Hi,
I just joined this website tonight. I guess I am just looking for people to talk to about how to get through the bad days and still keep hope alive. As I said in my profile, my Dad has AML (he originally had MDS, had a marrow transplant and the disease came back). We are such a strong family–my mom, dad, sister and me-- and I think that we can get him through this fight. I don’t want to push him though. Every decision that my Dad has made about the disease has been his and his alone. He wants to fight this. Tomorrow he starts his treatment and I took off from work to be with him. I want to make sure he eats and does physical therapy , but I don’t want to be a nag (My Dad always calls me his second wife). I just know we have to make sure he does this stuff so that he can fight the disease. It just gets so hard. I am 23 years old. My Dad has a lot left to see. I don’t know what I am looking for by writing this. But thank you for listening.
