any part of my blog would have known better. please dont apologize for their ignorance. its in no way your fault. it sure has been a long yr but i think we have turned a corner and things can only go up from here for you and me both. my thoughts are with you also . please please go to ALLLLLLL your doctors appts. you need to . if you want to get better you HAVE to . no matter what your doctor says you cant fight what you dont know. my mother refused treatments. in the end it spread from breast to chest wall  to lymph to lungs to liver and bones and generally all over. it was hard to watch her go but i knew she refused treatment because she was scared and she could still be here and cancer free if she took the treament. i could have posted this on your blog  but thought it best here away from the other comments. if i was there i would take you to your doc appts . good or bad you have to go. and the only way the doctors can help you with your fight is if they know whats going on and they will only know when you go to your tests etc........so please.......go....you need to. my heart goes out to you. when i thought i had cancer in my thyroid i couldnt get to the hospital fast enough to have it out.......

  You're more than welcome. I do believe I should be thanking you though. Your blog has really been helpful, and a good read for me. From now on, I don't plan on missing any of my doctors appointments because I DO want to get better. My mother also refused treatments (in the end), as she was sick and tired of being sick and tired... and she knew that her time here on earth was up; and she was ready to go. We couldn't make her stay because we too knew she would be in a better place if we just stopped being selfish and let her go. (I'm also very sorry to hear about your loss) Anyways, I appreciate your comment and keeping me in your thoughts. You will be in mine as well. Best of luck to you... and have a wonderful day... it's a day to celebrate her life! :-)

  P.S. - It's nice to see a fellow Canuck! :-)

  i am glad you have found my blog to be helpful. i guess its easy to write from what you know. i am so glad you will go to all your doctor appointments. as much as i dont like the doctor i know i have to go. my mother refused treatments when they found the cancer very early. so she never stood a chance of being cancer free. there is alot of fear in the unknown. when we can over come that fear is when we can be free . my mother kept thinking she was going to leave the hospital. kept thinking she would get better. strange how people think when the time is near. hope you have a wonderful day as well.....and yes its great to talk to another cannuck......

  Kate, I took it as you were counting your blessings so to speak...I do the same thing, and the same way. I feel kind of left out that Im not a canuck, just a cheesehead!!close, but no cigar huh!OOps, someone will probably jump on the smiking issue for that on....forgot myself there!..and I like you kate, its like reading myself sometimes...chin up gf...2008 has got to be better

• Sunshine_Mariah said on Jan 13, 2008....

  Oh 4lorac, I am not a canuck by birth... so technically it doesn't REALLY count... therefore, we can make you an honourary canuck so that you fit in! :-) Welcome aboard girl... it's nice to have someone else around here who sees things similar to us.

• katelovesorange44 said on Jan 13, 2008....

  ty for the comments ladies , i like to think that we all see a bit of each other in one another. the more we can learn from others the less fear we will have ....dont u think?
   
  yes i was counting how lucky i am. but like anything else nothing lasts forever but will be thankful for what i have right  now. and yes 2008 can only get better. and i like to think of it getting better every day.......
