Thankyou for liking my answer. I think that Risa gave you the best answer. I won't nag you anymore. I do know how hard it can be in dealing with potential in-laws and out-laws. I pray that you'll have the strength to deal with this trial and the following issues.

We all feel that you have the inner strength to do this. We just need to talk to others about problems. It can be so hard to talk to a family member or even a friend/neighbor because of the possible gossip factor. Then they just get more overwhelmed, and they don't always have the right reaction and the problem gets worse.

I pray that you have extra strength and dignity during this trial. God bless you.

Go, but you don't need to stay long where trouble and drama happens. Go to the ceremony, Say congratulations, Apologize for leaving the reception and say that you don't feel well. Remember that your son is marrying her-not you. Remember that she will be the mother of your grandchildren. Remember that if your son decides that it's a mistake that he needs your unconditional love.

People know that my marriage lasted only 37 years, then I went to school, etc. What people don't know is that the week I started school, the other Mother-In-Law began a prison term for prostitution, drugs-possession and intent to sell, and possession of stolen property. The priest refused to marry my son, because his wife came from the worst family in Western New Mexico. My grandsons didn't have any uncles on that side of the family, as they all died young from drugs and alcohol. The girls, engineers, Olympic team members, one married a US navy officer- been married to him for 20 years. My DIL is a good woman. One sister did die from drugs in another state. Unfortunately these unions happen and mothers just have to suck it up.

I hope your treatment starts getting better. I'm thinking good thoughts for you!

Thank you for providing feedback on my question about sleep problems. I'm glad you are able to get more sleep than 2 hours. That must have been awful! I hope your body continues to heal and you can get more than 4-5 hours soon.

Hi there, I was diagnosed about 2 months ago, on the same chemo, stage 2b, if you have questions, ask away

Hi, lisahal. I see you're new to the web site. You have found a great resource here. There are a lot of really wonderful people on this web site - very kind, helpful, and supportive. I hope you find as much support here as I have. I bet you will. Take care.

Lisahal,
Welcome to the whatnext site. In the short time that I have been a member here I have found it to be a very friendly place with many knowledgeable people. I am sorry that you now have a diagnosis of breast cancer. When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer about 12 1/2 years ago I remember being very frightened but as time went on I slowly became less frightened. One thing that helped me was to realize that even though I now had breast cancer I still had a lot of living left to do. If you post any questions or concerns that you have you will get the benefit of the knowledge and experiences of many different people. Good luck to you as you begin your cancer treatment.

Welcome to the site. I am sure that you will find this a friendly place to come when you need someone to talk to. We are all in the same boat when it comes to emotions and feelings about our health. Just know that no question is to silly to ask and if you need to vent because you are having a bad day, we are here for you. I hope you find this site as helpful to you as it has been for me.
