Hi Erik,

We have all felt the way you do at sometime during the treatment and healing phase of this journey. It is normal. I am 6 months post treatment and I still am pissed at the quality of my life. I can't eat alot of foods that i used to love. I sure miss biting into a good BLT sandwich. Milk runs through my nose every time I drink it. Each swallow is a thought out process.
I am still on anti-depressents and my wife says keep taking them because I am a lousy companion
without them. BUT, I am alive and kicking. Back to work and the hardest thing to me is realizing this is my new life. You will feel better!!! It takes time. I thank God I have this time.

I can't wait to meet my new friends from this forum when the reunion happens in the fall. I know I will shed alot of tears when I meet the people who have helped me so much as I travel this journey. It makes me feel so good to help others who are just starting the journey. I can offer my experiences with my treatment and offer support to anyone I can. I was a loner before I was DX with cancer. I never knew how many friends I had until the cards started arriving. It humbled me. Please know you are not alone as you go through your treatment. You will get better. My contribution pales in comparision to some of the reguler posters. Gary, Mark, Mandi, KCDC, Judy, Debbie, Dee, Brian and so many others have helped me. I will be foreever grateful to the support from so many I now call friends. This is a pretty tight group. You to one day will be the one helping others who follow. I wish I could win a lottery and donate a million dollors to the foundation. Money is what the foundation needs. Brian has donated his life to this cause. He humbles me. So I am done rambling but remember one thing, You are not alone!!!

Best wishes, Your friend, Danny Boy
