I recognize this circus

[nightdog_barks]

OK, so. The pneumonia thing? I kept not getting better and not getting better and not getting better, so I had a CT scan this morning. Guess what?

It wasn't pneumonia.*

So here we go again. I mean, what are you gonna do? You gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other.**


*For those who want it spelled out, it's lung cancer.
**For those who don't know, I had breast cancer eight years ago.

Oh noooooo, oh no, friend, I'm sorry.

♥ ♥ ♥

[bironic]

So many hugs. Here when you want to talk about it - or about literally anything else, as you prefer.

[(Anonymous)]

What a shock. I'm so sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

It's srsly_yes.

[nightdog_barks]

Thank you, bb. :-)

[illuminating_dragon]

I've been wondering why you were quiet. :( I'm so very sorry that you're having to go through this again.

[nightdog_barks]

Yep, I was waiting for some kind of resolution before I said anything. And thank you. ♥ ♥ ♥

[pwcorgigirl]

I am so sorry and admire your calm, hon. (((Hugs))) I would love to go kick something for you, though.

[nightdog_barks]

Heh, I think I'm only calm because it's a confirmation of what I had suspected. I mean, Google was saying things like "Most people with pneumonia begin to feel better in a week," and I was like, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT THESE PEOPLE. Things just weren't adding up.

[silverjackal]

Oh I am so very sorry. :( You have my very best wishes, and any other help you would like me to offer.

[nightdog_barks]

Just keep being around, dear Jackal. ♥ ♥ ♥

[silverjackal]

I will hopefully be more present in very near future once the northern part of the province stops burning. (I have been on fire support, fortunately far from any fire myself.) Please feel free to message me on here or at my email any time if you want to talk, or you know, just want to scream at someone about the general unfairness of life. If you would not find it objectionable I would also offer some devotions on your behalf.

[nightdog_barks]

I would not find it objectionable at all. I would be grateful and honored. :D

[cuddyclothes]

Shit shit shit shit! I am so sorry! Shit!

I'm here for anything you need. Email, message, here or on LJ. You've been a huge part of my life since I started hanging out on LJ. You were so helpful during my bout with breast cancer. <3

[nightdog_barks]

Thank you, bb! Not only are you awesome, you are an awesome friend. :D

[cuddyclothes]

<3

[conuly]

Oh, how shitty :(

[nightdog_barks]

I know, right? So stupid and so shitty. :-P

[yarroway]

This is just too fucking unfair.

I am very, very sorry to hear that you are back in the club no one wants to join. I'm pretty sure you have addresses for me here and on email, so feel free to use 'em.

[nightdog_barks]

It's unfair and it sucks.

And thank you. ♥ ♥ ♥

[hannah]

Oh, for fuck's sake, cancer. For fuck's sake.

[nightdog_barks]

Cancer: The ultimate bad guest that never knows when to leave, leaves the toilet seat up, and never changes the burned-out light bulbs so you're always tripping over shit in the dark. :-P

[warmdarkwoman]

Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. I offer up my ear, arm, shoulder, or anything else you need.

[nightdog_barks]

[[[[[hugs you all up]]]]]

♥ ♥ ♥

[topaz_eyes]

Oh, no. Nightdog, I'm so sorry... whatever you need, I'm here.

[nightdog_barks]

That's all I need. :D
♥ ♥ ♥

shit

[oldtoadwoman]

That sucks beyond words. All my sympathies.

Re: shit

[nightdog_barks]

I know, right? It's just so STUPID.

And thank you. :-)

[felis]

Aw, damn. That's one shitty circus. (((hugs)))

[nightdog_barks]

It is! Where are the lion-tamers? The trapeze artists? THIS IS THE WORST CIRCUS EVER.

♥ ♥ ♥

[zulu]

What awful news, that sucks so much. Keeping you in my thoughts.

[nightdog_barks]

Aw, thank you so much, bb!

♥ ♥ ♥

[deelaundry]

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. Sending you all the love in the world.

[nightdog_barks]

And the same and more back to you, Dee. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[lovelythings]

♥ ♥ ♥

What can we do to help make this easier?

[nightdog_barks]

You're doing it right now, just by being here. :D

♥ ♥ ♥

[ixquic]

I am so sorry, words fail me.

Sending you my best.

[nightdog_barks]

Thank you so much, bb. It really does help. I'm serious.

♥ ♥ ♥

[taiga13]

I just now saw this, I'm so sorry to hear this Nightdog, and am always a post or tweet away. Know I'm thinking of you and wishing you well, and the next time I visit the local medicine wheel this diehard atheist will leave an offering for you.
