I am in the process of writing a book. It is on going book that is actually my autobiography. It describes in detail what I have gone through. Part of my book describes some of the people who have dealt with Leukemia and bone marrow transplants.
There are more then twenty years of the stories in this book. I will never publish it because I usually try to help others with Leukemia Here is a small part of it. I became involved with a web site called Caringbridge about a year ago. This is a site where people that are ill, usually Leukemia, but other life threatening illnesses as well can post their experiences of what they are going through by having cancer. People visit these sites and give support, encouragement and prayers to them. This is where I first met G. D. She is a woman in her early thirties and has a sister by the name of Mary. Mary used to update the Caringbridge site as Gloria went through the transplant ordeal. It was a very difficult time for G, Mary and their mother Nancy, as well as all of their family. It is a very religious, pious and close-knit family, and there was so many on the Internet site that would leave their support and prayers. I truly believe that if G hadn't felt that everyone wasn't praying for her to get through this terrible time she wouldn't have made it. There is a very special connection with all of her family and GOD that through her belief it made it something so strong that it was like GOD came down and kissed her. It was also a time for her to test her beliefs, and I must say that she beat this horrible disease for the shear beliefs that she and her family all have. They are all very amazing people that I truly admire. I would always try to encourage her by sending her little poems and things that I went through. I would try to let her know that those very terrible mouth sores that probably were the worst part of her ordeal would subside as soon as her white blood count would come up. Sometimes when someone that had already gone through it tells what to expect before it actually happens then the patient is more prepared, and knows what to expect. It is a shame that she wasn't told about some of the things she would be going through beforehand. I know just how much G had to endure and to put it bluntly she really suffered, both in mind and body. Sometimes she wouldn't post anything because she was too sick to let anyone know. Her sister Mary would usually do all of the posts on the Caringbridge site, and when she didn't we all really started to worry. I had spoken with Mary most of the time, but with also their mother, Nancy. There were so many concerns, and whenever I would be asked a question I would always answer any of them as honestly as I could. Anyway, This story go on but the one thing that I want to bring out is the part about having the mind controlling the body and as well as the opposite. 18's Marty -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
