& Nick

[Guest guest]

,

Thanks for your excellent post. Most of us who cannot really relate to a

person's situation, but only imagine unless they have totally been there.

I'm glad someone can closer imagine what Nick is feeling and maybe help. I

came here for information and support and have found a way of helping some

of the others with my support that alone helps me bear this.

We have a couple of other single people in the group. Infact, , the

sweet young lady who started this group is just 21. She is having symptoms

of this disease because she goes through infections and nausea and other

things so she is having to face up to the reality big time. She also has

had her mother die of cancer within the last year and now is helping care

for her 5 year old brother who was almost drown and has brain damage. Want

to try to imagine what someone is going through? Nick maybe you'll get a

chance to talk with her when she gets active in the group again. I'm sure

she went through the anger but then chose to help the rest of us be

providing this special group where anyone can vent and find comfort during

this difficult and sometimes unbearable time of our lives.

Maybe some of the other stories can help you to not feel so alone. I hope

so. Any don't worry about offending us as long as your anger is not at us

but at this disease we understand and want to help in any way we can.
