Josh Griffith says - Regarding Sharons cancer story
"There will be profound emotional ramifications across the canvas.This will have a huge ramification for Mariah. It will also pull Nick in and create a surprising bond between him and Rey sort of an inter-family friendship will develop between the two of them as they’re helping Sharon deal with this. And it will branch out into her work world, into the Newmans. Nikki will be involved. As the news gets out, the shockwaves and then the support will be to the point of even changing the way Sharon’s arch-nemesis, Phyllis, views and thinks about her.”
Nick gives his friendship, love & support for Sharon & their children. There will not be any issues between Nick & Rey. Nick & Rey will work together to help Sharon.
Josh Griffith says - Sharon cancer storyline will unfold in "real time" & Sharon will still be fighting it in October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

So far, the story has been handled well, imo. Sharon Case is doing an excellent job, as is Camryn Grimes and Alyvia Alyn Lind.

It was a beautiful scene when she had to tell Rey Nick and then the children. I felt like I was reliving my moment all over again. The reactions from all cast was exactly what I saw and felt when I told my family.
Excellent job

I agree it is being so well done. This storyline will probably keep me watching faithfully. Sharon is doing a great job. I got very teary eyed when Sharon was telling Rey, and then Nick. I haven't seen her scenes with Mariah and Faith yet.

yrdiva, I hope you are doing well. I didn't have cancer but years ago had a growth that required surgery. It was a very tense and emotional couple of weeks so I can only image the fear. I am glad they won't have this all tied up in a neat package in 2 months and hopefully will make it realistic. Some idiot at another board did a post 2 weeks ago about already being tired of the sl! Sharon hadn't even been diagnosed yet!

Sharon hadn't even been diagnosed yet! Thank you. This July will be 5 years clean but between diagnosing, numerous tests, scans, operations, chemicals, radiation, doctors appointments and continued follow ups it dragged out for a year. What was surprising to me was the isolation and loneliness. People who I thought I could count on for support walked away from me because they couldn’t handle it. And people who I was not friends with were tremendous supports. People can be mean and ignorant with their comments. Truly insensitive when you are fighting for your life. I can’t say enough about how the show has portrayed the reality of this so far |

yrdiva, this storyline is making me cry, and I can only imagine what you went though. I wish I could have been there to support you in person, but that being said, I don't know if I did enough to support you from a distance. I think some people just don't know what to say or do. I know I have handled a few uncomfortable situations by keeping my distance, and in retrospect, I deeply regret that I didn't handle things differently.

But you are right, people don’t know what to do and say. I totally get that. But from your own mother, sister, brother and best friend? I didn’t cry or whine or complain. I wrote a blog post to keep people in the loop and I kept it positive But their answer back to me was it upset them and “they” couldn’t deal with it. Such bullshit in my eyes 👀 |

Dang, I posted a reply and it vanished.
Your blog was great... it kept me updated without me having to ask you how things were going. It also educated me a lot.
How disappointing that your best friend let you down. That truly sucks. And as for your mother, wow. That was her moment to put her issues aside and just be a loving mom. What a let down. I'm tearing up that you were let down by the people you should have been able to count on.

I learned thru FB of a co-worker from 30 years prior who had throat cancer and renewed our friendship. He would blog about it and it was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Sadly, he passed. It was awful because it was 100 percent because of his smoking and there were several times he and I got into fights about it because at that time smoking at work was permitted and I couldn't stand it. As you can imagine, he really regretted smoking.
It's hard to know how to act. You don't know whether to just act normal to not dwell on the sickness all the time.
I'm glad you have a clean bill of health yrdiva.

From what I went through people asked me how they should be around me as they were having difficulty. I really appreciated that candour
I didn’t want a pity party. But that is how I felt. I know I did turtle but that was because the drugs made me very ill. Once I made through the first 5 days after chemo I was feeling better and wanted to socialize again. I didn’t want to be left alone in my own thoughts as I didn’t want to get depressed. But that was me.
I really appreciated somebody with me when I went for chemo and stay with me for 2 days while I got sick. After that I was ok and could recover on my own. I also appreciated my dogs walked.
One girlfriend took me out wig shopping and that was fun. We bought a Jennifer Aniston long hair wig. Actually Dee bought it for me and we went to an ice skating show with our granddaughters. Totally fun.
Best rule of thumb is don’t ignore and just ask. Be there and clean their house. Bring flowers to make the house cheery. Help them get out of bed. Or just listen regardless if it is tough for you. This is scary and we need our family and friends 💗💕
