^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thank you JohnL, Noa, Abby, medlib, Shar, Chris A. and Elizabeth for your
support, ideas, collective concern and kind words. I've gained more insight
from your posts than from all the medicine men I've seen so far.In hindsight, though, I wonder if they can really be faulted for what seemingly appears
to be unconcern and/or indecisiveness. My situation *is* risky and tricky. The
way I see it is one of responsibility and no one wants to be responsible if their
treatment fails and I die. I wouldn't blame them if I did, but at least I want the
chance to determine what the outcome might be, good or bad. I just so tired of being
sick all the time.But would you like to know what the very worst thing about this whole affair is?
It's the hopelessness. This feeling that you're in a pit, buried alive.I've printed out all the posts and will make the necessary contacts. But before doing
so, I'm going to inform the medicine men/women I know and tell them what I plan to do,
out of respect for their profession, and to show them that there are many alternatives
to conventional treatments. I also want to let them read the comments and suggestions
by real people living in a real world.I love you all for guiding me to new hope, with the chance at a new life.
I'll keep you informed about this as time goes by (slowly, I hope).I remain (a damaged),
