I cannot believe some of the posts that I have read responding to Lady M's (Carrie's) post.
Alot of you who are very new to this site do not even know this woman. This is a wonderful woman who, in the past, has gone to any length to reach out and help each and every person that she possible could, without judment.
Lady M (Carrie) is still suffering from cancer and is still unable to find a bone marrow donor (which she desperately needs). I, for one, CANNOT BELIEVE some of the cold hearted replies she received.
On top of all of this, her daughter was recently critically injured.
Someone (that was very dear to her) even accused her of having Munchausen Syndrome. This is what it is called when someone continously FAKES diseases. Can ANYONE out there please tell me exactly how a person goes about FAKING CANCER?????
BTW, Cowgirl, you recently had a breast cancer scare - thats not even close to what Carrie's been through. I am very happy for you that everything ended up OK for you. However, I would think YOU of all people would have been a little more sympathetic and caring in your reply to Carrie. You should also be thanking your lucky stars.
Kiwi, I have been reading your posts right along and it seems to me you have nothing nice, only negative and mean remarks to alot of people.You dont even have a clue about this woman. So, if you dont even know a thing about the person you are putting down, why dont you put a sock in it.
All I know is that there is a God up there and remember, and I believe what comes around goes around. I pray that NONE of you ever have to suffer or endure what this woman has had to . If you did, she would be there to comfort you and help in ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, like she ALWAYS has in the past.
I do understand there are times to tell people to "get off their pity pots" - but, sorry folks, I DEFINATELY DO NOT think this is the right time and ALOT of you know that. I DONT KNOW HOW YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT. And you know who you are.
This is DEFINATELY my last post on this site - and please dont tell me not to let the door hit me in the a$$ - You all deserve a good wake up call. Some friends!!!!! Glad you werent her enemies.
Sincerely,
Marie
Bob,
Of course, I dont know what has gone on between you, your wife, Gina, and Carrie. I am very sorry for Gina as well - I dont like to see ANYONE get hurt. All I know is that I talk to Carrie by email often and she has never talked or bad mouthed ANYONE to me, personally. Whatever else has transpired, well, youre right, I do not know what has gone on - how could I?
I want you to know that I wish you the best - you are also one of the people who have always been here for me since I first started posting here a few months ago in the beginning of August. I'm just so very saddened by this whole situation.
Love,
Marie

Marie- Don't leave over this.
Hi Danny-
I'm sure I wont - you know how we write (or say things) while angry. Hope all is good with you. Thanks so much for your concern, I appreciate it.
Love,
Marie

Marie, don't leave the board because of this. I think everyone is losing sight of why we are all here. I don't want to say anything else about Carrie because I obviously didn't know her like some of you did. I just know what I read. But we are all here to recover from a horrible disease and to help eachother.
Bob, I am so sorry that your wife got hurt. No one should have to go through that. I'm sure you will hear from Carrie again, with apologies. She may have had a really bad day, week, whatever. I know that doesn't justify hurting someone. Let's all keep our focus on recovering. God bless all of us! Love Sugarbear

Are you off of the pills now? I havent been posting, but have still been reading from time to time. Is is that you are not getting them by the internet anymore? Please dont cry, honey. You have come a long way. I'm very proud of you. Let me know how you are doing with your pill situation. I had my ups and downs, but for now am doing well (Thank God). Still feel very tired (wondering when that will EVER go away???) You hang in there, sweetie. I'm here for you if you need to talk.
Love,
Marie

Hi Tina -
Thanks for letting me know. I was very concerned for her. She sounded very upset. Thanks again.

Marie- I hope I did not offend you. I know i did before. I want Lady M to come back and I did not know she has cancer. God - I wonder what is going on. I feel for her child and her. I know you too have been on here and we went through a tough one. Please if you email her let her know that she is in my prayers. WHy did she give up? I cant imaging how hard it is to have cancer. My dad died of it at 50 and my mom is in recovery from breast cancer.Id probably give up too. Please dont leave.
You are an inspiration and I have not been on for a while and do not know what has happened. It seems everyone has been fighting.

Yes, that is why I havent been on for awhile. Lady M (Carrie) is going through alot right now. I really dont even know the entire story. She is not feeling well at all. I've talked to her a couple of times today via email and I will let her know that you are thinking of her and she is in your prayers. Thanks Jen - and the past is the past, I'm not one to hold grudges. You sound so much better. I hope all works out for you. Take care.
Love,
Marie
BTW - May I ask you what antidepressant they have you on? I saw on the other post that you were taking a new one. It seems like I've taken everything on the market!!!! Thanks

Marie- It is serzone and it works right away- or at least much sooner than the others. they took it off the market in europe due to liver damage. so-i would say ask your doctor before taking. it saves me immediately when taken!
I am happy you are not mad at me. I re read my post to Lady m. I was trying to convince her. I logged on right now to see what happened. Are you going to stay off? I would like you to stay on for selfish reasons and for you. Ignore the people whom you do not like. We all come around when we are ready. i will check in tomorrow.

Actually, I thought they had taken that off the market in the US as well. Guess I was wrong. Anyhow, everyone on the board is very upset now. I feel bad for the ones that are "really hurting". I'm almost getting to the point that I dont know who to believe anymore!! I'm just sticking to my recovery for now.
This too shall pass.

Hang tight. Just follow your heart and don't worry. The only thing I know is that for me it feels right to support those that hurt. I mean I'd rather offer a hand to one who is drowning than to let them drown cuz someone said they might be faking it. Have you ever read the Oriah Medicine Prayer??? Let me share:
"The Invitation"
"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow,
if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled
and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own,
without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own,
if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy
fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful,
to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself;
if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul;
if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it's not pretty, every day,
and if you can source your life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine,
and still stand on the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes!"
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief
and despair, weary and bruised to the bone,
and do what needs to be done for the children.
It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments."
Oriah Mountain Dreamer
I love that. Hope it helps. To everyone in this situation hurting I'm sorry. It seems like there is alot of he said she said and anger running around. I pray everyone can let it go and move on. Focus within and hang onto your recovery.
Peace,

Hi Jen and Marie,
Just wanted to say I was also on Serezone. It does work well but it concerns me about the liver damage it could cause. I was just switched to a new anti depressant, cymbalta. It's new and so far it's been working wonders. I've read up on it a little and haven't found anything in there that said it may cause liver problems. It is a new medication so they may not even know this yet. Marie, you may want to ask your doctor to try you on this and see if it will work good for you too.

Good Morning Liz,
I'll check it out (for sure). I know that after getting off of the pills there is a period of depressions - but its really hard when you've already been diagnosed as "clinically depressed" - then this on top of it - just kinda hard. This is the first holiday season without the kids father and I'm trying to do the best I can to make sure they are happy - reminds me of that song "Put on a Happy Face"!!!!
Love,
Marie

Hi Marie,
Yeah I know what you mean about depression. It sucks big time. That's why I had to find something new. Whatever it takes to get rid of the depression. Cymbalta has been working so far. And I have only been on it for a week. It's also great for keeping your appetite under control. That definitely impressed me after using that remeron. That stuff made me want to eat all the time. I hope this works out for you.
