Hi Ahmed, I am very sorry that you are now a new "warrior" to this disease. Remember that you are ALWAYS welcome here. So many people here have wished you only the best, and that is exactly what your going to get. All that you need to do is just hang in there.
I also noticed that you have made mention of GOD several times. I know that GOD watches over all of us and I am a living example of just that. I had CML more then 21 years ago and underwent a bone marrow transplant. I know that I could have not "made" it through if it were not for my belief in GOD. While I was going through all of this while living in a small plastic bubble for many months (that is how it was done those many years ago) One of the oncology nurses taught me three simple words which I am now passing on to you. I know that you have been suffering from some side effects so these three words will have a very special meaning to you just as they had for me. Ahmed, "IT'S ONLY TEMPORARY" My wish is as yours is, a cure for cancer... May I wish you and every one else a very HEALTHY and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
