I could use some help here. My wife was just diagnosed with breast cancer. I flat-out cannot get her to look at or post to a chatroom or forum. Confused She needs more support than I can give her. And she's freaking because one insurance cancelled before the new started. Might have to do it woithout insurance.
Anyway, if somebody could induce her to check in and post, I would appreciate it.
I'm modifing her e-mail so worms can't get it. Her name is LouAnn, and the mail is: ltroofer at usa dot net. Any moral support will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

My husband has cancer and is struggling daily. It's hard to see him go through it and I'm searching resources and printing them out for him. I'm also finding stories to print out and give him.

Maybe just starting that will help.

She looked at a few sites and got really depressed. I can't get her to post anywhere. She thinks everything is a chatroom full of creeps. Oh well, I tried. I guess she can cope on her own. Who needs support when you're that strong, eh? Confused

Everyone's different....

Speaking for myself, this forum has helped me a great deal. Through this forum, I realized that I am not alone. At times, I would read posts that are so oddly similar to what had happened to my mom.

I recommended this forum to my dad, but he had a different reaction. Reading the posts in the forum only made him more sad. He prefers to read books about cancer/natural healing/grieving process.

Maybe your wife would prefer personally speaking with someone about her cancer. Give her time to decide what means of support she prefers, but in the meantime, just let her know that whatever she decides to do, you will back her up 100%.

Take care of your wife, as well as yourself....

Hi tinner66,
Yes, your wife needs support. All of us need it. But we find it in our own way. Not everyone trusts the cyber friends… with good reasons. There ARE a lot of nutcases out here.

It sounds like you are overwhelmed by your wife’s demands for support from you. Have you told her how you feel? How do you feel?

I will be thinking and praying for you and your wife.

Heck, I don't know how I feel. I just always assume and plan for the worst and look for anything nice in that. I always hope for the best or at least not the worst, but I don't expect it.
At least I'm not often surprised when it hits the fan. Whichever way the cookie crumbles. Smile
