Wednesday, Marjorie and Sirona,
I make a point of visiting this thread every day - umpteen times a day - and I'm always overwhelmed by the mere fact that people genuinely care. I'm not ashamed to say that a Buddhist friend who telephoned last night (and came around with his wife today) had me choked with his sheer kindness and concern. I find myself weeping at all the kind acts - never at anything horrible. I am a sensitive person, but I believe it has helped me connect with so many people - especially you wonderful lot here.
When I was meditating last night I concentrated on the prayers and good vibes that so many of you continually send my way - and I honestly felt that I picked them up! I had a gush of strength and calmness I hadn't felt for a while, so please don't ever think prayers and vibes don't work. I'm living proof that they do.
I'm stronger today than yesterday, though I still have aches. I'm hoping to see a genuine homeopath in August (she's a cancer specialist) and I'm impressed that the brochure says relief from discomfort from cancer can be had. My haematologist offered me nothing - except chemo!
I genuinely feel I can beat this disease and with all your help I can't fail. Most of the regular treatments they are giving to MCL sufferers don't seem to be doing much good, so I'm sticking to my own regimen.
Sincere cyber hugs to you all. One day I hope to hug each of you personally
Love,
Ian
