Me And My Cancer Adventure

Many in the world of PTSD will want to relate to how you are feeling over being recognised, as PTSD has the ability to chip away at our self worth. It is however your survival through PTSD that has made you strong enough to deal with your cancer. I know I have said it before but once you have a firm handle on PTSD there is nothing you are unable to take on. PTSD can be part of you but does not have to control you. Keep getting out there and tell your story and others will look to you for guidance as your strength will shine through.

Keep up the good fight,

Talked to my youngest son tonight. He warned his dad that he may not show up for his Christmas party. He will talk to the others to see if they would want to organize something else, maybe even go to his place. I told him that he should go to his dad's Christmas party anyway and that I was trying to plan something on my side, either at his sister's place or at his oldest brother's place seeing that it is closer for me. What made him mad is that he doesn't want to take a chance of not seeing me during the Christmas season because of my cancer, in case I die during the following year. He is the only one that dares talk about death with me, I appreciate his courage to do so. Even his other brother was not happy to hear about that condition. They gave a go to their dad. I knew that this was going to lead to some tensions between the kids and their father.

I'm even thinking that the Christmas diner I want to make for the kids, that I should invite my ex and his wife ... maybe there is something to be learned in this situation for everyone... even if my first impulse what to give a lesson, but the lesson could serve me :rolleyes:

Keep making your Christmas plans and I am happy to hear that you are working so hard to make this something special. Each Holiday takes on a new meaning and time with the people you love is the best gift when you have or have had cancer. It does change a person's perspective.

I have to agree with you on the point of the lesson. What would it teach anyone? I have a feeling that inviting your ex and his wife would teach everyone a far better lesson. But it really is about what you want to do and staying true to yourself.
