MDJunction to me

jayna01"My name is Jayna and I wanted to take this opportunity to say how much MDJunction has meant to me. I always felt so alone before I joined in April of 2012. I felt like there wasn't anyone that really cared about me and what I was going through. I felt like there was no one that would truly listen to me in what I was feeling. Nobody was there for me. That is before I found MDJ!

I have found and met such good people on these forums. I never ever knew there were such compassionate people before MDJ. It's also nice to know that I can come here anytime and get support for what I am feeling. I feel like I have met some wonderful life long friends. It is also an outlet for me to try and help other people that are hurting. It gives me a good feeling inside and gives me self confidence in helping other people.

I hope MDJ will be as good for you as it has been for me! Many Blessings and Much love.

Sorry it has been so long since I posted...With all that is going on I forgot to. My husband has been in treatment for 4 months with FOLFOX chemotherapy. It did not work at all, the cancer spread to his liver - 8 spots on his liver with the largest one 5.5cm in diameter - from May all tumors grew significantly. Also his cancer blood marker went from 16 to 65. He spleen is enlarged by 20% and his platelets are at 75 where it should be in the 100's. They took him off chemo for a month because they wanted his platelets to come back up, they never did. Now we are trying 5FU chemo, I hope it works. In the middle of all this my mom died from complications of recover from thyroid cancer surgery. She was 80 years old. Despite all of this, we are keeping faith in God and have a positive attitude that chemo will work this time...
