Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 kathy, you have read my mind also..i keep thinking what if.....what if i die..ong i have 4 kids, how could they possibly survive without me....the cancer thing has struck my mind also...what if they open me up and find cancer and just close me up... i am just thinking because my date is getting close..july 12...that the nerves are starting to fray.....i keep telling myself to snap out of it....the few people that know my decision for the surgery have mixed emotions.....some are behind me 100%...the others are scared for me and say i am ok just the way i am.....hey....if everything was so easy life would be boring....thanks for your kind and supportive words. kim fitchburg july 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 MJ- I agree...it helps to hear that others are feeling or have felt the same way. Wow...48 hours! What are you feeling today? I'm kinda jittery today...it's one of my last 2 shifts before surgery...I took next week off...FOR ME! ;-) If I don't get a chance to say it before Monday, you will definately be in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck on Monday...I'll be thinking of you. If you have the ability for someone to post to the group to let us know how you're doing, please do. We'll all be waiting with baited breath. Well...maybe not baited. I'm afraid of what comment might come up with, with all the recent talk of porno's and facials and all. ;-) Stay safe.
