Re: Re: hi again everyone

[Guest guest]

Hey

I am on the treatments right now .I have been for

almost 5 months. My last check -up there was no sign

of the virus. I must admit this has been the worse 5

months of my life. But, i have agood attitude and i

have great moral support.To be honest i couldn't tell

you if i would do them again.I still get sick and have

lost so much weight i look aweful.But i believe the

good Lord is watching over me and he has Great plans

for me.Get on those anti-depressants asap!!

I just went back to work after serveral months and it

is still hard ,but i had to do something i was going

nuts.I will do all i can ,but i will not push myself.

That has been the hardest part for me is letting go of

the fact that i am not a saint.It has to be all about

me.

I wish you all the best and i will pray that

whatever you choose to do that God will be by your

side. He's so awesome!! God be with you!! Please keep

in touch and try to stay focused. I know it's easier

said than done, but Just look at God for guidance!!
