Hi Becky, I'll take diabetes any day over cancer, but I do understand your situation with trying to control. My oncologist told me today that most of his patients take Femara for 5 years, but because of the aggressiveness of my cancer, he has no plans to take me off of it. Even though I'm almost positive I will not have cancer again, I don't mind taking the Femara. So, it makes my hair thin, so what, still loves me and all my many friends still care about me and that is all that matters. I am one happy person. I wish everyone could be as happy as I am. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 That's why I didn't say anything TO him or even ABOUT him where he could hear it. But what one THINKS is certainly one's own business, and if we can't exchange our thoughts here, what is the purpose of this group. Re: Bruce/apology Actually, Bruce, I was hurt to see you being so judgmental about the poor guy eating all the wrong things in the cafeteria. As a Mother of three grown " kids " all carefully trained to love vegetables and other healthy things, it hurt me to picture that the poor man was perhaps reared all wrong and never got a taste for healthy things at a young age. It may take considerable intervention to help people set in their ways with failing health. (A few tears here too...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Hi Becky, One thing about me is that I hate it when I've said or done something that upsets someone. I get upset, I get angry and then I realize, it's not worth it and do what I can to make a friendship work. I was stunned and devastated with the news, even though I was expecting it, but there was a small part of me still wishing and hoping that they'd say I'm not a diabetic. So I was upset to begin with. I bought 5 books today and my husband and I are cooking tonight. Baked Salmon and steamed broccoli. Yummy! Sherry and The Snow Angels Biscuit, Peppy, Piper, Abby and Sugar http://www.picturetrail.com/gabluebird Re: Bruce/apology Oh, goodie! Nice to see y'all " kiss and make up. " I love happy endings.

Rhonda, as for peering in grocery carts, you'd be appalled at some of the sweet treats I have to buy for my skinny 18-year-old. He is 5' 10 " and 134 pounds only, so we feed him lots and he is still prone to losing weight. I often tell the grocery checker, " Don't worry. That's not for me.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thanks Sherry, For reconsidering. As someone else said, being evaluated as diabetic comes as a shock to all of us - and it takes awhile to settle down and realize that in a kinda strange way, its a good thing, because it means you can take charge of the rest of your life. And its your life, no-one elses - so you do what YOU have to do, and not what anyone else expects of you. Your family needs to realize what diabetes is, and that you are the important one here. Ive learned to type and then if I am upset, to wait awhile before I send it, and by that time, Ive usually calmed down Can I ask everyone do that - someone just commented that they were going to leave the list because someone else commented on watching overweight people - can we all be a bit tolerant - not only about fat people (and a lot of us are!!!) but also about comments - I dont know about you, but I get it hammered into me everywhere " If you would only loose weight - you could come off medication " - I tried this, if I ate cardboard for every meal, I probably would not loose weight, and being diabetic is not a one size fits all solution at all. For example, last night late, and because I was hungry, I had a bowl of corn flakes with six canned cherries in it. At 6 this morning, my bs was 16.4. Two hours later at 9.30, and with NO FOOD in between, it was 6.2 - I have no idea what happened, but obviously a late night snack is not the way to go, and canned cherries are definitely not the way to go, although I had eaten them at 9pm last night. marya Bruce/apology Ok folks, I've been thinking and have realized that I need to post this. I posted that email really fast and wasn't thinking when I did. I was hurt and angry. I want to publicly apologize to Bruce and the rest of you for posting a private email.

If this post goes through, then my unsubscribe didn't go through. And Bruce, I'm truly sincerely sorry to have upset you and I excepted your apology in private email. Thank you!
