- Re: DON'T READ IF YOU'RE HAPPY--newly diagnosed...need help

[Guest guest]

Just one thing I wanted to add to what said-

Whatever struggles you are going through are just as hard for YOU as

those of someone with what seems to be a much more challenging

situation are for THEM.

Be happy for those who had it easier, gather inspiration from hearing

of those who had it harder and pulled through. Don't don't feel that

you have no right to your emotions and concerns just because " there

are others worse off " . There ALWAYS are.

Cheers,

Alisa

> > Wow---I sure must say how lucky you sound! Now, with me here, I

think to myself, " How come it wasn't that easy for me? " I spent 2

horrible days in the hospital and am still feeling the effects of it.

I know that we are all different and our mileage varies, but why am I

so down right now? I just want it to all go away, and I want to FEEL

BETTER. My neck sometimes still bothers me and yet who am I to

complain? My tumor was 0.7 cm and I didn't have to endure even A PART

of what others in here have had to. (the RAI, LID, etc).Sometimes I

wonder WHY and HOW I had the surgery. It doesn't seem real. I'm

tired of hurting and feeling like crap. I'm sorry for dumping here.

I guess I need to get out of the pity pot and be HAPPY for those who

have success stories to share. Please delete this right away so you

don't have to be brought down by me and my bad attitude.
