An amendment to my earlier post....

I feel as though I should amend my earlier post in case I came off as harsh. I do appreciate everyone's good thoughts and the fact that they mean well. My friends and family for the most part have been my tether to reality during this whole mess.

Knowing that next week I have to see my oncologist and begin the testing and everything is really freaking me out. And I have to admit that I'm really sensitive right now. And scared.

I did mean what I said in my earlier post. There are alot of well-meaning things that people say to me (and other cancer patients) that aren't helpful. I do realize that it's hard to know what to say or how to act. All I ask is just be my friend and don't minimize what I'm going through.
