hi. i'm new here. i just finished posting on the CDJ board. my mom has stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer, and my MIL has this CDJ disease. 2 moms, 2 terminal illnesses...3 stressed out families! anyhoo...i think i need support from people who have been thru this. some times i feel like i'm sooo alone. my friend lost her mom to lung cancer a couple months ago, and she's been great...but some times things come up that i'm afraid to tell her. my mom is going for chemo #4 thursday. she hasn't lost her hair yet, which is awesome, and she says she feels great, due to this wonder pill called Emend. the first treatment was horrible! ironically, the anti-nausea meds made her sooo sick! they had to hospitalize her overnight to give her fluids. thanks for reading...HUGS! |
"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."
