What askye said. I’m so sorry the news is not better. I’m selfishly glad you do have so many in your corner.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so completely not processing and not coping, I'm in awe of and slightly terrified by my denial skills. I do not want to leave this sweet old world.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh JZ, I'm so sorry to hear that, and will hope for great results from the current chemo and continued advances in treatment. Love to you and yours.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry the news was not as good as you had hoped for, JZ. Yes, I also have a number of friends who have done very well for many years despite advanced stages of cancer. You have had a healthy lifestyle overall, and have wonderful loving support. These things are as important as the good drugs. It is not denial to expect the best outcome.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Well, cancer can go fuck itself.
I always remember what Ginger said, that five-year survival rates are always running five years behind.

Always Anti-fascist!
even if it is, not all bad, right? Denial has gotten me through a lot over the years. (not really the same thing, of course, but...)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry it's such a hard diagnosis, JZ, I was hoping for better. But I will keep hoping for those better outcomes! I remember Ginger always saying to remember that the 5-year prognosis was always based on at least 5-year old treatment. Love you!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, JZ.

Love to you, JZ, and I, too, am glad you have every possible resource at your disposal. Love to all of you.

Love to you, JZ. I will hope that your tumor is one that takes super well to current treatments!
