ouch sorry to hear. my father died of cancer a few years ago. as for the family thing its normally best just to come straight out and tell them. another way the cowerd way would be not to at all and just live the rest of your life happy with them. so in the end they wont think of the time you spent after knowing as a sad time. i really dont know what i would do, id probably optd for the crowereds way out...

Shit man that fuckin sucks. Many of us never really take the time to be thankfull for good health and shit. I really admire you for not letting it drag you down as it would most of us. As for telling your family, I don't think I can help ya. If it were me, I'd probably start out simple. I would mention some small things in conversation like "If I were to go in my youth, I wan't you to do this ____." etc. That's just me though. Once again I am terribly sorry you have to go through this shit and that I really admire your courage. I wish you and your family the best of luck.


P.S. I see that you like HIM. I just started listening to them myself. Love what I have heard so far.

Sweet B. was happy to hear your voice today and it was hard not to cry on the phone. I am here for you whenever you need me. We will work out details for next month. I think the only thing you can do is tell your family & friends straight out what's going on. Stay Strong & I love you hon.

Thats CRAZY..you should seek acupunture and cranial sacral therapy. Im sorrry to hear that...Dont trust western physicians..try holistic healings first before anything. Itll all work out........ Ill be doin some healing for you from afar. Definatley like to hang out one day...Stay positive.

dude, that fuckin sucks

That is just awful news. I'm so sorry to hear this. I've been through this with other people a few times, and it's always a shock. The one thing you need to remember is that this doesn't change who you are. You're still the same person who's smart and funny and has a lot to give to others. You're still the same person your friends love and respect. This is a new thing in your life that you have to deal with, but you're still you.

Your life just changed in the most dramatic way anyone can imagine. Don't hesitate to lean into whatever resources you have that can help you.

the best way to tell your family and friends is face to face if you can ... next via phone call if face to face is impossible. don't leave a voicemail or send an email.

you're going to have to be direct. you're going to have to deal with a lot of shock. the most important thing i think you can do for yourself is to hook up with a good licensed psychotherapist.

this is a whale-load of shit that's just been dropped on your door. a therapist can help you get an understanding of everything you're feeling, and what you can do to help you interact with other people. there's so much on your mind right now ... the world just got dropped a helluva a bomb on you. an extra head working with you, one who has a professional understanding of human interactions and is unconditionally supportive of your needs, is something that will really help.

What? Are you for real? Jesus that sucks...What the fuck, you're like 28! And surgery is no way an option? No matter which way you tell your friends & family it is gonna be very traumatic & heartbreaking. My mom was just diagnosed with cancer & underwent surgery but it is all a big fat unknown. At least you aren't gonna dwell & live your life to the fullest but I think you should explore EVERY possible option you can...I am so sorry that I can't give you more of a comforting or intelligent response but my thoughts are with you...

I almost don't believe this is true. If it is i can't say anything. Tomorrow i get tested for Hepatitis C, which i could have b/c of blood contact w/ my ex who is positive. But that would give me 10 years if true. I don't have anything to say. Come to Philly, the Burlesque here is Feb. 4th.

i like my coffee the way i like my women...covered in beeeeeeeees!!!! ya i was VERY excited that night i met him!

hey! i used to live in balmer too!

ok personally for whatever my opinions are worth, do NOT go to a psychiatrist. they'll just put you on some drugs that actually cause insanity and i don't think that's what you need right now. if you doubt it, ask any psych if he takes his own medicine. then ask him why not? he'll lie, but you'll have your answer. ok next thing...i don't know what alternative solutions there are to this, but i know there probably are some. people cure themselves of things all the time. it's just that the american medical association doesn't approve because their drug industry counts on drug treatments whether they fuckin work or NOT. i'll look around too. and as far as telling your family, just be honest.

thanks!
