god. so of course, my mom's birthday was this past weekend, and my neices and nephews came over. Well one of my neices had a SV the night before she came. Mind you that it was very rude to bring a sick child especially when your mom has just got over chemo. I felt bad, but I LEFT..do you think that was wrong? I mean, I dont wanna hurt anyone's feelings, but I just cant deal with it. I think it was stupid to come if you have a kid that wasv* all night and all morning. WTF?! SoI left. I felt kinda bad, but darn it.





So I got this email that a NOROVIRUS was going around a college campus about 1.5 hours away, but then one of the students in my western civ. class came back wednes. (he was out mon, no western civ. on tuesdays) and said he had "that v* everyone has been talking about" well thats what he told the teacher, he even had a dang dr's note. I dont live on campus, I dont eat on campus, allI do is go to classes, AND THATS IT. This phobia has pretty much taken away what life I do have. I dont care, I can have a life in the spring when colds, v* , etc. aint so dang prevalent! So whats the chances (im an emet, so I wash my hands , open the doors with my shirt sleeves, if i dare hear the word SICK im gone likea bat outta hell, etc. etc. ) that I will catch this virus? Is there any suggestions to make more SURE of it?





I know sometime its gonna happen. But NOT THIS YEAR PLEASE well reply back asap! Thanks for listening!

Well, I would have done the same exact thing you did. I would just call Mom and explain why you left, and if she knows about the emet, she will understand. I hope she's doing OK after the chemo, and yes, that was very inconsiderate to bring a sick child near your Mom! Some people, I swear!!!!

I never seemed to be amazed at what people will do. Bringing a sick kid around a person who just had chemo is about as selfish and dumb as well, I don't know what.


You did the right thing. I am sure your mother will understand.

I can't believe she brought a sick kid to your mom's party either after she had chemo. People who get chemo are so prone to getting sick afterwards. They could end up in the hospital. That's what happened to my mom. My mom got breast cancer and had a lot of chemo. Mind you though, she went to work everyday even though she was feeling like s***. I still can't believe she had the strength to do that. I admire her for that. Anyway, one night I tried calling home to see how she was feeling and no one was answering the phone. I find out the next day that my dad had to rush her to the hospital b/c she had a fever over 102. She probably caught the flu from work somehow even though people at her work knew to stay away from her if they weren't feeling well. She could have gotten really sick. Anyway, she's doing great now. All of her hair is back. I was so scared. How's your mom doing? Does she have breast cancer?

I too would of left! My Grandpa passed away not too long ago and it was my Grandma's birthday, so the whole family was getting together so she wouldnt be alone. Well, my aunt was there and had been ill, so I didnt want to go. I do think that everyone was a little disappointed, but they are more or less tired of me always acting like this. I've been having problems getting my family to understand how I feel. But hopefully if you just let your mom know how you feel, she'll understand......


"I know sometime its gonna happen. But NOT THIS YEAR PLEASE"

It is frustrating because it plays two ways...First off, it is inconsiderate for anyone that is sick or has been sick to go around other people, especially those with compromised immune systems from things like chemo. I don't understand while people do that...Second though, it isn't good that we get so afraid that we miss out on joining in parties and gatherings...I am the same way that you are and I understand why you left. I just think that it is so sad that we miss out on things because we are afraid to v*. I wish that we didn't have to do that.
