Not a good year

This year 2012 has not been a good year for me health wise. I am 59 yrs oldb and have type one diabetes since 1956, now 56 and 3/4 yrs. last June I found out that I have blood cancer, and have been in treatment of chemo and blood transfusion once or twice a month. Been having chess pains since June and felt that it was the cancer. After the transfusions the pain would go away. So had a cath done into the heart, and now tomorrow I will have a triple by pass. I DO FEEL VERY MUCH ALONE, EVEN THROUGH MY WIFE HAS BEEN A GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT TO ME, AND WILL BE THERE FOR ME. THANKS FOR ANY HELP DENNIS

Dennis, the surgery might make a huge difference in how you feel.
I was on dialysis for 14 months a couple of years ago and got NO support from my family.But that's just how it was. I got a ton of support from my friends here at TD and am so grateful.

Dennis, hope you are continuing to heal, sending out some fresh hugs to you and the family.

Yes, Dennis. Here's to a wonderful (at least way better,) 2013 for you. Thanks, Marie, for bringing Dennis back into our thoughts.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I am feeling better now than I have in the last two years. My cancer is under control, went to Johns Hopkins yesterday and my blood levels are up to 12.6 which is the highest it has been for 4 yrs. I FEEL SO GOOD!
