Shelley, you have put into words the deep, raw feelings that I experience everyday WITH you! Thank you for your post - those words will live on by every cancer patient that reads them.
I applaud your ability to describe our plight and journey not wanted. To me you are an Angel to guide us to how we must manage our daily lives trying to appear “normal” to others while suffering our true reality of cancer slowly robbing us of our lives.
My heartfelt thank you Shelley!

@dbamos1945 thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. Reading your message brought tears to my eyes. It means more than I can say to know that my words reached you and that they made you feel less alone in this journey.
You described it perfectly to the exhaustion of trying to navigate a 'normal' life while dealing with the heavy, hidden reality of what we are going through. It is a burden that is so hard to carry, and knowing that we can share that weight together, even from a distance, helps more than you know.
Thank you for calling me an angel, but please know that it is your strength and vulnerability in writing back to me that gives me courage today, too. We are in this together. Sending you so much love and strength.
