I think the...That was a pretty thoughtless comment. I think the most memorable I've received was when an ex neighbor marched up very irate to our door, and as he was leaving said to doug and I, " why don't you grow some hair, both of you!" Yes, I was bald at the time due to the second chemo. And yes, I can laugh about it now.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614297882985874665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609119457067618313.post-60116028202352295522012-06-28T12:47:58.909-04:002012-06-28T12:47:58.909-04:00So sorry that it was suggested you weren’t fightin...So sorry that it was suggested you weren’t fighting. This ranks very high on the ‘thoughtless stuff people say to those dealing with cancer’. You are fighting. Even if you’d decided to abstain from treatment and just do yoga and eat turmeric (as I’ve known people to do) that would still be fighting. <br /><br />Crazy. Well – great post. Cheers to you as you move forward.Catherinehttp://www.facingcancer.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609119457067618313.post-56880186851063664932012-06-28T12:17:50.639-04:002012-06-28T12:17:50.639-04:00Thinking, praying, glad Paula is helping, she is a...Thinking, praying, glad Paula is helping, she is a fine soul as are you.Paul Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13625604862327721889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609119457067618313.post-20970850969280660152012-06-28T11:37:48.281-04:002012-06-28T11:37:48.281-04:00I can only hope that whoever told you that you *we...I can only hope that whoever told you that you *weren't* fighting is a completely delusional human being. You are an amazing woman, mom, artist, and cancer FIGHTER. I've never seen someone fight harder for their future and it chaps my ass that anyone would say that to you!<br />I don't have to say "be strong" because you ARE strong, so just STAY strong! :) And know that you are being lifted up in prayer and good thoughts by many people.Rebekahhttp://www.queenmotherblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609119457067618313.post-25362598319135918082012-06-28T10:44:02.667-04:002012-06-28T10:44:02.667-04:00Totally makes sense!

I'm honestly sorry for them as well cause they clearly don't know the first thing about what fighting is. They'll never know how much stronger of a person someone can become through fighting whatever fight it may be for themselves.<br /><br />I could not hold back a single tear while reading this. I wish there was more I could do but everything I can do, I'm working to get done for you. My etsy shop will hopefully be up soon with a line of items going 100% of profit to you. Im also in the works with doing a fundraiser at my job where flyers get out and you'll get X amount of whatever the total of all bills are @ the end of the night (if that made sense).<br /><br />I am constantly keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers! <br />KEEP FIGHTING!!Caitlyn Wistubahttp://www.brewsaic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609119457067618313.post-29886798284903340312012-06-28T08:35:46.034-04:002012-06-28T08:35:46.034-04:00Your a strong person!!!

You are amazing. My prayers for you are continual, prayers that your needs are met, your body is touched by divine healing power, your tears are dried by those who love you most, your fears are calmed, your children are cared for lovingly when you must be separated, your supporters, friends and family continue to fight with you and met every practical need that arises... I pray you see miracles in everyday life and that you would be counted among those miracles. I pray that you would receive as much encouragement, hope, and inspiration that you have so freely shown to the rest of us. I can't pretend to know the reason you are going through this battle, but please know how you have touched me (and I'm sure countless others) by the grace and fortitude you've already shown. Even through your tears and shaking fists at God please know how very much you are loved and that this is battle is just one thread in the amazing tapestry of your life. <br /><br />Not fighting this? We all know that's not true. Please discard any comments like this that come your way and know that they are likely made out of ignorance. Keep up the fight, Tegan. Your children are going to love hearing you tell this story twenty years from now. They are going to know that anything is possible...and it is!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156024354092054113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609119457067618313.post-11885231787387985202012-06-28T07:35:31.533-04:002012-06-28T07:35:31.533-04:00I have been reading and praying for you.

I can't imagine what you are going through but I can send happy healthy thoughts to you and your family. Our kids are the same age and I just look at my two loves and can't imagine how difficult this is for you. I am thinking and praying a lot for you!Jenn Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09645128207198651622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609119457067618313.post-91404561525449810012012-06-28T07:13:48.942-04:002012-06-28T07:13:48.942-04:00I just burst into tears reading this.
