Hello to everyone.
I am sorry it has been so long sense my last post but I would come in here and read some of the stories and get really scared. I guess I thought if I didn't read them and didn't know about them then everything with me would be alright. I have been going through test, treatments and dr visits for a year now and I want to report that I no longer have signs of cancer. I am sorry for not posting here all along because MY STORY turned out great and I may have helped someone else not be so scared. I should have let you know all the steps, and procedures and results so maybe, if someone was getting ready to go through this, you don't have to be scared. If you have a good medical group ( I had great people helping me ),if you have a lot of faith in God, if you have friends and support,( you will find lots of that here ). You will get through this. I went through radiation, chemo had to have calcium IVs and for months, I was seeing a different Dr every day but,,,I made it through it. I want to let you know, I had ABSOLUTELY no pain or sickness during all of this. It didn't slow me down at all and I kept doing all the things I wanted to do. So,, for those of you that are going through this or getting ready to, Don't be scared, you see, I can tell you that, NOW. I know it won't stop you from being scared because everyone said the same thing to me. Keep your head up,,trust in God and let your family and friends know how you feel and talk to them about your fears and feelings. I have faith in God, enough for a lot of people so I will pray for you all. I will ask him to not let your fears overcome you and to place a calming hand on you when you feel overwhelmed.. My email address is waivie_howard@yahoo.com. if anyone wants to ask questions or just talk, feel free to write me anytime. God Bless you all and may you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, I know I will.
