i've moved house, i don't have a bed, or furniture in general, for that matter. My brother kicked me out early (because he and his girlfriend 'needed space'), and then invited TWO of his friends to share the study for a few weeks. I'm having the cancer operation in a week, and I'm going to have to put my kitty down because she has very developed cancer herself. My nan has just been moved to an aged care facility because she can no longer look after herself. I'm starting a new relationship and that's bringing up all the horrible memories of what the guy did to me a few months back. I have to see this guy every week in my acting class. Last night I had to confront the guy who abused my trust two nights after the other guy, and just swallow his "surprise".
I honestly could go on for another similar paragraph, but who wants to wallow in self pity, hey?
I'm ok, I am surviving and living through this reasonably well (I'm still sleeping, which is completely bizarre, but I am developing faux eating disorder habits and have lost weight). I will get past this crazy time, but it feels like the world has dumped everything on me possible. I mean, I'm 22 and I'm dealing with cancer already??? Give me an effing break!
Love and life to you all,
R xP.S. I am having comp problems since moving, so don't stress if I'm not around. I'm not in any way suicidal, nor do I even want to run away from this. I just want it to be over already, I need a breather!

Hugs to you Rach. Will the operation get rid of the cancer? I'm sorry if I seem confused a bit, I don't recall you mentioning that this surgery involved cancer. I'm so sorry that I'm such an idiot. YOu know I love you very much and wish I could do something to make all this easier.
i hope you get that breather soon.
love you tonnes and send you huge hugs

R,
The cancer was a surprise to me, too. I am wishing you the very, very best results. It certainly sounds like your head is on pretty straight considering everything that going on!Take good care,
Shar

Sweet Rach,
I had the same thought as Shar after reading your post, you seem amazingly calm and know exactly what your needs and wants are thru what is an out of control situation. Like Tina, I didn't know about the cancer either. I'm so sorry if I missed you having told me. Please, if there's anything I can do to help you, like doing research on the web or something like that, please let me know. The last thing I want you to feel is like you are alone with this. You have way too many friends who love you for that, OK?
All my prayers, thoughts, and love are with you as usual.
XXOO,
Greg

I had another completely crappy day - arguements at work, thinking I had to drive home 2hrs to put my cat down because she had a bleed, dumb, stupid incidental things like a parking fine and idiot customers who believe that not getting capsicum is a crime punishable by death. Well, please, go right ahead and deal out my punishment because I have had enough of the world today.
I'm sorry, I was being facetious. I'm going to curl up in my doona and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist, and hopefully tomorrow will be better.
What I have is pre-cancer cells. They will definitely be cancer one day (?6-8yrs) but they aren't yet. So it isn't that big a deal (sorry to stress you guys out), but it's just a horrible horrible hassle that I don't need, and I really don't want to have to face the possibility of cancer. My Pa died from it, my Grandmother had her voicebox removed because of it, my Nan is currently dying from it, a close friend died from it, even my cat has it...evil slaughtering maniacal thing. I feel like it's the nothing from the never ending story. Swallowing everyone up.
My favourite chant will now be...
someday this will pass.
someday this will pass.
someday this will pass.

Rach--Sorry you are going through so many things all at once. The stress sounds so over the top.

called "Rach's Life"?
The newest update is too confidential, too scandulous to be printed! See the latest version of ASH to find out all the dirty secrets...
