Fred Meyers Airsoft Gun

TO LIVE AT LEAST GET TO BE GRANDMA!


Carol during treatment

" Hello, my name is Carol, I live in a town near Barcelona and I have almost 33 years and I say almost, because now prefer to put them off years. Many understand why, right?

When I was 29, four and a half months after my daughter was born, I was diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma , then classified as nodular sclerosis type in a stage IIA. The state told me, more or less to be understood in this type of tumor, which was meant for my involvement in several lymph node chains (mediastinum, supraclavicular and axilla), but all above the diaphragm and no symptoms related to illness . The latter I have none so clear, but it qualified.

seems impossible as time goes on, but this November will mark three years since I administered the last session of chemotherapy. In my case, my treatment consisted of 6 cycles (12 sessions) of ABVD scheme and I had to radiate. Completed three cycles, to make a PET-CT scan to determine the response of the treatment, the result could not be better: all the lymph nodes had decreased considerably and did not log tumor activity. Despite the good news, the treatment plan was modified and my "medical care", Dr. Bosch, I said we had to stick with the original plan, so I still had 3 cycles. These latter sessions are those that made me more uphill. thing that encouraged me when I was in the hospital by day, plugged into the machine, was to think that my little girl was waiting at home. Without doubt, my family was the driving force tore me all day to go, but my daughter would not have been the same. She has been and is the reason why it is worth me being here and fight whatever it takes.

Since I finished treatment in November 2007, follow my reviews, and now quarterly results have been satisfactory, ie, the disease remains in remission. A shock because we have carried out some indicator has changed, but knowing we take, because you have to know a little difficulty to draw a blood sample, can lead to some data that it is out of normal. Fortunately, one need only repeat the test and ended the unrest.

go into a hobby like photography and digital edition, was relieved to a large extent during the treatment, especially I mean emotional overload. helped me to keep my mind distracted and is a hobby that I still practice today, less than what I wanted, that's true, but the obligations are obligations. For this reason, I encourage anyone who is affected by these diseases, to resume their hobbies or to inquire about things you'd like to do, always within the possibilities. To achieve mental well-being during the process, I have to practice your hobbies is one of the best aid.

Three years later, I am a completely normal life and when I say completely normal, is that so. I take no medication, nor do I have any disability. Footprint is only one battle, but these marks, these scars, help me remember how I got here, for without struggle there is no victory. I feel good, and not a trace of weariness that the treatment causes. Now is when I can really enjoy my family without worries and certainly I will do everything in my power to have a day to reach a much larger family, with grandchildren! My husband, one of my mainstays, a saint for his patience and love. Of course, he is the grandfather of my grandchildren, and perhaps the father of a sibling for our daughter Sandra.

This is my story, but before I quit, I would like to leave a piece I wrote some time ago, also as a witness. It was a letter I wrote to my daughter, I hope that some day we read together:

"... The treatment ended, I was recovering gradually forces the battles had died down, and I was very happy seeing you do your first year of life. And soon after it reaffirmed what dictated and months testing and treatment is had beaten cancer . And you you also win. You were doing that anxiety was an annoyance. If you had not been, I just wanted to sleep to forget, or go to be free. Now I suffer just thinking of letting this fight should be with you. Do not fear death, but I panicked thinking that I have on your side when I need to think you can not give you all my love, take care, feed, comfort you. But all this suffering, this cross I will carry on their backs while I live, I do not regret, because you are. I love you more than anything or anyone in this world, over my life, no doubt for an instant. Thanks girl ... "

This is my plan, my great plan: I wish you all much strength and courage to overcome your struggles. I leave two words you shared with me and always I have this: "This is what comes out" and "p'alante provided "!!!!" p'alante

Faint Positive Pregnanct Test With Amarican Fare

CARPE DIEM!


Sonia, smiling.

Hello, my name is Sonia Fernandez. For 25 years, my life is tied to the word PTI , so you could say that we are a married couple celebrating their silver wedding anniversary, recalling its good and bad times, but always with a big smile to celebrate a year union over ...

I do not remember the beginning, not the symptoms, as were my parents who, at the age of 5 years, noted that their first child had bruises and patches of very difficult explanation.

The first diagnosis was a hypersensitivity of the skin, which subsequently became a picture of meningitis, providing timely treatment, and after several misdiagnoses and a spinal marrow, in order to exclude a leukemia , my family first met the palaba idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), understanding what they meant for her daughter to live with 10,000 platelets.

fate, chance, or simply l by lot, took our way to a hematologist (out of respect, not name), I "adopted" and taught me from a very young girl who was not sick, it was just someone "special." remember every word of it, the harsh treatments, the operation that removed my spleen with 9 years old ...., but what I remember most is the support of those around me, your words of encouragement, your baby, sleepless nights ....

I will not deny that there were times I did not understand why, especially because I felt guilty for each of the tears that my loved ones had to be shed, but time, as they say, heals all, and today, although my scars always take longer to heal, in my head I have only good memories of those experiences ...

I have 29 years, an average of 50,000 platelets and a lifetime of dreams and projects. Work for four years as technical guidance and employment, career and finished my two years living with my partner, who have always support and respect those little breaks that once I have to do to get stronger, but mostly, I have lucky to be writing these lines, I hope, optimism sound like, because those who know me, always emphasize that quality in me.

My premise is "Carpe Diem" and I hope that my words that occur who read, to enjoy the moment, the fate of being "special" because it makes us see life from another perspective . I encourage you all and a hug from Galicia!

scientific research focused on hematologic malignancies is essential. What is even more so when it comes to rare diseases such as Sonia tells us. The primary mission of the José Carreras Foundation is to get leukemia and other malignant blood diseases are curable. To do this, there is only one answer: more research and better!

Rosario has lymphocytic lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma clinically and molecularly similar to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Raul and Matthew

few months ago, Raul read an interview with Matt in the latest issue of our Foundation (Summer 2010 Bulletin ) which explained that the small " when he grows to become a doctor and airline pilot." addition to being an air traffic controller, Raul usually fly at the Aeroclub de Sabadell. For this reason, he decided to invite Matthew to take a ride on airplane.

We look at the Hospital de Sant Pau to Matthew and Mary. The child is happy because he poses a unique evening. " addition, this may not have hurt me because sometimes poking me open their veins," he says, pleased. The truth is that he speaks like an adult. In commenting on his mother tells us he has matured a lot and force. " Imagine that one day his father tells the joke 'Matthew, you can not be Barca, Deportivo have to be' and, as Andres Iniesta went to visit Matthew when he was in the ICU one Christmas, the child answered his father, 'he did me a favor viniéndome encouraged me to see and now I can not fail . "

After a few months receiving chemotherapy in the hospital from A Coruña, he moved to Barcelona. Matthew had to undergo an autologous bone you been brought back to a more or less normal. Unfortunately, only lasted a year.

And he explains: " It was in the ICU and made a potion with toothpaste, shampoo and other things and I did drink to Carlos, the nurse ." "And did it work ?" He asked. Mary bends and breaks, " imagine the look on his face Mateo when, after a while, becomes a nurse in a blonde wig with braids asking what has made the potion because it feels a little strange ."
At 16h we're in the cafeteria of the Aeroclub de Sabadell waiting for Raul. This comes with his hands full: a sticker album aircraft and an aircraft like the Red Baron for Matthew. The evening is presented very well. Raul Matthew delivers a bottle of liquor typical of Galicia. "He did my grandfather," he says proudly.
