Although I know everyone's body reacts differently and heals differently I much continue to hope I will make a full recovery. Everything I am told or people who visit me all write in a note book so I can have a way to know what is going on as doctor's were telling me things and I would not remember, so they are now writing it down. This has been very helpful because it is very scary to not know what is happening to you or things that are happening with your treatment.
Luckily my work, friends and family have been incredibly supportive, however it still doesn't remove the uncertainty you have with your future in being symptom free.
I want to go home so badly and actually feel going to rehab is a step backwards because I can't go home, but recognise it is the best place for me if I want to have any hope to make a fully recovery. Wish me luck!
Thank everyone for posting their stories as they have been helpful to me and I am sure many others.
