krunchykat, I am so sorry you and your daughter are having to deal with this. Sending positive vibes your way.
GRRRRRR to my back giving me problems again. I have been doing so well, and of course just paid off the doctor's bills from the last time it flared up.

So, my niece and her friend, both seventeen, came up to the city tonight for a show. The roads are getting bad and it's at least an hour drive for them back to the country in the dark, on curvy as hell roads with no guardrails (we call these "hoopie" killer roads up here) and I'm on watch duty now. May have to go get their butts and bring 'em to our house for the night (we live in the city, close to the venue).
I love the fact that my niece loves music and loves going to shows but damn, grrrrrr, I need to sleep! I fostered this love of music in her so my sis says I'm to blame.
Grrrr for not being able to sleep. Then unblocking my ex on facebook and finding out that she's apparently (at least from the pictures) doing very well in culinary school and dating a better version of myself.

Usually busy days go by fast, but today has been busy as hell but still just dragged. And tomorrow is going to be the longest day ever because we all have to go to a writing workshop that lasts from 9 to 4.
So one of my best friends has been dealin' with cancer fer over two years now. She recently went to a specialist care center in Illinois. Today she let us know that she is losin' her battle and has been given weeks to months left. I am at a complete loss as to how to deal with this. I still haven't been able to say anythin' to her yet just cause I don't know what to say. So many things.

Say you love her. Say you will be there for her. Say it sucks and it's not fair. Just say something.

Just spend as much time as you can with her. That's all I got.
That is awful news, Dan. I'm so sorry. Just be the friend that you are to her. Some words are going to be hard to come by and it's obviously emotionally overwhelming. Just carry forward with love in your heart and be a comfort.
VV is correct. Spend time with her, in whatever way is in your comfort zone and ability. Once you get past the initially barrier you are facing, you can be more honest with your true emotions and settle into this horrible situation better.
Again, I'm sorry to your friend, you, and all those effect by this. <3

It would be hard not to feel a little "poor me" , "I'm so sad" Sure you are but depending on her, let her see you smile. You can't make light of the situation but try and talk about those times you laughed and just felt lucky you had those times. Music helps a lot of people ........ Geez easy for me to say ... cr****

So sorry to hear of this Dan :-(. I remember that you have mentioned her many times on here. Hugs to you.
bansheebeat I hope you are feeling better, cutie!!
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Dan'ROO I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Even if you don't know what to say just being there will help. I know it's hard to lose a friend, and this sounds strange, but take knowing she will be gone as a gift. You will be able to say your goodbyes and cherrish your last memories. Let us know if you need anything!
Dan'ROO, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. As everyone else has already said, just be there for her. Give her a hug, a smile, your time, whatever. Just let her know she is loved. If it was me that is what I would want.
My friend who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer had her lumpectomy Friday. She is doing well and has a really good attitude about things and just the future as a whole. I've been sending her little notes/crafty things in the mail for encouragement. She is hellbent on making it to Roo this summer, so I've got to save up some money because I've promised her all the beer she wants.

I second this. Hang in there man and just be there for your friend. That means more than anything you can say or do and hey doctors have been wrong before. Sending good vibes your way buddy.
I lost a friend in November and it changed my life. I really appreciate the time we have, because that's the one thing we can't control. You just never know. I was going to come in here and rant about my day but I guess, in retrospect, it wasn't that bad. Hang it there Dan'ROO.

I was diagnosed with cancer 21 years ago. The one thing you can do for your friend is be a friend. Do nothing different and be totally honest with her. Ask her questions and tell her how you feel. My sister also was diagnosed with Brain cancer and lived for 4 months after. We had a lot of great conversations because we did not let our fear of the unknown keep us apart. She will be grateful if you just talk and laugh with her. Act like you are at Roo and listen to music and enjoy the company. Prayers for her and you!
^^that. Cancer is something to seriously contend with and runs in my family. Learned very young that you have to not ignore the pain but not let it stop you or them for living the days together out. I have been lucky to have two relatives who are in remission but the challenge is daunting
On another completely different note: People. Seriously don't ask me for my phone number in an email... when it's on my signature for every single reply. Every single one.

I wish there was an option for customer service numbers where you can pick "I am not a total idiot." I got the new TV. Everything hooked up super easy except that Comcast is stuck on channel 8. It won't change with the channel up/down or by pushing in numbers on the remote. I did troubleshooting on their forum and website to no avail. I just spent an hour on the phone with their customer service of which we spent twenty minutes figuring out what brand of TV I have and what remote they gave me when they installed the cable. The other 40 minutes was spent inputting the same codes I got from the website to program the remote and waiting on hold while they got more codes which didn't work either. If I could have skipped doing all of this for the rep, we could have just skipped to the part where they tell me to go to one of their offices tomorrow and get another remote without the hour wait.
