TThank you all for all the well wishes and board juju and prayer and whatever. I have already had a good week of treatment on chemo with good response, but it is still an 8 month marathon or so. Reflecting on raising difficult children, at least the only person I have to worry about taking medicine right now is me. I realize that I can enjoy one day at a time. We are still waiting for final studies to be done and will be meeting with doctor in a couple of weeks to try to nail down the long term plan which will probably involve bone marrow transplant. that is kind of scary. But i have this sense that i can focus on being on board as much as possible with the treatment.
I still think about all the wonderful women on the substancr abuse forum. I think watching your chidren self destruct and having to practice detachment would seem like the ultimate nightmare. At least here i am in charge ef myself. Suffering comes in all forms. What amazes me on a daily basis is how much collective strength we can muster on behalf of our kids.
I WILL check in a few weeks. Keep me in your thoughts as I have so many times for you. Is there some mantra or thought that has gotten you through a difficult time/
Thanks for being there ladies. I feel so buoyed by all these hands holding me up.
