One year ago, I was fighting for my life, in the hardest struggle I have ever faced- Acute Myelogenous Leukemia threatened to take my life- and here I am a year later, post gastric bypass, and I am having a doozy of a time dealing with the emotions brought forward by thinking of this last year, that has felt like more of a lifetime than anything else-

  • yhu soud like you where going through a hard time be strong

  • We are walking the same path darling girl and are doing it at the same time. Your videos truly touched me. I have some of those same thoughts sometimes but we were given the right to be here so that we can do exactly what you're doing - helping people understand how it feels to live with a cocked gun at our heads because our sense of security has been ripped from our souls and our lives are threatened every day. You earned the right when you help others as you so eloquently are doing. Godspeed!

  • Hi there Maria. So I'm in Med School right now and just finished studying about this disease. But just after watching your videos i realized how much you and anyone else with this disease has been through. God Bless you

  • Oh honey I hate seeing you so sad & in pain. You shouldn't feel guilty for being alive. You asked "what gives you the right to be here" God gave you that right, he took your hand & guided you through your illness last year & put you on a new path... for a new journey. Whatever it may be, god isn't done with you yet sweetie. Keep your chin up & keep smiling that beautiful smile :-) (((HUGS)))

  • (((HUGS))) I am sorry you are feeling the way you are. There is a reason you are here. A reason you survived what you went through. I may not be able to tell you what that reason is. But I can tell you that you have touch my life. I am sure there are others you have influenced and touched in your own way. Keep in mind the surgery also effects your hormones. Things will get better. ((HUGS))

  • You are right! A lot of us make a big deal out of trivial things. We need to stop and realize just how much we have going for us in our favor. It is easy to take life for granted.

    I hope reminding you that we are here for you will brighten your day:)

  • Maria, It breaks my heart to see you so sad:(

    It is hard to know what to say. I have never been in your shoes. I don't know what its like to have leukemia. I do know that although I am just beginning to get to know you, you seem like a very caring and loving person.
