Cancer, a death, and moving house

Hi Bel, Support is sooo important and can help so much with stressful situations. You are certainly a walking advertisement for this. Here you are having to face all these stressful situations - cancer, death of a great friend and now moving house on top of it all - and you can say you are coping well! To feel support from your new friends and as you say, even strangers really helps to change your perspective. To be able to find positives when facing challenges is a wonderful thing. It is a sad fact that there are probably lots of people not coping so well with life, with a lot less on their plate. To feel alone even if life is going well is a far worse situation to be in. To be able to come on line here and get support from all these wonderful people, many who are themselves going through stressful situations is invaluable. We all help each other and it is great that we are able to do that. You have been a wonderful support to so many on here and I am glad that in turn we have been able to support you back. Hope the move goes well, we are moving ourselves in a few weeks (in between end of chemo and start of radiation), and have lots of support from family and friends to help with this. Keep positive and remember that we would all be there to help if we could! I'll be sending good thoughts your way to help it go smoothly! Great that you will be having a visit with your parents and in-laws to enjoy before you head back to work. Take care Deanne xxxx
