Tomorrow, Rich will be going to the Oncologist. We put together a list of 20 questions to ask. I am extremely nervous

and depressed. Every night I take 4 meds to help me sleep. However I have been having horrible dreams. I was hoping my family would send a card. Rich likes it when he gets the cards and has them lined up on the mantle. Beside worry about Rich, I was taken in by my Mother and sister. I should have listened to you folks. She left a message say she was very sorry for hurting me and loved me 100
percent. Wow, she has changed. So I called, boy was that a mistake.Between her and my sister screaming at me and saying nasty things about Rich. I have had it. Five minutes later my sister calls leaving a shitty voicemail. I know I don't need their baggage . This happened Sunday. I was told I made the earlier conversation up ---then why did she say she was sorry? I am confused and doubted my own sanity while being their for Rich. Still no card, no calls to him. I hate them and it bothers me terribly how they are treating my husband. It hurts me, I think, more then it hurts him.

My mammo came back abnormal a year ago. I went through some things. During treatment, I wrote down who offered support because, when I am stressed and when I feel alone, my mind can't conjure up those offers. I am o.k. now, recovered. Please keep aiming for good health and building that list of folks who offer support, debm55.
