Well, tonight I went to my first support group for Leukemia survivors. I had mixed results. Because I was a first timer, they had me tell my story (which you can read elsewhere on the 'tell my story' board). That always gives me a little lift for some reason. Unfortunately, the rest of the meeting was dominated by a couple of people who had significantly different situations than mine. Everyone was using acronyms and talking about doctors and procedures that I was unfamiliar with, so that was a little confusing. But they were very supportive of me and gave me some literature to read and commiserated. That made me feel good. I'm going to try a different one next week. I'll keep my expectations low and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. It felt good to do something 'proactive'.
As always, thanks for listening,
Bo
