Oh Donata I am so sorry to hear that , I hope they can slow things down and get you treated and well again
its natural to panic and feel that events are getting away and perfectly understandable given your situation !
Try to keep focussed on getting back to health , I truly believe that mind set can help get you better and at least improve your odds , try and imagine being back to normal , staying positive is half the battle .
Keep on fighting you have the doctors fighting for you too

Dear Donata,
I’ve just returned after a few days break from this website and found your post. I am so very sorry to hear your diagnosis. There is nothing I can add to what everyone has said. I am going to put a prayer on the prayer thread for you, and I feel awful that I wasn’t around to answer you post immediatley.
Just to add I will be thinking of you, please keep in touch for as long as you feel up to it, and let us know how you are getting on.
