I know I probably shouldn't even involve myself in this at all and I probably won't keep this post up for long...but when I see that one of my blog posts has gotten over 600 views it makes you wonder what the heck is going on! It led me to find that there are people out there on internet forums who do nothing but bash and make fun of other people...The forum was actually not about me but another blogger, but somehow I got brought into the conversation!? I realize that I was brought up in a positive way at first, but it still just really blows my mind. I put myself out there with my blog and I know that with that comes criticism, but wow, I never realized how far people take it. I wish I had not even seen it! I can tell you that I WON'T be looking at it again. I'm all about the positive. :)
Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea
Hey Lindsay. I recently started following your blog. Not really sure what exactly this post is referring to, but I can imagine. I started following your ramblings for fitness tips and inspiration. I've stayed for your candidness. It takes a lot of gets to put yourself out there. Keep being awesome ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I just can't believe the negativity that is out there!
DeleteNo idea which post you are talking about or what is being said, but you are such an inspiration for me and I absolutely love reading your blog. No matter what you do, someone will have something to say about it. Hard to ignore what people say, but just remember you inspire and motivate a lot of people out there! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is a forum of people just bashing a certain blogger. I understand their concerns but the fact that people do this boggles my mind! Thank you so much for the kind wordsit means a lot!!
DeleteThe Internet is full of cowardly critics who hide behind their anonymity. I have no idea what people might try to criticize about you or your blog. I have always been inspired by your hard work and your beliefs. Keep up the good work and don't worry about what the negative spectators think.
ReplyDeleteWell, the forum was bashing another blogger and my name got brought up but still...I can't believe that people actually spend their time just bashing people! Wow! Thanks so much, Tom, I really appreciate it!
