Offering hope

[beanlake14]

Today is my dad's birthday, and I am just thinking of him wanting to offer hope to those on here. Two years ago, on his birthday, I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. It was my secondary cancer as three years prior I was diagnosed with CLL and underwent 4 rounds of FCR. When the CLL came back and I was getting ready to go into a clinical trial, the CT showed stomach cancer. I had to get that removed before the trial could start. In between all of this my mom died of Sepsis due to HER CLL. Anyway, here I am almost finished with my trial, walking every day, still working, being so careful due to covid. But, the point is, I am still standing. My parents taught me that. You can stand too. The medical miracles we are offered now are incredible. Do your research; reach out; be an advocate for yourself and your community. We can all do this. I love this forum so very much. Thank you.

I often need one as well. I have been through the ringer, but seriously, doing great now! We can all get through dark times.

You certainly have and we all need to be lifted up by those who manage to get through it. Thank you!
