Hyper Emotions

Okay, this week has been hellish. My emotions are all hyped up about CharlieSheenWinning and I know this is because I have a friend who has a very type of aggressive cancer and is going for a double mastectomy today. Worrying about her has caused my emotions about everything else in my life to be amped up to the extreme.

And, quite frankly, obsessing over CharlieSheenWinning is easier to deal with than thinking about what is happening to her. This is a case of emotional transferrance.

So, please, anyone who reads this, send prayers and good health vibes out to my friend. Thank you.

I've had breast cancer - There's Good News for your friend

Oh I do understand. I've been there with breast cancer myself, and undergone a mastectomy. It's such a scary time for a woman wondering if its too late and the cancer has already spread or can the doctors get to it in time. I know how frightening it can be! The good news about the situation (yes, there are some), is that they are saving more women now. They catch cancer now at earlier stages. New treatments and drugs are steadily evolving. They are better able to target treatments that minimize effects on the total person. I was a stage one. I hope she's going to have reconstruction done. I didn't realize it myself how important to a woman's emotional identity and recovery, that having breasts can mean. More good news! - Thanks to some great doctors - I am considered cancer-free now, with every expectation of a full life-span, and unlikely to have to face a recurrence. It's amazing what they can do now. I had some excellent plastic surgeons - and now I have TWO high, round, firm breasts with nipples almost like a teenagers! Next week, I get my final procedure, an aerola tatoo, and then I'm done! Yes, I feel sexy, desirable and like a very healthy woman today. Hang tight, believe in the best. I'm sending good thoughts to your freind - and best wishes for her full health and recovery. Keep the faith all will end up well. P.S. My sister and a neighbor woman both were diagnosed at stage III (3), very close to stage VI (4). Both women were saved, and are alive, well and feisty as ever! Both are healthy today.

Oh SoaperGirl

Thank you so much for your post!!!! It's encouraging to read success stories. My friend is Stage III. This is her 6th -- yes 6TH!!! -- bout with cancer. I am hoping they go in there and find it isn't as bad as they thought. I'm so glad you're well and feeling great. Cancer seems to strike only the best people. It's uncanny. As I said in another reply, cancer is truly the narcissist of diseases.

Mine are out there,

too, Lobo. You are very insightful about what's happening with your emotions. The same thing happens to me, still, unfortunately. At least I recognize why it's happening. I send good thoughts, healing vibes and uplifting prayers for strength to your friend and to you, Lobo. Sincerely, (not) spinning. I REFUSE TO EVER AGAIN.
