Thank you for commenting. I am so sorry abo...Tracy,<br />Thank you for commenting. I am so sorry about your diagnoses. This is not an easy thing to go through. For me it made a world of difference knowing that there were people like you and me, fighting and often winning the daily struggle of living with a disease. I got my first cancer-free verdict in July, and while I still find this whole experience frightening and nonsensical, I am cheered and strengthened by the connections I have made to other cancer survivors. My thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with you!<br />-MaryMary Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557269972412454446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272206221509711978.post-18628540897795474072012-08-22T00:03:02.068-05:002012-08-22T00:03:02.068-05:00Thanks for validating exactly how I feel. Since my...Thanks for validating exactly how I feel. Since my diagnosis last week, I have been reminded that I have not been given a "death sentence" a couple of times. Such a great reminder from a healthy people who aren't getting ready to have surgery! Not to mention that I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when I was 29 and had a 6 month old baby. I could write several books about my life experiences with MS alone, how could I possibly be such a bad person that I would get diagnosed with cancer, too? Especially since I have been saying (for 17 years) .... at least I didn't get diagnosed with cancer. Somehow it made MS seem milder, although incurable and debilitating! I found out tonight that one of my friends sees me as a "pillar of strength". I told her how sad I am and how often I just lay in my bed and cry. She thinks I am strong because I just don't go out when I am weak or too fatigued from MS. I am used to pain, but I JUST DON'T WANT ANYMORE! Thanks for being candid. I am a nurse, but I can no longer handle the demands of working in Labor & Delivery. BUT, I am still terrified of surgery and terrified of the radioactive iodine and what it will do to my MS invaded brain and body! I hope you are doing as well as can be expected :) I am looking forward to reading more of your blog.

I loved reading your post, it made me ...Aww, Mary. I loved reading your post, it made me feel like your close by instead of hundreds of miles away. I'm sad that I'm not there to be by your side but I'm glad my family is there for you. I hope to visit soon. I love you so much!!<br /><br />ChristinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
