Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Hi Theresa, Hang in there! I know exactly how you feel. When my dad was in ICU this summer my brother who hadnt seen me since I lost all my hair from the cytoxan started yelling at me for faking an illness.He said that everyone on chemo losses their eyebrows and since I hadnt lost mine I was pulling my hair out to get attention. And exactly what kind of disease did I THINK I had. Mind you there was a room full of people that was staring to see what kind of nut was pulling out her hair and faking being sick. Then he yells what AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE EXACTLY IS THAT AND SHOULD EVERYONE BE CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING IT THATS IN THIS ROOM. Well at that point I was so sick and weak I just got up and left crying but I wish I could go back and relive that moment because I would do it different.He left and never saw those people again but I had to face them for days. But with Gods grace I held my head up and went on. I became friends with some and we cried and laughed and prayed together for our loved ones that were sick. I prayed for God to forgive him and at my dads funeral I even hugged him. Life is too short . I am going to scan some pictures of my before RP days and now just so you can see what 1 year has done to me. Do like me build an invisible wall around you and all the bad stuff cant come in but love and happiness just melt their way through.When people hear that I have been sick and on a chemo drug , they expect to see this poor frail looking thing. Instead here comes rolly polly with a big silly looking grin on her face. TAKE CARE AND REMEMBER WE LOVE AND CARE ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!! SENDING YOU BIG HUGS, LOVE AND PRAYERS FROM TEXAS NANCY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
