I recently sent this message to the cancer support ng , by mistake, but the content remains valid... I was shocked to log on to this group for the first time in a while, to find a load of abuse and rubbish...not the love and support I found when I first subscribed..having been diagnosed with cancer and being terrified...I found common sense and down to earth advice, which took away the panic I felt...I will look in a few times and if it is the same I will un-subscribe.... thank you all for the kindness you have shown, I will never forget ...and hope to God that I never have the need to seek comfort here again, I fear it would be un forth-coming Pam J pointed out that I have missed the roll-call, ( run by Mary) here is an up-date Pam,dx d Dec 04, lumpectomy Jan '05, chemo 6 sessions till june ...rads .20 sessions during August...back to work 20th sept '05....last 6 monthly check-up august this year, they wanted to leave me for 12 months this time but Iwas scared for them to leave me for so long, the oncologist agreed to see me again in February...bless !!!...on arimadex, with the hot flushes and sleepless nights also use the Chemo-brain syndrome at every opportunity....beats the altzheimers excuse...people are too nice to point out the time lapsed... up to now,,, that is,...lol ....

What is happening is a number of cross-posts by one or two posters to this and other groups, which means that replies in other groups, which have very different agendas and attitudes from ours, are also visible here. If you find these posts offensive or upsetting, just ignore the threads from that poster. Their relevance to our topic is tangential at best, so you won't miss much. Tim Jackson >> a load of abuse and rubbish...not the love and support I found when I >> first >> subscribed And I do admit that your post prompted me to go back and clean up on the unanswered recent questions. Tim >I recently sent this message to the cancer support ng , by mistake, but >the content remains valid... [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > different...no-one > is ever cured.....age. 56 now.... I am really sorry the newsgroup has changed so as to cause such a reaction. I had not noticed a change, largely because of the way I deal with noxious posts. I belong to another group that had been pretty much ruined by a single person posting vitriolic rants with very personal attacks on other members and by those responding to her posts. She cross-posts on many ngs, so there is always a supply of people who cannot ignore her. I simply set the block sender feature to eliminate poss from her and her respondents. The visible number of posts decreases rapidly, so that after only a few weeks, I see very littld of it. I have been doing that here, as well. Not out of a sense that there is an enormous amount of such stuff, but rather as a continuation of the habit begun elsewhere. We would certainly welcome you back if you can find a way to avoid the offensive posts. Sandy L Hi Sandy, Could you tell me how to block someone's newsgroup messages? Thanks.

Let me know if that's you're browser and I will explain it. It's definitely nice to know now that there have been a lot more cross-posters here. Marsha Thanks Marsha, I do use Outlook Express.

It will ask if you want to remove all message from that sender; I usually answer yes. I think if it is an unopened thread, it deletes all messages in that thread, but if you click on the + sign and expand the listing for the thread, you can block and delete only the original sender (or any sender within the thread). Thanks! >> Thanks Marsha, I do use Outlook Express. >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > on the + sign and expand the listing for the thread, you can block and > delete only the original sender (or any sender within the thread). |
