What happened?

????? was that necessary? What is going on around here?????
 
beats me phorsenuf....I was pointing out inaccuracies and stating what my feelings were toward the situation..thought that was allowed on the Community Board

I was wondering the same thing. It seems like everyone is posting their opinions just like Bumbles. Must be some history there.
 
Wait, I'm confused. In her "apology" it sounds like her daughter does indeed have cancer and she just didn't mean to sound like she was asking for donations.

But, I thought someone said that she had lied and their were inconsistencies in her story.
 

I got through page 2 and then it got yanked.

SSaterly - I am amazed that you are handling your news so well. Many years ago when I received some devasating personal news relating to one of my kids, I literally was left breathless. I could not even finish a call to my father - to tell him what was happening. Nine years later - and the pain is still as fresh - if I allow my mind to go there.

Perhaps we all process information differently. I do hope you get to go on the trip you deserve and that your daughter gets good news tomorrow and will not have to endure a lot of pain and suffering.
 
I have to agree with Bumbles. If my child were in such trouble, I would, perhaps be asking for prayers, not donations for a trip 2 years down the line.

I was wondering about why it was coming up as my not being authorized to read...

I thought it was odd that her DD had only a blood test and they determined she had brain cancer. My DMIL has termanial brain cancer and needed an MRI to determine this. The gall of some people if in fact this was a scam. Brain cancer is not something to take lightheartedly or wish upon anyone, let alone your children!!!


Before it was deleted the OP was saying that there were to be more tests in the next few days.
I don't think she owed anyone here all the little itty bitty details of what went on between her and the doctors over the past few days.

I wouldn't have donated to a fund she set up because if there is/was a medical problem with her daughter I'm sure Make A Wish would have done what they could for her.

If you worry about scams on the DIS then don't participate in giving to them. Donate your money TO Make A Wish or other charity groups....let THEM "investigate" whether they think she's "lying" or not.

Numerous inconsistencies. First of all, no self-repsecting MD would ever give news about a brain tumor over the phone. Most brain tumors are definitively diagnosed with CT scans, MRIs etc. Bloodwork may be part of the work-up, but certainly not the basis for definitive diagnosis of a brain tumor.

And, with apologies to DisMN, it is quite strange that the first few thoughts someone has after hearing their daughter has a brain tumor are about a trip that's 2 years away, and an internet website taking up a collection to pay for it. Put me on the list with Bumbles when I say that those would not be my primary concerns. Nor would the DIS be the first place I'd go after hearing that news.
 
Bumbles,
I found nothing wrong with your post and any implied rudeness on the part of others is unfounded. But there was definitely rudeness on this thread - and it sure wasn't from you.....:rolleyes:

Perhaps you have a point, but a few of us have been suckered several times. I would hope that a brief warning such as the one I gave on that thread would remind people to think before they jump on a bandwagon. It is so easy to be taken in.

Sorry if you disagree. You are prob. just bright enough not to have snookered!
 
Don't think you need a flame suit. I think we all agree, something sounds fishy. I to wish her DD the best of luck if its true. But if she made it all up I hardly think she would admit to it now.

Yes, it was necessary. Not everyone is going to behave the same way when confronted with illness or tragedy. Maybe Bumbles "would be so devastated I couldn't function enough to even post on a message board" but does that mean everyone should be unable to post just after hearing bad news?

::yes:: ::yes:: ::yes:: :rolleyes:
 
To give her the benefit of the doubt (I didn't see the original thread), maybe she got news that a blood test indicated it could be brain cancer. In her mind, maybe she's assuming the worst before the other tests are done. Since I'm a bit of a hypochondriac :rolleyes: , I tend to do the same thing.

That being said, I can't explain the request for donations. I would be requestions information and pixie dust.

No everyone would not behave the same way. But Bumbles still has the right to say how she would behave given such a horrible situation.

So therefore I cannot post what MY reaction would be?

Uh huh, there's some logical thinking there

With all due respect to the posters here...DISMN..if you have an issue with me, I suggest you take it to PMs. No sense in sullying this thread with your issues
