Trying To Stay Positive...

[MissAnne]

Someone very close to me is having some health problems and its difficult to stay focused on anything else. I dont want to say too much because its still developing. I really hate that we have to start off the New Year like this.

Please send positive thoughts this way. It would be much appreciated.

[justanothershyguy]

Went through that in October. You have my thoughts going your way!

[mikey3000]

Health, happiness and a long life!

[MissAnne]

Thank you so so much. It means a lot. Its kind of hard to read your words without crying lol.

Just before Christmas one of my closest friends' boyfriend was diagnosed cancer. Further analysis has showed that it's a easily curable case and he is very likely to get completely clean in a few months.

I wish events turn well for you and your loved ones too.

[xbuzzerx]

Hope things turn out for the best for you and your friend, Miss Anne.

[HunterM]

Miss Anne - hope thing are looking up for your friend today.

Take care of yourself too.

[MattClaimer]

I do believe there is power in positive energy, prayer, direct thoughts of and for others. And you're getting a lot of it here for sure!

I'm sending you all I can gather and then some. Stay strong! But don't forget that you're human, and you can only do so much. Don't overwhelm yourself, you're no good to you or the person close to you, if you let it get the better of you.

I'm hoping for the best for both of you, and soon!

[MissAnne]

MissAnne...I've already left you a comment expressing my thoughts on this.

I have a thing about taking other people's trials and letting them rest on my shoulders too much. Just reading your original post makes me feel so bad. I really do hope things go the best they possibly can for everyone involved. Sometimes I wish I could just make people feel better by passing my compassion onto them through some sort of mental transfer/mind reading deal.

I know that sounds crazy...but I just had to "share" what I was thinking about this. Please keep us updated.

You and your loved one are in my thoughts.

You are such a good person. Please dont let me stress you. Especially not on your birthday week Things are definately looking up and its true.

I made this thread because at times, I am not the best at dealing with stress and I didn't want to voice my opinion to the person because I felt like that would be selfish (they shouldn't have to deal with my worries as well as their own). I am in a completely different place today than I was the other day. I was being so pessimistic. WebMD is not our friend.

The person is very young and things are looking good from here on out. When we get the test results and such I will let my Jubber family know. Can I call you all my Jubber family ?

Im going to do it anyway.

[geloge]

Glad things seem better now, I wish the test you are waiting for confirm it. Good luck

[umjreon88]

Aww MissAnne! Thoughts are with you and your loved ones! Mentally taxing but deal with in in your own terms ad odn't let negativity get the better of you! Stay positive and lovely!

[MissAnne]

Aunt Anne, tbh.

I like that

[palbert]

You are so nice. Hope things are improving.

May I Friend you?

[MissAnne]

You are so nice. Hope things are improving.

May I Friend you?

Friend the hell out of me. (That didn't sound as dirty in my head) and Thank you.

How about Auntie Anne?

Auntie Anne. <--Thats good. Its suits me. Its a pretzel franchise here with that name LOL.

[MissAnne]

It's here too, though I've never had one, buy me a pretzel Auntie Anne!

LOL and send it all the way to where ......the UK? Or is Bender the one in the UK?

You seriously got to try one of those though. They are delicious.

[MissAnne]

I'm in California, did you really think I was British?

I really did.

[justanothershyguy]

Well, someday, when I move to Scotland and marry Bender. Will you give me away?

You said I could do that!! Or am I giving Seth to you... Damn, now I don't remember

[MissAnne]

Will you give me away?

That would be a YES. A Scottish Wedding. That really sounds nice.

[MissAnne]

I hope I cheered you up a bit.

You did. Thanks Love.

Sending my thoughts, prayers and hugs to help you get through this. Don't forget to take care of yourself.

[MissAnne]

I wanted to chime in and let people know that my sister is doing good. I didn't want to say that it was my sister because I think that I have a RL friend on JUB and I didn't want to scare anyone in the family or friend circle.

This is the second breast cancer scare, but we are thinking that everything will probably be okay. Breast cancer does run in my family unfortunately. However, because she is 23 the doctors say that we should relax and be hopeful.

I feel like all of your prayers and positive energy have helped because for the last couple of weeks, the lumps have been giving her pain and the the pain stopped the very night that I made the thread. Its sounds nutty (and troll-esque) but its true and I feel like that is kind of miraculous.

Tests still have to come in but we are hopeful. Thankyou for your support. Im overcome. Please dont worry.

[palbert]

MissAnne - Very good news. Breast cancer is serious but Can be overcome. My thoughts continue for your sister and you.

[MissAnne]

Auntie Anne, you know I love Kylie Minogue, and she is a breast cancer survivor. Early detection is key. It runs in my family as well for the women, I hope everything will be alright.

I hope that the next generation of our families wont have to deal with cancer at all.

And wow, I didn't know that Kylie was a survivor. That is great. I love survivor stories. The other night I was reading Christina Applegate's survivor story.

Early dectection is the key ! You are right. I havent had a breast exam in over two years. Its shameful, really. This has encouraged me to get checked and I encourage the men and women on JUB to do the same.

I didn't know that men could get breast cancer until I learned that Richard Roundtree (Shaft) was a survivor. Survivor stories are the best. 100% better than reading WedMB stats .

[geloge]

My grandmother had breast cancer and she got absolutely clean. That was a lot of years ago and she got a late diagnosis. With current medicine advances and early detection I'm certain your sister will get completely cured too.

[MissAnne]

Im so happy that your grandmother is well. Another success story !

The doctors said that it is most likely benign. Ive learned that some women with painful benign lumps have to have surgery and some just live with them. My mother had a benign lump removed when I was in middle school and she is doing great.

[MissAnne]

It's worrying because they usually don't recommend breast exams for women who are younger than middle-age, so things like this in younger women can get easily overlooked.

Yeah its rare. Im hearing that its happening more and more to women in their 20's-30's. An article stated that it may be linked to cosmetics and other chemicals that are around us everyday. However, genetics does play a big role. Luckily in my family the last two generations have only had benign tumors. Younger women can get overlooked. Its so true. We are encouraged to do the self breast exams more so than the clinical ones.

One thing I learned from Kylie is to trust your instincts about how you feel with your body. She said when she went for a breast exam the doctor said she was fine....but she didn't feel fine so she went again to another doctor and they discovered a lump, had she just trusted the doctor she might not be here.

Wow, good for her. Im so happy that she got a second opinion. That is insane. Now Im definately going to check out that documentary. Ill try to youtube it.

That's what happened to my grandmother, she didn't get diagnosed early and it had spread too much, she passed away.

Im sorry about your grandmother . I had a grandparent that passed away from a late stage cancer as well. Ive found that older people dont get checked out as much as they should.

If you do like survivor stories Kylie has a documentary on her fight called White Diamond. You could YouTube it, or I could send you a link if you are ever interested. My signature is a line from her song White Diamond. Anyway brought up Kylie because its breast cancer and to me she's a good example of a survivor.

Sorry to hear about your grandma

Kylie is amazing and me and my family both admired her for surviving that


Glad that you sister is doing well Miss Anne I pray for her well being.

[swerve]

YIGHTZ!!!

At 23????

I'm STILL sending my POSITIVE VIBES until the FINAL results are in...

That is WAY TOO YOUNG to have to deal with cancer...

PLEASE keep us posted...

[MissAnne]

Benign, Benign, Benign. That is the greatest word. No more pain and the lumps are benign. Everyone is doing great. Thankyou all so much for your overwhelming support. Ive never treasured life so much.

Please send prayers to Sultan's grandmother, for she was diagnosed with a cancer that has metastasized.

[xbuzzerx]

Great news! Glad for you MissAnne.

[palbert]

Great news! Now just be watchful -- you and her.

[geloge]

hip, hip, hurra!

[cgymike]

Wow I just realised swerve has been on JUB nearly 9 years!!!!!!!
