You are my friend. You don't know me. I may not know you. But you are alive and that makes you my friend. I now have a kinship with all people. My cancer has changed the way I feel for you. I want to be everyone's friend. You can see it in my eyes. There is something there that makes people know that I really care for them. And somehow, they care back. They usually don't know that I am sick right off and that doesn't really matter. I now know many people worse off than me. When I suffer I think of them. What can I do to help in some way. Right now physically not much because of what chemo has done to my body. But I can listen and talk and be there for someone. I know I cannot walk in your shoes when you are depressed, nor can you walk in mine. All the people who wish me well and pray for me are trying to give me support in any way they can. That makes me want to do some good for someone even one person at a time. Monday is my last chemo and I hope to begin to feel better next month.
May you find comfort in some way each day and feel good about yourself and your life.
Your Friend,
Caring Person
Yay! Only one more chemo appointment. I am very happy for you. What happens next? Do they monitor you on a regular basis?
I think that everyone reacts differently to life's challenges. You have chosen to find the good in even this experience...it says a lot about you as a person. It seems that you are finding that you have a lot of empathy and compassion for others because you understand how it is to experience pain.
Anyways...good to see you. I hope to hear more from you and about your journey. Thank you for sharing.
MM,
Thank you for your support. They will take a CEA blood test and a pelovic cat scan a few weeeks after chemo ends. If those are OK we just wait. That is all I know at this time. Some things are better if you don't know too soon. You work your way through the maze and hope for the best. I must be ready to deal with whatever comes.
I hope you are doing well. I wish you the best.
Caring Person
