Hey Kids,
I’m hanging in  there. I have a lot on my mind. I saw my doctor today to review blood work. Something odd came up. A couple years back I was sent to see a specialist-a blood doctor. He has been monitoring my white cell count. I have had a slight elevation and it has always been a "watch and see" kind of thing. Well I was quite startled today. I was given a diagnosis. I was told "no one dies from this" but I have CLL- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. I’ve done some research and most people with this just have it , it doesn’t progress, so we will see.
I almost wish he hadn’t told me. I’ve got a cancer-that is a very weird thing to say.
If you notice holes in my thread thats because i have edited myself. I would rather err on the side of caution than risk hurting someone.
I have said too much already but I will say what was said to me was said in private, not in a group, however at least one other person in the group is aware and i don’t want to face her. I’m not good at awkward. I don’t think I will go to the meeting tomorrow. 3 days of upset is enough and I don’t want to face this tomorrow.
Thanks for your concern guys, I’ll be fine.
I did go to the chiropractic and had the best massage! That was lovely!
peace
