I cant even believe this is happening to me
Sunday, August 17, 2008 by Vampothika | Discussion: Community
I always thought life sucked, but even more so than now. i got diagnosed with cancer of the breast. and quite frankly im pretty numb, i have no feelings to even find. this is what god has now decided to shove down my throat. the darker half of me just wants to let it fester internally until it kills me, so i can finally fullfill my lifelong dream and join my dad in his grave. the other half says fix it, get the opporation. i dunno what to do
quite franky, im pretty sure most of you are secretly thinking "oh goodie shes going to die...' I dont blame you, I never wanted anything but to be liked by people. its pretty hard when you dont have a mind that functions like everyone else, so your just not normal in the first place. so it really makes no difference if your liked or not, either way your just an outsider....
I dont want anything, reply if you want, or dont reply either way, i have to deal with this my own way. so if you dont see me in the forums, but you see me skin every now and then, yeah im still here, but what ever my fate is, will just be that, my fate.........................

First, Fuzzy's leaving, and now this.
Hope you pull through this Kitty. Ditto to HG's comment

When my wife died eight years ago, all I begged for was to be taken instead of her, and then just to die to join her. These were the darkest times of my life and thankfully, a patient of mine, a Psychiatrist, treated me.
Now, just cut the self pity stuff. Bad things happen, and a Deity doesn't (if one exists) play any part in it. Obviously you are calling out for help. No one but you can do that so get yourself to a Psychiatrist or a Counselor (hopefully both) and get it in gear! Get going with a reputable Surgeon as well. You might want a female, so talk to your local Cancer Society and get a good one.
Passive suicidality is a state which causes you to refuse treatment. Breast cancer can be a cause of depression, much like an infection causes a fever or painful swelling. It can be a sign of the disease lurking below.
Find the energy to do what you know is right: To seek treatment. How many people in this world would give anything to have your choices and options?
Enough. Please count me as a friend, and please email me if you wish. I will try to help as much as I can.

Sorry Kitty, I don't mean to be so blunt, but I don't know how else to say it.

My point is don't give up. It's a battle that's fought by women everyday. Some let it completely consume their lives, but others choose to live life and fight every step. You can do it! We'll be praying for you!

a little background for perspective ...
testicular cancer at 28 .. surgery and a year of treatment
broken neck and 6 months physical therapy to learn to function again at 41
menieres disease at 51 (imagine the feeling when you get off a playground merry go round ... head spinning, sick to your stomach ... for up to 7-8 hours nonstop)
Like I said ... your choice .. quit or go down fighting

I was in perfect health until March of last year until all of a sudden while working my whole left side went numb...it wasn't a stroke...but they have no idea what caused it....of course it cost $70,000 to find this out...and I still have no idea what the problem is. But in the process of trying to figure out what happened they were nice enough to inform me that they did discover that I have 2 Aneurysms....1 in my ascending aorta...and 1 abdominal aortic.
In the process of all this I lost about $8000 yearly extra income when I couldn't continue doing one of my jobs...and...after informing social services I was now making even less money....they informed me that I now made to much money and discontinued my Medicaid.....go figure. As a result of that I have no health care nor can I afford to pay for the CT-Scans to monitor the progress of the Aneurysms.
So I had to just accept the fact that my days may be numbered....who knows when. Now mind you...its not the dying part that bothers me....its the not being here anymore. But I now have an exit plan in place when I get to the point that I can no longer take care of myself or pay my bills. In the end I was lucky enough to get in with a Pain Management Specialist I can afford and no take about 80mg of Valium and 1200mg of Neurontin a day...and it pretty much just barely gets me through the day...but if it weren't for that I'd more than likely have just checked out...so to speak.
So your not alone Kitty.....millions of people are going through numerous ailments right now all over the world. If you have free health care there...take full advantage of it and your chances of getting better are pretty good these days.

I think I can speak for many people here and say that we love you, and we want you to live! Get the surgery if you need it...do everything you can to get rid of it! I know several women that had breast cancer, did what needed to be done, and are healthy now. You can do it too!
We are here when you need us.

My wife was in a coma for 2 months, 9 months in a caring facility and now has 22% brain damage, completely different person who never leaves the house. Myself I have had 44 major surgeries in the last 7 years, 7 back fusions, 4 abdominal hernias they covered my whole stomach area with titanium mesh, my legs, well my legs have had the brunt of the operations, they are just titanium joints and rods covered with flesh here and there, now I am going in for my 8th back fusion soon, and you know what, with family, friends and each other, plus our son we still have a big juicy smile on our faces, never give up Kitty, I don't even know you and I love you, a surgeon once said to me..."It can't always happen to somebody else, sometimes it happens to you...", Kitty hang in there girl, don't let the dark side of you win, you can beat it.
Love ya Lots

Here's another one for ya. I suffer from depression. I went off the meds some years ago and that was a mistake. Recently I suffered a breakdown of sorts. I'm back on the meds and it sure has helped me think straight. Keeps me away from "those bad thoughts".
Like Web said take the medical they give. Like Jafo said get the op. Take the meds.
This place is better with you. The world is better for you.
Get better! Doctors orders.

Whether you believe in God or not, life is always worth the effort to hold on to.
Others have written more, this is all I got. When it comes down to it, it's very plain and simple.

Sweetheart...If anyone even thinks that, I will personally kick their ass. We love you Kitty and only hope the best for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers!

I hope you realize that yours as well as all lives are worth the effort to save. To throw one away is a shame. You are loved if not only by folks here but by those at home and around you.
Depression can hamper you from accepting the fact that life is worth living and it will get better, with time and support from loved ones. Remember the night is darkest just before the dawn, and a new day emerges from it's slumber.
peace kiddo
