Small Bowel Cancer --- Help!
by AlwaysSeeking ini have a dear friend who was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the duodenum or small bowel cancer.
it is an extremely rare form of cancer and, as i understand it, not much is known about treating it.
my friend has met with one doctor and is scheduled for a 2nd opinion this week.

Just going through the same thing w. my sis, who has a rare form, neurendocrine of the liver
and possibly pancreas. At first thought to be pancreatic cancer. Nothing good about either one.
I wish your friend the best; I would say research, get online, find message boards...she found only 3
hospitals in US who have specialists in hers and is getting scheduled with one of them.
I hate this disease; I will keep your friend in my prayers.

Still, you are going through some tough awakenings. Life sucks sometimes. But then there is sunshine. Can I suggest something that works for me when I'm down...before you give up on God? Find a dark, comforting room, light a candle and meditate. Even go online and find a soothing scripture/prayer to read over...just a thank you to God for all you have, ask him to give you the strength you need to find your way. Block other thoughts, sounds, etc. out of your head.
Just take some deep breaths and take your time alone, and do it again the next day and the next. You've already gotten lots of other good ideas here.
Hope this helps and you don't think I'm too much of a crazy ol' auntie,

Tell me
by lola28 ini read ladylees thread about her sister and realized how short life is, sometimes you loose track of time and don't even realize it.
we are all so busy with a million things and sometimes we forget to tell our brothers and sisters how we feel about them so i will take the time to tell them tonight how much i love them.
the following is a list of some of the things i love about my sisters.. .

Lady Lee's sad story really got to me. Such a sad, sad situation. Her sweet sister was taken away from her much too long ago, taken by the drugs that she learned to take to cope with hurt no child should ever, ever have to endure; now she has to deal with the final reality, she'll never have her sister again.
Yes, Life is Short. Just last week I found out my 'big' sister, whose handwriting I so admired that I tried to copy it over and over as a teenager....has pancreatic cancer. There are 3 of us, I am the middle sister. And I am the one they both come to, I have the broad shoulders to carry their burdens. At least I have had until now. We lost our only brother suddenly 5 yrs ago, and I organized our FIRST Sistas 4-ever Gathering last summer at this "big" sister's house in Idaho. We had a ball...went to a concert, hiked in the mountains, kayaked on the river...had a pj party,etc. God truly had that in His plan, as we had NO inkling any of us was sick. Now, just 2 short months later, she is planning how to fight this terminal disease.
Anyway, I am rambling but thank you for the opportunity to write about my sisters. They bring joy, laughter, tears into my life and at this moment I don't know how I'll live without my big sis. We have not been fortunate to live close to each other, but as we matured we all realized, esp after our brother died, that life in this world is not forever. I am glad we all have strong faith to get us through, and we all know we will be together again, God willing. I just hope I can see her one more time.

Welcome! You will learn a lot here. Most will tell you that you have a tough situation with no hope unless your
bf decides to get out of the JWs all the way. How much have you talked to him....what would he do if you did put up a Xmas Tree?
etc? Just wondering....is he controlling you, nice as he is...but is he controlling you by your own choosing? It
appears so; you are giving up your belief system, your traditions aren't you?
There are those here who have turned their JW spouse around, but it is usually a long, tough process. Mind control
has done its damage. But it can be overcome.
Good luck,
AJ

UPDATE ON DONNA'S HEALTH
by outoftheorg intoday we got a phone call from the "cancer treatment centers of america".. donna's niece left our phone number with them.
they offered among other things to fly donna and me to the seattle area and back home, free of charge to check out what they have to offer.. that started the the "if it sounds like its too good to be true" bells to begin to ring.. i did a search on google and found they had been brought to court by the feds for false advertising and paid a fine.. it is a privately owned, for profit corporation.. has anyone on this forum had experience with them?
or have any knowledge of this outfit??.

directly?

Well today is the day
by outoftheorg intoday at 3 pm i will take donna to the hospital for her examination.she is putting up a good front but i can tell that she is really scared about the possible outcome.. being a nurse for years, one gathers up a lot of knowledge and she does know a lot about the body and its failures.. she is scared and i am terrified.
her three sons and family will be there also.
so i won't be alone.. my few children in this area are still jw's and do not give a crap about me or donna being ill.. so they won't be there.

I feel that all therapy helps...IF the person getting it uses the tools they are taught. It's all about choice, just like everything else. The therapist helps you by teaching you how to deal with situations, etc. You can use those tools and work on yourself, or NOT use the tools. Therefore, just going to psych. doesn't always work.
