As the years go by, the more I am sure I am in the 16% that die in the first 10 years. I was inspired by a local story, which helped me start to think about what I want to share if I do die. I have letters written to my kids, lots of life insurance (thankfully) and funeral planned. Here's the link to a story about her - make sure to watch the video when you have time to cry about it.<br />http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=519872Turquoise Gateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757439386076840547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-21852341377860867912010-02-06T04:32:43.381-05:002010-02-06T04:32:43.381-05:00Hi Coleen,
Thanks for making your blog public and...Hi Coleen,<br /><br />Thanks for making your blog public and keeping it honest! :) Who cares if you swear or not?! I have become much more cynical after having the "best kind of cancer". Which brings me back to your blog:<br />I love the title! :) I have been told that I have the 'best cancer' (most curable) so many times that it makes me puke. By telling us this they belittle our condition and leave no room for expression on our side...<br /><br /> Love your blog! :))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-19653727264053867272010-02-05T11:15:47.885-05:002010-02-05T11:15:47.885-05:00i can relate to EVERYTHING you've said Coleen....i can relate to EVERYTHING you've said Coleen. The insomnia, the inaility to turn off the brain.<br /><br />The constant barrage of well-meaning people to "keep positive", "attitude is everything". It's for THEM not for us. They take cues from us cancery people to figure out how to act around us - and being "happy" and "positive" seems to make them feel they've done their part.<br /><br />Hugs to you and your wonderful spirit and fight!<br /><br />Peggypeggyhttp://www.peggyluckey.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-61131898110795412010-02-05T11:00:27.786-05:002010-02-05T11:00:27.786-05:00Wow, I am so glad you saw my blog and now I will f...Wow, I am so glad you saw my blog and now I will follow your blog. So many things you say are so real especially when people say "Stay positive" haha! Let them go through it and see how positive they are.<br />I understand that low blood pressure, that happened to me the day after my surgery. It was like I wasn't in my body but could faintly hear the Doctors and nurses trying to figure out what happened as my BP was 52.The nurse stayed with me all night until I came out of it 9 hours later. Scary YES!<br />We have a right to use what words we want and to say how we feel...I use the f.....word a lot more than I ever did, lol.<br />Anyway, it's nice to meet a fellow Canadian:)<br />(((hugs)))<br />Jill.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03978632234049776290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112198016745174278.post-45792744957750459772010-02-05T10:37:20.694-05:002010-02-05T10:37:20.694-05:00yay!!

Yo...yay!! FURY...it's a good thing! Go for it!<br /><br />You know you can link up with other bloggers right? - we all seem to do that screaming and crying in the middle of the night thing. I wrote those same letters. Not to my kids, as I don't have any, but the husband, the step children, the family...and I thought those same things. The little things become so important - we appreciate them so much. And in a way that makes everything even harder.<br /><br />Sending you big big hugs and lots of positive waves - keep in touch via the blog. <br />xxxl'optimistehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822694635023060681noreply@blogger.com
