DEAR JO-
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE. I KNOW I CAME OFF A LITTLE
ABRASIVE THE OTHER DAY CONCERNING SOMEONE ELSES MESSAGE, BUT PLZ. ACCEPT MY
APOLOGIES FOR THAT. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH HELL OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS,
AND WISH I WOULD HAVE FOUND THIS SITE SOONER. I WAS DIAGNOSES WITH OVARIAN
CANCER ABOUST A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, AND AFTER I HAD A LAPAROTOMY AND TOTAL
HYST. I FOUNG OUT THAT WHAT I HAD WAS NOT A MALIGNANCY. (YES, I HAVE FILED
SUIT) THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND MESSAGE BOARD THAT I HAVE POSTED ON, BUT THE
FIRST I WAS TALKED DOWN TO, AND NEVER POSTED AGAIN. THATS WHY I JUMPED TO
CONCLUSIONS HERE RECENTLY. I HAVE HAD TO FIGHT MY BATTLES ALONE I HAVE HAD
NO FAMILY SUPPORT WHAT SO EVER. MY FAMILY TURNED THEIR BACK ON ME DURING THE
WHOLE ORDEAL (THIS IS ANOTHER STORY IN ITSSELF) I JUST REALLY NEED SOMEONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS AND THAT I CAN LEAN ON TO TALK TO... THATS ANOTHER REASON I
SAID WAHT I DID THE OTHER DAY, I KNOW HOW MUCH IT HURTS WHEN SOMEONE BRUSHES
YOU OFF, OR DOESNT CARE. EVERYONE THAT COMES TO THIS BOARD IS SEARCHING FOR
ANSWERS AND SUPPPORT. I DONT WANT ANYONE TO FEEL LEFT OUT, OR BELITTLED
BECAUSE THEY MAY ASK A QUESTION WE CANNOT ANSWER, OR DONT THINK IS
APPROPRIATE. WE ALL HAVE BEEN THERE THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF OUR ILLNESSES,
AND SOME PEOPLE NEED ONLY WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMET OR PATS ON THE BACK, AND IM
SPEAKING FOR MYSELF HERE, WE DONT GET THIS FROM ANYWHERE ELSE INCLUDING THE
MEDICAL COMMUNITY.I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN IN RURAL WEST VIRGINIA, AND THE
MEDICAL COMMUNITY HERE IS HORRENDOUS. CIAL I HAVE BEEN SO LONELY OVE THE
PAST YEAR, I HAVE CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE, AND MANY OTHER HORRIBLE THINGS. SO
ONCE AGAIN PLZ. ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES, AS I CAN SEE THAT YOU HAVE A LOT OF
INSIGHT TO OFFER AS WELL AS ENCOURAGEMENT. AND I HOPE WE CAN TALK MORE LATER!
PLZ. EMAIL ME (ANYONE) AT CAROLINE102270@AOL.COM OR AT PCABINSAY@HOTMAIL.COM!
LOTS OF LOVE
CAROLINE
