So the emails and well wishes are rolling in. Friends and family from past, present and future. What people often forget about major illnesses is that they effect more than just the person suffering from the illness. There are many people in my life affected by what I'm going through. Sometimes it reminds them of their own mortaility, sometimes it is a reminder of somone they have lost.
Yesterday I recieved a message from an old friend who had been with me when I went through cancer 15 years ago. She said she knew I was strong enough to pull through this as I had in the past.
I am very torn between the feeling that I can handle this because I've been ill before and the "why me" feeling. I know I can survive this but I'm angry that I have to do it AGAIN.
On the positive front I wouldn't have the insight that comes with six surgeries if I hadn't had cancer and ulcortive colitis.
