Hey HM,

We haven't really spoken on here, but I'm terribly sorry to hear about this. I hope you can snap out of your depression mode, and just believe that you can and will beat this.

I know it probably doesn't mean much, but we're all here to support you, and we are waiting for you to come back here and let us know that everything is ok. So try and not disappoint .

But seriously, keep believing that things will get better. You kicked it once, and can do it again. Its not square one, because you are tougher now then you were then. And you'll be tougher once you get through it this time. I don't know why you have to go through this, but just keep believing in your heart that you will.

Lots of love coming your way.

Laura, I'm so sorry to hear this. My thoughts go out to you. You can beat this, you are way too strong to let cancer bring you down, you beat it the first time, you can do it again!

Hope you're feeling a bit better today, HM.

A friend sent me a crap survey email thingy the other day and it said "what word do you hate?" I said CANCER!

My dad had it for 6 months then got his prostate gland cut out in June 2005. As with all cancers, of course there's a chance it can come back.

We spend billions fighting fucking wars yet don't have a cure to cancer which claims I don't know how many people each day. It shits me...it really fucking shits me.

Sorry, Hippie Mom...you probably didn't want to hear that. But I've read many of your posts and knew you had had cancer before from your posts. Didn't know where or when. Saw this thread for the first time tonight and then realised it's back. And now I'm sitting here FUCKING shitty again.

When are we going to realise that to find a cure it's going to need A LOT MORE MONEY that the cause presently has available. But noooo, the need for a neverending fucking war outweighs the need for a cure....until George Bush's fucking wife or daugher has cancer and then something might finally be done. There'd be a shitload of funding then! :mad:

sending all the positive vibes i can muster your way hippie mom.

Well you'd better stop moping cos for me, the thought of you sitting there moping is making ME mope... and it's making everyone else mope. How can we send you positive thoughts if we're all sitting at our computer moping? Come on, we're trying our best but you need to help us out here

I think this might be a great time for some election campaigners to call to your door

Thanks so much, everyone. I keep coming back and reading this thread over and over to lift my spirits. I'm taking this a lot harder than I did the first time. After everything I went through over the past year, here I am, right back at square one ... it just feels like it was all a huge waste of time and energy. Not to mention this is probably the end of my vacation plans (a vacation that I feel I very much need), because I'm going to need all my vacation days for treatment again. And more of going to work sick all the time. And the numbers for people whose cancer recurs in the first year are not encouraging, to put it mildly. Just all of it ... it's depressing :(

I need to snap out of this depression bullshit and get pissed off again, it works better for me. So just keep telling me how awesome I am, haha ... maybe I'll start to believe it and act accordingly.

hippiemom, I'm very sorry to hear about not only the new developments, but that you have to experience the harshness of the cards you've been dealt. It's completely understandable if this has knocked you back a step or two and that you feel down. You are certainly entitled to feel that considering all you've worked through so far. I can't imagine the time, energy and effort you have put towards healing and your health this past year, and to find out there are more challenges ahead, wow. I encourage you to feel to all of the negative things you feel--the anger, sadness, frustration and disappointment. You can move through those feelings and let them go, increasing your ability to move on and heal. I also encourage you to listen to yourself--you know when it's time to feel and mourn the lost health you have experienced and may yet experience, and also the enjoyable vacation time you were looking forward to. You are a very insightful and competent woman. You will also know when they time is right to get up, calling forth your strength, wisdom and ability to overcome. I am always here for you, good friend. Again, my thoughts and heart are with you. Peace.

And ditto what Abu said!

even with the cold baby, it still looks like my elephant has elephantitis of the trunk :cool:

seriously.. no photoshop will be used to enhance my elephant... cos photoshop doesnt have the capacity to handle that many pixels baby... yeah!!!

Yes, this post did help! Dunky, I'd give you a big hug, but I'm still sore from the surgery and I don't want to be crashing into that elephant of yours.

Public opinion seems to be divided on whether I should look at these photos, but since so many people have mentioned laughing, and it still hurts to laugh, I think I'd best hold back for now.

I don't suppose you happened to get any video of the trunk polishing, did you?
