MDJunction - People Helping People
 

MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many.

A little about me: I have suffered from panic disorder more than 25 years, most of those years were spent trying to figure out what was wrong with me. It has only been within the last 5 years that I knew. I now am coming to terms with it and I have a great doc that helps me understand that this is a disorder not just in my head.

My Mom died 6 years ago of ovarian cancer. I took care of her for 7 years and learned much about love, hope, strength and way too much about ovarian cancer.

I am also the group leader on the ovarian cancer and leukemia sites.

I am married to a great guy that understands and tries to help. He has leukemia and has his own struggles but always has time for me. He's been in remission for 3 years now.

We have 3 grown children, 5 grandkids...and omg 2 great grandchildren, Devin and newborn Allyson!

a HugThe #1 reason why people Quit, is because they look how far they've got to go, NOT how far they've come.
