no tears

Anonymous started this conversation

I can handle what comes with brain cancer. The radiation, the chemo and all the side effects will be tough but I know I'll get through it. I am strong and strong willed. My loved ones get emotional and often have tears. I don't want to be rude but I wish they would not cry or be so sad around me. It makes me paranoid. My mom says I don't understand because I have no children. I do understand that this is the hand dealt to me so I am facing it just like any other challenge in my life. I'm not going to give in to the power of cancer and sit around weeping and asking "Why me?"
It doesn't matter. It all happens for a reason. I think part of the reason I have a brain tumor is to prove the odds can be beaten. Timewill tell but I think preparing with the most positive attitude gives me an edge. To all caregivers and to those on this site who give advice, thanks for your kindness.

Oh number3 , Your mom just feels so much love for you so she cries and others do over what you are going through. Maybe if you can tell her and the others what the sadness does to you and you need to stay positive might help. Or each of you start a gratitude journal and share memories of happier times might help everyone too.
Thank you for sharing your feelings with us and your kindness too.
hugs
