Comments on: My Signs of Cancer http://cancercaw.com/blog/surgery-cancer-therapy/my-signs-of-cancer/ Morgan's blog about cancer, chemotherapy and where to go from here. Wed, 22 Sep 2010 16:00:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Morgan http://cancercaw.com/blog/surgery-cancer-therapy/my-signs-of-cancer/comment-page-1/#comment-25 Morgan Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:20:29 +0000 http://cancercaw.com/blog/?p=234#comment-25 Baby, I'm sorry you have to relive some of these experiences doubly, as a result of the blog. Yes, I do believe sharing the photo and my scars is important. It's not about the flip "interesting" comment I made in the original post. It's about being as honest as I can with what I'm going through. I need this. And I want others who come to cancercaw.com to be able to get past whatever uncomfortable or morbid guilt they might have of seeing me express my cancer. There are a lot of emotions I would expect people will have when exposed to an honest life portrayal. Disturbance and even disgust are definitely on the list, and I'm OK with that. I only hope that blog readers keep reading and find something more meaningful, cathartic or at least educational in it for them in the process. This blog was always meant to be more than a family and friend newsletter. And I welcome all dialogue. What do others think? How much is too much? Kasha knows there are other things I could tell you now that occurred this week and would probably disturb you. I may yet tell you what they are.

As for me (being one of your caregivers and your spouse), I am a little disturbed by this entry. I don't have cancer, but I'm living it 24/7 with you. Unfortunately, this is a subtle reminder that I cannot "fix" you and I continue to realize how helpless I am. I love you honey and I'm here for you in anyway possible. Love always, K Morgan, if you believe that it is therapeutic to relay this information on your blog and/or someone finds this article interesting and helpful, then great – mission accomplished.
