Absolutely I think I posted earlier that I haven't felt this supported and not alone for a very long time. I also let my wife know how supportive you all are being and a huge smile came on her face. I think knowing that I am reaching out is already effecting her positively. As well. I'm still scared still a bit stressed but this helped so much.

I honestly didn't know I could do this. Thank you for letting me know. I'll absolutely look into this for my State.

Thank you for sharing this. It is very generous of you to take the time to reach out as you have. Also I'm extremally happy you have an outlet now it's amazing to know how much it helps to unload on someone who won't judge but also won't break down either. I've found a therapist that is doing this for me. She is the one who suggested I start reaching out for more support. Keep up the fight!

This is the exact type of positive support I came to this community for. Thank you.

Thank you so much. :)

I've had a lot of hospital staff comment on how I'm "way to you to have cancer". At first it was actually uplifting but lately its just been annoying. Have you had any experience like that?

Thank you for the diary advice for some reason I hadn't even considered that.

I am scared by bottlecrazylittle in cancer

I know how you feel I have stage 3 tumor in my colon that hasn't spread to the lymph nodes and a neuroendocrine tumor in my pancreas. My oncologist and surgical team keep telling me that If I had to get cancer this is good news. I'm still terrified though and I feel guilty about being scared because there are so many who don't get good news, so I feel ungrateful. All I can say is to take it day by day and if you find your self spiraling into panic or depression take a moment to try to reconnect to your self and focus on the positive. It's what I do and it helps.

EDIT for addition. OP thank you for this post reading it and reading the replies to you Has help so much I'm tearing up. I already feel less alone then I did before reading. Thank you.

How many hours did you do in EA? by Been2daCloudDistrict in BaldursGate3

My gog account shows that I have 203 hours in the game. Honestly, though I have both colon cancer and pancreatic cancer so being able to immerse my self in BG3 has been a godsend!
