Location: SE Louisiana | I remember watching this on TV and thinking it was the BEST performance I had ever seen... I was in the 'Throne Room' and when Melissa started to sing I hurried out because I thought they had found a way to bring The Lady back to life.... Bald as an eagle right after Chemotherapy and just as brave as anyone I ever saw... she did this!!

| Thank you for that beautiful reminder. I find out tomorrow if I carry the Braca mutation and or 22 other genetic mutations known to carry higher cancer odds.
Thank you for keeping the struggles many go through daily in the spotlight....nearly every family has been touched by cancer in some way....we need to find the cause and cure this horrible disease.
Thank you if you are the loved one caring for your mate, friend, lover, mother, father, child.......thank you for treating that special person......as a person and not the disease........thank you for being there, in sickness and in health, thank you for caring......and seeing, feeling the true person being hidden by the disease.......cancer is too clinical......it has become a game of statistics.......it needs to return to a place of compassion, support, and understanding.....those who treat you the same way now as they did before your diagnosis......those are the people that most with cancer need around them....they want Normal again.....
Thank you for starting this thread......you have a good heart.

Location: Carpenter, WY | I looked at all the 'dislikes' and it actually brought tears to my eyes and made my heart heavy. Going through cancer is like riding a physical and emotional roller coaster for not only yourself, but your family and friends. I pray you never have to experience this horrible life altering sickness. How you dislikers could not see the courage and pure joy this artist displayed in singing is just beyond me and I feel so very sorry at your lack of compassion.

I agree with you on this!. My mother is going through this right now and it's a horrible thing to watch them suffer. It scares me that we have people in this world who can feel this way  Prayers to you teethaha |

I'm sorry tee, I too think the dislikes are sad. I have lost family and friends to this dreaded disease, many prayers for you for complete healing.  |

For whatever reason, my post got some dislikes. I said that I was praying for someone on her awhile back and got a couple of dislikes. I don't know what's wrong with people other than the button is safe for them. Cowards. Don't give them any thought Meg. Yea, they'll use the excuse that they don't like one or both of us, ( komet or I) but really, something is deficit in their character that they'd feel the need to come on this thread on a subject so near to some of us and start their stupidity. I've never understood the dislike feature anyways, causes nothing but trouble, and fb doesn't even have it. I wish people would be mature enough to scroll past the threads that they don't care for and have some compassion for those of us that care. You and I have seen a lot of good on here over the years and some not so good and I do appreciate bhw because that's how I met you and I'll say it again and again, 'you're always in my prayers.' |

| I do not see beyond the courage of the woman.......cancer destroys lives, but we should not ignore how we live, besides politics which many times divides us, a thing like cancer unites us both as a species and those with souls or spirits. Suffering is universal as struggle and endurance, determination, drive, will, spirit or the strength of ones conviction....tools which help in the fight.....want to help someone with cancer? Ask them if they need anything from the store, pick it up drop it off.....they pay but not having to go to the store is a gift much of greater value...fatigue does take a toll.....the chemo keeps everything down...you catch every cold...Staph, other problem.offering to pick up scripts...close friends only. Cancer warriors need to stay away crowds. Errands help.... Making a dish and bringing it over on chemo week.....highly spiced dishes are really enjoyed as many chemo block taste and smell. Highly spiced foods both sweet and hot seem to be enjoyed by many. I know that is the way with me.
I would say giving money to someone to pay bills unwise unless you personally know them well. So many scams out there good caring people get preyed upon by predators......to me they are insects.
We can all agree that any one affected by cancer needs encouragement, they need normal, they yearn for moments to get away from doctors exam rooms tests, sitting with a bag and needle in a port, they yearn for open space, like nature, the beach, the mountains, horse back riding, swimming, out with the girls or boys, quite time, naps, snacks, massage, phone calls, cards, compassion, and laughter....and love.....everything else is nothing but differences of opinion.....I know I have done things I wish I could change from the past....but I do not regret them, they thought me valuable lessons and I had to re-evaluate my own beliefs......so I respect all opinions even if I do not share all of them. She is facing cancer with dignity by showing its true face.....I do not have that kind of courage....well once in front of coworkers. But to the world.....I do not think I could do it personally. I have to give her a rose for that. Loved it.
Teehanah hope I spelled that right, I do not know you, but your in my prayer list now. If my spelling is bad....sorry had chemo today......leaves brain fine....gets to hands it goes haywire and auto correct can be crazy.
Good luck with the race teehaha, I know your going to beat this, keep the fight going warrior....have faith God bless you all.

| I probly shouldent say a thing but its not sitting well with me
How can you people let your dislike for Komet become something so awful and negative to a w ounderful lady that is struggling with cancer. You should be ashamed of yourself it might be a click of a button to you, but that's hope to sombody that's struggling and a heartbreaking responce.
Regardless of what your feelings are for Komet and all hes done, this is NOT the place. You should be ashamed.
