Dear friend, We are all living on borrowed time from the moment we were born. It is up to us to do as much as we can with it. Still, there are days when we want to forget everything and just make believe it is not happening. Still I met a very wise child once. He called me to tell me that he was going to be an entomologist when he grew up. That would have been nothing, except for the fact that he was dying of cancer and he knew it. He was 7 and he was my grandson, Tomás.

I think in your shoes how you feel about the situation is understandable. Hearing your hematology levels are low makes sense why you have no energy.

I know it is difficult. My grandfather went through the same thing. He finally said no more transfusions. He just got sick of the whole routine, and truthfully, he wasn't feeling very well.. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

We all are living on borrowed time, and I'm so sorry you feel so down. Get that fighting attitude back! Your outlook makes a world of difference. In the meantime, I hope tomorrow is a better day.

You are entitled to feel that way once in a while but life is so worth living and having a positive attitude can help make that happen.

It is normal that you feel that way, the blood transfusion will help to perk you up again. Meanwhile, stay around here with your MyLotter friends, that will help you pass time until the treatment does what it does best. Best Wishes

I hope you'll feel better! Sometimes it is weird to think that injections keep alive, but the importance is that you can live with this help.
