Thanks for sharing this. You speak to my heart tonight.
I have just spent two days with specialists and am wondering where I'll find the money and the fortitude to participate in the proposed treatments. I've been a compliant patient for 30 years. Treatment proposals are becoming more likely to cause additional medical issues. It's a tough choice; yet, there's only certain types treatment that might allow me to keep walking.
Life is so full of many types of challenges, as you have mentioned. It can become very overwhelming. The financial stress, alone is a major stressor.
I am glad you are in a better place this year.
Your sharing serves to also remind us all that despite challenges, our overall perspective can change for the better. It's a message of hope.
Thank you!
