things changing

Well, I have stopped going to my weekly support group at Gilda's Club. It is time. The last few weeks other things have take precedent including at work moving into a new building this week. I am grateful for the support they gave me so I could begin to talk about my cancer. But I do have one complaint, I had the feeling that because I didn't go through chemo or radiation, or that I was going to die from cancer, that my cancer experience was some how less than the others attending. My experience with cancer is just a scary as any one elses. So I am now looking for post treatment support. Gilda's Club does have a monthly meeting and I have found some on-line resources. Livestrong.org is one resource - it is the foundation that Lance Armstrong started. I was surprised at the depth of information and connection they have. I am feeling good and really dealing with just every day life now.

I did want to add - I do feel a little trepidation about moving on - letting go of support, even if it isn't working for me. It is stepping away from those with whom you have a common language and experience. While I still have all of you as wonderful supportive friends, there is a little sorrow in me in saying good bye. It is simply mourning a change.
