Joe….i look for your stacks every week. And read them and smile and tear up and I want you to know that as much as I can I feel what you describe. I’ve had breast and ovarian cancer and with OC it’s not if it comes back it’s when So when you say cancer day is every day you couldn’t be more accurate. And when you say you see yourself. That is absolutely true. Thank you for putting into words what I feel and I know so many others feel too ❤️
I see you too and in your words I see myself. I can’t tell you how many times I read something you’ve written and said to myself “same, sigh, same” or chuckle because I was just trying to express the exact same sentiment (often unsuccessfully) I think we all crave being seen and heard and even though we have folks by our sides, it’s only through other patients that I feel truly understood . Thank you for being honest, funny, vulnerable, and brave…sharing your experiences does so much good for our world.
Thank you Lisa. It truly is the worst club with the best people and only in this club do we understand each other. I wish everyone understood of course but not at the price they have to pay to do so. Again, thank you so much for the support.
I admire your courage and your honesty in these posts, Joe. Be strong and keep posting so people will understand what it's like to experience life-threatening cancers. Best regards.
Mikel, thank you. As I replied to Lisa above- I want people to understand but not at the cost of entry to this club. Appreciate your support and kind words.
Thanks for the positive feedback, Joe. I'm not in the end-of-life club, and I'm hoping to survive for five years after my successful surgery for advanced colorectal cancer. I've made it two years so far, and I'm feeling pretty good. All my labs from the most recent quarterly checkup were normal and no indication in the CEA test of recurrence or spread. Hang in there.
Good Mikel. I don't want this special sub club to have more members lol and I love seeing others heal and do well. A win is a win for the whole community

Thank you so much Susan for the support and kind words. It means a lot to hear this and helps me feel like there's purpose in sharing.
