hey Debbie,

Usually I just read the latest posts without signing in but your post tugged on my heartstrings and I just had to reply.

I know this sounds like a cliche (sp?) but HOPE and FAITH is everything. I've been where you are and I do know and understand

Sometimes I get to the point where I think whats the point and then I remember all the love of family and friends, and how important laughter is, even in the worst of times. Yanno my son has this video he made where he is dancing in his shorts and doing these really goofy moves where I just about pee myself watching, its little things like this that keep me going.

I almost wanted to say maybe you should take some time off but then again I think staying around people, even if its fellow employees, may be better. Dont isolate yourself and remember that you will get through this, really.

Treatments in the medical field are constantly changing, and they learn more and more everyday, please keep the faith and hope that they will learn and find more to help us.

The holidays to me do make things a bit harder, my family is so far from me right now, but then I remember that the phone and computer give me instant access to them, and that I will be alright

Hang in there hun, and if you ever want to talk, please just let me know k
hugs,
Dee
