i'm one who's...(just discovered your blog)<br /><br />i'm one who's inclined to wait and see, even with XMRV testing - not available here yet anyway - and treatment, which my gut tells me is the cause...yet, as you say how much is there to lose? do i just stay grateful that i'm no longer bedridden, on morphine and still screaming in agony. or do i try anything, anything that could give me a chance at something vaguely resembling a life? in a way i'm grateful lots of these things aren't even options for me, here and now.<br /><br />such a huge huge decision for you and i send you thoughts and blessings as you make it. we all have to believe there will be better days...Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189107154073113619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097016924982298387.post-32995969937811161202010-04-21T17:19:13.392-07:002010-04-21T17:19:13.392-07:00It's just not fair that you have to make this ...It's just not fair that you have to make this decision at 26. I agree it's a tough one. I'm in the midst of making it myself. <br /><br />I'm trying to do some research on the chances of developing cancer with stem cells. I'll keep you posted if I find anything solid.<br /><br />Great post. I agree with what Annie and Laurel said. You are a great writer.me/cfs warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299057722862223585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097016924982298387.post-88965756876724200252010-04-19T12:25:38.869-07:002010-04-19T12:25:38.869-07:00Alison, you really are a fantastic writer.

My life rarely involves anything bigger than moving from the couch to the bed, and sometimes I wonder if it is a life at all. Tis better to keep fighting than give in though.<br /><br />I hope you find the answer you are looking for.<br /><br />xoxoxoxoxoxoxox<br />AnnieAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910318186594054287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097016924982298387.post-87355145632644738582010-04-19T08:18:17.972-07:002010-04-19T08:18:17.972-07:00A difficult choice, and I can understand your stru...A difficult choice, and I can understand your struggle. I don't know enough about stem cells to help you in your decision (I'm too sick to make the trip so it's not an option for me), but I know how hard it is to decide on an experimental treatment. There are so many "what if"'s and it can be impossible to know which path will lead to the best outcome. But when you do make your decision, trust that it's the right one.<br /><br />You are a gifted writer, by the way. I enjoy reading your blog.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688914443102913569noreply@blogger.com
