Some bad stuff can happen to good people you know.
in my whole life, i was never out of work, on unemployment welfare, whatever. I had a great home and a wonderful family.
Just over three years ago, i woke up one morning and i didnt feel too good... really weak and tired. I had some strange bruises on me, that i didnt remember getting. I went to the doctor and within a couple of hours, i got the C word. Cancer, not just regular cancer, oh no thats too simple, i had Leukemia, with the Philadalphia disease thrown in as well. No known cure, " i hope you have your will in order" the doc said.
i used to look like this
after chemo and radiation, i looked like this
and now after 4 years of treatments, i can eat again and taste food. I can get out a little now and i have gained back 35 of the 80 lbs i lost. the depression and hopeless feelings that you have are common, all of us that survived have experienced them too.
You must never give up, keep fighting...oh ya, and wear a hat too ;)

I forgot about Not being able to taste anything,,,,Although 8 years later i still have no feeling in my finger tips and toes,,,not to mention that most of the veins in my arms collapsed which makes me look like a crack head. |
